Show Circuit Basics:

              In "horse-judged" classes, horse must be owned by an MHA member.   2013 Application

              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 with at least one owner a current member.
              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: i.e. a ribbon from each judge counts as a show.
      IMPORTANT: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.
