Horse Measuring: No official measuring will take place at the show, but, if a question about height arises, proof of height may be required. In the absence of proof, a decision will be at the absolute discretion of the Ring Master or Chief Steward. Breed Registration: Registration documents for horses in breed classes must be produced when required by a Steward.
