Recognizing that we share a love of naturally smooth-gaited
horses NWHA is proud to announce a collaboration with the
American Field Trial Association. The TRIP will award a special
distance prize to the TRIP member accumulating the highest
number of hours at American Field Trial events. This will be a
special award at the NWHA annual meeting. TRIP members need only
note in their trail logs which rides are field trials in order
to be eligible.
Then we've got a program for YOU!!!! Join Walking America's
Trails, the NWHA Trail Rider's program and you can do all this
while documenting your accomplishments and earning prizes for
each level. There are yearly high mile awards which are
beautiful silver belt buckles as well as truck decals, shirts,
saddlebags etc. And all just for riding your horse. What could
be easier!
The program is free to all members of NWHA riding any gaited
horse and to any gaited horse owned by a member of NWHA. All you
have to do is enter, log your miles and collect your rewards.

Here are a few
Rules:
-
Program is open to any member of NWHA and any gaited horse
owned by a member of NWHA
-
There is no fee to enter this program
-
As long as the horse is owned by any member of NWHA it may
accumulate hours with any rider or any combination of riders
-
As long as the entered adult or youth rider remains a member
of NWHA he/she may accumulate trail hours on any gaited horse
-
Trail riding time is to be reported in time spent in the
saddle and moving, not by the mile covered. Time counts only
when actually trail riding. There is no credit given for arena
riding, showing, riding in parades or riding within ½ mile of
the owner's own house
-
NWHA officially sanctioned trail rides will count double the
actual amount of time spent in the saddle
-
Trail hours will be counted in ¼ hour (15 minute) increments,
with the time rounded out to the nearest ¼ hour and with a ½
hour minimum per ride. If you ride less than ½ hour it's just
not really a trail ride
-
Hours must be reported on the official log forms/book with a
separate log for each participating horse and/or rider. These
forms will be mailed to you upon receipt of your entry form
-
The hours will accumulate from Oct. 1 - Sept. 30 for the
purpose of yearly high hour awards
-
Participants will receive trailer/truck decals with additions
for each mileage level in addition to patches. Additional
awards will be given at 100 hours and then for each 250 hour
level achieved. Points for these will accumulate from year to
year as long as the horse or rider remains in the program
High Mile Horse, Iron Buns Adult Rider and High Mile Youth Rider
awards will be offered at the annual meeting and based on the
total number of hours ridden in that year. Hours accumulate from
year to year for the program awards.
