Non-Pro and Youth Horse Ownership Rules 2.1.12 Non-Pros must not exhibit in Non-Pro classes any horses owned by any third party, but shall only exhibit horses solely owned by the exhibitor or the exhibitor’s family, which is the exhibitor’s spouse, child, stepchild, parent, grandparent, grandchild, step-parent, sibling, half-sibling, spouse’s parent, spouse’s stepparent, spouse’s sibling, spouse’s half-sibling, spouse’s step-sibling, sibling’s spouse, half sibling’s spouse, step-sibling’s spouse, legal ward, or legal guardian. Separate legal entities such as family corporations, trusts, or partnerships, are also authorized by this rule and must meet the family requirements as stated above. “Owned” means, in addition to other legitimate methods of acquiring ownership, the bona fide legal ownership obtained for adequate consideration in reasonable relationship with the actual market value of the horse. 2.1.13 Any transaction relating to the sale of a horse to a Non-Pro other than by family members must be at fair market value. The Non-Pro is responsible for documenting said transaction in a satisfactory manner in the event of a protest. 2.1.14 Horses owned in a partnership or jointly with any person other than immediate family are not considered as fulfilling ownership requirements. 2.1.16 Any Non-Pro entering an open class must abide by the Non-Pro ownership rule. 2.1.18 It is up to the discretion of the show management at any NRCHA/ SRCHA event to ask competitors for proof of ownership. The Non-Pro contestant must be able to prove ownership at the time of the show by presenting the registration certificate or a legible photocopy with the correct owner or owners’ name printed on the document as issued by a breed association such as the AQHA, APHA, or ApHC. Horses cannot be shown on transfers in Non-Pro classes. Ownership must be current on horse’s papers to show in Non-Pro divisions.
