What exactly is the process, ie, must ponies see the vet and be measured first, what paperwork needs to be sent in when?
Nomination forms must be accurately completed and sent to the ACPS Secretary using the timeline published in the “American Connemara” magazine and/or on the ACPS web site. Usually the deadline is June 1st, but if regional inspections are scheduled at other times during the year, the deadlines will correspond and be published accordingly. After the pony is nominated, a licensed equine veterinarian must officially measure and record the pony’s height and inspect it for genetic faults. A persons own equine veterinarian may be used to examine the pony, there are no ACPS vets. The veterinarian inspection form may be sent to the ACPS secretary or brought with the pony to the inspection site.
