PHJ press release
The pre-entry deadline for the 2015 APHA World Championship Show is September 15, with RV and stall reservations due at the same time. Beginning September 16, show entries and reservations will include a late fee. Get the best deal on your entries and reservations—and time and paperwork at the same time—by using the APHA World Show online entry system, available at apha.com/oawcs.
Nearly everyone can use the online entry platform, but there are a few things to know in advance:
- Credit card payment only.
- Unlike the traditional entry form, you will submit one online entry for each horse/exhibitor combination.
- Stall and RV reservations will still need to be submitted via the paper form.
Those wishing to enter the following will need to submit traditional entry forms (via mail, fax or email) for these particular classes/options:
- Breeders’ Futurity classes
- Farnam Sale Stakes classes
- Southern Belle Breeders’ class option
- Ranch Sorting
- Speed-event rollover option
Additional Recommendations
Online entry is simple and easy, though there are some differences from the traditional entry form.
Online entries should be submitted per horse/exhibitor combination; if you’re entering a horse with multiple exhibitors, never fear. Though the online entry system will automatically assess the administration fee for each submission, credit cards are not charged immediately. All entries will be reviewed and processed by APHA staff, and only one administration fee will be charged per horse. Classes that offer multiple programs and awards such as the Intermediate Exhibitor division or National Snaffle Bit Association dual-class will show multiple options for class entry.
To enter a class with multiple options, select the one best choice for your needs. For example, an exhibitor only showing in Masters Amateur Hunt-Seat Equitation would select AHS6, while an exhibitor who is also an NSBA member would select AHS6+NSBA.
You will receive a confirmation email when you submit your entry online, as well as the traditional confirmation letter closer to the show. We suggest that you print out the form for your own records.
Prefer the traditional mail-in or fax-in entry method? No problem! Entry information and forms are available with the 2015 Premium Book at apha.com/oawcs.
