No, I would not be interested any more.
The very first show we ever attended with our miniatures was an AMHA show at Midland Michigan. We showed there & then at the Eastern regionals show-- the Julep Cup, Holley, New York etc. -- for 3 years ---then the AMHA brought out a new "rule" -- you had to attend a local show to get to go to the Eastern Regional show-- you could ask for exemption if there were no shows close to you. I did this in March of the year it came into effect -- my letter was passed around to this one & that one & I got a very rude phone call from one gentleman?? who told me that was what I got for "choosing" to live in Canada.
Then, 2 weeks before you had to have your money in for the Eastern Regional, I got a letter telling me I could attend-- now, who has time to get their horses ready for something you have been led to believe you can't attend.
Then, the AMHR shows started up in Ontario & we switched to showing AMHR & are quite happy with the results.
Tony, (himself)but never the AMHA office offered an apology & was sure I could now apply for the exemption & get it. BUT, once you change directions, not often do you reverse -- especially when you are very pleased with the reuslt of the change.
So, no I would not show AMHA in Midland even if it was in conjuction with an AMHR show because it would not have any benefit & is quite costly.
We do still double register all of our foals -- but I would no longer buy just an AMHA horse unless it was something VERY special indeed.
Just my humble and very personal opinion.
