We have only shown AMHR so far, including AMHR Nationals. From what I see and I've been learning though, they are really very similar in quality but we happen to have many AMHR shows within a reasonable distance of us and only a few AMHA shows, so that plays a part, and also we have three B size horses that we show that of course can only do AMHR shows. I am also very comfortable with AMHR and the way things are done and just don't know much about the AMHA shows and way of doing things.
Our entire family shows our horses and it is difficult enough as it is to get away in September for ONE national show. My kids miss a week of school right at the beginning of the year, and my husband, who is a sports writer and radio personality really has to juggle (and do a lot of work long distance) because he isaway at Nationals right when the NFL season is starting up and MLB season is going into the final stretch of the baseball season, along with all the drama that continually pops up in the sporting world in the fall. There is NO WAY we could leave again and go to the World Show after already being gone for so long at the AMHR Nationals so we have to make a choice. We also go to the World Pinto Show in June and between that, the AMHR and PtHA shows in the summer and the AMHR Nationals in September we are plenty busy.
