HIGH POINT PROGRAM

You must be a member of the Welsh Pony and Cob Association of Ontario and attend at least two shows to be eligible. You may attend as many shows as you like but only points from your top 5 shows will be tabulated towards High Points.
​
Please visit www.wpcao.ca/show-schedule for a list of High Point shows.

In the event of a tie, the exhibitor or pony with the most first place wins will be given the award. The decision of the board of directors of the WPCAO is final in determining winners of high point awards.

In the performance division classes to count will be basic driving, under saddle classes and equitation.
