Good Morning,
Unlike the miniature division which you have to qualify under four judges at two different shows to go to Mini Nationals, you don't qualify for Shetland Congress as this show isn't as big as Mini Naitonals.
South Dakota is in Area 6 (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, balance of Ontario and Manitoba, Canada.)
You can check the ASPC/AMHR website: www.shetlandminiature.com
go to the events (the left side bar) click on that icon and it will pull up all of the shows from January to November. You can scan that list to see when and where any shows are held in the US.
