a team. Currently ASHA has a number of teams with collegiate programs competing within the ASHA show format. The Mustang Heritage Foundation and ASHA are currently working as partners, recognizing and awarding a buckle to the High-Point earning mustang. And developing partnerships with other Associations is of great importance to ASHA. Aged Events promote versatility and ensure longevity in the American Stock Horse. This program has been developed and structured specific to ASHA and are different from other Associations. Three divisions have been created: 4 year old Futurity, 5 year old Derby and 6 year old Maturity. What makes the Futurity unique is the four year old age requirement, instead of three years old. ASHA will retain a portion of the entry fee from each year as the horse competes in all three aged divisions, and at the end a horse will be crowned ASHA Aged Event Champion. Seven Divisions will be offered for 2018. These divisions are based on the riders experience: Open, Non-Pro, Limited Non- Pro, Novice, Youth 14-18 and Youth 8-13. The last division offered is Green Horse and this is based on the experience of the horse. ASHA is continually updating and expanding their divisions to match specific skill sets to represent their membership.
