What happens when an AMHR - B measures over the 38" max? Are papers no good then? Can ofspring still be registered? Can a person apply to the Shetland Pony Registry?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
If you have a AMHR only mini, who is over 38", then yes, it is now "unregistered". However, as long as the horse is never shown, then you can use them in your breeding program to cross with smaller to get "minis" BUT this is not really legal, although many do do it.What happens when an AMHR - B measures over the 38" max? Are papers no good then? Can ofspring still be registered? You would think....Can a person apply to the Shetland Pony Registry? No. ASPC is a BREED. Some miniatures are AMHR/ASPC. Thanks in advance!
You are SOL pretty much. Your AMHR horse becomes a grade mini however that does not mean they are useless. I personally would turn in papers but they can still be used for driving, open shows, 4-H, parades- ADSWhat happens when an AMHR - B measures over the 38" max?
But what if they aren't going to be just height breeds any more, then what? Some people believe the Minis should become "real" breeds and--like the Shetlands for instance--keep their papers no matter what size they grow to.If AMHA and AMHR are going to be "height" breeds,
Sorry, but if people were truly being honest about heights they would have measured at the withers rather than at the last mane hair! And being vigilant about keeping under size would have been more impressive if they wouldn't have been attempting to achieve their goal by breeding dwarves in so many cases.people were being honest about heights and vigilant about keeping under size.
The only problem with this, as we are a "height" breed, you'd have to wait 4 yearsPerhaps the "Overs" could be given Breeding Papers on the basis if they can produce foals within the standards? I know that some breeds have something similar. If a mare or stallion is "borderline" acceptable, they allow them a breeding season and then inspect the foals. If the resulting foals are good quality and meet the standards, the mare or stallion is allowed to have "Breeding Papers" to produce registered offspring.
