The National Roll of Merit is a series of Awards which may be achieved both at Halter and Working. It is open to all member/owners of Andalusian horses. There is no time frame to achieve these awards, so members are able to continue gaining points towards their Awards even if it is necessary to have a break in competition for various reasons.
A horse gaining his/her Roll of Merit in the nominated section is awarded a certificate and cup in recognition of his/her achievement. If a horse gains both Halter and Working Awards, he/she is also issued with a parchment Champion Roll of Merit Certificate. A sire or dam achieving his/her Progeny Award receives a Cup and, on achieving the Champion Progeny Award, receives the Champion parchment certificate.

GENERAL RULES
The Roll of Merit has been designed to record and recognize consistent meritorious performance by Andalusian horses. It enables members to reach a goal and gain an award in their own time.

2. A horse, once nominated and fee paid, is entered for life. Points may be gained from commencement of nomination and continue until R.O.M. is gained, regardless of any change in ownership.
