W E L C VHJA O M E Welcome to the very latest version of the New England Horsemen’s Council 2016-2017 Rule Book. Your elected delegates have worked hard to give you an up-to-date, concise guide for showing at our affiliated horse shows. Managers, Judges, and Stewards also have information that they need. The New England Horsemen’s Council officers and delegates volunteer their time and efforts on your behalf to insure that the events you attend are held to the highest standards of competition and safety. This assures you of balance and equity at our affiliated events. This year the council has “gone green” which has resulted in substantial savings. We are pleased all of our pleasure equitation medal finals will be crowned at the Octoberfest Horse Show in West Springfield, MA. Your support of our youth is so critical. We are pleased and excited to announce the formation of our NEHC Youth Group. Watch the NEHC website for details.
