Everybody join in and add comments about the Shetlands (and the Minis) that you might not have known about until you read the rules or talked with somebody at the Registry.
I learned from a friend that called the Registry that Foundation Certification applies to all ponies that qualify, even if they are 46" tall. However, they cannot show in Foundation classes if they are over 42" tall.
The following comments are from the Rule Book:
Ponies are eligible for registration until Dec. 31 of the year in which they become three (3) years of age. Geldings are eligible until Dec. 31 of the year in which they become five (5) years of age.
A pony measured out as a Shetland but desiring to compete in ASPR as a result of that measurement may apply for registration at a sanctioned show with an ASPC/AMHR licensed steward and is eligible to compete once the application is completed and fee paid to said official.
A Gelding Certificate must be completed and turned in with the registration application when registering as a gelding. Gelding Status must be on the ASPC/AMHR registration paper for the animal to be shown in a gelding class.
A name change for Shetlands or Miniatures will be accepted by the Registry only with permission from the breeder, and provided there is no registered progeny or show record and the proper fee is submitted.
