Because the decision to offer these seven classes was made so late in the World Show qualifying period, the Executive Committee agreed to waive qualifying requirements for horses entering these events. However, if exhibitors also wish to enter additional classes—beyond the seven noted above—they will be subject to the existing qualifying requirements, which includes showing at a minimum of four APHA-approved events and to at least eight judges between August 1, 2013, and July 31, 2014.
