General
Information
The Western Wisconsin Horse Show Association was formed in 1994 to not only be a horse show organization, but to be a community of horse enthusiasts. Since it's formation it has seen steady membership growth from local and regional clubs, as well as a great turnout for our year-end banquet in November.
How to Become a WWHSA member club?
Membership is open to all saddle clubs or organizations who put on horse shows, want to put on a horse show, or want their members to be able to ride for points in the WWHSA show circuit. Individuals who wish to compete at WWHSA shows and ride for points must join one of the member saddle clubs listed under Member Clubs on the website or in the handbook.
An annual fee is payable to WWHSA by the member club or organization on or before the February meeting date.
What benefits are available with WWHSA membership?
Club members are eligible for points and year end awards in Hunter, Pleasure, Halter, Games, and Dressage. (Individual members must also pay a nominal fee for points administration, see rules of the specific discipline for complete information.) Print rider registration form here
Club shows can be recognized by WWHSA, and show date is protected for consecutive years as a member club in good standing (no other show of the same discipline may be held on the same date).
One page for club's show bill will be printed in the WWHSA annual handbook. Additional pages for multiple shows are available at an extra fee per page.
Club information (up to one full page, as provided by the club) will be printed in the WWHSA annual handbook.
Standardized rules for all WWHSA approved shows.
Other advertising is available about your club's riding activities and/or training clinics in the WWHSA annual handbook.
Responsibilities of WWHSA Members
Preliminary show bills for the next show season are due at the November meeting: preference is given to existing members.
Completed show bills must be submitted on or before January 15th for proofreading. Camera ready show bills are due at the February meeting.
Late show bills will be assessed a $25 late fee. If late fee is not received, show bill will not be published. NO show bills will be accepted after February 28th.
If a show bill is not received before the February 28th deadline, that show will not be sanctioned by WWHSA. The membership fee will not be refunded to the club, to allow club members to continue to ride for points at other WWHSA shows.
Provide membership lists to the designated points keepers by April 1st.
Submit results of your club's show to the appropriate WWHSA points keeper (as designated in the handbook) within the three week deadline. Failure will result in a late fee along with the show points, and the potential for other sanctions.
Individual riders wanting to ride for points must fill out rider registration form accurately and completely and return by the appointed date with appropriate fees. Please note that failure to use the name(s) you have registered your horse(s) under at all shows could result in points being lost. Do not assume that the show organizers or points keepers (who may not even be attending the show) will know that "Goofy" was registered as "Prime Prizewinner". (Also be sure that anyone that may be registering at shows for you, such as parents for their children know what the appropriate name is.)

Rules and Handbook
A copy of the rules and bylaws are included in each handbook, which also includes the forms and showbills for the year. 2008 handbook price is $6. Handbooks for the year should be available late March or early April.
Awards
In addition to the awards given at each show, WWHSA has year end awards based on points earned by individuals signed up for points. These are given out at the Awards banquet, invitations specifically sent to those receiving awards. Anyone may attend, there is a fee for the dinner and awards presentations and auction, a smaller fee for just the awards and auction. Items may be donated to the auction and awards sponsored. Sponsors are recognized in the following year's handbook.
