Hi Sarah!
I had no idea there were such formal proceedures involved horse/pony
measurement! I'm a long way from California which may be a factor and my
usual venue is CDEs in the MI-OH-KY-IL-IN-WI-MN neighborhood, which could be
another, but Braveheart and I have always competed in the single pony slot.
The only formal measurement BH ever had was at his first evaluation and we've
never been asked or re-measured at any of the events we've atttended since.
It sure sounds like the show officials at your event were having
trouble getting their ducks in a row! Did you get your cash back? Or an extra
fluffy ribbon at the conclusion of your efforts? How about an apology and a
free lemonade? Maybe it's a new enough rule that no one actually knows what
needs to be done and in what order.
Good luck!
