Intent of Proposal (include additional pages as necessary):

The intent of this proposed rule change is to provide a separate youth award recognition program for the youth (10 & Under Short Stirrup) reining competition.  Further, this proposed rule change provides an additional level of points recognition based on a study of cumulative youth points and the need to recognize the increasing number of youth who achieve more than the current 800 point level.
