2011 Official Rule Book - New England Pinto Horse Association

named in the entry blank for the class in question shall
result in the exhibitor’s forfeiture of any ribbon, trophy,
cash prize, or other award won by such misrepresented or
substituted Pinto, and shall render the exhibitor liable for
further penalty.
5. A Horse, Pony and Miniature must be entered under its
complete PtHA registered name and number and under
the name of the owner as shown on the Registration
Certificate and the records of the Association or lessee of
record.
6. Every entry at an approved show shall constitute an
agreement that the person making it, and all persons
connected with the Pinto, and the Horse, Pony or Miniature
entered shall be subject to the Constitution and the Rules
of the Association and the local rules of the show.
7. Pinto owners of record who exhibit at PtHA-approved
shows must be PtHA members or purchase a membership.
F. Cancellation And Withdrawal Of Entries
1. An approved show may adopt its own policy covering
the refunding of fees to an exhibitor who cancels his/her
entries prior to, or after the show’s beginning.
2. If an exhibitor voluntarily removes a Pinto from the ring
without the permission of the judge, the exhibitor and all
Pintos of the exhibitor shall be disqualified from all future
classes at that show by the Show Committee and shall
forfeit all prizes and entry fees for the entire show.
G. Official Entries (Shown & Judged)
To be counted as an official entry in a class, a Horse, Pony,
or Miniature must be in the arena when the gate is closed and
must remain in the ring up to the point of the judge excusing
it (this is also known as “shown and judged”). An entry
may be disqualified by the judge on the basis of going off
pattern or course, receiving “no time” in timed competitions,
receiving “no score” in roping competitions, or knocking
down or refusing obstacles where such action constitutes
disqualification. These entries count as official entries.
G3. Reasonable accommodation for Challenged Exhibitors
A. Pinto Horse Association of America, Inc. (PtHA) respects
all members of the Organization and encourages their
participation in PtHA activities. A PtHA member whose
participation in a sanctioned activity is prevented or impaired
by a physical or mental disability may petition for a reasonable
accommodation based upon the nature of the disability. If the
event is competitive, the accommodation must not provide an
unfair advantage for the petitioner over other participants in the
activity being addressed. The safety of the individual, as well
as the other participants is the most important concern when a
request of accommodation is reviewed.
B. Petition Process
1. The individual or his/her legal guardian must submit
requests for a accommodation, in writing, via “Application
for Reasonable Accommodation Certificate” to the PtHA
office. It must include:
a. Identification of the activity for which the
accommodation is sought.
b. Reasons that the accommodation is needed.
c. Validation (diagnosis) of the disability by the
individual’s health care provider.
d. A statement describing the accommodation being
sought.
2. A filing fee must accompany the application. See Fee
Schedule.
