Measuring
It is mandatory for all exhibitors to present
either the original or a color photocopy (both
sides) of their horse’s AMHA registration
papers to the Official Measurer at the World
Championship Show. Any horse not having
such registration identification available for
the Official Measurer’s examination will not
be measured and thus, not permitted to
exhibit at the World Championship Show.
There will be a $20 fee for any copies of
Registration papers requested from the
AMHA office.
All Horses Must Be Measured or present
a valid Regional or Permanent measuring
card. For 2018, yearling, two-year-old and
senior horses will be eligible for the Regional
measuring card. The Measuring Officials will
supervise measurements. Measuring will take
place in a designated area of Cattle Barn 3.
Rules GR-020 and WS-028 will be followed.
