Horse Show Records
The purpose of this program is to create a show record for a horse based upon its given performances. TWHBEASM Official Show Records contain only the records that have horse and owner names and registration numbers that are correct and verifiable by comparing the information given on horse show entry forms with the official TWHBEASM registry records of names and registration numbers. Fee is charged for this service which is available only to members of TWHBEASM.
