Health Requirements All Texas health requirements must be met. All horses are required to have a TWELVE MONTHS negative Coggins test for Equine Infectious Anemia and to have an official interstate health certificate valid within 45 days, giving an accurate description of each animal and signed by a licensed inspecting veterinarian. All out-of-state owners should have their veterinarian research and provide them with proper testing and certificates to attend the AMHA World Championship Show in Texas. In addition, all out-of-state owners should have their veterinarian research the health requirements for returning to their home state from Texas when acquiring their health certificate. Horses will be permitted to unload prior to the checking of health papers. However, all exhibitors are requested to not bring and unload horses that have questionable health or might possibly be experiencing a contagious health problem. All horses entering the Will Rogers facility must have appropriate Coggins and health certificate.

NOTE- Show Management may refuse permission for exhibiting to those horses that do not have correct/current health papers issued by a licensed veterinarian. The Show Veterinarian may check and monitor any and all horses coming to the AMHA World Show. State and Federal law prohibits the dispensing of medications by a veterinarian without examination of the animal patient(s) which will receive the medication(s). If exhibitors anticipate that a horse in their charge will need routine medications for the maintenance of a known illness or lameness or for symptomatic relief of a chronic, previously diagnosed lameness or illness, please contact your local veterinarian and obtain these prior to coming to the World Championship Show. 11

13 By law, Texas veterinarians are not licensed as dispensing pharmacies, and are therefore prohibited from dispensing medications in the absence of an examination of the animal for which the medication is needed. A separate examination fee will be charged for each animal, and any medication dispensed will be for the specific treatment of the animal examined. No exceptions will be made. Show Rules The 2017 AMHA World Championship Show is covered by the rules and class specifications listed in the AMHA Official Rulebook, plus any special rules and/or regulations outlined in this World Championship Show Premium Book, and will be conducted and adjudicated in accordance therewith. As outlined in GR-010, knowledge of the AMHA Show Rules and Regulations, as well as the requirements of each class entered, is each exhibitor's responsibility. Hoof Inspection Those horses randomly selected for drug testing at the 2017 AMHA World Show will also be subject to a hoof inspection to insure that no steps have been taken to enhance their movement through artificial means (i.e. weighting of hooves, etc.). At the request of show management, any entry maybe subject to a hoof inspection at any time. Any evidence of the use of an artificial appliance as referenced in GR-040-F shall result in disqualification of the horse exhibited and the designated party responsible for that horse from the show as approved by the Show Rules Committee and the Board of Directors of AMHA. Drug Testing A. The use of stimulants or depressants or any drug affecting the showing of a horse in halter or performance is strictly forbidden. EXCEPTION: The recommended dose of therapeutic medication necessary for treatment of an illness or injury per a written declaration of a currently licensed veterinarian. This declaration must be presented to the Show Management prior to the exhibition of that horse. When a positive drug test is received by the AMHA officials, the hearing procedure as set out in AMHA Rules and Regulations A will be followed. B. The rules as outlined below will be followed for the 2017 AMHA World Championship Show. As a condition for participation in the show, every owner, trainer and exhibitor agrees to submit any horse entered by same to inspection by a veterinarian appointed by the management and agrees to have such animal submitted to drug test. The Show specifically reserves the right to have tissue, blood, saliva or urine laboratory analysis made on any horse entered for competition. 1. Refusal of an owner, trainer or exhibitor to submit his/her horse for examination, or to cooperate with the testing veterinarian or his/her appointee, constitutes a violation of the drug testing regulation and subjects the owner, trainer or exhibitor to the same penalties as if a prohibited substance has been administered. Cooperation includes a polite attitude toward the veterinarian or his/her appointee. 2. The owner, trainer and exhibitor are responsible for a horse's condition and must be familiar with the regulations concerning prohibited substances. 3. If a horse requires a therapeutic medication which an owner, trainer or exhibitor feel might test positive for a prohibited substance, the following procedure should be followed: a. The medication must be administered by a licensed veterinarian or by his/her direction. 12

14 b. The veterinarian must write out the name of the medication, the diagnosis for which it was prescribed, and the dosage administered and dates and times of administration. If needed, these medication forms are available at the horse show office. c. The horse shall be named, and its color, age and sex recorded on the veterinarian's statement. The statement shall be signed by the veterinarian and the trainer, owner or exhibitor. d. A written statement signed by a veterinarian must be filed with the Show Manager at least one hour prior to exhibition of a horse in any class. No exceptions! e. The statement is to be signed by the Show Manager and the time and date the statement was received is to be recorded on the statement by the Show Manager. 4. When a positive drug test report is received by the AMHA Officials, the Hearing procedure as set out in AMHA Rules & Regulations will be followed. 5. If it is determined after a Hearing that there was a violation, then the owner, trainer and exhibitor will be subject to the following disciplinary actions: a. Forfeiture of all prizes, awards, trophies or title for that particular horse for the entire World Championship Show. b. Publication of the test results, the Hearing Board's findings and penalties in the Miniature Horse World. c. Suspension from showing in AMHA- approved shows for a period of time to be determined by the Hearing Board. This suspension may include the owner, trainer and exhibitor and the horse involved. d. A monetary fine of not less than $ or more than $1, for the first offense. e. Any awards, ribbons, trophies or titles forfeited because of the violation of this drug-testing regulation, shall be redistributed to the next horses in line, in order of their placement according to the judges' cards for the World Championship Show. f. Notification of the redistribution of awards shall be published in the Miniature Horse World and by mail to the recipients of such awards as soon as possible after the determination by the Hearing Board. 6. To offset the costs of drug testing, a fee of $10.00 per horse entered shall be charged by the AMHA. The Board of Directors as needed may revise this fee for future World Championship Shows. 7. Collection of samples for drug testing at the 2017 World Championship Show will be supervised and completed by the veterinarian staff of Dr. Wayne Howell. Samples will be sent for analysis and evaluation. Trainers/owners are urged to accompany the testing personnel and the animal during the time that samples are collected, labeled, and sealed, and to serve as witness to these procedures. In the event he or she is unwilling or unable to do so, the trainer/owner is urged to appoint an agent to serve as witness to these procedures. Failure to witness these procedures, and/or failure to appoint an agent to do so, precludes a trainer/owner from subsequently challenging the identity of the horse from which samples were collected, or the procedures employed in collecting, labeling, or sealing the samples. Judging System The World Championship Show will use teams of three AMHA carded judges on each panel, all of whom were approved by the Licensed Officials Committee. All three of the judges cards/scores will be used to determine class winners. If a tie results, the call judges placing will be used to break all 13

15 ties. If a tie still results from the first call judge s card, the tabulation moves to the second call judge, then third until all ties have been resolved. Three of the judges will be selected to judge all Youth classes, three will judge the Amateur Classes, World Championship Hunter Futurity and some Specialty Classes, and remaining three judges will adjudicate all Open Classes, the World Championship Driving Futurities, and the balance of the Specialty Classes. The Halter Futurity classes will be judged by three judges (two from the Amateur Panel and one from the Open Panel). For computer tabulation horses placing under each judge will receive the following points: 1st place - 10 points 2nd place - 9 points 3rd place - 8 points 4th place - 7 points 5th place - 6 points 6th place - 5 points 7th place - 4 points 8th place - 3 points 9th place - 2 points 10th place - 1 point All classes will be judged once using the computer accumulated tabulation system, mentioned in the paragraph above. Futurity Judging System The World Championship Futurities will use a team of three judges. Computer tabulations of judges' cards will be the only method used to determine winners. Scores earned by each horse from the three tallying judges will be added together to give the total score for each horse/exhibitor. The call judges' placing will be used to break all ties. If a tie still results from the first call judge's card, the tabulation moves on t o the second call judge, then the third call judge, etc. until all ties are resolved and the horses/exhibitors placed. Class results and tabulations will be posted for exhibitor/spectator review as soon after judging as possible. For computer tabulation placings, see "Judging System. Dress/Attire Evening sessions and the World Championship Futurities are designated as formal. Appropriate evening formal attire is suggested but not mandatory for all exhibitors. Exhibitors must abide by all attire rules in the AMHA Rule Book. Daily Results Class Sheets Daily Results Class Sheets for evening classes may be posted the next morning. Judge Evaluation Reports Judges Evaluation Reports will be available in the Show Office, and may be completed on a voluntary basis. Show Breaks Exhibitors should note that there are a limited number of daily breaks listed within the show schedule. However, Show Management reserves the right to re-schedule these breaks as necessary. Additional breaks or rescheduling of breaks will be announced as deemed proper according to the progress of the show. However, IN NO CASE will sessions start earlier than scheduled within the show class list. There will be no refunds for missed classes. It is the responsibility of the exhibitor to be on the grounds and ready to show on t he day and time of his or her scheduled classes (GR-045-B). The Show 14

16 Manager will be the sole person authorized to schedule breaks. Split Classes Class splits for Halter Classes will be determined at the discretion of the Show Manager; however, it is mandatory that all halter classes be split at forty-five (45). Ref: WS-025 B. Driving classes will be split by show management for safety according to the class involved and show arena size. Show management will also determine the number of driving horses each judge should select, from each class split, to return for the class finals. Refer to AMHA Show Rules CL-030-E and WS-025-C. If final run is immediately after the splits, the paddock master will separate and send Split A into the ring followed by Split B with the two-minute gate rule being strictly enforced. The horses in each split will be posted at least one (1) hour prior to the class. Split classes will be divided at random by a computer. NOTE: All horses must compete in the split assigned and posted from the computer print out. Horses violating this mandate may be disqualified from competing in the class. Note: At the discretion of the AMHA Show Management the Final Go of any split driving class may be shown at a later time in the show, but will be held on the same day of the original class Order of Go At the discretion of the management of the World Championship and Championship Shows, random go orders may be generated by the computer for judging any classes, both performance and halter. Reference: WS-027. In each class where individual work occurs (Liberty, Hunter, Jumper, Obstacle Driving, Halter Obstacle, etc.) the computer will be used to randomly create an order of go for the class. Exhibitors should obey the established order of go and be at the gate ready for exhibiting their horse when their number is called by the Paddock Master. Order of go for all Futurity classes will be posted by 9:00 P.M. the evening prior to the class. Two-Minute Gate The two-minute gate rule (GR-045-B) will be followed.

Tack Changes A maximum time period of three minutes after the completion of the preceding class will be allowed for tack changes. Tack changes MUST BE REQUESTED IN ADVANCE or the two-minute gate rule (GR-045-B) will apply. All tack changes must be made in the holding area/make-up ring and must be pre-scheduled with the Paddock Master. All equipment needed to make the change must be brought to the holding area/make-up ring.

24 Measuring It is mandatory for all exhibitors to present either the original or a color photocopy (both sides) of their horse's AMHA registration papers to the Official Measurer at the World Championship Show. Any horse not having such registration identification available for the Official Measurer's examination will not be measured and thus, not permitted to exhibit at the World Championship Show. There will be a $20 fee for any copies of Registration papers requested from the AMHA office. All Horses Must Be Measured or present a valid Regional or Permanent measuring card. For 2017, yearling, two-year-old and senior horses will be eligible for the Regional measuring card. The Measuring Officials will supervise measurements. Measuring will take place in a d esignated area of Cattle Barn 2. Rules GR-020 and WS-028 will be followed. Note: Measuring Policies AMHA will video all measuring. After the horse is set up for measuring by the handler, said handler may not touch horse, i.e. stretching head up/forward; moving feet; touching back or pressing down on any part of the back until the measurer removes the measuring stick. Ref: GR-020-E Also present at measuring for Championship and World Championship Shows will be an AMHA measuring observer who will be responsible for viewing all measuring and informing measurer of any problems with the stance of the horse being measured. Measuring officials will be present for measuring on: Thursday, August 24-9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friday, August 25-9:00 a.m. 8:00 p.m. Saturday, August 26 - Sunday, August 27-8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday, August 28 Tuesday, August 29-8:00 a.m. to noon Wednesday, August 30 - Friday, September 1 By Appointment Only (Schedule with Show Office) LUNCH BREAKS - Noon - 1:00 P.M.

All horses arriving after Friday, August 25 must be measured the day before competing in their first class. Refer to sections GR-020 and WS-028 in the AMHA Official Rule Book for measuring information. A measuring stick as outlined in GR-020-B will be used for measuring. SHOW RULES CLARIFICATIONS Show Rules Clarification of GR-050 Protests After research and review, the 2009 Show Rules Committee has unanimously agreed on the following interpretation of GR-050. T he AMHA 2009 B oard of Directors voted in agreement with the Show Rules Committee in December of E ffective January 1, 2010 t he following paragraph will be strictly adhered to. Show Rules Clarification of GR-050 Protests: An AMHA horse that does not measure within required height constraints for its age group at a show 23

25 cannot be protested in attempt for further measurement to enter the show. GR-050 pertains to horses in a show and does not apply to horses that do not meet qualification. Under GR-050 horses that have qualified and been accepted in a show can only be protested one time, per show, for a height challenge. Show Rules Committee Clarification of GR-020 At every AMHA Sanctioned Show GR-020 must be posted at the measuring site with a qualifying statement as follows: The Official Show Measurer will not attempt to measure the horse until the handler has set the horse, per Show Rule GR-020, and is positioned near the horse, in a kneeling or standing position, not touching the horse with any part of his/her body, and advises the measurer the horse is ready to be measured. The Official Measurer will then attempt to measure the horse. D uring the measuring process, if the handler touches the horse, the attempt to measure will be stopped, and the handler will be advised the horse cannot be touched during the measuring process. PROCEDURES FOR MEASURING CARDS FOR SENIOR HORSES AT REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWS. 1. The AMHA Office shall provide measurement cards (a different color for each championship show) to Championship Show Management. 2. At measuring, each yearling, two-year-old and senior horse requesting a measurement card for the World Show shall have one completed by the measuring staff based on the measurement at that Championship Show. (This includes yearlings and two-year-olds for 2017 only.) 3. Measurements will also be made on the Official Height List which will be mailed to AMHA at the conclusion of the show. 4. Before receiving their number, exhibitors with horses with Senior Measurement Cards must bring the horse to the measuring area with a copy of its registration papers and coggins and health papers to have the horse checked against the papers by the measuring team and to be logged into the measurement book. T he horses will step onto the measuring platform and their back number and recorded height will be announced and recorded by the camera and on the log sheet. The measurement team will "sign off" on the card as having seen the appropriate papers and health requirements and the exhibitor can take the card to the office for their number. 5. Loss of your measurement card will require that you be re-measured at the AMHA World Show. AMHA Booth Visit the AMHA Booth in the Richardson-Bass Building inside the John Justin Show Arena.

The Request for Payment form attached to the back of the non-negotiable check must be filled out and left at the AMHA booth or mailed to AMHA headquarters in order for payment to be made.

Classes will no longer be combined. Visit the Gelding Incentive page online at for the list of specific GIF classes. Please note that some Open Division classes are now eligible for the GIF. Geldings that have not been nominated for the GIF may also compete in these classes for World Show titles. However, only nominated Geldings will be eligible to receive GIF awards. Geldings may be nominated for GIF by submitting the approved AMHA form found in the premium or online with a non-refundable $50 nomination fee at anytime up to the close of entries (July 25, 2017) for the World Show. Nominations postmarked after the close of entries will be accepted up to the start of the first official class of the World Show for a non-refundable late nomination fee of $100. A single fee nominates the gelding for any and all GIF classes in which he is entered. All nomination fees are included in the GIF payout fund and are not specified by class or division. 26

28 For payouts, the GIF fund will be allocated to Youth (15%), Amateur/AOTE (42.5%) and Open (42.5%). A total payout per class is calculated based on the number of classes in the division. The class payout amount will then be proportionately distributed to the top six nominated Geldings per their order of finish in the class provided they place within the top ten of the class. Nominated Geldings not placing in the top ten are ineligible to receive GIF awards. Therefore, it is possible that fewer than six places will be paid for a class. Any undistributed payouts will be returned to the GIF fund for distribution the following year. A nominated horse exhibited by a youth must be owned by that youth or an immediate family member as defined in YD-010-C. All YOTE rules apply to be eligible YOTE class.
