Go West to the 17th Annual Irish Draught Horse Society of North America's Breed Show and Inspection on August 15-18, 2013
The Irish Draught Horse Society of North America's (IDHSNA) Annual Breed show will be outside Reno, NV on August 15-18, 2013. Join us at the lovely Franktown Meadows Equestrian in Washoe Valley, Nevada! This breed show is open to Irish Sport horses with a minimum of 1/8 Registered Irish Draught blood. In addition to the Show classes, the event will include an Inspection, Future Event Horse competition, Annual General Meeting, Silent Auction and Show Party.
Classes include In-Hand, Dressage, Hunter, Jumper and Combined Training. Horses must be registered with the Society and the owner must be a member of the IDHSNA
to compete. Not sure if you and your horse qualify? Contact the IDHSNA Registrar/Member Services Coordinator Priscilla Menard via email ([email protected]) or phone 859-455-8090 to find out. Have your pedigree papers handy. New for 2013, your Irish horse may qualify for a Certificate of Pedigree (and be able to participate in the breed show) if DNA can verify Irish Draught blood. Again, contact the IDHSNA office for more details.
A full schedule of classes and an entry form are available at www.idhsnaannualshow.com. ENTRIES CLOSE - July 15, 2013. More information may also be found on the IDHSNA Society website http://www.irishdraught.com/.
This Annual Show will include an Inspection opportunity on Thursday, August 15. Judges from Ireland will inspect stock for the right to breed and become a Registered
Irish Draught (RID) or Registered Irish Sport Horse (RIDSH) with the IDHSNA.T
he IDHSNA Annual Show will also offer a Future Event Horse (FEH) competition in accordance with USEA rules. FEH horses (aged 1 to 3) need not be registered with
the Society to enter. See the USEA website for details and requirements for FEH.
Even if you don't have an Irish horse to compete, we invite you to attend! Meet the farmer's horse of Ireland who is also the foundation of internationally successful Eventers and Jumpers. The Irish Draught is an endangered breed according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. We welcome the opportunity to share the Irish Draught and the related Irish Draught Sport Horse (an ID cross breed) with you! So, join us at Franktown Meadows Equestrian in Washoe Valley, Nevada on August 15-18. See you there.
