The following items must be received by ASHBA at least one (1) month prior to the start of the show: ASHBA Horse Show Application, $50 application fee, and show's prize list. A copy of the certificate of liability insurance (with ASHBA named as an additional insured) must be submitted before the start of the show.
Owners, riders, drivers, handlers and trainers of American Saddlebred and Half Saddlebred horses showing at USEF licensed competitions, must be ASHBA competing members.
