Local District Responsibility:

Show Manager

District management should appoint a Show Manager. The Show Manager is responsible for the overall operation of the horse shows put on in your district. The Show Manager's success depends greatly on their ability to choose the proper people to discharge the duties that are needed for each of the operations involved in running a horse show. The Show Manager should stay in constant contact with each of these people to ensure that their phase of the show is well prepared and will be successful.

The Show Manager is responsible for all show activities outside of the booth, and plays a major role in the success of each district.
