            Equine Sports Council is pleased to announce that horse shows within our sanctioning 
network may also elect to be an American Saddlebred Horse and Breeder’s Association 
“Star Show”. 
“ESC has always been about choices, and in keeping with that core value, we wanted 
shows within our network to have the option to also be an ASHBA Star show so that the 
horses and the members are eligible for CH points and year-end awards,” said Jackie Hale. 
Smith Lilly, ASHBA Board President, stated, “[I appreciate ESC] being collaborative and 
finding a path to give shows good options. I am sure we can and will continue to work 
together productively.”
