| Core Classlist Requirement | |
|
Show must meet the Core Classlist Requirement. Please note that these requirements are minimums; a given show may elect to have a more detailed or extensive classlist. |
|
| Draft Show Packet | |
|
A draft version of a show's entire show packet must be submitted as a part of the application process. This draft show packet must include:
|
|
| Qualification Information | |
|
Show must inform entrants that first- and second-place equids in its OPEN classes qualify for the NAN. An open class is defined as competition where the entrant is not limited by skill level, age, or years of competition. Any classes that limit entrants by these criteria cannot be counted as NAN qualifier classes. |
|
| Advertisement | |
|
The show must advertise the show publicly, in print or over the Internet, in advance of the show date. An "advertising plan" listing magazines the show will be advertised in, including the cover date(s) of the issue(s) in which the ad will run. Ads in newsletters and postings to the "Haynet" internet model horse discussion list are also acceptable forms of advertising. |
|
| Open Entry | |
|
Show must not be "by invitation"; all persons must be allowed to enter. Show may limit entry by number of entrants, but in that case must accept entries on a first-come, first-serve or other impartial basis. |
|
| Essential Fairness Requirements | |
|
No showholder, nor his/her relatives, co-owner of models, etc. may enter a NAN qualifying division at his or her show. "Relative" is defined as Grandparents, Parents/Step-Parents, Aunts/Uncles (by blood or marriage), Spouse/Significant other, Children/Step-Children, Siblings, In-laws, Nieces, Nephews, first cousins, and any roommates or others currently living with the above family members. A person may not show and judge in the same division at a NAMHSA member show. A division is defined as one or more grouped classes such as "OF Breyer Plastic", "Custom Glazed", or "OF Performance" |
|
| NAN Tickets | |
|
The show must agree to distribute NAN qualification ticket cards that will be sent to each showholder. There will be 2 tickets sent per NAN qualifiying class at the show; one for the first place winner and one for the 2nd place winner. Showholders must agree to put down the tickets along with the ribbons in each class. More information for showholders about distributing tickets can be found here, and more information for show entrants about what to do with your tickets can be found here. |
|
| Results | |
|
Show must send results of the show, including a listing of the entrants' names and addresses to the NAMHSA Show Secretary. "Results" can be full results or just first/second places in qualifying classes. Results may be submitted by printed or soft copy, postmarked within 30 days of the show date, or e-mail, transmitted within 30 days of show date. More information on how to prepare your show's results, and how to send them to the Show Secretary, can be found here. |
|
| Notification of Changes | |
|
If the show date, location, classlist or any other substantial change is made, the showholder must inform the secretary. You MUST inform the Secretary of ANY classlist changes that result in MORE classes being added, so that more tickets can be sent in time for your show. There will now be a fee of $10 imposed if a show changes its classlist within 60 days of the show date. Changes do not include class splits, but would include addition of a new division or completely new classes. No fee will be assessed if changes are made 60 days or more from the show date. This new policy is intended to decrease the number of "rush" changes requested of the membership secretary. Be sure that changing your class list does not divert from the core classlist requirements. |
|
| Due Date for Application | |
|
The show must apply for membership and pay the fee not later than 60 days prior to the show. The show may not be advertised as a NAMHSA Member Show or NAN Qualifier until dues have been paid. This gives NAMHSA time to process your application, approve your classlist or inform you of parts that do not conform to NAMHSA requirements, and mail your tickets. This also gives you time to advertise your show once membership is given. |
|
| Publication of Information | |
|
The showholder's address, email address, and show date will be included in member show listings NAMHSA maintains for the public, including our website, unless the showholder requests that such information not be published. |
|
| Loss of Membership | |
|
a) Voluntary Resignation: A member may resign from membership of NAMHSA by sending written notice to the President. A refund of 60% of funds paid will be issued if the resignation is received by NAMHSA 60 days prior to the show date. b) Involuntary Loss of Membership: A membership may be suspended or revoked by NAMHSA for violation of membership requirements set forth here and in the NAMHSA bylaws. Such revocation will not relieve said member from the obligation to pay any outstanding dues. |
|
| Membership Application Procedure | |
|
Please note that a complete application MUST include:
NAMHSA Show Membership Secretary 1421 Roosevelt Rd. Machesney Park, IL 61115 show-membership-secretary@namhsa.org Showholders may send their application information via email as long as ALL required information on the application form is provided. |
