The AMHA Ultimate Gelding Regional Awards are awards that will be presented each year at all three of the AMHA Regional Championship Shows. A Champion Award will be presented to the top placing gelding for each division. The awards are based on points and will be awarded in three divisions – youth, amateur and open. Points will follow the horse, and the appropriate award will be presented to the RECORDED owner as of the transfer and/or Lease deadline for the Regional shows in the current show year. Only 1 Award will be given regardless of how many names are on the horse’s registration papers. It’s up to those recorded to determine “who” gets the award. 1) Although non-nominated horses will be eligible to compete in the specified classes for Regional Championship Show titles, only nominated geldings will be eligible to receive AMHA Ultimate Gelding Regional Awards. 2) A gelding must be nominated by: Completing a nomination form and giving the form and required nomination fee to show management before the horse goes into his first class. The nomination fees are as follows: Youth/YOTE - $25.00 Amateur/AOTE - $25.00 Open - $25.00 A gelding can be nominated in one, two or all three divisions.
