(Amended 02-12, effective 01-13)) WS-028 MEASUREMENT OF HORSES A. Once show officials have followed the rules for measuring the horse (GR-020) and the horse has been measured, the measurement becomes the official height for that show and is not protestable once the horse enters the ring. The height of the horse will be posted three (3) hours prior to the horse entering the ring. If any horse is shown where measurement was not posted (unless through show management error) in accordance with the above, its height can be protested up to one hour after its class is completed. If a protest is filed, the procedures for protest as outlined in GR-050 must be followed. B. If a horse shows in two (2) different height classes during the World qualifying period and at the World Championship Show the horse measures in the taller height class, the horse must have the required number of points of the taller height class to be able to compete at the World Championship Show. Points may be accumulated and combined in all height classes throughout the World qualifying period to qualify for the higher height class, but may not be used to qualify for a lower height class than the class in which the points were earned.
