2017 HIGH POINT PROGRAM
Beginning in 2017, NWHA has eliminated the need to pay and enroll in the
annual high point program. Simply join or renew your membership and start
earning points. It's that simple.
Pleasure Racking Division ~ 2017 High Point Program ~ 2017 Events
New for 2017 - the addition of the pleasure racking division will provide a ven-
ue for a broader spectrum of racking horses to participate in our NWHA Rack-
ing Divisions. The high point program has gone through modifications to be
more inclusive across divisions, allowing points from more classes to count and
NO enrollment fee or nominations required, only a valid membership. Last-
ly, in an effort to increase awareness of current events, we would like to direct
members to the NWHA calendar on our website and the NWHA Facebook
events page. All events and NWHA happenings are displayed in both areas
with specific details.
PLEASURE RACKING DIVISION
New for 2017, NWHA has added pleasure racking into our Racking Divisions!
This new division will accommodate the increased demands for the pleasure
racking horse in the show ring, align NWHA with current racking industry
norms and encourage new membership and more entries.
