Novice, Amateur and Walk-Trot cards made easy with online application

Though winter weather might make riding tough, now is the perfect time to start planning your 2017 show calendar! While you’re at it, be sure you have all your ducks—and your paperwork—in a row before you hit the road! First introduced in 2016, this simple online form is your one-stop shop for all your application and eligibility needs; apply for your Amateur, Novice Amateur, and Walk-Trot cards via this easy form.

Remember, to qualify to compete in Amateur Walk-Trot classes at the World Show, exhibitors must hold a current Amateur Walk-Trot card prior to May 31 of the World Show year. If a current Amateur Walk-Trot card has not been held prior to May 31 of the World Show year, the exhibitor may apply for one at the World Show if the following conditions apply:

  • The exhibitor may not have earned any points in performance classes (Open and/or Amateur) with APHA or any other recognized association during the current calendar year. Halter and in-hand classes do not count against eligibility.
