NEWS

The American Saddlebred Horse and Breeders Association National Select Series presented by State Line Tack was launched in 2020 to encourage more people to show American Saddlebreds and strengthen the show horse market by providing classes where horses of a relative level can compete against one another and be marketed as such. Horses will be able to compete in Select Series classes or similarly classified classes that qualify for ASHBA National Select Series Regional Championships across the country.

As this program has continued to grow since its inception last year, ASHBA has received valuable feedback and questions from competition organizers and members and has used this information to create new and improved resources for the program. These new program information packets, forms, and declared horse page are just the first step in providing support and incentive in offering this program at the breed shows.

The primary updates members will find in the new material are:

• Elimination of the collection of declaration forms for horse shows offering separate ASHBA National Select Series Classes.
• Increased clarifications around qualifying classes and that these Select Series classes are not recorded to count towards WCHS or any National Final qualifying.
• Online and Fillable PDF Horse Show Applications and Horse Declaration Forms.
• Updated Program Information Packet, Fast Facts for Horse Shows and Exhibitors, and online list of Declared horses with states listed along with the numbered regions.
