IPHDA is a place where I get to show my colts. They have taken the training process and divided it up into levels, much like there are for dressage and jumping. This enables me to show the young horses I have coming along.
Plus, the online format is very handy for my thin, thin pocket book. No trailering, no taking the day off, no getting everything spic and span for the judges.
Take the video, upload it to YouTube, wait for the judging to come back.
And the awards they have are awesome. I'm in the running for a saddle right now. Somebody pinch me.
I highly recommend joining this association to anyone who wants to show the training they are doing on their horses.
If you happen to have a finished horse, show him too. They got levels for those too.

Global Horse Culture interviewed me about a year ago about my life as a feedyard cowboy and horse trainer.
They have found some really interesting stuff related to horses. History, specialties and other little known facts. Check it out, it's worth the read.
