From the Office Well Christmas is upon us and I really have no idea where 2014 has gone, so I guess I must have been busy and the time has flown by. The South Islanders have already had a couple of shows and the North Islands first show will be done and dusted by the time you receive this Chatter, I am so gutted that I couldn’t enter, due to my dad’s 80th birthday, most of you have meet my dad, so you’ll know how special it is for me to get down South and spend his special day with him, but I reckon he would have actually preferred to be up here at a cutting show. Futurity entries should also be rolling in to

Julie by now and from what I’ve seen and heard, we have some lovely horses to look forward to. Wishing you all a very successful show season, a wonderful Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Karen

Presidents Report Christmas is just around the corner so Christmas wishes to you all and an awesome New Year. Our season has kick started with training clinics and shows and organisation for the rest of the season is under control. On a personal note a big thank you from Colin and I to the Central South CH Club for inviting us to judge and help at their show at Mt Aitken. See you at a show Helen

who have not accumulated $500 LTE at the commencement of the score year. Professional trainers will not be eligible to

compete in Snafflebit classes. Points won in a Snafflebit class will accumulate to determine a competitors’ eligibility for that

class, but will not count towards LTE or the status of the Rider. Money earned in Snafflebit classes will be applied to all

future classes. Once a rider who is eligible to compete in Snafflebit classes competes in a Non Pro class or Novice/Open

horse class, that rider is no longer eligible to compete in a Snafflebit class. Points earned whilst competing on a day fee will

also be included for eligibility purposes. The burden of proof of eligibility will be on the competitor. There is a limit of two

horses that may be ridden in this class; however only the points from the highest earning horse will count towards high point

awards. Committee may have added money or jackpot events however points will be tabulated for area high point’s

standings. Horses may be shown using one or two hands on bridle reins. Twisted wire snaffles, gag snaffles or shank

snaffles shall not be used. Snaffle bits are to be a minimum of 10mm (3/8”) and have a smooth single jointed mouthpiece.

nothing else; Novice Horse or Open Horse and the Restricted but nothing else).

b) Riders are limited to one horse for this event.

c) All Points gained in this event will count against LTE in Snafflebit, Rookie and Non Pro events.

(This event is to encourage people to keep showing, giving them a second class at a show, as well as an event for

the show workers to get in the pen for a cut, family members sharing a horse etc). Entries can be accepted on the

day if sufficient cattle are available and it will be acceptable to use re-run cattle for this event).

60 or 0 score will be included.

Page 23/Rule 10 Paragraph after scale: Alter to read: “The NZCHA Council will be able to approve an application from any show committee

to hold a show, where all or any cutting horse events may be run over 2 go rounds with points aggregated and to have any

monies won count towards high point awards. Each horse must have the same rider throughout the contest, except in cases of
