Championship Challenge

The WHC Championship Challenge Committee has made significant changes to the WHC Championship Challenge Open Show Award Program for 2019. We had hoped that this program would enable more competitors to participate and earn awards, regardless of their physical location and/or skill level. However, due to low enrollment and participation numbers, this program is being phased out and will end on 12/31/20.

The program will no longer offer the yearly high point grand and reserve awards for 2019 & 2020. This program will be a strictly cumulative points earning opportunity for those that have been competing to continue to work towards and earn their Merit and Champion Awards at the different levels.

If anyone new would like to sign up to compete in this program during its final two years (2019 & 2020) in an attempt to earn enough points to reach the Merit and Champion Award totals needed, you are welcome to do so by sending in the nomination form with the appropriate fees. Just be aware that competitors will only have until 12/31/20, to earn points towards the award levels below.

Cumulative Award Levels are as follows:

* Bronze Merit Award - Must accumulate 200 points in a single division
* Silver Merit Award - Must accumulate 300 points in a single division
* Gold Merit Award - Must accumulate 500 points in a single division
* Platinum Champion Award - Must accumulate 1,000 points in a single division
* Supreme Champion Award - Must accumulate 400 points in three different divisions

In an attempt to make this program as easy as possible to understand and participate in, we made this page your one stop shop. Please click on each of the links below to access the rules/guidelines and forms needed in order to participate.

If you should have questions, please feel free to contact the WHC Office at (920) 623-0393 or e-mail us at darla@wisconsinhorsecouncil.org.

As with most programs, some adjustments may need to be made to ensure a competitive and fair program. The Championship Challenge Committee will review the program at the end of the each year and make any necessary changes. The committee will take into consideration any constructive suggestions and insights submitted by participants, and welcomes your feedback.
