WAHA Point System, Legion of Merit, and Supreme Legion of Merit

The point system is open to all WAHA membership categories. Show at rated and non-rated shows and accumulate points for awards in 19 different categories, several of which are divided by age of horse and/or rider. New for 2021 is a free volunteer category. Free to sign up. Volunteer and win prizes!

Only one owner is required to be a WAHA member. For example, if a horse is shown by a trainer that is not a WAHA member, but the horse owner is, the points can be counted if all necessary paperwork is filled out appropriately. You may enter the Point System any time, but no points will be counted for shows attended prior to entering the Point  System.  You must be entered in the Division to earn the points. Example: If you are not entered in PB/AA/HA Breeding, you cannot count points won in that division.  If you want to count points in Showmanship or Equitation, you must enter those divisions separately.

Paperless results submission is an option once you are signed up! Please keep reading for the links on how to submit points. 

Reminder that points must be submitted within 15 days of conclusion of the show or trail riding event.

The Legion of Merit is open to all WAHA membership categories and purebred Arabian, Half-Arabian, and Anglo-Arabians may be nominated for this program. While showing, riding endurance, or trail riding, points are accumulated over the career of the horse. The WAHA Legion of Merit is a separate cumulative WAHA Legion of Merit and is rewarded with a beautiful bronze trophy that is a design unique to WAHA. It is $50 for the first year or $40 for each following year to nominate a horse into this program. If choosing the WAHA Points program flat rate program, the LOM program is included.  

The Supreme Legion of Merit is open to Purebreds, Half-Arabians and Anglo Arabians. Horses that have earned the WAHA Legion of Merit may continue in the WAHA Point System. Starting in 2004, horses earning 1,000 additional points in the WAHA system will receive an award for WAHA Supreme Legion of Merit Award. Nomination fee will be $50 the first year and $40 for each year thereafter. All rules are the same for the WAHA Supreme Legion of Merit as the WAHA Legion of Merit Award.
