Location: NC | So I managed to qualify for NBHA World in my first "year" competing. It was in NC 00, so not really a huge accomplishment, but I'm still pretty happy about my very first buckle. LOL
What do you like better on your buckles? I know you only get so many characters. I'm torn between my first name & my gelding's barn name and putting just hid full registered name. And then of course the division and district.
Just wondering what others have liked better for display/wear.
Thanks! |

I was thinking of doing that. I think it would be nicer to have if I were to make a nice display for his photos and buckles down the road. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | Years ago I won an all around on a gelding I used to own. I put his registered name on it since he's the one that did all the work. Its my favorite buckle to this day. The rest sit in boxes. |

| Just make sure you always buy your World qualifier buckle! I didn't my first few because "There are so many more to be won!". Now that precious pet horse has long been buried, and I really wish I had the buckles to commemorate our efforts!!! I always make sure that if I'm really feeling like the horses or I did great, I take that win money and buy a buckle!! It truly is a memorial that will last long after I'm dead! Wahoo for buckles! Congrats on your first one! If you like your horses registered name, put that! My boy was a grade gelding, it would have just said, "Topper". |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | I do horses name every single time. You will appreciate it so much more if you are ever unfortunate to lose a great one.
You have two banners to work with, so you could do both your name and your horses, but I prefer horses name, then the district and divison on the other. |

Me neither. The ones I have just have the event.........not like they know who is going to win them before you get there. I guess these are different. |

I think when you qualify for worlds you have the option of buying it or not, but if you decide to buy the buckle, you get to customize it. |

Location: Oregon | What do you have to do to qualify for the worlds? Why is it "worlds" plural and not "world" singular. I'm learning today. |

I'm not an nbha member, but I think you need to have a certain amount of points or be a certain ranking in nbha points standings for one of the divisions. |

People use the incorrect plural term because everyone else does. Now that it has been mentioned, I seem to recall getting those notices to sell me buckles in the past. NO way am I going to pay for one. If I am recollectin' correctly, you have to buy it. |

I never bought into the qualifier stuff. I'll keep my money. The one that I won that I put my horses name on it was for a year end all around and I could pick out my own buckle. All the rest of my buckles were purchased ahead of time by the committees so it just says what I won. |

Location: Iowa, LA | You have to be the top 4 or 5 in your district year end points in the division you qualify in.
Edited to add that it looks like the top 7 in my district were qualifiers. Not sure if it depends on how large your district is.

Location: Oregon | Thanks! We don't have many NBHA races around here so I just didn't know. I think the word "worlds" is so weird, all the breed associations seem to use it anymore. |

I thought it was actually called the "worlds" show, because everyone in my area says it that way... lol!
I run IBRA as a member. I've ran at NBHA events but I am not a member. |

Location: NC | Thanks to everyone for the congrats. And thank you for your opinions.
I qualified for the 2014 NBHA World Show. I call it "World" not Worlds, but some might call it differently.
I won the 4D in my district. The top 5 were qualified for the World, due to district size. Some send up more. 5 is the minimum.
And yes, you have the choice to buy the buckle. Just like you have the choice to buy a Finals Qualifier buckle AT the World show. I like the choice, so I get to choose what I want on my buckle, not just get what everyone else has.
