NAMHSA REGION 5 ENTRANT NUMBER LIST

NAMHSA REGION 5 (Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas) has its own email list.
If you want to subscribe to the email list, here is the link: REGION5NAMHSA-subscribe@yahoogroups.com 

If you do not already have an entrant number, please contact Daralyn Wallace (RaunFalcon@aol.com) a minimum of one week BEFORE the show to get a number. Also, when you request a number, please be sure to put "ENTRANT NUMBER NEEDED" in the subject of your email and to give me both your first and last name. I don't need addresses or phone numbers, just names. :-) These are permanent numbers and can be used at most shows in our region which choose to use them. If you have any questions about a particular show's rules, please be sure to contact the show holder personally.

NOTE: Not all the shows use these numbers, so please be sure to check with the Show Holder to make sure if the show you are attending will be using this system. Some show holders like to use the index card system, and some like to assign totally different numbers. Any of these are fine; it is up to the show holder to decide what she or he wishes to use.

Click here to get the current list of numbers: NUMBERS LIST. This is is updated frequently, when new people are given numbers, but once you get a number, it is permanently yours.  The file is a PDF file and you will need the free software, Adobe Acrobat Reader, to open it. If you don't already have it installed, you can download the software here it: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

How to number your tags

Each of your horses has a separate number that begins with YOUR entrant number. First make a list of all the horses that you plan to show. Assign each horse a number, starting with XXX- 001. (The XXX is *your* entrant number.) Continue numbering in sequence, XXX-002, XXX-003, XXX-004, etc. all the way up to xxx-999 if you want to have a master list for yourself with all your horses on it. You can go as far as you need or wish to go. NOTE: Be sure that you write the numbers with the dash following your entrant number, then the 3 digits from 001 through 999 on the tag. It is important to use all six digits so that it is easier to spot wrong numbers, just in case a judge writes down only 5 digits at the show.

PLEASE keep a copy of your list for your records and keep a copy of it with you at the show. You will also give a copy to the person at the show who is doing the results. It may also be possible for you to EMAIL your list to the Results Person - watch for announcements about this on email group list. Usually our Results Person is Brad Johnson

Note: You do not have to keep the same list of horses from one show to another, but many people do. Some people make a new list with new numbers for each show. It’s your choice. Some people keep one list going and just bring it with them to each show. It doesn’t matter if all the horses on the list are not at the show or do not place at the show.  It is OK if the list that you turn in at the show is missing some numbers. Just be sure that you have the numbers for all the horses that are at that show.

SAMPLE HORSE LIST: Below I have shown an example of what a list might look like. Always remember to put your name and address at the top of every page of your list so that if the pages get separated, they are easy to identify.

TOP OF PAGE: (name, address, email address, and entrant number)

Mary Jane Doe, 1234 Some Street, Town, TX 12345           Email: maryjanedoe@internet.com                Entrant Number: 999 

Just continue the list for however many horses that you have. You can go all the way up to 999 if you need to do so.

Naming Horses: It is customary for people to give each model its own name rather than use the name that the company gave the model. If you really like the name the company used, then add something to it to make it unique, such as your stable name or translate the name into a different language. For example, Black Beauty in Spanish would be Belleza Negra, and in French it would be Beauté Noire. 

TAGS: Once you have the list made, you are ready to make your tags. Tags may be purchased at most office supply stores and at Wal-Mart in the office supply section. These are small white or colored tags that are approximately an inch in length with a string attached to them. The string is looped around one of the horse’s legs and serves as a means to identify your horse.

On the front side of the tag, you write your horse’s number, breed, and gender. On the back side of the tag, you can write the horse’s name and your name so that if the tag falls off, it can be identified and returned to you. Always have extra blank tags at the show so that you can make tags for any horses you buy at the show or replace any that get lost.

Example Tags:

NOTE: The front side of the tag is always placed up on the table so that the judge can see your number easily when he or she writes down the placing of the horses that will get ribbons.
