The horse is 8 years of age or over & holds a current SHCA Inc Annual measure;
The horse is not being measured as a result of a Right of Appeal or Re-Measure (refer to Rules);
Prior to the application being made for a Life Measure, the horse MUST HAVE HELD THREE CONSECUTIVE ANNUAL MEASURES in the same height division having been measured by TWO DIFFERENT SHCA Inc MEASURERS; and

Transfers of Ownership & Measuring

If you have purchased a horse registered in the SHCA Inc National Saddle Horse Register, please make sure that you request that the horse's SHCA Inc Official Measuring Card is also passed on to you by the seller. If the horse has not been measured previously, a Card will be issued when it is measured for the first time. If the Card has been lost or misplaced, please contact the Chief Measurer or the SHCA Office to arrange a replacement.
