The Entry Level Showmanship Futurity was Designed
to encourage and showcase the progress of the Entry Level Exhibitors.
Other Entry Level Classes are being considered for a Futurity.
Entry-Level Clases are for those Exhibitors who are showing miniature horses in
a particular type of class for the first or second year . Each year
will be counted as a full year regardless of the number of shows or classes in
which the Exhibitor participated.

Clinic for Exhibitors the evening before the annual WCMHR World Championship.
Show participants have often said that they have learned more from Jackie at the
Clinic than they have anywhere else.
Entry Level Exhibitors also have an opportunity
to observe the techniques of the many Professional Exhibitors and Trainers that
are participants in the Annual WCMHR World Championship each year.
