Ride Australia Program
	The Ride Australia program will recognise PHAA registered horses, which do not always compete in shows as well as those that do so. This program will give incentive for owners to promote their horses in ALL equestrian fields. Members can accumulate hours in Endurance Rides, Organised Trail Rides, Pony Club, Agricultural Shows, EFA Competitions, PHAA / HSAA / AQHA Approved Shows, or simply by pleasure riding their horse - the choices are endless. At the conclusion of each event or each ride the owner must complete a Ride Australia Record Sheet with the details, as each sheet is filled, it is to be returned to the PHAA to have your hours officially recorded. All hours are accumulated as lifetime totals with awards given at certain milestones. There are no annual Honour Roll Awards for the Ride Australia Program. The onus is on the owner to submit a record of hours to the PHAA office. Awards will be printed in the Paint Horse Journal and members will be encouraged to write a story on their achievements.
Guidelines
	All horses in the program must be registered with the PHAA and enrolled in the program using the Official Ride Australia Enrolment Form and by paying once only lifetime enrolment fee of $35.00. Hours will not be credited until such time as the horse is enrolled, the fee paid and the owner a financial member of the PHAA. Horses under 3 years of age are not eligible for enrolment. The horse Certificate of Registration will be noted with the enrolment and should be forwarded to the office with the enrolment form. The owner of the horse must be a financial member of the PHAA for hours to be recorded. Should the rider of the horse not be the owner, then they too must also be a financial member of the PHAA. Hour credits remain with the horse, not the rider, and are transferred with the horse on transfer of ownership. Once a Ride Australia Record Sheet is filled, it must be returned to the PHAA Office within 30 days of the date of the last entry in order to be accepted. Sheets returned 31 to 60 days late will be accepted with payment of a late fee of $25-, forms submitted after 60 days of the date of last entry will not be accepted. Only hours as recorded on the Ride Australia Record Sheets will be accepted.
