However, an AQHA judge may judge two shows in Ontario only if the two shows are on consecutive days, and the judge does not judge a par- ticular class but one time during the two shows.

Proposed change to Judges Selection Rule 3. JUDGE SELECTION SR·S&C·JS101·1 An AQHA judge can officiate at one show in Ontario during one calendar year. The one-show rule in- cludes the Ontario Quarter Horse Breed- ers’ Futurity. However, an AQHA judge may judge two shows in Ontario only if the two shows are on consecutive days, and the judge does not judge a particular class but one time during the two shows. In the event of an International
border crossing interruption preventing American/International judges from travelling to Ontario to judge, then a Canadian AQHA judge can officiate at two shows in Ontario during one calen- dar year. The two-show rule includes the Ontario Quarter Horse Breeders’ Fu- turity. An AQHA judge may judge a maximum of four shows in the two trips to Ontario if they do not judge a partic- ular class more than once in consecutive shows. An AQHA judge may also judge two special events per year in Ontario. An AQHA judge may not judge any two shows within 150 miles (242 kms) in a 30-day period. All novice youth/ama- teur and AQHA introductory shows are exempt from this rule.
