What classes count toward hall of fame points? I was once told only open classes count toward hall of fame, but I just checked records with AMHR and I have hall of fame points after showing in ammy classes.

Also, while I'm asking this question, how do all star points work?
 
Thought I would just copy From Rule Book

– ASPC/AMHR/ASPR Hall of Fame

A. To recognize and give permanent, lifetime

championship status to the breed’s greatest show

horses and producers of show horses, the

ASPC/AMHR/ASPR administers and maintains the

ASPC/AMHR/ASPR Hall of Fame. Based on a point

system, the Hall of Fame is not to be confused with

the ASPC/AMHR/ASPR National All-Star Awards

(the two systems are separate and are in no way

connected or associated). Sires and dams of Hall of

Fame horses are also recognized by becoming

Superior sires and dams.

B. Hall of Fame scoring is determined by points earned at

all ASPC/AMHR/ASPR approved shows. Points

credited to each animal take into consideration not

only the actual placing in a class, but the number of

entries in the class. Hall of Fame points are cumulative

and stay with the horse throughout his/or her entire

life. (Example: a horse or pony may receive 40 points

as a yearling but not show again until it is ten years

old. All points won as a ten-year-old are added to the

40 points already accumulated, so he/she would only

lack 30 points to reach Hall of Fame status.)

C. To achieve Hall of Fame status, a Shetland, Miniature

or Show Pony must score 70 points in Halter or

Performance, and the show record must include five

Grand Champion wins with competition (one must be

won as a 2 year old or older), or five performance

Championship/Stake wins with competition. A horse

could achieve Hall of Fame recognition in both Halter

and Performance if the requirements are fulfilled for

both. (Special provisions exist for performance

categories for which there are no championships.

Exception: A horse shown only as a hunter and wins a

total of 70 Hall of Fame points in hunter classes but

because no hunter championship is offered, at the

328

recommendation of the National office, he can achieve

Hall of Fame status in that division.)

D. Hall of Fame points are not given for Model, Amateur,

Color or any other classes that are not preliminary for

championships.

E. In the performance division, only one preliminary

class, in addition to a stake, will be counted (the

placing resulting in the highest number of points.) For

example: if a pony or horse places first in Ladies

Pleasure Driving with six entries, it would earn two

points. The same animal placing second in Open

Pleasure driving class of 16 entries would earn five

points. Thus, the points earned in the Open class

would be counted.

F. A mare is designated as a Superior Dam when she has

produced two Hall of Fame offspring and a stallion

becomes a Superior Sire when he has six Hall of Fame

offspring.

G. In order for a pony or horse to receive Hall of Fame

points, as with other national honors, the owner must

be a current member in good standing with the

ASPC/AMHR. This rule applies to youth exhibitors as

well.

H. Triple Hall of Fame points, but only one Grand

Championship will be awarded at National Area

shows, AMHR Nationals, and ASPC Congress.

Is the quote above only true for halter?

I showed in Ammy hunter, jumper, and country pleasure and now have hall of fame points in those classes.

I have never gotten HOF points in ammy classes, so I'm not sure what's up? Maybe a glitch? Happens a lot with the online show results

My understanding although I could be wrong is that when the performance class has no championships

like Hunter, Jumper Versatility, Liberty ( I think those are all classes you can HOF in) if you show the horse at one show in say Open, Ammy and Youth hunter they will not give you the points for ALL of the classes done at a single show but will take the ONE class you would receive the most points for at that one show and apply them to your HOF .
 
I have received HOF points in like Obstacle for example in Amateur and when I was a youth also.

I have received points in both open and amatetur classes in one show in Obstacle.

I do not think you do get any points in Amature or Youth if you show them in halter, but in performance classes (including driving) I have received points in both amateur and youth.
 
If you go to shetlandminiature.com you can click the tab for show results, then AMHR results. That will take you to a page where you can put in your horse,s registration number and find hall of fame life to date points for that horse.
 
Steph, you'd be best off contacting AMHR on how Ammy points work.

My understanding of Youth points is that all Performance points the Youth earns goes to the HOF points, however Halter points don't go to the horses HOF unless it is shown in Open. I also know that Color class does not have a HOF in AMHR so no points will be collected in that class no matter what division you show them in.

Hope this helps out some

I can only tell you for HOF in halter obstacle: you will receive points for Open, Ammy and Youth. You get points in each division, even if shown at the same show.
 
It's not really a big deal to me. I have been to two shows now. At the first show I went to, I only showed in Ammy classes accept for 2 yo mares and versatility. Then I was told about the HOF thing and decided to only show in Open at the next one. I can't afford to do both so I figured if one was worth points and the other wasn't, then I would just go for points.

So, now I'm thinking if I get points in Ammy performance classes too, then I'm going to stick with that.

Thanks everybody for your help
