2 Shows with both

and recognizes over 150 classes/divisions for year-end awards !

       

Show Circuit Basics:

              In "horse-judged" classes, horse must be owned by an MHA member.

              In equitation & showmanship/grooming, the rider/handler must be an MHA member.

              If you show under a farm name as owner, it must be registered with MHA.
              NEW RULE: To qualify for year-end honors, earn points in your class/division at three (3) different shows
                                 NOTE:  Double judged shows count as TWO shows.
              If your class/division is commonly not held three times, MHA encourages you to contact Show Managers to lobby for inclusion of your class.  Sponsoring (or getting someone to sponsor the class) helps also.
             The point system is based on the RATING of the show AND the NUMBER in the class.
