    I’d oppose the inclusion of a suggested minimum height for a small pony. If the show does not offer a division for Very Small Equines, using this change leaves them no place to show.
    Suggested alternate wording:

    212.3 The pony classes or divisions may be divided. Suggested size divisions:
    a. Small pony –
    1. When a VSE division is offered: 9.3 hands (39″ / 99cm) and over, not to exceed 12.2 hands (50″ / 127 cm)
    2. When no VSE division is offered: not to exceed 12.2 hands (50″ / 127 cm)
    b. Large pony – over 12.2 hands (50″ / 127 cm), not to exceed 14.2 hands (58″ / 147cm)
