The rule book

The rule book is now in the rules and policies section.

The recent changes, highlighted in yellow in the rule book:

Section 1, Membership: the new Pros membership has been added.
Section 2, Animal welfare: the inhumane treatment section has been expanded.
Section 3, Violations: now includes "Horses under the age of 4 may be shown in-hand after July 1st in their first year".
Section 4, Disciplinary procedure: makes clear that its consequences and penalties apply to WES shows and events. For every other matter of behaviour or governance (for example online conduct, or complaints about officials), the Society's formal Disciplinary Procedure and Code of Conduct apply.
Section 6, Performance classes: 6.6 adds a new points allocation map; 6.8, Championship Qualifiers and Classes, has been updated.
Section 14: a new In-hand Trail section.
Section 15, Ranch Trail: the drag obstacle is updated for youths: "This Obstacle is not allowed in the Youth 13 &U division, and Youth 14-18 should be a straight drag between two posts."
Section 22, Rules for Professionals: updated to reflect the recently published changes.

We host a central calendar that brings together events from all the western societies, clubs and venues: the Western Events Central Calendar.

The Society's current policies, the constitution among them, are in rules and policies.
