Should any of the required information be omitted on the form, the points for that event will not count towards Year-End Awards.

5. Rules for qualification are the same as for any award given by Calizona with regard to membership dues, and length of show/parade/trail ride season ending no earlier than October 31st of the current year (see General Rule #11).

6. Parade or Trail riding participation credits may be accumulated by participating in only Calizona sponsored or pointed events. Each one horse/one rider combination with a points declaration on file for the respective Division will earn one (1) participation credit for participating in the event.

7. Year End Awards will be computed on a one horse/one rider basis. In the event of sale, death or injury to horse, such that the combination is unable to compete for the rest of the year, a statement from the owner shall be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval of a new horse.

The owner will receive a “Calizona Certificate” that shall be presented at all Calizona sponsored/pointed parades or trail rides to indicate the horse is eligible to represent the Appaloosa breed in a public forum in which Calizona may participate and may partake in Calizona’s Parade or Trail Riding Division year- end awards.

10. Other persons related to a Calizona member with non-Appaloosa horses are welcome as Calizona members and may participate in Calizona’s trail rides but are not eligible for year-end awards. These members and horses are also not eligible to ride as part of the parade group or participate in public forum events (i.e., Appaloosa breed demonstrations) except by the express approval of the Calizona Board of Directors.

Parade Division Example: Leslie, Debbie & CJ have Parade Division point declarations on file, ride as part Calizona’s Mounted Parade Group in respective events, meet the requirements, and accumulate participation credits thus earning themselves a patch or respective annual award (e.g. 2013 CZ Parade Rider).

Trail Division Example: Paul & Larry have Trail Division point declarations on file, participate in Calizona’s hosted or sponsored trail rides, meet the requirements and accumulate participation credits thus earning themselves a patch or respective annual award (e.g. 2013 CZ Trail Rider). This award is different from the All Breed Division award because they only rode on Calizona’s sponsored or pointed rides and did NOT participate in any rides by outside organizations that were not pointed/approved by CZ.

THESE RULES SHALL NOT BE DELETED FROM, ADDED TO OR OTHERWISE CHANGED IN ANY WAY WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNTIL THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING TYPICALLY HELD IN DECEMBER 2016. BY-LAWS CAN ONLY BE CHANGED WITH A GENERAL MEMBERSHIP VOTE.
