WHOA show chairman reminders for 2025

2025 WHOA Horse Show reminders
Monday, January 20, 2025

 

New HPA requirements are going into effect Feb, 1, 2025 and show managers are required to have even more accurate record-keeping than in the past. We will need your help and cooperation to make sure we are in compliance at all of our shows!

Accurate addresses, phone numbers and email addresses for each owner, trainer and rider are required.  Trainer’s contact information for owners and/or exhibitors will no longer be allowed.

Current and accurate copies of each horses coggins papers are now required to be on file in the show office.

• We will no longer be able to simply look at a coggins and mark it complete – we must have a copy on file in the show office with the horses’ registered name and registration number. Barn names on coggins are no longer acceptable!
• Each coggins must have the horses registration number and registered name. If something other than a horses registered name ends up on a coggins, the registered name must be written in ink on the papers.

In order to help make these requirements easier, the following options are available from the WHOA show office:

• You can bring us printed copies of the coggins/Health Certificates at any time to place in your file for the year. A copy of the coggins/Health certificate must be received before any back numbers are released.
• We will have a printer/copier in the show office where you can print or make copies of the coggins.
• If you make arrangements with the show secretary in advance, you can email a copy of the coggins/Health Certificate and the show secretary will process it and file it with each horse in the event records. This cannot be done on the day of the show!
• If you have multiple horse entries, all paperwork must be handled and back numbers must be picked up at the same time.

Reminder: Each owner and exhibitor must be members of WHOA before entries are accepted.  Please go ahead and complete your membership renewals now!
