| The International
Friesian Show Horse Association is the official United States
Equestrian Federation (USEF) recognized representative of the
Friesian horse and direct Friesian
progeny.
They promote IFSHA activities by
offering a Year End Awards Program and recognition for Friesians
that excel in open competition, as well as junior equitation,
English pleasure (saddle seat, hunt seat), costume, western
pleasure, halter, dressage, driving, and even trail classes. There
will also be fun classes like Liberty to promote the Friesian horse
in its natural splendor.
Please be aware
that: At
this time, by IFSHA rules, in order to be eligible to show with
IFSHA, the participating horse must
have at least one purebred Friesian parent and must be a minimum
of 50% Friesian heritage.
Additionally, IFSHA
scores ARE NOT recognized in the HH Open Awards Program
If you have horses of Friesian
heritage who are not sired by a purebred Friesian parent and you
would like to be able to show them in IFSHA shows in the future,
please write to them at
ifsha@friesianshowhorse.com
and tell them you would like them to consider a rule change that
would allow inclusion of ALL horses of Friesian heritage! If you
send a request to IFSHA, please send the HH a copy so that we are
aware of your interest as well:
hh@friesianheritage.com
(You can just CC us a copy of your
email to IFSHA)
