The Executive Committee of ASHA has announced that the ASHA Southern Regional Championships will be held at Southeastern Charity Horse Show in 2006 and 2007. The Board of Directors of Southeastern Charity are very excited about this new designation which will add even more excitement to the horse show.
The Championships, sanctioned by the ASHA, will be awarded to the highest placed horse that is stabled in and/or owned by a resident of Georgia, Florida, or Alabama. The owner must be a member of ASHA. If the owner’s place of residence and the residence of his horse or horses are in different regions, the owner must select the region in which he or she wishes to compete. To be eligible based on the place of residence for the horse, the horse must have been stabled within the southern region thirty days prior to the close of entries at Southeastern Charity.
