If a person or horse enters a class(es) for which they are not qualified, no post-entry fee will be charged. This exemption does not apply to classes that do not require qualification, including program classes such as Maturities, Futurities, or classes restricted to Sweepstakes horses.

Entries not received by the closing dates may not be listed in the program. Every effort will be made to stall post entries with horses from the same barn.

Entering Classes not qualified by the closing date

Horses and riders who enter but are not yet qualified for some classes, and who intend to qualify prior to the start of the National Show they are entering, should enter the non-qualified classes and pay the applicable fees.

Entering non-qualified classes avoids late class fees and helps determine whether a class needs to be split, allowing a revised schedule to be published before the start of the show. If a horse and rider do not qualify for a class, the class fee will be refunded.

Qualifications for classes may be earned up to the start of the show.

Stall Request forms are Due by Tuesday, August 11, Midnight MT to Guarantee Stalling
