(8) Lost Competition Licenses: Competition licenses that have been lost for any reason can be replaced by filing an affidavit and submitting the appropriate fee. (9) Any misrepresentation or false statement on the license application shall constitute unsportsmanlike conduct and will subject owner and/or exhibitor to disciplinary action as set forth in the NRHA Handbook. (10) When a horse is gelded, the owner must report it to the NRHA immediately and return the horse’s original competition license to the NRHA with a statement indicating the gelding procedure date. The NRHA staff will make the appropriate notation in the records and on the horse's competition license, and will return the license at no charge. D. CATEGORIES OF COMPETITION AND CLASS ELIGIBILITY Class Eligibility for the current year for horses and riders are based on NRHA recorded earnings on January 1. The Board will set eligibility levels for all categories for the next show year by August 31. It is the owner’s and rider’s responsibility to be aware of official NRHA horse and rider earnings. When eligibility limits are surpassed during the show year, the exhibitor can complete the year in that specific class or division. Any rider competing in a class or division for which he/she is ineligible (or his/her horse is ineligible) will be fined $25 for the first offense. After receiving notice, any second offense may result in a $200 fine. For youth riders see YOUTH SHOW RULES AND REGULATIONS, A. MEMBERSHIP AND SHOW CONDI- TIONS (7). When a horse/rider is found to be ineligible, the earnings will be forfeited to the NRHA and redirected to the Show Committee for redistribution. NRHA will correct the class placing and earnings in the database. The disqualified exhibitor is responsible for returning all forfeited earnings to the NRHA and all prizes and awards to the show secretary. When a suspended exhibitor is reinstated as an NRHA member in good standing, his/her eligibility will resume at the level held prior to suspension. Anyone showing in NRHA approved competition is subject to Section F. General Show Conditions as outlined in this NRHA Handbook. Current eligibility requirements for all categories, classes, and divisions as set forth by the NRHA Board can be found on nrha.com or in the Eligibility Policy section of this Handbook.
