AQHA points count for western horses Basic through Level Four. Classical horses will need the AQHA competition license and can earn points Training through Fourth Level. Entries close August 12 with ride times being published about August 25. All entries are made through www.showsecretary.com. The horse’s AQHA papers and the exhibitor’s AQHA current membership card (as well as Competition License for classical horses) are required to be uploaded when entries are submitted. AQHA entries are also required to pay, at time of entry, the $8.00 AQHA processing fee in addition to entry, office, and stall or jump out fees. AQHA horses will not compete in separate classes. Rather, the horse’s tests and their scores will be separated out for the purpose of submission to AQHA. East Meets West will adhere to facility requirements and all competitors, including western, are required to wear helmets. As with any dressage show the horse’s bridle number must be on the horse at all times except when stalled helmets or at a trailer. As part of our AQHA Special Event approval we will be adhering to both AQHA, USEF, and WDAA rules. This will include bit and equipment checking of at least one-third of the entries.
