Roll of Merit and Annual High Point Competition

The Australian Friesian Warmblood Horse Society Inc. runs an annual high point competition. The competition year commences on 1 January and concludes on 31 December of each year.

In 2021, we also underwent a process to review the Annual Hi Point Competition, from the awards being offered through to the way the points are allocated. All members were invited to comment and provide suggestions based on a member survey and then the information was collated for a proposal to be designed. It was put back to the members in late 2021, who voted in favour of adopting the proposed system. We are very much looking forward to the cards being returned for the 2022 year and hearing the feedback from our members.

In the meantime, we were able to award both state and discipline awards for 2021 and went for a Live Online event to announce all the awards. Feel free to check out the announcement by clicking here: -> 2021 Hi Point Award Results

Points will only be awarded from the date of your renewal and/or horse registration date (for new registrations). This date  is registered with the Society each year when you become a member or when your horse was registered. Therefore, if you renew your membership in April, any events you compete in from January – March cannot be counted. Both the horse and the handler/rider must be a current financial member for points to be counted.

The AFWHS Inc. Roll of Merit (ROM) is an open ended cumulative award that started in 2015, based on performances listed on your annual High Point card. The ROMs will be awarded in each discipline and as it is a cumulative award, only your four best performances of the year will be recorded in the ROM register.

There are four levels of the ROM as below:

• Bronze – 150 points
• Silver – 300 points
• Gold – 500 points
• Platinum – 1000 points
