Please refer to the Exceptional Challenge Division for details.
The owner/exhibitor must have FMHA membership dues paid by February 1st of the award year in order for their points to count toward the high point awards. All shows prior to this date will count provided that the membership dues are paid by February 1st.

Points earned at the Citrus Cup Regional Morgan Horse Show will count double towards high point accumulation. The horse/exhibitor must show in a division at least twice (two different shows) to be counted for the high point award.
