To insure accurate recording of points, the name used must be consistent.
Registered Stable or Farm Name: Entries may be made in the name of a stable or farm provided such stable or farm name is registered with the Horse Show Division. All applications for registration must be signed by the bona fide owner(s). The fee for each registration shall be $10.00 unless the name has already been registered with USEF, then there will be no fee, but the USEF registration number, farm or stable name, and owners name shall be submitted to the Horse Show Division. The use of a registered name by any person other than the registered owner is prohibited and constitutes a violation of the rules.

The Canter/WSH Website shall carry a listing of classes that have qualified.
If any age group Equitation or Pleasure class does not fill, it may be combined, for the current year only.

All classes must have a minimum of three (3) participants for points to count.

No pleasure classes at a show may be combined that do not have the same class specifications. They may not be combined if the end result means more than one set of points toward an end of the year award would be the result.
All scores are kept by the Horse Show Division and are based solely on the placings given on the Official Class Sheet-Result Forms or computer printouts submitted by recognized shows. The resulting tally shall determine final placings for High Score Awards.
The Horse Show Division will be responsible for accurately computing scores based on the information furnished to it by the proper authorities of each recognized show.

EACH EXHIBITOR IS ENCOURAGED TO KEEP AN ACCOUNTING OF THEIR POINTS IF THEY WANT THEM VERIFIED.
