Thank you FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We couldn’t do it without you! 2026

2026 AHA CORPORATE SPONSORS

APAHA PREAMBLE

We, as Professional and Amateur Horsemen of the Arabian Horse Association, pledge to assume a positive role as leaders in the Arabian horse community. While achieving the goals of promoting, showing, and caring for the horse, we shall protect the health, image, and welfare of the breed.

Therefore, we set forth the following standards:

HORSEMEN’S STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

We shall comply with and actively encourage all Professional and Amateur Horsemen to adhere to all rules and regulations of AHA, USEF, CAHR, and EC.

We shall instill confidence, trust, and mutual respect in our clients, fellow exhibitors, and the public by a commitment to ethical practice and avoidance of any action conducive to discrediting the Arabian horse, AHA, or our fellow horsemen.

We shall ensure that the welfare of the Arabian horse is paramount and that every Arabian horse be treated humanely and with dignity, respect, and compassion.

As Horsemen we agree that it is our obligation, not only to the horse, but to each other, to have a reciprocal relationship wherein we are compelled to comment to our peers on their actions as well as be receptive of comments on our actions, if those actions might be perceived or interpreted as abusive or inappropriate.

There should be no malicious force during training. Good horsemanship teaches a horse to respond to the aids with confidence. Abusive practices are those that inflict injury or result in intimidation and fear. This may include jerking, spurring, or whipping when employed in a manner that increases a horse’s fear, confusion, or distress.

While most types of tack and training methods are not themselves abusive, we understand that anything used wrongly, overused, or over done can prove to be abusive or perceived to be abusive by onlookers.

The duration of training sessions should take into account climate conditions, intensity of work, footing and the condition of each horse to ensure there is no undue stress.

We shall conduct all business affairs with integrity, sincerity, and accuracy in an open and forthright manner.

We shall act with integrity in financial dealings with clients, professionals, and the public. We shall employ a policy of full disclosure to our horse’s owners, as well as potential buyers, about all facts and knowledge regarding a horse they own or are considering purchasing. Horsemen will never perform, condone, or allow surgical alteration or procedure on an Arabian horse unless professionally prescribed by a licensed veterinarian, and then, only for the survival or threatened health of an Arabian or Half-Arabian horse. This includes the altering of the natural carriage of the tail, which is one of our breed standards and characteristics.

Horsemen will not administer to any horse engaged in competition drugs or medications that give an unfair competitive advantage or serve no required therapeutic purpose.

GR 4 AMATEUR OWNER

Please refer to USEF GR 142 (Owner Classes) and GR 123 (Family)

An individual’s age on December 1 will be maintained throughout the entire competition year. Leased horses are not eligible. (Contracts of Sale Bill of Sale will not be accepted in Owner Classes.)

It is unethical to transfer, assist, or facilitate the transfer of a horse with the intent to circumvent the purpose of the rules regarding ownership of horses

shown in the amateur owner and/or junior owner classes. It is also unethical for any AHA member to not provide information relating to the transfer in question that is requested by the Probable Cause Panel or the Ethical Practice Review Board requests.

In determining whether the transfer was unethical, the EPRB may consider, among others, the following:

• The horse returned to the previous owner’s name within a year of the original transfer.

• The horse is being transferred at less than fair market value (the owner will provide proof of the sales amount).

• The prize money went to a person other than the owner or family member.

• The owner or family member did not pay the expenses relating to the upkeep and showing of the horse.

NON-RELATED CO-OWNER

Please refer to USEF AR 110.4.e for complete rules.

Two distinct individuals who are not related may co-owner a horse and show in Owner classes except that no family member of a professional may enter into this relationship.

The ownership must be “and” NOT “or”.

Both distinct non-family owners must be individuals, no Farm or Corporation co-owned horses are eligible.

Both distinct non-family owners must be members of the USEF or Equestrian Canada and hold valid amateur cards or be juniors or a combination of amateur and junior.

This does not extend to the family of these distinct non-family owners.

A horse that is co-owned by two distinct non-family members cannot be shown in a Maturity and Jackpot classes at any AHA National Championship.

An individual member may enter into only two distinct co-owner relationships and compete with these arrangements in Junior Owner and Amateur Owner classes at USEF/EC approved shows.

All awards not claimed by the close of the show will be forfeited with no exceptions. No awards will be mailed. If you are not at the show, please make arrangements for someone to pick up you awards. Refer to GR 17 for Duplicate trophies.

AWARDS CEREMONY

The number of people other than authorized personnel for award photographs for the Championship and Reserve Championship awards at all the National Shows will be determined by each National Show Commission.

AWARDS/SPECIAL

The National Show Commissions will determine if individual prizes and awards will be presented at the National Shows. AHA is not liable for payment of donated prize money paid by an outside organization. Exhibitors are instructed to contact the individual donors to complete any necessary paperwork. Sponsored/Special awards are to be considered separate from the Arabian Horse Association’s prize list for a national event. Therefore, Arabian and Half-Arabian Nationals and the Arabian Horse Association are not liable for providing or presenting any award (printed or otherwise) if a sponsor cancels or is unable to provide the agreed upon award.

A class is composed of all its sections, including Preliminary (I, II, III), Eliminations (A, B, C), Semi-Finals/ Finals (SF/F), Semi-Finals -1st Go (SF), and Finals2nd/last Go (FNL). Working Hunter Championships are based on points earned from 3 classes (2 over fence classes and 1 under saddle class). Elimination or disqualification from any class does not eliminate a place in the Championship.

Many National classes are divided into sections depending on the number of entries. Please check with the Show Office regarding if a class has sections and which section you have been assigned. If you miss YOUR SECTION, you have missed YOUR CLASS and will not be allowed to advance further. This policy will be strictly enforced.

1. ADDING CLASSES

Additional class entries for pre entered horses cannot be done online and must be submitted on the Official Entry Form for each show. Please check the box indicating this is an added class for a horse already entered.

2. CANCELLATION OF CLASSES

The AHA Convention has established a minimum of three (3) entries for all National classes. The Show Commissions may cancel any class with fewer than three entries.

3. CLASS CALLS

a. The two-minute limit for gate closing will be strictly enforced. The gate will close two minutes after the first horse enters the ring or in cases with large classes taking more than two minutes, after the entry of the final horse in a continuous string of horses.

b. Due to unforeseeable problems with any mechanical device, the public address system and paddock calls over that system must be considered a courtesy. The exhibitor is responsible for ensuring that his/her horse is at the gate at the prescribed time. Every effort will be made to maintain a working public address system to carry class calls; however, no protest will be upheld, nor will any section be changed based on public address malfunction alone.

4. CLASS PROCEDURES

a. Riders in Reining, Trail, Working Cow, Cutting, Dressage, Working Hunter, Jumper, Sport Horse In-Hand, Ranch Riding, and Obstacle Driving classes may show more than one horse in the class.

b. In all other classes including Performance Halter, a horse may be shown in a class (including sections) by only one rider and only one horse per rider.

5. CLASS SCRATCHES & NO SHOWS

PLEASE refer to the fee chart for each show for late scratch fees.

NO SCRATCHES WILL BE ACCEPTED BY PHONE.

PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF YOUR FELLOW EXHIBITORS AND SCRATCH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Scratching as early as possible enables the show commission to make a timely decision on cancelling sections. Scratches must be recorded with the Show Secretary to be considered official and be in the show office by;

8 PM > the night prior for Morning classes

11 AM > for Afternoon classes

4 PM > for Evening classes

Changes can be made on the AHA app, website or in person at the show office. Exhibitors who scratch at the gate MUST still submit an official form. Scratches not filed by end of the session the class was held will result failure to scratch fee or the no show fee. Refer to the Fee Chart for each show.

6. CLASS SECTIONS

If you have multiple classes on the same day, it is strongly advised to look closely at the schedule and request a section that will work best for your situation. Many sections have been split up in order to aid in conflicts.

a. SECTION, GO FORWARD & DRAW REQUESTS

Exhibitors with possible ring conflicts, when doing their entries online or using the Official Entry Form, should select their desired section.

Only one section at a time can be selected online or on your entry form.

Once at the show, you can request sections for both prelims (I, II, III) and Eliminations (A/B) via the AHA app, website, or in person at the show office.

Sections must be requested up to NOON two days before the section runs. For example, if sections are to run on Wednesday, a request may be submitted up to noon on Monday. Sections will be posted the day before the sectioned classes.

If a section is not specified, random entry selection will be used for assigning sections.

If you miss YOUR SECTION, you have missed YOUR CLASS and will not be allowed to advance further. This policy will be strictly enforced.

b. ONCE

A CLASS HAS BEEN SECTIONED

OR DRAW POSTED Requests for section or working order changes must be handled in the show office as follows:

i. If an exhibitor has a conflict between scheduled classes, the exhibitor must request the change in section or working order at least two (2) sessions before the earliest class. This change must be requested on the official Section Change Form and be filed with the Show Secretary in the Show Office.

ii. Show Management reviews of all requests for changes and their rulings are final. Exhibitors must return to the Show Office to determine if their change request has been granted and must sign the request form indicating they know the action taken relative to their request.

iii. If Show Management creates a conflict with an exhibitor’s scheduled class due to a time change or other adjustment, a section or work order assignment may be changed by Show Management to resolve the conflict. In such a case, the Show Office will try to notify the exhibitor involved of the section/ work order change.

7. CLASS/HORSE SUBSTITUTIONS

Substitutions will follow USEF/EC rules. If the owner wishes to use another horse to replace the deceased, sold, or injured horse, substitutions may be made after the announced date of the closing of entries and will be handled as follows:

a. The Office and the Scoring fee must be paid for the substitute horse. All other fees are transferable.

b. A copy of the veterinary letter and/or a copy of the notification of death or sale (to the appropriate registry) regarding the death or sale of the horse must be provided with the substitution horse’s entry. For an injury, the Vet certificate should give a detailed description of the injury.

c. The classes must be the same type and rider age breaks or level.

d. Additional classes may be entered for which the new horse is qualified. Post-entry rules apply.

8. POST ENTRIES

9. RIDER/HANDLER/EQUITATION HORSE CHANGES

Please make sure the correct rider is listed and announced for your classes.

Any changes to the entered initial rider, driver, handler, or equitation horse must be recorded with the Show Secretary by:

8 PM > the night prior for Morning classes

11 AM > for Afternoon classes

4 PM > for Evening classes

Changes can be made on the AHA app, on the website, or in person at the show office. Changes after the deadline may result in a late change fee. Refer to the Fee Chart for each show.

Once a class section has run, rider/driver/handler changes for advancing sections are not allowed except for a medical emergency per USEF rules.

For Equitation classes, riders must use the same horse throughout all phases of the competition unless the show veterinarian certifies that the horse used at the beginning is unsound and that the required forms are filed at the Horse Show Office.

10. REFUNDS

All refunds are done after the show unless otherwise requested.

Entries paid with a Credit card will be refunded to the Credit Card used for that entry. Entries paid by check will be refunded by check to the person who cut the check.

CANCELATIONS Cancelations are made upon receipt of a suitable Veterinarian/Doctors certificate on their official letterhead attesting to illness or injury, along with a letter from the exhibitor explaining the circumstances. If an injured horse is enrolled into the Performance Futurity/Maturity/ Derby Program, submit the vet statement to info. comp@arabianhores.org as well as nationalevents@arabianhorses.org.

Riders not eligible for the level entered (i.e., not a select rider), horses entered in classes where USEF or AHA prohibits cross-entry, or riders entered in the same class multiple times on different horses will not be refunded.

GR 9 CLASS CONFLICTS & GATE HOLDS RING CONFLICT PROCEDURE

Request for Gate Hold MUST be submitted at least 12 hours or 2 sessions prior OR they MAY not be considered.

Definition: A class conflict shall be defined as an exhibitor who has a class in which they have to exhibit a horse in another arena simultaneously.

It may also be defined as a horse with two classes scheduled simultaneously in different arenas.

GATE HOLDS A Gate hold for back-to-back classes in the same ring, or if an exhibitor has a conflict with classes between different rings in the same session, they can request a gate hold at the show office.

If there is a conflict that involves an order of go, if the go order has been posted, a request for a change of go order can be made with the approval of the commissioner and/or steward or a gate hold for the conflicting ring class can be submitted.

All requests MUST be submitted in writing to the show office with conflict details. A commissioner will review the request. The exhibitor requesting the hold must return to the show office to check if the request was granted.

GR 11 DISCIPLINE

The management reserves the right to remove any horse, owner, lessee, trainer, groom, rider, driver, handler, or family member of the person participating in the show from the show grounds without being liable for compensation of damages.

Any action(s) against a horse that is deemed excessive by a Judge, Steward, or Show Veterinarian in the show ring or anywhere on the competition grounds may be punished by official warning, elimination, or other sanctions that may be deemed appropriate by the Commissions or the Judges & Stewards Commissioner. Such action(s) could include, but are not limited to, excessive use of whips, spurs, or bamboo poles.

All AHA Official Forms for each show under Exhibitor Information can be found on the AHA website. Exhibitors are advised to use an expedited, traceable mail service when sending entries to ensure their entries are received.

AHA will accept faxed/emailed entries with a valid credit card. However, we strongly discourage faxed entries.Photos of an entry form will not be accepted. Photos and Faxed Copies are often illegible.

DO NOT SUBMIT AN ENTRY BY MORE THAN ONE METHOD OR CREDIT CARDS MAY BE CHARGED MULTIPLE TIMES.

All entries made by the closing date will be acknowledged by email to the person signing as trainer unless otherwise noted on the entry form or via the online entry system. Due to the large volume of entries, your entry cannot be verified by phone or email. If the show acknowledgment is not received two weeks before the first day of the show, please get in touch with AHA immediately.

METERED MAIL

Will only be accepted with an official postmark from the country of origin that indicates the location and date the Postal Service assumed custody of a mail piece, which cancels affixed postage.

NEW 2026 POSTAL INFORMATION

Impact on Postmarking Timing: The date displayed on a machine-applied postmark represents the “date of the first automated processing operation” performed at a processing facility, rather than the date the mail was dropped off.

Ensuring a Postmark on the Date of Delivery :

To assure a postmark is applied on the same day a document is delivered to the USPS, individuals must utilize specific retail services. The final rule outlines the following methods:

• Request a Manual Postmark: Customers may present a mail piece at a retail counter and request a “manual (local) postmark”. This postmark is applied at the time of acceptance, so the date aligns with the date the USPS took possession.

• Postage Validation Imprint (PVI): When a customer pays for postage at a retail counter, the PVI label applied by the employee also indicates the date of acceptance.

• Certificates of Mailing: Customers may purchase a Certificate of Mailing, or use Registered or Certified Mail, to obtain a receipt that serves as evidence of the date the item was presented for mailing

FULL PAYMENT Please do not split any charges for an entry between exhibitors, horses or stables. Doing so will delay the processing of your entries.

All entries must be paid in full when submitted, and payments are processed upon receipt. The entry will be subject to the post-entry fee if payment is not received by the closing date. Fees are in U.S. funds.

Checks and credit cards covering multiple entries need to be accompanied by a detailed description of how the money is to be applied. Please list each horse and the total fees for each horse.

Canadian/International exhibitors must draw checks from a U.S. funds account or preprinted with “U.S. Funds”. Writing “Payable in U.S. Funds” on the check is NOT acceptable.

Credit cards will be charged only for the entry total amount listed in the entry blank. If you leave the Total amount blank, your card will be charged the amount that AHA totals your entry for.

NOTE: Issuing a “bad check” is a criminal offense. Payment made with a returned instrument will be handled under the current AHA Handbook SUS 101.

Any open checks sent with entries will be made out for the amount of the entry and deposited. NO Post-Dated checks will be accepted.

Due to AHA policy, payment information in any format via email or attachment is not advised. To ensure the secure delivery of private information, please FAX (303) 696-4599 all payment information with detailed information on what show and horse(s) it is for.

1. ENTRY REFUSAL

The Show Management reserves the right to refuse, accept conditionally, or cancel any exhibitor’s entries, as stated in the current USEF Rule Book and the current AHA Handbook.

Minors who do not have a valid driver’s license which allows them to operate a motorized vehicle in the state in which they reside will not be permitted to operate a motorized vehicle of any kind, including, but not limited to, golf carts, motorcycles, scooters, or farm utility vehicles, on the competition grounds of licensed competitions. Minors who have a valid temporary license may operate the above-described motorized vehicles if they are accompanied by an adult with a valid driver’s license. The parent/legal guardian or individual who signs the entry blank as a parent or guardian of a minor operating a motorized vehicle in violation of this rule is solely responsible for any damages, claims, losses, or actions resulting

from that operation. Violations of this rule will be cause for penalties against those responsible for the child committing the offense. Wheelchairs and other mobility assistance devices for individuals with disabilities are exempt from this rule.

The unsafe use of personal electronic transport devices, as determined by the competition officials and management in their sole discretion, that does not require a driver’s license to operate, including but not limited to Segways, hoverboards, and singlewheeled scooters, is prohibited on competition grounds. Operating such devices in areas where people gather may be deemed “unsafe use” if there is a risk of harm to others. If the operator of the device is a minor, the parent/legal guardian or individual who signs the entry blank as a parent or guardian of a minor operating the device in violation of this rule is accountable and may be subject to penalties. Wheelchairs and other mobility assistance devices for individuals with disabilities are exempt from this rule.

The show security, for the duration of the show, will impound any motorized vehicle that is operated in an unsafe or hazardous manner or parked in a restricted area.

Please drive golf carts responsibly, horses have the right of away.

Refer to Violations GR 48

GR 31 NON-COMPETING HORSE

Non-competing horses must;

1. Be entered by a current AHA Member.

2. The trainer must be a current USEF Member with current Safe Sport.

3. Pay for a stall (per availability), an Office fee, and a $100 fee per horse. Please check with each show for the total fee.

4. Fill out the official entry form and check the box at the top of the entry form for “Non-Competing.”

5. Sign the back of the entry form in all mandatory places.

6. Send Full payment with the completed entry form.

7. Be listed on Stabling Request form.

Non-competing horse that ultimately enters the show will be considered a Post Entry and must be submitted by the final closing date.

There will be a $750.00 fine per horse for not filing an official entry form with the show office.

GR 32 PATRONSHIPS

National shows have patron programs with various benefits, including preferred stalling, class sponsorship, seating, and patron lounge benefits.

Patron seniority is based on the number of consecutive years a barn/trainer/individual has been Nationals Patron for that show. Stalling assignments will be done based on Patron’s seniority. Any year a Patronship is missed will result in the Patron losing their seniority. To maintain seniority, Patrons must be current every year. The National Show Commission reserves the right to review special case requests regarding seniority, and their decision will be final. Each special case will be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances.

See each National Show’s Patron sponsorship, available on the AHA website, for specific benefits, cost information, and deadlines. Patronship fees are listed on the Patron form for each show. They should be mailed separately from the Official Entry Form and must be paid in full by the close of entries to ensure priority stalling.

Any requests to change the status of a Patronship, including cancellations, MUST be emailed to NationalEvents@ArabianHorses.org

All patrons who elect to use a golf cart will be held responsible for their cart. Should their cart be damaged or stolen, the patron must replace or repair it directly through the chosen golf cart vendor.

The submission of a signed Patron form constitutes an agreement by the signing party for a payment for Patronship after the entry closing date. Any canceled patronship is refundable by 50% if paid in full. If only a minimum payment was made and patronship is not paid in full by the date stated on the form, no money will be refunded. Before the entry closing date, patron fees may be refunded minus the nonrefundable deposit. After the entry closing date, patronships may still be available. Please get in touch with AHA National Events Sales for more information.

PATRONSHIP STABLING/RULES

All patrons are subject to the current stabling rules. Every effort will be made to stable non-patron groups together that have accurately filled out their stabling request form.

1. Patron Stalling is assigned prior to any non-Patrons.

a. Priority for Patron stalling assignments will be based on the number of continuous years as a Patron, the prior year’s stalling location, and the number of stalls needed.

b. If a Patron wishes to move to another Patron barn, they will be placed on a waiting list for that barn.

c. All patrons must abide by all current stabling rules.

d. If an individual Patron/Trainer accepts employment, associates with, or moves their clients into a Farm’s Patronship, the individual’s personal Patronship seniority will be forfeited unless they continue to pay their individual annual Patronship fees personally.

If the departing trainer wishes to re-establish their own Patron stabling priority, they must purchase an independent Patronship. Their seniority will begin at Year 1, and they will be subject to the standard waiting list procedures (per Rule 1.c). (BOD 6/2026)

2. The entry form (or electronic entry) must be signed by the trainer listed on the Patronship in order for the exhibitor to be stabled with said Patron. A stabling form for each National Show will be used that lists horse, owner and trainer. The form should include a statement to refer to Patrons stabling rules for priority stabling procedures in the omnibus.

3. The transferring of a Patronship to a nonimmediate family member will not be allowed.

a. A Patron who has maintained a Patronship seniority that is retiring may elect to pass their patronship on to an immediate family member.

b. The family member receiving the seniority will be required to maintain the Patronship payments annually. Additionally, in order to keep the original stabling area, the family member may not exceed the number of stalls required by the original Patron.

c. To confirm the transfer of a patronship, an email shall be sent to the show commission for approval.

d. If a farm associated with a Patronship is being retired, the trainer has the right to continue the Patronship and maintain the seniority provided Patronship payments have been maintained annually.

4. Patronships are considered as one (1) Farm or one (1) person.

a. An individual may hold an additional Patronship within a Patron’s Barn, but those additional Patronships have no effect on the “primary” Patron’s Barn priority.

b. That other individual’s Patronship likewise does not affect another Patron’s Barn they may move to; their Patron priority is with themselves.

c. Only the named Farm/Person on the Patronship is allowed to hang drapes or signage that identify only that Patron’s name.

5. 80% of the stalls must be in the Patron Trainer’s/ Amateur’s/ Farm’s barn (for 49 stalls and under). For those with 50 stalls or over, 90% of the stalls must be in the Patron Trainer’s/ Amateur’s/Farm’s barn, for example if the Patron on record has 30 stalls on their stabling report 24 of those stalls must be in the Patron Trainer’s/Amateur’s/Farm’s barn and only 6 stalls may be in another Trainer’s/Amateur’s/ barn’s Barn.

6. If that 80% or 90% is violated, for example, if the Patron on record has 30 stalls on their stabling report and only 20 of those stalls are in the Patron Trainer’s/Amateur’s/Farm’s barn and the other 110 are in another Trainer’s/ Amateur’s/Farms barn, then only 4 of those stalls well be allowed to be stabled with the Patron on record. The other 6 stalls will be stalled wherever the Barn Manager can fit them.

7. Barns with over 100 stalls may not be stalled together. Every attempt will be made to keep stalls as close in proximity as feasibly possible.

8. For Patrons that exceed their average number of stalls (over the last 5 years), the overflow may be in another location.

9. If necessary, a Show Commission and/or a Barn Manager can limit the number of tack stalls.

GR 33 PHOTOGRAPHS

Anyone who attends any national show automatically grants AHA permission to publish photos taken by AHA photographers and/or staff in which they and/or their horses appear. No written release is required for AHA to publish these photos for its promotional purposes.

GR 34 PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY

The Arabian Horse Association forbids any pictures taken for the use of paid commercial distribution through websites, social media, or other outlets. Professional Photographers or videographers, as defined by individuals who have or will have images for sale, are not permitted to photograph or video without written permission from the Arabian Horse Association. No photographers other than the official photographer may take pictures in the ring or from the rail. Professional photography equipment, cameras with lenses over 4 inches, will not be permitted except for credentialed media and those holding press passes (to take pictures outside the ring only).

Media credentials may be issued to credentialed journalists, photographers and videographers from recognized non-equine industry magazines, newspapers, and publications. Those issued media credentials must sign an agreement stating no photographs or videos taken will be sold. Credentials will only be issued to media for the purpose of news gathering and dissemination only.

Equine Industry press passes will be issued to photographers for the price stated in the media policy. However, these press passes will allow photographers to shoot on grounds, not in any show arenas. Press passes can be purchased in the commercial exhibitor office. Violation of the policy will result in removal from the showgrounds. Commercial photographers violating this policy will also be charged a $1,000 fee. This policy extends to violations found post-show through websites, social media, and other outlets.

Entry fees will be forfeited in case of time conflicts caused by two rings running simultaneously that can’t be resolved.

It is the policy of the Nationals Show Commissions not to make schedule changes within 24 hours of a class unless there are extenuating circumstances. Sections may be added or canceled if entries warrant.

The schedules printed in this prize list are TENTATIVE and based on entry projections for each class and the number of sections required.

Please note: No classes will be moved to an earlier day in the schedule.

Exceptions:

1. Dressage classes may move to a different day, depending on entry numbers.

2. Herd classes may not run in the order listed. Once entries are received, the order of classes may change so herd changes can be set.

4. If Sections listed in the tentative schedule are canceled, the SF/F may be moved to run where the sections were scheduled for that class.

5. Sport Horse in Hand classes at Sport Horse Nationals may not run in the order listed for that day/session. Once entries are received, the order of classes may change depending on class counts.

PROGRAM

REMEMBER!

There are several steps in order to participate in the Performance Futurity/Maturity/Derby classes at U.S. Nationals (Horse must be registered in order to be enrolled into the program.):

1. Enroll into the Performance Futurity/ Maturity/Derby Program.

2. Enter into the corresponding Performance Futurity/Maturity/Derby class held at U.S. Nationals.

3. All Half-Arabians and Anglo-Arabians with a purebred Arabian parent that are participating in the HA/AA Futurity/Maturity/Derby Classes must have parentage DNA verified to the purebred Arabian parent and must be on file at the AHA office before the horse will be eligible to compete.

Owners wishing to compete must enroll into the program either by making payments or one lump sum.

If enrollment is made in payments, the due dates are:

• June 1 st

• July 1 st

• August 1 st

Late fees apply for any missed due dates.

Enrollment may also be submitted after the deadline all the way up to the final close of U.S. National Entries (Late fees will apply.)

Class intent must be declared at the time of enrollment into the program (Example: I intend to compete in the Western Pleasure Maturity AAOTR).

If you determine at a later date that your horse is better suited to another discipline, you may change the class intent with a written request and a class change fee. (Example: I enrolled in Western but my horse is better suited for Hunter). A request to change classes will be allowed up until October 1st.

In order to be eligible to compete in these classes, the horse must be enrolled in both the Performance Futurity/Maturity/Derby Program AND entered into the corresponding U.S. National Class. If the horse is not entered into the Performance Futurity/Maturity/ Derby Program or in the U.S. National Show by entry close, applicable late fees will be assessed.

Note: Horses cannot be shown under the two distinct non-family co-owner rule in Performance Maturity AAO Classes. See USEF AR110.

Exhibitors with possible ring conflicts should identify section requests on the Official Entry Form. At the show, sections can be requested via the AHA App, website, or in person. All requests MUST be submitted BY NOON the day before the sections are to be posted. Sections will be posted one day prior to the scheduled class.

If you have multiple classes on the same day, it is strongly advised to look closely at the schedule and request a section that works best for your situation. Many sections have been split up to help with conflicts.

Class sections added to the schedule will be based on the number of entries received by the final close of entries on Monday, October 19, at 5 PM CT. Each day at noon, the number of entries for the following day’s sectioned classes will be evaluated to determine whether they are warranted. If sections are not justified, they will be canceled, and this information will be announced by 5 PM. Please note that

any scratches submitted after the noon deadline will NOT be considered when deciding on section cancellations.

Notifications regarding canceled sections will be posted on the AHA App, announced publicly, and displayed on the results boards for the class.

If you know you will not be showing, please be considerate of your fellow exhibitors and scratch before the cutoff time for cancellations.
