Notes:
The word ‘horse’ above should be taken as to also include pony.
“Distance” awards include NCRs, “Points” awards do not unless specified that they do.
“Points” are scored as specified in the EGB Members Handbook, except for the Shimara Cup and Associate Members Trophy – where the points scored are specified above. Where trophies include points for NCRs, then the points counted for NCRs will be distance points only.
