Whats coming in 2026
Here’s where we’re headed in 2026 with IMHA: we’re expanding opportunities for mustangs like never before. IMHA is opening the door for mustangs to participate in a wide variety of shows—any event with established standards and a rulebook can be approved. To ensure fair and consistent judging, officials must hold an active IMHA judge card and current certification, credentials, or a judge’s card in the discipline being judged. This structure allows mustangs to compete under recognized standards while earning IMHA points across more events nationwide.

Applications Now Open
IMHA Professional Members are now eligible to apply for designation as an IMHA Mustang Professional (MP). The MP Program recognizes experienced, ethical professionals who are actively working with mustangs and committed to upholding IMHA’s Code of Ethics and Animal Welfare standards.
If you’re ready to take a leadership role within the IMHA community and help set the standard for mustang horsemanship, applications are now open.
