ICAMH points system - ICAMH classes

At the approved AMHA shows that are being organized by ICAMH, there are several sorts of classes for entry. Everyone holding an AMHA-registered horse that meets the height requirements, can participate.

The AMHA itself keeps score of the points gained in the approved open AMHA classes. For this, see the show rules in the AMHA website.

Entry in the ICAMH halter classes is restricted to those meeting the following conditions:

1. Handlers not on the list “exluded from the ICAMH halter class” are level 1.
2. Handlers on the list “exluded from the ICAMH halter class” are level 2.
3. ICAMH points system is valid for these classes.

For participants in the “ICAMH” classes, a seperate points system has been developed, of which ICAMH keeps score.

ICAMH wants everyone to enjoy showing, and for everyone to have a change to bring a winning a cup home. The point system makes sure that handlers cannot show endlessly in the ICAMH classes level 1. The point system enables healty movement towards the ICAMH classes level 2.

The rules

These are the ICAMH points system rules (dated 10 May 2008):

1. Only in the ICAMH halter classes, points are awarded.
2. The handler is being awarded the points, not the horse.
3. The winner of an ICAMH halter class gets 2 points. The person in second place in such a class gets 1 point.
4. These points are only awarded as such with a minimum of 4 participating horses in the class. With 3 horses, only the first place counts for 1 point.
5. At a total amount of 15 points, you are obliged to move to level 2 of the ICAMH. The horses in combination with whom the points were gained can still be shown in the ICAMH level 1.
6. By winning the title “grand champion” or “reserve champion” in an AMHA open class, you move to level 2. The level 2 status is terminated by a number of points to be determined.
7. The European Regional Championship is excluded from the scoring, since it is uncertain that ICAMH gets permission from AMHA to host this show every year.
