Louisville Qualifying Rule Modification



Many horse shows are adding TBA (to be announced) classes to their schedules. The current Kentucky State Fair qualifying rules prohibit TBA classes from counting.

Management of the Kentucky State Fair has determined that if the following criteria are met, then TBA classes will count for Park and Pleasure qualifying at the World’s Championship Horse Show.  The specific class(es) that will be held must be determined at least two (2) weeks in advance of the horse show.  If the show has a website or Facebook page, the class should be published online at least two (2) weeks in advance of the show.  If there is no website, the exhibitors should be notified immediately as to what the class(es) will be. In either case, Kentucky State Fair show management and the ASHA must be notified by show management at least two (2) weeks in advance of the show being held in order for the class(es) to count for Kentucky State Fair qualifying.  

This rule modification applies only to TBA classes and does not include classes that are added during the week a horse show is scheduled to be held.
