Updates needed to results

edit

The results section near the end is badly outdated, and the link to the source leads just to a website's home page, with the information referenced behind a paywall. An alternate source should be used, and so far I can't find one. Maybe someone familiar with the show can help. Realkyhick (talk) 18:18, 20 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'm having trouble finding recent stuff as well. It's made harder by the fact that they name several different World Champions in different divisions (as opposed to one ultimate champion), and most of the sources that cover the show, like The Saddle Horse report, aren't online. However, this has happened to similar horse show articles, and in a couple of cases it was solved by creating a list article (titled List of Foo National Champions or whatever) separately from the main show article and finding a source for each animal's win. (See Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration and List of World Grand Champion Tennessee Walking Horses for an example. After a lot of looking, I did find individual refs for each horse that has won the title, from its inception in 1939 to last year's winner.) Maybe move the section to a sandbox and work on finding refs and the more recent horses? White Arabian Filly Neigh 20:19, 20 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
Horse show results are very difficult to track, as there are so many. I'd at least to the chart so the years are on the vertical axis and the classes horizontal. And yes, "list of foo" articles are good. For example, Kentucky Derby top four finishers. Montanabw(talk) 22:01, 20 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Parking here. *http://www.saddleandbridle.com/news-events/341-asha-announces-position-on-wchs By the way, I'm planning to rewrite the currently crappy table of winners in my sandbox within the next week or two and copy it here, replacing the current one for something easier to read.
