AMHA rule book question

Riverrose28 · Apr 9, 2013

Help! I don't have a current rule book and have a question. Last year I bought a yearling colt with the intention of having him gelded to be shown by my grand children. He just dropped fully last week. I have entered him in the two year old stallion classes for our first show April 19. I plan on having him gelded when we get back. If he earns any points at this show, then they be transfered to him if he shows in the gelding classes for the rest of the year?

Here is a link to the AMHA rule book: http://www.amha.org/rulebook/AMHA-RuleBook.pdf

I looked through the show rules and section on points, etc. and didn't see that specifically addressed (but I was just skimming) starting on pg 154. You might want to give AMHA office a call.

Thanks Jean, with my dial up it would take hours to load the rulebook. I think I'll ask Laura at the show. Or maybe they'll have a current rule book mine is very outdated.

From the rule book:

Pg 171, WS-030 Sec D

Points earned as a stallion for World qualification will carry over

to geldings qualification should the horse be gelded. This does not

apply for Honor Roll Awards.

Honor roll points are per horse per class/division. So points earned as a stallion will only apply to stallion hi point. Points earned as a gelding = gelding hi point.
