Breeding Committee
The board voted to accept the following recommendations of the Breeding Committee:
1.All breeding classes will be split colts and fillies, with the exception of classes for 3 year olds (both horses and ponies.)
2. Classes will be numbered instead of using letters as PHSA currently does. There is a maximum of 32 classes.
3. There must be at least 3 showing in a breeding class for the PHSA present point structure to be awarded (eg 7,5,4.) If there is 1 in a class, PHSA will award 3 pts, 2 in a class, 3,2.
