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 mem-
bership and more entries.
ALL DAY PLEASURE DIVISION SURVEY
Following up to the Member Forum discussion session at the 2017 annual meeting, the
NWHA Board of Directors is interested in your feedback on the All Day Pleasure Divi-
sion. We have received a number of comments and requests regarding All Day Pleasure,
and before making any changes or alterations, it is important to get membership feedback.
The survey link provided was created to gather your feedback specifically on the All Day
Pleasure division. Please provide as much detailed input as possible. Let your voice be
heard!
As an organization, we believe we have an opportunity to expand, develop and grow
overall. As a result, the NWHA as a whole works diligently to allow broader participation
across our organization.
NWHA encourages each of our members to share their thoughts and comments.
Please share your input, the survey can be accessed via the nwha website, click the red but-

Pleasure Racking Division ~ 2017 High Point Program ~ 2017 Events
New for 2017 - the addition of the pleasure racking division will provide a venue for a
broader spectrum of racking horses to participate in our NWHA Racking Divisions. The
high point program has gone through modifications to be more inclusive across divi-
sions, allowing points from more classes to count and NO enrollment fee or nominations
required, only a valid membership. Lastly, 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.
For further description and outlined rules, please see the updated rule book available by

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.
New for the 2017:
• 2 Gait and 3 Gait Optional Tack categories in all divisions.
• Spotted Saddle Horse now has an Open Shod category (replaced the LS/TP combina-
tion)
• Pleasure Racking added to the Racking Horse Division
• Versatility division updated categories now have untimed events and speed events.
This change allows previously excluded game classes to now be included in the points
while also providing an over-all category for barrels, poles and other timed speed class-
es that have grown in popularity.
• For more details on the updated NWHA High Point program, visit the High Point tab
on the nwha website or click here. Owner's must join no later than the 2017 National
Championship horse show.
