2) Horse must have shown qualities of achievement that were above all others competing at that time.

3) Horses may be nominated for this award at any time. For example: If a horse was retired 15 years ago, and records can prove that the horse competed at a level that separated it from other horses competing at that time, it would be eligible for nomination to the Stall of Fame.

7) Achievements outside OCTRA recognized events will be taken into consideration providing the horse has achieved a good measure of his successes in OCTRA sanctioned events. For example: If a horse has shown a high level of success at out of province competitions they should also be listed, but will not be considered if its at home success is only slightly above average.

8) Each horse nominated must have a letter of accomplishments and the reason that the nominee feels this makes the horse "outstanding in its time". If there is any doubt as to the accuracy of the facts presented in the minds of any Board member, these must be checked out prior to the decision.
