ASHA Junior Exhibitor Driving Challenge Sponsored By Elisabeth M. Goth



The American Saddlebred Horse Association and Elisabeth M. Goth are pleased to offer the ASHA Junior Exhibitor Driving Challenge program to promote the sport of driving American Saddlebreds for young enthusiasts.

We hope your show will consider participating this year in the Driving Challenge. The Challenge will consist of qualifying classes in two divisions, Junior Exhibitor Country Pleasure Driving and Junior Exhibitor Show Pleasure Driving, at selected shows throughout the year, and each show must offer both classes. The classes do not have to be at USEF licensed shows, but must be judged according to the USEF rules. Custom ribbons will be provided by ASHA. 

To be eligible for the $10,000 in cash and prizes offered, a horse must be a ribbon winner in two qualifying classes prior to the Finals. A horse must qualify in two official Junior Exhibitor Country Pleasure Driving classes to qualify for the Country Pleasure Driving Final or two official Junior Exhibitor Show Pleasure Driving classes to qualify for the Show Pleasure Driving Final. 

If you are interested in attracting new exhibitors to your show by adding these classes,
please return the ASHA Youth Driving Challenge form by April 23, 2018. Please contact Brenda Newell, Sr. Programs Administrator at 859-259-3886 or [email protected] should you have any questions.
