ABCD CLASSIFICATION RULES

1. Classification will be assigned to horses on the basis of the horse's three fastest times set since August 1, 1968 at PSHA approved shows.

2. Horse will have to run three times in a faster time classification before reclassification upward will occur. Horses shall move up for the next show.

3. Regions shall issue wallet sized cards stating horse's classification in each event. When a horse's classification is moved upward in any event, a new card will be issued. To be dropped from present classification to the next lower class (example: A to B, B to C, C to D) will require 5 consecutive times slower (excluding times with penalties) than the present classification.

4. An unknown or unclassified member horse appearing at a show will be placed in the appropriate ABCD category for the next show according to the first qualifying time run in each event and will remain in that category until reclassification occurs. Horse shall retain any awards won at the first show.

5. Out of state horses shall retain their current ABCD classifications when entering a PSHA approved show.

6. Non-PSHA riders may ride in the ABCD Jackpot classified events with a "X" number and may not compete for year end awards or three time averages, but may ride for day awards in all classes. Non-Classified “X” riders will be placed in the appropriate ABCD class based on the time of their run and placed accordingly.

SEVEN “A”

To be eligible for this award a horse must run three (3) “A” times in each of the following events: California Stake Race, Barrels, Figure 8, Flags, Keyrace, Keyhole and Poles during the current PSHA qualifying season (State Finals Championship Show and Interstate Championship Meet included). The rider is to keep track of his/her own times and when they feel they have achieved the status of Seven “A”, they will contact the PSHA Times Recorder to verify eligibility. Times Recorder will notify the State Finals Championship Show Committee Chairman and the PSHA President. Five “A” and six “A” awards are no longer presented. The first time 7A Horse Award will be a lettered sheet to include the horses name, year and 7A’s. Repeat 7A’s will receive a halter with 7 A’s.

SUPREME CHAMPION

A Supreme Champion Horse Award is to be given to any horse running three times in each event listed below, within three (3) qualifying seasons (State Finals Championship Show and Interstate Championship Meet included). After receiving a Supreme Horse Award, it is with the understanding that all new qualifying times must be run in the next year or three (3) years. Previous years times will not be used.

The first Supreme Champion Horse Award is a belt buckle, 3 1/2 inches by 5 inches (may be a fraction larger in an unusual design). This award is given out only once. The maximum dollar allowance is $500.00.

The repeat award, a Silver Breast Collar, will have a standard style that can be ordered at any time (double leather, etc.), hand-tooled, with “REPEAT SUPREME CHAMPION HORSE” and some silver. Only the PSHA President will have the authority to order any SUPREME CHAMPION HORSE AWARDS.
