Appaloosa Show, the ApHC will offer live Web casts that broadcast
each class in the schedule. This year, the ApHC is excited to offer
businesses and individuals the chance to reach the audience that
tunes in via the Web with live commercials run during breaks in
the action.

just like a real television commercial! The live feed typically
receives over 34 thousand hits, with an average viewing time of
over 28 minutes—there’s no other way to reach potential clients
or customers than this new opportunity.
Breaks occur after every class while the tractor drags the arena,
and certain events have drags during the course of the class. Packages
begin at only $400. Reach a virtual audience by calling (208) 882-5578
ext. 235 or e-mailing marketing@appaloosa.com

Canada (ApHCC) horses! It’s simple—no stallion breeding reports,
breeder’s certificates, or transfers of ownership necessary! To

Certificate of Registration, four current photographs of your horse,
clearly showing both sides, a complete front and rear view, and
a $100 fee (US funds). ApHC registration classification and eligibility

or contact (208) 882-5578 ext. 300.

Please note that Rule 900.I. in the 2010 Official Handbook of
the ApHC states, “A non-pro who shows for a person other than
a member of his/her family may not show in a class restricted to
non-pros at the same show.” Therefore, non-pros are not
allowed to show in non-pro classes at the same show at which they
show in an open class exhibiting a horse that is not wholly owned
by the non-pro or member of their family (relationship is defined
in rule 900.J.).
You may not show a horse for a friend or any other individual in
open classes and still show your own horse in non-pro events. If
you co-own a horse with friends or a business partner and you show
that horse in open classes, you are not eligible to show in non-pro
classes at the same show, even though the horse you would exhibit
in non-pro classes is wholly owned by you or by members of your
family. That situation doesn't satisfy the “family relationship”
guidelines of rule 900.J.
If you have any questions about this rule, please contact the ApHC
office at (208) 882-5578 ext. 400.

Forms are now available at www.appaloosa.com
for regional clubs to submit nominations for the World Show. Go
to www.appaloosa.com and click on
World Show for the link to the packet. Regional clubs may nominate
their top 5 horses in each class. Those that have earned at least
1 national point in that class will automatically receive an invitation
to compete at the 2010 World Show. Effective September 1, 2009,
and to qualify for the 2010 World Show, an exception may be made
to the one (1) national point requirement if it is documented on
forms requested from and provided by the ApHC and submitted to the
regional club by the owner of the horse by the World qualifying
point cutoff deadline that the horse was entered and attempted in
good faith to earn points under at least five (5) different judges
in that class during that qualifying year but could not earn the
required one (1) point needed for a regional nomination because
there were no other entries in that class.
These waivers are available at www.appaloosa.com
along with the regional club nomination packet. They must be completed
by the owner or exhibitor of the horse, signed by the show secretary
or show manager of the shows at which they attempted to compete
and submitted to the regional club in advance of the point cut-off
deadline. Regional clubs will include these completed forms with
their nomination packet. Those horses nominated by the regional
club that do not have one national point in the class but do have
the completed waivers included with the nomination packet will receive
an invitation to compete at the World Show in the classes in which
the properly completed paperwork has been submitted.
Please contact (208) 882-5578 ext. 248 with any questions you have
about this process.

If you plan on showing in any novice classes at ApHC-approved shows
in 2010, you’ll need proof of your novice status. Please log on
to www.appaloosa.com. Click on “Show”
and then on “Verify Your Membership & Novice Eligibility Here”.
Then type in your membership number for an updated list of classes
in which you are eligible to compete as a novice. Print that list
and take to any ApHC-approved shows that you attend to provide as
proof of novice eligibility.
Some changes were made to the novice program for the 2010 show year.
As with any new program, the potential for a “glitch” exists until
we’ve had adequate time to test the system. We’ve recently become
aware of a slight problem that may have positively affected your
novice status. If you have previously contacted the ApHC office
for information on your novice eligibility or if you’ve already
printed your novice information from the ApHC Web site, we encourage
you to check that listing again. You may actually be eligible for
additional novice classes from which you were previously excluded.
Please contact the Show Department at (208) 882-5578 ext. 400 or
by email at show@appaloosa.com
with any questions. We apologize for any confusion this may have
created and we wish you the best of luck as you pursue your Appaloosa
goals this show season!
