Qualifier & International Shows
The International Committee (IC) is pleased to announce WAWE has approved three US qualifier shows for the 2025 season. WAWE Qualifier Shows follow WAWE rules and allow competitors to earn qualifying scores to be eligible for the 2026 World Championship in Spain. The 2025 shows:
Western Regions:
October 10-12, 2025
California Ranch Company, Temecula, California
Contact: Amanda Latta / winecountryclassichorseshow@gmail.com
Eastern Regions:
October 17-19, 2025
Meadow Event Park, Doswell, Virginia
Contact: Maria Blackstone / mblackstone2021@gmail.com
Central Regions:
November 6-9, 2025
Texas Rose Horse Park, Tyler, Texas
Contact: Doreen Atkinson / doreenatkinson@yahoo.com
The ID is now accepting applications for 2025 WAWE International Shows. International Shows are separate from WAWE Qualifier Shows. USAWE has been granted two International Shows this year, to be held in different regions. These shows must have one WAWE judge presiding. Riders at International Shows follow WAWE rules and tests, and if the required minimum scores are achieved they will gain points toward the WAWE World Ranking. International Shows do NOT qualify riders for the 2026 World Championship.
Interested show managers please contact international@usawe.org for application and related information.
High Performance Riders
The IC is excited to present the current roster of USAWE High Performance Riders. These riders have successfully competed in USAWE Licensed Shows at the Advanced and/or Masters levels thus far in 2024 or 2025 AND have confirmed their interest in joining the HPR team. New team members can be added as they become eligible.
