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.
The 2017 High Point winner was Zephyr Magic from Victoria, ridden by Emma Turnbull. Zephyr Magic is a successful all-rounder who competed in Dressage, Showing, Show-jumping and Combined Training to accumulate the highest points for the year.
Individual section winners for 2017 were:
| Sport | Horse |
| Dressage | Zephyr Magic |
| Show jumping | Zephyr Magic |
| Two phase | Mystic Shadows Delta Fowfire |
| Showing | Zephyr Magic |
| Western | O’Bees Warlords Wish |
| Long distance | Mystic Shadows Little Miss Gypsey |
Points will only be awarded from the ‘Valid From’ date that is printed on your high point card. This ‘valid from’ date refers to when you renewed (or joined) and became a financial 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.
Roll of Merit
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
