Why did the WCHA get started in the first place?
That is perhaps the most exciting thing about the movement. Owners, breeders and trainers all agreed that creating an organization with
a unified voice was critical to the future of the industry. A diminishing market certainly served as catalyst for the first meeting
in May 2007, but the result was a focus on the bigger picture of organizing a segment of the horse industry among the first seen
in competition.
Why does the name of the association include Conformation Horse rather than Halter Horse?
The founders of the WCHA recognize that conformation is a crucial element to the soundness and athletic ability of the horse,
regardless of the discipline in which it might be involved. While the WCHA will develop and promote halter horse competition,
its primary mission will be to educate the public about the value of and how to recognize good conformation in the horse.
