“All a person needs is a horse, and a friend with a video camera to compete in an iphda event”

IPHDA was developed to promote and hold PHD events!

IPHDA is committed to:

• Helping members develop willingly guided horses
• Offering competitive divisions for all horse and riders
• Using current technology to bring the educational event of PHD to anyone anywhere in the world

IPHDA events include:

• Live Shows
  •  IPHDA Competitions held by clubs or individuals using either attending judges or virtual judges to place their classes.   

• Live Practices and V show tapings
  • A group getting together to practice patterns and drills and video tape each other in order to enter a V show or V Practice.

     

• Virtual shows.
  • Because our events are based on a black and white, right or wrong type of judging instead of different degree’s of right or wrong we are able to fairly assess an exhibitor’s performance on videotape. This allows us to hold shows online. The exhibitor rides the selected pattern for that month's V show at a place of their choice, someone video tapes the ride, they then upload the video to the Internet and enter our show.   
  • We have cash paybacks for the winners, and chances to win many awards just for entering.

•  Vitual practices.
  • V Practices are set up for the riders that do not have ready access to trainers in their area
  • Using video and the Internet IPHDA and participating clinicians offer each V Practice participant critiques and tips.
  • V Practices are like personalized training videos

Alaska has it's own region in the IPHDA (International Performance Horse Development Association)!!! 

The IPHDA is a great way to develop a better broke horse, winning money and prizes along the way! Compete against riders in Germany, Australia, Canada, and all across America, without ever leaving Alaska!!
