The above WPSS Committee have agreed that it is in the best interest of the WPSS program to bring ideas and plans to guide the stallion owners that will enhance the Western Pleasure Horse industry. The Committee has strong resolution that the resulting money collected this year as in following years will be distributed to the offspring of any of the Western Pleasure Super Sires and that it should be a Non-Pro event at a highly rated show. The Committee will present to the WPSS stallion owners ideas that will ultimately go to the WPSS Stallion Owners for voting in which the majority will decide and govern the rules.
