This is regards to the changing of the measuring methods. It was voted on and passed, by a 2/3 majority vote. 60 some people of the less than 100 in attendance voted for it. As of January 2009, the rules will read:
Article XI, Section 4, page 24 #776
Permanent certificates of registration shall be issued to qualified Miniature Horses who have attained the actual age of five (5) years, and measures thirty-four (34) inches or less in height, measured at the base of the witherslast hairs of the mane while standing squarely on a level surface, and have met all the requirements of the Association.
Note: This will also change GR-030-E (sent to Show Rules) and the Standard of Perfection

We are URGING EVERYONE that is opposed to this new measuring change, to email your director(s)!
We ARE being heard!
And we are being told to keep the heat on! We need all the help we can get if we are to succeed with this! So, we are urging you to write to your directors! Tell them what you don't agree with. State calmly your feelings. State why you feel the new measuring system will not work, or why it won't do the job as intended. Ask what plans were put in place BEFORE this new bylaw passed, to take into consideration the problems listed below.
MANY of us at all levels of the AMHA (members and board members) are VERY frustrated and we need answers! We need to keep the pressure on, and let it be known that we are NOT willing to just
, roll over and play dead. We are going to keep this very much alive , BUT, there is strength in numbers, and we need YOUR support to be heard. MAKE YOUR VOICE COUNT!!! YOU have your chance to be heard! Don't just stop with writing your Director...also, send letters to the AMHA main office, and strongly encourage the person receiving the letter, to be sure they share it with all other staff and BOD! When you go to shows, meetings etc. this year, continue to bring this up and voice your opinions. Continue to let your show management know how you feel, continue to let your directors know how you feel each and every time you see them....DON'T LET IT DIE!
Here are a few thoughts that you may want to point out to them when writing your letter...
This NEW RULE WILL ALSO CAUSE…
- All horses registered now in AMHA to have WRONG measurements on their papers.
- People guessing at where to measure, since even the professionals(vets, etc.) don't seem to know!
- AMHA and AMHR horses to measure different
- Taller horses will be allowed into AMHA
and so much more confusion, Confusion CONFUSION!!!
Your letter does not have to be fancy...just write one stating how you feel. Please don't EVER feel or think that what you have to say is not important, or that you do not have the ability to compose a well-written letter. Just speak/write from your heart...it will still get your feelings across!!
PLEASE, WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS WORK! (YES, I am BEGGING!)
