The American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) will once again be offering multiple ways to enhance the Kentucky State Fair World’s Championship Horse Show (WCHS) experience in 2011, for attendees and non-attendees alike.
Merial Webcast For those unable to attend every day of the show, ASHA, in conjunction with the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), will be providing the Merial Webcast of the 2011 Kentucky State Fair WCHS, free of charge. Once again, the ASHALive coverage of this year’s event will also include class schedules, results and the action from each class inside the ring, all as part of the WCHS online experience.
Class schedules and results are also available at ASHALive.net.

Access the class schedule, results, ASHA news, and each issue of American Saddlebred Daily from ASHALive.
Constant updates, news, information, photos and show results will also be available from ASHA via Facebook, Twitter, and ASHA’s new Saddlebred Blog.
