Ineligibility Fee If a rider wins prizes and awards in a NRHA class at a WCRHA Affiliate or Year End Show and it is later determined by NRHA that the rider or horse was ineligible for that class, the rider will be assessed an administrative fee of $50 to be paid to WCRHA. The $50 fee must be paid no later than 30 days after the rider receives notice of ineligibility from the show secretary. It is also the responsibility of the rider to return all prizes and awards to the show secretary no later than 30 days after receiving notice from the show secretary. The $50 fee is for the expenses relating to the redistribution of the prizes and awards. If the rider has not paid the $50 fee or returned all of the prizes and awards before the next WCRHA Affiliate or Year End Show then they will be considered not in good standing with WCRHA and unable to earn year end points.
