PtHA RULE CHANGES FOR 2021 

For 2021, the PtHA will not be printing new Rulebooks. A supplement for 2021 is available on our website www.pinto.org.

•  Height Classification and Requirements - Miniatures will now be measured at the withers instead of last hair of the mane. The height classifications have changed to accommodate this change.

•  Gaits for Gaited horses - If a gaited horse is present in the class with Saddle Type horses, the gaits called will be: walk, easiest gait, lope/canter. Easiest gait is defined as not a trot, two diagonal feet moving in the same direction at the same time (i.e. running walk, ambling gait, rack).

•  Classic and Country Pleasure Driving- equines may not cross enter at PtHA shows.
