I just enrolled my horse with WDAA. Where are my points from previous shows this year?

Horses do not start earning YEHP points until they are signed up with a WDAA Horse Number, or enroll in WHLPAP. YEHP points from past shows cannot be applied retroactively. Only YEHP points earned in the current competition year, after the program is initiated, are eligible if the horse and rider meet the required criteria. Continue Reading

Why can’t my horse’s points from all divisions count toward a cumulative total?

Points in the YEHP are recorded based on the divisions listed in each show’s official results and in accordance with WDAA show recognition rules.

If I ride in a class that combines adults and junior exhibitors or professionals and amateurs, how does that class count?

Points for Amateur, Junior, or Gaited divisions are awarded only when riders are placed together in a separate division.
