Show Sponsorships

New Futurity Class System 

In an effort to make it easier to enter young horse futurity classes offered at the Minnesota State Championship Horse Show, MSHA has moved away from a formal nomination process.

If you are interested in showing a weanling, yearling or 2 year-old, you now can enter these classes with the rest of your Minnesota State Championship Horse Show entries, and will not be required to pre-nominate.

The entry fee is $200 for all classes with the jackpot paid out 100%. Exhibitors must be members of MSHA.


Enter the Costume Class with No Entry Fee

The Championship Horse Show will host a Costume Class on Saturday afternoon following the Academy Finals. Class is open to both Academy and Show riders. Individual and group entries are allowed. Start time for the class will be announced at the show.

Each entry should sign up in the show office and provide a short description of your entry for the announcer to read. There will be no entry fee for this class.
