Versatility

The NWHA Versatility Program provides a venue for owners to showcase the versatility of the breed in classes that are not designated as traditional "Rail" or Halter Division events.  The program highlights the versatility of the Walking Horse and its inherent ability to perform and compete in a variety of disciplines.

Programs & Information

Lifetime Superior Achievement Program

The Lifetime Superior Achievement Program (LSAP) is a cumulative versatility award program.  Multiple levels of success can be achieved in progression to earn Championship award titles. 


LSAP is a points based program and points may be earned at any competition in which a licensed judge is adjudicating.
