Program Rules:
1). All entries must be owned, trained and shown by currently active SHHA members. These classes are restricted to ponies trained in the SHHA Region which includes: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The Regional Champion pony must be trained by a member of the listed states. Owners may live outside the region and MUST also be members. Memberships must be current before the start of the show.
2). There is no separate nomination fee.
3). The designated Horse Show is the Blue Ridge Classic Horse Show in Asheville, NC.
4). The Regional Champion will be the highest placing nominated pony in their respective Championship classes and will be afforded a separate Victory Pass, ribbon and garland in honor of their Regional Championship status. Should the Regional Champion also be the Championship class winner, a separate victory pass will be unnecessary, but the ribbon, trophy and monies will still be awarded to that entry.
5). All regular entry, stall and other fees are due to the horse show.
6). All of the show's requirements for showing in each championship must observed to be eligible for the SHHA Regional Champion Ribbon.
7). All nominated ponies must be registered with the AHHS.
8). While there will be only be one Championship Ribbon, the Regional Championship program will pay additional monies to the Top 3 SHHA nominated ponies in each class regardless of the class placing.
