When you join ($15 fee) Green Beans, you’ll be able to Register and Login.  As a registered member, you can begin sending in all the extra cool things you do during the season.  Those points add up and can earn you a year end award!  Also, since our motto is “To Finish is to Win”, everyone earning just 25 points will receive a certificate and custom embroidered patch! 

There’s ‘s a pretty long list of cool ways to earn points, so be sure to check out the Rules page to learn about all of them.  Each submission will earn you “Bonus” points and those points will accumulate along with points earned from riding at an AERC event which we receive from the AERC office automatically.  It’s super import that you send us all those cool things you do within 60 days or they can’t be included.  

As your points stack up, you’ll see two  scoreboards, each tallying your points a bit differently.  The “Rider” scoreboard will include all points you earn from all horses you ride and the “Teams” scoreboard is all of your points earned for you AND your team, if you choose to join one.  Any bonus points earned for non-riding activities will be counted in each scoreboard.   Curious about teams?  Scroll down for  a special section on that….

We also have the Tally-Hoe Mileage Derby!  This is a separate points program and included in your membership fee.  Consider this like an online riding journal where you can record where your rode, the mileage completed, how it went, a photo, the app you used, and more.  It’s as simple or complex as you want.  These reports include training, conditioning, arena work, equi-jogging, and competition miles.  For every 100th mile recorded, you’ll earn bonus points back over on the Green Bean Challenge program – all automatically!  And, everything you enter is completely confidential.  The only part that’s public is your current mileage total.
