NSBA rewards youth members for their participation in NSBA programs and encourages them to become lifelong learners through the Smart Points program.

Youth riders must have an NSBA membership, enroll in the Smart Points program, and either ride an NSBA Stallion Incentive Fund (SIF) horse, or register their horse into the Smart Points program, in order to earn Smart Points money. The name on the Smart Points enrollment and NSBA membership must be exactly the same. Each NSBA point that the youth rider earns in a Dual Approved, or other designated youth class, will earn a money value, including Novice youth and walk-trot classes.

NSBA Smart Points also sponsors the National Youth Activity Team Tournament (NYATT) at the All American Quarter Horse Congress, and the Youth Team Tournament at the APHA Youth World Show. This sponsorship allows the youth to enter and earn NSBA points towards the Smart Points program, as well as year-end awards.

How To Cash Out Earnings

Participating youth receive an annual printout of their earnings. Those who "age out" of the youth program will automatically be mailed their accumulated earnings the year after they turn 18. The payout will be sent to the Smart Points participant at the address on record with NSBA. Please contact NSBA if the youth member's address changes.

If the Smart Points total is greater than $600, the former youth will receive a 1099 to submit for tax purposes.

Any earnings that are eligible for payout and remain unclaimed are moved to the NSBA Scholarship Fund annually.
