Article XI, New Section 4 and 4-A, Registration Certificates, page 25 765
Submitted by: Richard Sievert
Add New Section as below and renumber accordingly
Premier (this term may be changed if the committee agrees that it should be)
To qualify for a Premier Certificate, a five (5) plus miniature horse must meet all requirements for Permanent Registration and will then (at owner’s option) be measured by three (3) AMHA Certified Measurers. All three (3) measurers must individually measure and record their measurements. All measurements nine (9) are to be taken at the same place and time. All nine (9) of the measurements will be averaged after eliminating the highest and lowest measurement. If the horse then qualifies; it will receive a “Premier” Registration Certificate. The horse must also have a microchip implanted and that number reported by each measurer.
Add New Section 4-A
The Premium Certificate will be the final measurement ever required for this horse.
Rationale: This will provide a certified, permanent height and the horse will not have to be measured again. Further the microchip will provide immediate and accurate identification. This does not protect the horse from height protest.
