The qualifying period for the 2025 NSBA World Championship Show is May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025.

Qualifying is done through participation in each class at Dual Approved events or Special Events. In the Open classes, the horse, and in the Amateur and Youth classes, the horse and rider, will be required to participate in the corresponding dual approved class a minimum of 5 times within the qualifying period of May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. Those who are not qualified may enter with an additional $150 qualification fee per class.

Please note that horses and riders who qualify and are registered with one of NSBA’s recognized Color Breed Associations may show in both the Color and the all-breed World Championship classes for which they are qualified. For instance, a registered APHA horse and rider who qualifies in Amateur Western Pleasure can show in Color Amateur Western Pleasure and/or Amateur Western Pleasure.

A horse may have met qualification requirements in the previous year as a Green-eligible horse. However, NSBA eligibility is based on January 1 of the current show year.

An exhibitor may have met qualification requirements in the previous year as a Novice eligible exhibitor. However, NSBA eligibility is based on January 1 of the current show year.

Exhibitors who become Amateurs in 2025 must qualify by competing in Amateur classes; Youth classes from the prior year do not count toward the Amateur qualification. Participation on horses that age from the Junior to Senior divisions in 2025 will count towards the Senior division qualification. Limited rider classes in Trail and Western Riding require qualification.
