NOTE: To be eligible for points, ponies must submit an official height at the beginning of every year, until the pony is 6 years of age. ALSO, the pony must be shown by a QPA member for points to count.
Examples
Place 2nd with 4 in class = 1 point
Place 1st with 2 in class .5 points
Place 8th in class of 30 = 11 points
