Oberst Awards - How It Works
Shows
Oberst Award points are tallied after each of 12 monthly breed shows hosted by the Warmblood Society. These shows are fee-free, however to participate you must be a member of the Warmblood Society.
Point System
Points are accumulated following the HFSHC Point System (including bonus points for classes with 50+ participants). Points earned in each level are tallied for each show. Points earned in general halter classes do not count towards the Oberst Awards - however the Prospect/In-Hand classes for each discipline will be counted.
Breeder Points
Breeder points are determined by tallying points earned by all horses bred or created by a player ("breeder" refers to the first person to own the horse)
Trainer Points
Trainer points are determined by tallying points earned by all horses currently owned by that trainer ("trainer" refers to the current owner of the horse)
Sire Points
Leading sire totals are determined by tallying all points earned by that stallion's offspring in each show for each discipline
Dam Points
Leading dam totals are determined by tallying all points earned by that mare's offspring in each show for each discipline
Horse of the Year Points
Points are tallied for each horse showing at a given level of a certain discipline (for example, Open Level Hunters) for each show. All points earned at that level are counted (example: Open Hunters Under Saddle and Open Hunters Over Fences). Points earned in halter classes do not count - however, horses DO earn points if showing in the Prospect/In-Hand class for a discipline (Hunter Breeding In-Hand).
