Great News!
F2
Crossbreds can now show at IFSHA
March 19, 2014
Fellow IFSHA Members,
The IFSHA Board of Directors is pleased and excited to announce
that IFSHA has been granted a USEF Presidential Rule
Modification to rule FR101.4a. The original rule states a part
bred Friesian must be 50% Friesian with one purebred Friesian
parent. The rule change proposed by the IFSHA Board of Directors
will strike the portion of the rule that states one parent must
be a purebred Friesian. Until the proposed rule passes, a USEF
Presidential Modification was granted on March 19th , 2014.
What this means is that for the year 2014 all part bred
Friesians 50% or greater may compete in any IFSHA competition.
IFSHA is a horse show organization and this will allow for IFSHA
to be inclusive of all Friesians of mixed heritage and give them
the opportunity to compete under the rules of I FSHA and the
USEF.
We look forward to welcoming new members to The International
Friesian Show Horse Association and the United States Equestrian
Federation.
Sincerely,
Sandy Jacob IFSHA President

IFSHA scores ARE NOT
recognized in the HH Open Awards Program, as they are breed
restricted classes.
If you
have horses of Friesian heritage who are less than 50% Friesian and
you would like to be able to show them in IFSHA in the future,
please write to them at
ifsha@friesianshowhorse.com
and tell them you would like
them to consider a rule change that would allow inclusion of ALL
horses of Friesian heritage (25% to 100% Friesian), as registered by
Friesian Heritage Horse! If you send a request to IFSHA, please
send the HH a copy so that we are aware of your interest as well:
hh@friesianheritage.com
(You
can just CC us a copy of your email to IFSHA) |
