NEWQHA Year-End Qualifications for Both AQHA and Open Show Programs Revised: 2010

2) Both the member/owner of the horse shown and the exhibitor must be current members of NEWQHA and the Wisconsin Quarter Horse Association, WQHA. (Note: Those competing for Open Show awards are not required to be a member of WQHA, but must fulfill the rest of the listed requirements.)
3) In the case of a family membership, each family member competing for awards must fulfill the requirements. (Ex. Jack, Jill and their daughter Sue are all competing for year end awards. That means three sets of requirements would need to be met in order for each to qualify for those awards). (Note: Leadline, Small Fry and Walk/Trot competitors are exempt from the above situation). Each Member must fulfill one of the following sets of requirements:
a) Attend one (1) meeting & Work a total of (2) hours at the show or committee & Submit two (2) sponsorships of $20.00 each.

5) Any exception to the above requirements must be in writing and brought to the board by May 15, 2010.
6) The current year for these qualifications is defined as December 2009 through September 2010. There are no regular scheduled meetings in June, July, or August.
