NOTE: For those who have asked, and for any others wondering why the scoring is so low. The reason for this is that competitors were judged by an international NRHA judge on strict international standards. Because of this competitors now have an indication of how their runs at the show would stack up on an international level, rather than on
If competitors had been judged by an AQHA or NZ judge as we usually are in our Reining in NZ at western shows, you could make a vague comparison with how you might usually be scored by adding approx 5 points to each score from our Futurity show (except the 0 scores of course).
We hope this clears up any concern.
