AVOID EXTRA STRESS ON SHOW DAY!!!

You know you hate standing in line at the entry booth while your horse is waiting for you at the trailer.  Members are eligible to use our pre-entry system....do yourself and the entry booth volunteers a favor and use our pre-entry system.  E-mail mwhaheidi@yahoo.com for more information.

Please remember that our shows are run by members/volunteers.   Our rule for eligibility for year end awards states that a member, family member or representative for a member must volunteer for 2 hours during the show season. 

That's only 2 hours at some point during our possible 8 shows.  So please don't be shy....step forward and give a hand and make sure your time gets recorded in the entry booth.  The entry booth needs the most help from 7:30 am to around 10 am.

For those of you who show Paint Horses we would like to let you know that MWHA participates in the PAC Program.  So if you have signed up for PAC Heidi Kern at the end of the day.

Horse Show Parking

Be aware that MWHA rents only the ground west of the stream.  Only when there are NO events in the big exhibition hall are we allowed to park on the paved parking lot or the parking space beside the exhibition hall.

We now have signs directing trailers to designated parking.  Please follow these signs or our contract will be violated.  When in doubt, park west of the stream!
