Rulebook Changes

1. Correct trot and lope over pole distances for trail. These are already correct in the rulebook but the show comittees putting on the show need to be aware and make sure the poles are correct.
   
2. Change the age of lead line. After much discussion. Abby made a motion to change that the child must be 3 years old the day of the show they wish to ride at. Proof of age might be requested by show comittee.(copy of birth certificate) Seconded by Lisa Pellegrin. (Example: if the child is 2 on June 20th they are not able to show at the MCHC show. But if they turn 3 on July 1st they can show at the rest of the shows)
   
3. Remove hunter in hand. This is one of the biggest classes and will not be removed.
   
4. Add In Hand Trail: Robynne made a motion to add in hand trail prior to riding trail. Horses areallowed to be tacked up but must be shown in a halter. Open to all ages horse and rider but excludes miniature horses. Seconded by Sue. Approved
   
5. Add Miniature horse high point: None of our high points are officially in the rulebook and are instead offered as long as we find sponsors. If someone would like to sponsor a high point we will award it.
   
6. Remove the rule that you must attend 51% of the shows to qualify for year end awards. Motion denied.
