AMHR YOUTH Membership

[SweetOpal]

Hello all, just want to give a brief reminder since show season is just upon us!

A new rule was passed at the 07 Convention regarding the youth membership. All youth exhibitors must have a youth card and it must be renewed yearly in order to show in ANY youth class at a Sanctioned AMHR/ASPC show. The cards are now FREE of charge but have to be renewed yearly. So if you or your children have one that says its good until they are 18 years of age, this is no longer the policy, they have to renew that card this year and every year after.

Please see the Registry web site and download your form and get it mailed in ASAP. They will also be available from the steward at the show for those unexpected out of town visitors

Thank you for your time, Jennifer Radoi

I do understand that we have to renew cards but let me tell you I think this is ridiculous. Our dues were upped for expenses part of which was paperwork and this just creates more. If they had passed the darn rule that all youth HAVE a membership to show this would not have happened and would have made it easier to track the youth. The reason it was brought up was because its nearly impossible to track the youth if they have qualified for nationals. All they had to do was require youth to be a member to show ten bucks for a membership till they are 18 is a great deal. There are going to be kids that slip through the cracks on this one because not everyone is going to remember to renew. :arg!

I hadn't heard of this. My daughter has a jr.membership and has a few horses registered in her name. She does her own paperwork and she does not show. Since she doesn't show, does she still have to get a renewal? She just sent in her stallion report for last year...is it now no good since she didn't renew?
