UKPHA Performance Rules 2019 - revised

2019 UKPHA Walk / Jog Rule Amendment: Click here for the revised rules
After a trial run of the Walk/Jog rule as previously stated in the UKPHA 2019 Performance Rules at the Oakridge Easter show and the feedback from the members who were there, UKPHA committee have amended the rule at this time, to exclude all classes from the rule except for paint classes, i.e. APHA & UKPHA .
The rule is now worded as follows :
"Entering any APHA or UKPHA Open or Amateur (including Novice Amateur where available) categories will exclude that exhibitor from entering UKPHA Walk / Jog classes for the duration of that show on the same horse. In other words, if you enter a UKPHA walk/jog class you cannot enter any APHA / UKPHA classes outside of walk/jog for that show."
The rule is effective immediately.
As you can understand this rule is not to discourage exhibitors from entering APHA Amateur or Open classes (i.e. loping classes) but is designed to make the UKPHA walk/jog classes as level a playing field as possible. Walk/Jog is becoming a serious category in its own right within APHA and UKPHA would like to support and encourage people who for whatever reason are not comfortable loping, to enter the ring and have fun and challenge themselves.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this decision and with the members help, UKPHA committee will continue to drive UKPHA forward.

To assure a smooth transition to the new leadership team the AGM also approved that Rob Painter remain for a year as Treasurer.
At the Board meeting held earlier in the day the other existing Board members
recommended the Sue Painter be retained on the Board for a year in a new role of Breed & Genetics Officer. This role would support the board and its members in staying current with the various changes in genetic standards, leveraging both Sue's Knowledge and Passion for the Breed.
This was proposed to the AGM and all roles were passed unanimously. Helena Ryan, incoming President said she was delighted Sue would stay on in the new role and that “it had help lift a weight off her shoulders”.
Sue & Rob were also recognised for they work over the past 16 years with a surprise presentation of a beautiful trophy and a bouquet of flowers, arranged by other board members and contributed to by several current members. As a further surprise the Executive President of APHA also sent his best wishes via a pre-recoded video.
It was Rob & Sue’s plan and intension to fully step down as board members but they are both happy to stay involved in lesser capacities to support the transition to a new and vibrant team.
