Become a NAMHSA member!

Types of Membership

NAMHSA offers two types of memberships.
  1. Show memberships; and
  2. Individual memberships.
Show Memberships

Any live model horse show shall be eligible for NAMHSA membership provided all requirements for membership are met. Every edition of a model horse live show is considered a separate entity; therefore, a show held twice within the NAMHSA show year is considered two separate entities.

NAMHSA member shows are qualifying shows for the North American Nationals, i.e., "NAN". Each member show shall have one vote on issues submitted to the membership by the Board of Directors and shall have all responsibilities as stated in these Bylaws.

Our NAN-qualification show year runs from May 1 to April 30, so any member show held after May 1 in a given year will qualify models to enter in the following 2 years of NANs. (For example, April 30, 2006 is the cutoff for earning qualification for entry to NAN 2006. Shows held on or after May 1, 2006 will qualify models to show at NAN 2007 or NAN 2008.)

In order to apply to be a member show, each applicant must send a completed membership application form, a copy of the show packet, and the membership dues to the NAMHSA Show Membership Secretary. The yearly membership fee per show depends on the total number of NAN tickets requested - a fee schedule is available on the membership application form. Please note that NAMHSA accepts PayPal for member show fees, sent to treasurer@namhsa.org.


Please note that you must submit your application for your show to NAMHSA at least 60 days in advance of your show date.


The Secretary (or his/her designee) shall review the application materials and, provided all requirements are met, shall add the show to the NAMHSA membership.

New and renewing members will receive a welcome letter and NAN tickets. If you have any questions or require hard copies of any documents, please e-mail the Show Membership Secretary or write to her at Jennifer Tate, Show Membership Secretary, 1421 Roosevelt Rd., Machesney Park, IL 61115


Individual Memberships

Not a showholder, but want to have a voice in NAMHSA? Here's your chance!

With an Individual Membership, you have FULL benefits of NAMHSA membership, such as nominating and voting for your Regional Representative. The membership fee is just $20 for one (1) year or $50 for three (3) years. Please note that your membership fee may be made via check or money order made payable to NAMHSA. Paypal is also accepted and must be sent to treasurer@namhsa.org.

You may download complete information and a membership application in Microsoft Word format. A downloadable pdf version will be posted shortly.

If you have any questions, please e-mail the Individual Membership Secretary or write to her at Gaylene Kirkpatrick, 821 33rd St. NW, Rochester, MN 55901.
