Highpoint membership (Family or Individual) - $50. Qualifies for high-points and awards.
The points will begin accumulating 7 days after receipt of payment or postmarked date. Family includes those living in the household married and their children under the age of 18.
Associate membership (Family of Individual) $25. This membership excludes high point and awards.
Note: For special awards (i.e., performance horse of the year, pleasure horse of the year, amateur of the year, and trainer of the year) the owner, rider, and trainer must ALL be high point members.
For more information on rules of high points, membership and affiliation see forms / application page.
ETWHA Membership Class:
Changes dictate you are now allowed to show in the East TN Members Class if you join the day of an ETWHA affiliated horse show, however high points will not begin to accumulate until after the 7-day grace period.
Points will be awarded to the highest placing member that has reached the 7-day new member grace period. For example, if a new-member (joining that night / day - 7-day grace period not met) ties first and an existing member tie second, the existing member will receive the first place points etc.
