ATTENTION SPRING SHOW & FUTURITY EXHIBITORS

The MFTHBA staff, committees, board of directors, and countless other volunteers have been hard at work preparing for the 2024 MFTHBA shows. Class schedules have been approved and the 2024 Spring Show and Three-Year-Old Futurity schedule has been posted. The Hall of Fame Room is housing beautiful garlands and ribbons waiting to be awarded. Road work, arena repairs, water, electrical, and building maintenance are happening daily. DQPs have been trained, the judge list accuracy has been verified, and computers are being updated.

Now is the time for exhibitors to prepare for the entry desk! To make the shows more enjoyable for everyone and expedite the entry process, please take care of the following items by April 30, 2024:

1. Update your membership. All exhibitors and owners of horses being exhibited must be current members in good standing of the MFTHBA.
2. Purchase your Amateur/Professional Card. All exhibitors 18 years of age and over must have a current Amateur or Professional card. Youth showing in non-youth classes must have a Youth Amateur card. No card is required for youth showing in ONLY youth designated classes.
3. Update your membership information with your DATE OF BIRTH. To show in any age restricted class (youth, senior citizens, ladies, mens, bareback equitation) your date of birth must be on file as part of your membership information.

PLEASE ensure this information is updated NO LATER than April 30, 2024. We will import information from the database to begin preparing for entries May 1, 2024. Information not updated prior to this import will have to be manually verified prior to entering any classes at the 2024 Spring Show and Three-Year-Old Futurity and will cause longer wait times for entries.

Memberships and Amateur/Professional cards can be purchased online or by contacting the MFTHBA office. If you are a lifetime member, please contact the MFTHBA office to ensure your date of birth is in the database.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Ava the first week of June!
