The RAS have made available a total of 37 Metcalf Measuring Machines, which are run by the affiliated Associations at various grounds throughout  New Zealand.

As from 1 August 2011, any new measures - Annual, Youngstock or Life, will receive the new Horse/Pony Identification Certificate, which includes a performance card.  The old Height Certificate form is still a valid certificate when updated with annual measure information.

Youngstock Measuring is carried out twice yearly, once prior to the show season commencing and again in January.  All Youngstock entering Shows must be measured and hold a current certificate.

RAS Measuring Rules are issued in conjunction with the NZ Equestrian Federation, the NZ Pony Clubs Association and all affiliated Equestrian Breed Societies and in consultation with the NZ Veterinary Association.

 

As from June 2010

Rule 84 (o) is amended to read... Horses/Ponies, 3 years and over wil be   required to be presented for measuring in a bridle with a bit.

Micro-chipping is now accepted by the RAS as a form of identification, along with freeze or fire branding .  Scanners are available at some Stands only - please check prior to attending measuring day.
