-----Announcing....the North Central American Saddlebred Regional Championships will take place at the Wisconsin Futurity Horse Festival! The North Central Region consists of the States of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota and Nebraska. The Regional Championship will be awarded to American Saddlebred horses that are owned (registration papers must show proper ownership) and shown by individuals within this region. A minimum of two riders must participate in the class. The owner of the horse MUST BE a current member of the American Saddlebred Association and a copy of the current card must be presented at the show office. If the card has expired mid-year, it is up to the exhibitor to prove to the horse show office they are current members. The Region Champion will be awarded as Grand National Classes are. In other words if a horse wins the class that is not part of the North Central Region (State of IL), the first horse that is from the region in the placings will be awarded the Region Champion. Only a Champion will be awarded, no other placings. Regional Champions will be awarded in the following classes:
