Qualifications
In addition to points, you can now qualify for Regionals by obtaining a first or second place at an AHA Recognized local A, B or C rated show.

Remember, when qualifying for an Amateur (AT) or Amateur Owner (AO) class, you cannot use points and/or a first or second place obtained by a Professional. To compete in an AT class, an Amateur must have obtained the qualifications and in an AO class, the Amateur Owner must have obtained the qualifications. You may use AT and AO qualifications for an Open class.

There have been changes for 2010 in the number of qualification points required for Junior Horse classes (all disciplines) and the Country English pleasure classes for Arabians and Half-Arabians/Anglo-Arabians. All these classes will require two points to qualify for the Regional level.

Did you know that qualifications can be earned at open shows? Dressage, working hunter, hunter hack, jumper, cutting, working cow horse, reining, reined cow horse, eventing/trails, combined driving, carriage pleasure driving and driven dressage results can qualify you for regional and national shows. Enrollment is required and the form can be found by clicking here or you can call (303) 696-4500 #4 to speak to a representative.


Recipes For Success Online!
The Competition Advisory Committee has worked on bringing back the "Recipes for Success." The information contained online gives examples of programs, step-by-step instructions and suggestions to create your own successful events. This is an easy to use format giving the basics at the beginning of each chapter and a more detailed breakdown towards the end of the chapter. Plenty of examples are contained in these pages in addition to a list of resources and check lists. Please click here to view.
