From the Office Well Christmas is upon us and I really have no idea where 2014 has gone, so I guess I must have been busy and the time has flown by. The South Islanders have already had a couple of shows and the North Islands first show will be done and dusted by the time you receive this Chatter, I am so gutted that I couldn t enter, due to my dad s 80 th birthday, most of you have meet my dad, so you ll know how special it is for me to get down South and spend his special day with him, but I reckon he would have actually preferred to be up here at a cutting show. Futurity entries should also be rolling in to Julie by now and from what I ve seen and heard, we have some lovely horses to look forward to. Wishing you all a very successful show season, a wonderful Christmas and prosperous New Year. Karen Presidents Report Christmas is just around the corner so Christmas wishes to you all and an awesome New Year. Our season has kick started with training clinics and shows and organisation for the rest of the season is under control. On a personal note a big thank you from Colin and I to the Central South CH Club for inviting us to judge and help at their show at Mt Aitken. See you at a show Helen.

However, the NZCHA has the right to add, alter or delete further rules which do not comply with the New Zealand conditions. As per the NZCHA Constitution rule 16: The NZCHA Council shall have full power to direct and manage all affairs of the Association and from time to time as they think fit to make alter or repel any by-laws for the good government thereof provided always that no by-law shall be inconsistent with any of the General Rules. Rule 17: The decision of the Council on the construction of or interpretation of any Rule or By-Law shall be conclusive and binding on all members or the Association until set aside or varied a specially convened meeting of the Association All references to Australia or Commonwealth of Australia now mean New Zealand All references to NCHA now mean NZCHA Any references to an Australian place now mean a place as designated by the NZCHA OFFICERS: THE NZCHA IS RUN ACCORDING TO THE NZCHA Constitution.

Professional trainers will not be eligible to compete in Snafflebit classes. Points won in a Snafflebit class will accumulate to determine a competitors eligibility for that class, but will not count towards LTE or the status of the Rider. Money earned in Snafflebit classes will be applied to all future classes. Once a rider who is eligible to compete in Snafflebit classes competes in a Non Pro class or Novice/Open horse class, that rider is no longer eligible to compete in a Snafflebit class. Points earned whilst competing on a day fee will also be included for eligibility purposes. The burden of proof of eligibility will be on the competitor. There is a limit of two horses that may be ridden in this class; however only the points from the highest earning horse will count towards high point awards. Committee may have added money or jackpot events however points will be tabulated for area high point s standings. Horses may be shown using one or two hands on bridle reins. Twisted wire snaffles, gag snaffles or shank snaffles shall not be used. Snaffle bits are to be a minimum of 10mm (3/8 ) and have a smooth single jointed mouthpiece.
