Standard Photo Shows
The Standard Performance and CM/AR and OF Halter shows are all mail-in photo shows. Each Standard halter show has a maximum of 50 photos allowed per entrant, while the Standard performance show has a maximum of 75 photos. You can find the judge details listed in your current newsletter.
The class list is the same each time the show is run. The Performance show is run four times per year (March, June, September and December), while the CM/AR Halter show is run twice per year in March and September, and the OF Halter show is run in the alternate newsletter months, June and December.
A place or win in this shows earns double points for AIMHC Horse of the Year awards or the Roll of Merit.
AIMHC is always looking for volunteer judges for their standard shows. If you are interested in judging a show, please contact the Editor.
