(Registration Info/Forms • Parking • Liability Release • Show Attire Guidelines)

LCHA shows are PAC approved by the American Paint Horse Association!

LCHA offers an open judged show the first Saturday of each month except January, July, and December. Shows are open to riders of all disciplines and skill levels. Novice classes are offered. Members who compete earn points and are eligible for year-end High Point Awards.

A registration form is required for all show class entrants—a separate registration form must be completed for each horse/rider combo. The Registration Form is available at the show or may be printed below.

Show Attire Guidelines

LCHA utilizes the rulebook of the American Quarter Horse Association in conducting all shows. The following guidelines regarding appropriate show attire have been taken from the 2013 AQHA Rule Book:

English: In all English classes, riders should wear hunt coats of traditional colors such as navy, dark green, grey, black or brown. Maroon and red are improper. Breeches are to be of traditional shades of buff, khaki, canary, light grey or rust (or jodhpurs), with high English boots or paddock (jodhpur) boots of black or brown. Black, navy blue or brown hard hat (with harness for youth in any over fence classes) is mandatory. A tie or choker is required. Gloves, spurs of the unrowelled type that are blunt, round or that include a smooth rolling rubber ball and no longer than one inch and crops and bats are optional. Hair must be neat and contained (as in net or braid). Judges must penalize contestants who do not conform. (AQHA Handbook, 2010, p. 53/274)
