Nominate to the UPHA Classics Program



Spring is just around the corner and it is time to nominate your American Saddlebred, Hackney Ponies and Morgan horses to the 2018 UPHA Classics Program. The $100 nomination fee will be accepted with a postmark on or before April 1, 2018. After April 1, the eligibility fee becomes $150 per nomination.

The UPHA Classics originated in 1974 to stimulate interest in young horses, and to provide owners and trainers an opportunity to receive substantial prize money. The UPHA Classics is a well-planned and proven program that contributes to the growth and prosperity of the show horse industry. It provides local competition and National Championships with substantial prize money for young performance horses and ponies. Breeders, owners, and trainers all benefit from the UPHA Classics. Due to this program, young performance entries have a greater earning power and therefore, can demand higher sales prices.
