The Road to the North American Championships
Qualifying Shows: The shows designated as Qualifiers offer the opportunity to qualify for the North American Championships based on placement at any one of these shows.
Qualifying shows are, typically, larger stand alone breed shows or major all breed shows with Gypsy and Drum Horse divisions.
NEWS: Due to the cancellation of several shows, the NAC qualification requirements have been modified. For 2011, entries may qualify for the North American Championships by showing in, and being judged, in the same class at any of the remaining qualifying shows (ie, to show in a western pleasure class at the NAC, you must also have shown in, and been judged, in a western pleasure class at one, or more, of the qualifying shows).
