To achieve WDAA show recognition approval, show organizers must collect specific data from competitors, which meets the universal requirements for all WDAA award programs. These data requirements ensure compliance with WDAA standards, regardless of the program:
- Exhibitor Information
- Exhibitor Name
- WDAA Membership Number (essential for competitors earning points; non-members should be noted)
- Horse Information
- Horse Name
- Horse Identification Number, which may be one of the following:
- WDAA Horse Number
- Breed Registration Number
- USEF Horse Number
- Class and Division Information
- Detailed class and division entries to allow accurate points allocation and award tracking.
By collecting this standardized data, show organizers ensure WDAA show recognition compliance, enabling accurate results tracking for both the WDAA Horse Lifetime Points and Awards Program (WHLPAP) and the Year-End High Point Program (YEHP).
