Last year’s format for the World Warm-Up Circuit and
World Show proved to work well and the same format will
be used again for 2009. The circuit will consist of two
shows, each running two days and each judged by 3 judges
for 3 sets of IBHA points awarded in each circuit show.
The World Show will be triple judged for 3 sets of IBHA
points plus a calculated scoring system to determine the
World and Reserve World Champions. The nine sets of
points give good cause to attend and compete for a
“piece of the action”. The complete event will be held
August 1 through August 8 and returns to the Agricenter
Show Place Arena in Memphis, Tennessee.
This year the office will be run by Equine Events, LLC
of Nicholasville, Kentucky. Cathy Oyster, owner of the
company, is well known in the horse show world and many
IBHA members know Cathy and her company.
Wage’s Silversmiths will be making a “Top Five” buckle
to be available to those contestants placing in the top
five of the World Show.
The World Show program book is being published this year
by Equine National, the official publication of IBHA.
Advertisers and judges will be contacted for ads in the
souvenir book. Special rates are being offered and the
benefit in advertising is the fact that the program book
is kept as a souvenir of the event and it is referred to
long after the event is over. For more information
contact Susan Fisher at 715-288-6126.
Don’t miss out on having your name, ranch or product
exposed to the IBHA world.
