In my experience and those I have spoken with the difference is simple up to and over 1 inch.Whats the difference last hair (which is the dumbest thing I had ever heard about coming from large equine) or base of the withers.
YES! THAT would be the only FAIR way to ensure EVERYONE gets to vote on what they believe in!!I am not fond of either of the AMHA rule changes.. My suggestion would be to send out a ballot with proposed changes to all members along with their renewal of membership each yr. This way we would all have a voice in what comes down.
They never "measured" the same before! As I have stated here I have a filly that "grew" an inch in one month going from an A to an R show because the requirements are that she had to be under 32" at A for her age and under 33" at R. So according to the stewards at those shows she was under 32 at the A show and a month later just under 33 for the R show! It's all going to rely on who's doing the measuring and the pressure that's put on them!.................... So now the A measures at one stupid place and the R measures at another stupid place.
Kay, you took the words right out of my mouth...she does a great job at everything she does!!kaykay Posted Today, 08:08 PM I just want to applaud Jodi for her thankless job of always trying to answer AMHA questions when these threads come up!!! Not many people step up to the plate like Jodi does in trying her best to answer peoples questions on LB.
I will have to correct your statement , as AMHR did and still does measure at the "" OTHER STUPID PLACE"" THE LAST HAIR OF THE MANE.They never "measured" the same before!

Yes, but what about those horses who win AMHA Championships and then go on to win AMHR OVER Championships? That doesn't make sense to me, but it happens.The notion of AMHA being afraid that the AMHR horses will beat them is ridiculous. We have had the same horses do well - Championships etc. in AMHA - and then do equally as well in AMHR Under... Championships again. HORRORS! OH!
