In no case, however, shall a smaller horse be placed over a
larger horse with better conformation.
F. No whips, lighters, crops, or any other device(s) detrimental
to the well-being of the horse shall be allowed in halter
classes. Evidence of any inhumane treatment to a horse, in
or out of the show ring, shall result in disqualification of
that horse and that exhibitor for the balance of that show
and shall result in the forfeiture of all trophies, ribbons,
awards, and points for that show. AMHA shall be notified of
any such disqualifications by the show manager when show
results are reported. (see GR-045-F)
G. No youth 12 years of age and under may show stallions with
the exception of weanling and yearling colts. See YD-010-F.
H. It is of utmost importance that judges realize that there are
several types of Miniature Horses and that in each class the
horses are to be judged as to the best horse of all types to be
the winner. They should not be prejudiced to the horse of
his/her background.
I. Dress - It is the tradition of the show ring that handlers be
correctly attired for the classes. Appropriate dress shall not
include shorts, T-shirts or open-toed shoes. Management
may at its discretion bar any entry or person from entering
the ring if not suitably dressed to appear before an audience.
