Association for approved status, and to whom such status has been granted in writing and whose show dues for the

Approved show dates for shows requesting M.H.S.A. approval will be published in an official publication of the M.H.S.A.
giving show name, dates, location, and the name and address of the show contact. Show dates should be submitted to the
M.H.S.A. prior to February 1st for approval.
Point approved status does not in itself guarantee that all classes at a particular show will be counted toward a M.H.S.A.
Championship, the counting of points being contingent upon an observation of all the Rules of the Association by all the
affected parties.
B. No established horse show shall be disapproved by the Michigan Horse Show Association, Inc. without first notifying
the show committee or management group, in writing, that the Board of Directors of the Michigan Horse Show Association
has voted to withhold approval. After notification by the Michigan Horse Show Association, the show committee or
management group shall have at least two (2) weeks to present, in writing, its objections to the action of the Board of
Directors. The defenses of the show committee management group must be considered and allowed or disallowed at the

except shows confined to one breed or section in which M.H.S.A. awards no more than seven (7) Annual Championships.
In such shows, the show dues will be one-half the regular rate or $25.00 for one day and $50.00 for shows of two or more
days.

CANCEL a class if it does not fill in accordance with published specifications. If specifications for filling are NOT
published, the class may NOT be cancelled if two or more exhibitors have paid their entry fees by class time.
Errors and/or discrepancies in prize list must be prominently posted at show office. M.H.S.A. must be notified, in writing,
of any correction, such notification to accompany the show results.

RULES GOVERNING

equal opportunity to show. Classes which do not meet this requirement will not count.

at least one qualifying class, will be awarded double points as shown in paragraph C. below.

group specified for the championship.) Classes so divided will be awarded Regular Points.

Hunter Seat Divisions. When Equitation classes are not divided by breed, points earned will be applied to the appropriate
breed Championships.

X. US EQUESTRIAN FEDERATION: Exhibitors and owners shall, in every case, conduct themselves in accordance with
the rules of the M.H.S.A. and the US Equestrian Federation wherever applicable. The Rules of the US Equestrian

Rules shall be cause for cancellation of points won, as may be determined by the Board of Directors of M.H.S.A. which
shall be the final judge.
XI. EXHIBITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY: It shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor to carefully, accurately and legibly
complete the ENTRY FORMS for each show. The Association will not be responsible for misspellings that deprive a horse

owner or lessee, provided that such new owner is a current M.H.S.A. member.
If the name of the horse is changed during the show season, it shall be the responsibility of the owner to notify the
Administrator of the Association in writing. Points lost by failure to comply with this rule are the responsibility of the
owner.

animal is entered.
XIV. CHAMPIONSHIP AWARD PUBLICATION: Award publicity shall not be published until after the actual award
presentation at the Annual Awards Banquet. Violation by member shall be cause for cancellation of all points earned by
the exhibitor.
