Harford Horse Shows Association, Inc.
Points & Standings
Remember to keep a personal record of your points for all shows. Show management has up to 7 days to provide our Point Keeper with their official judges cards. Until those cards are received, we are unable to update points standings. Once received, the Point Keeper will post as soon as time permits.


Points from the four HHSA presented shows at the Bel Air Equestrian Center will be used to determine the recipients of the annual Benefit Show perpetual trophies.


In order to qualify for a year end award in any division, you must participate in three (3) HHSA pointed shows and earn a minimum collective ten (10) points in that particular division.


2025 year-end points will become final two (2) weeks after the last show of the season on September 20, 2025.
