What Events and Shows Does WSCA Organize or List?

WSCA (Western Saddle Clubs Association, Inc.) organizes its own championship and futurity shows and also maintains an event listing system where horse-related activities are published. The main event-related sections on wsca.org are Shows, WSCA Championship Horse Show, WSCA Futurity, Minnesota State Fair, On Deck Event Listings, On Deck Submission, and Champ Show Results. If you want to know what WSCA runs itself versus what it simply lists for members, the distinction is between the association's own shows and the broader On Deck calendar of horse activities.

Events WSCA Organizes

These are the shows and activities the association itself runs or is directly involved in:

• WSCA Championship Horse Show — the association's flagship show, referenced throughout the site and tied to its own advertising and sponsorship forms.
• WSCA Futurity — a separate WSCA-run event listed alongside the Championship Horse Show.
• Minnesota State Fair — listed as a WSCA-related event, indicating the association participates in or coordinates around this fair.

The site also notes a Champ Show Committee contact (James Duenow) and a Qualifications Coordinator (Natali Steffensen), which tells you that qualifying for the Championship Horse Show involves a qualifications process rather than open entry. If you are aiming for the Championship Horse Show, the qualifications contact is the practical starting point.

Events WSCA Lists for Others

Beyond its own shows, WSCA runs an event listing function:

• On Deck Event Listings — the published calendar of horse shows, trail rides, and other horse-related activities.
• On Deck Submission — the channel for submitting an event to be listed.

The homepage describes the organization's scope as helping people find "when and where horse shows, trail rides, and other horse related activities are happening." So On Deck is the section to check if you are looking for something to attend, and On Deck Submission is where you go if you have an event to publish.

Getting Results and News

• Champ Show Results — published results from the Championship Horse Show.
• News and Club News — association and club-level updates.
• Digital Spotlight — a publication with its own Digital Spotlight Library and a Digital Spotlight Subscription option. Spotlight subscriptions and advertising are handled through Herald Journal Publishing (PO Box 129, Winsted, MN 55395; [email protected]).

Quick Reference

Practical Notes

• The Championship Horse Show involves a qualifications step — contact the Qualifications Coordinator rather than assuming open entry.
• Event listings and submissions are separate pages: On Deck Event Listings to browse, On Deck Submission to post.
• For advertising, sponsorship, or vendorship at the Champ Show, the site points to its forms and information pages.
• For general contact, the WSCA Secretary is Liz Bauer ([email protected]).

If your goal is to attend, the On Deck Event Listings page is the place to start; if your goal is to compete at the WSCA level, begin with the Championship Horse Show and Futurity pages and confirm qualifications before entering.
