I am trying to read, digest, and understand the ASPC section of the rulebook. I now own two ASPC registered ponies, and IF I ever show them in pony classes I am trying to figure out what classification they are.
My AMHR/ASPC filly seems VERY refined and extreme although she is Foundation certified. But according to the rulebook Foundation ponies are supposed to have more bone and substance than the Classic. So is she Foundation on paper but not in type for show purposes?
My AMHR/ASPC stallion also seems to be way too upright and refined to be a Classic... but a Modern??? Do Modern shetlands need to have some denotation on their papers, or what??? What makes a Modern? Simply type alone? My stallion, from what I am reading, seems to be a Modern Pleasure pony (not straight Modern as he is not that extreme).
Please help me understand, is it simply a perceived variation in TYPE that makes the horse a Modern vs. a Classic??? I understand the Foundation thing clearly, but not the Modern vs. Classic.
I come from an AMHR background... is it like the difference of deciding if your horse is Country or Pleasure? They are what you make them to be?
Thank you, I am sure I will come up with more questions as I read along...
