Grand and Reserve Champion Performance Horse***(nonpointed)
*In Youth only shows, the stallion halter class shall not
be offered: it may be replaced by a Showmanship or other
recognized AMHA Youth class.
**First and second place winners from the stallion, mare and
gelding halter classes.
***Based on points earned, as per the AMHA rule book
regarding horses actually competing, in offered performance
classes.
Additional classes, such as Youth and/or Amateur in Open
shows, may be added at the discretion of the show manager,
so long as such classes do not extend the show beyond the
one-day time period.
As per AMHA show rules, no horse shall be penalized if it is
shown without clipping and/or balding.
For the purpose of recording points, show managers “must”
provide the AMHA office with accurate information on
the age and height of all horses to ensure awarding AMHA
points in the appropriate halter/performance classes. It
is recommended this be accomplished by requiring the
exhibitor to indicate on all entry forms those classes for
which the horse qualifies for points as listed in the AMHA
rule book. (Amended 02-11, effective 01-12)
E. Amateur and/or Youth Shows: Shows applying for Amateur/
Youth Show approval may offer only Amateur and Youth
classes. Only these classes will garner AMHA points.
Qualifications for exhibitors would be the same as stated
in AM-010 and YD-010. (See PA-030 D & PA-030 E for
recognized point classes.) (Amended 11-23-02, effective 0103)
G. Show must be open to all AMHA registered horses and
owners who are in good standing.
H. Entry fee must be specified and any class without an entry
fee so stated. No change in entry fee will be permitted
