Due to the low number of horse shows this summer and financial concerns, the Board of Directors will not be able to make monetary awards along with the high point awards this year. The association's limited funding is being reserved to support horse shows for the 2014 show season as many of our shows canceled or declined substantially this year. We will be awarding 4 places in the high point categories and encourage all members to join us to celebrate our association and our horse. The pleasure horse categories have been revised to reflect the new class opportunities and a Youth Country Pleasure High Point Award has been added.
