General Show Information

• All Halter Show related questions should be directed to the Halter Show Superintendents, Scott & Ann Young, sayoung@hancock.net, 1-607-222-6825.
• No refunds will be given for changes/cancellations after the close of show registration (the last date registrations are being accepted or the show sells out, whichever is first). Partial refunds will be given out prior to the close of show registration minus a handling fee ($150 per farm or $10 per animal).
• No animal substitutions will be allowed from the original entry form, unless an animal becomes ill and permission is obtained from the Show Superintendent. Permission must be obtained prior to arriving at the show. There will be a $15 change fee for each change made to your show registration after close of registration.
• The show will be run in accordance with the current rules of the AOA Alpaca Show Division. We encourage you to join the Show Division and become familiar with the AOA Show System Handbook.
• All alpacas shall be presented for judging with a plain halter and lead rope. The handler’s attire should be conservative, neat and appropriate for the class. Farm names or alpaca names cannot be displayed on the exhibitor or animal during the class.
• All alpacas entered must be registered with the AOA Registry. No pending papers will be accepted.
• All alpacas must be entered in the name of the owner as listed on the ARI Registration Certificate. Animals that are in the process of being purchased or certificates that have not been transferred, must have a Owner of Record to Show form, signed by the owner that is listed on the certificate.
• Get of Sire, Produce of Dam: Show entry is made in the name of the sire or the dam and the entry fee is applicable. A copy of the AOA Registration Certificate for the sire or dam must be included. There is a limit of one entry per sire or dam. As exhibitors may not know who the other exhibitors are until arrival, entry deadline for the two group classes will be 6:00 P.M. Thursday evening.
• There is a $80.00 AOA fee for all farms that are not AOA Show Division members. It is $80.00 per farm, not per animal. There is a $6 AOA Show Division fee for every animal entered in the show, that fee is reflected in your entry fee.
• An owner may only enter 3 alpacas per breed type, per gender, per color designation, per age division. Example: An owner can only show 3 white, Huacaya, yearling, males.
• Pen limits are as follows: 3 juveniles per pen or 7 juvenile per double pen, 2 yearlings per pen or 5 yearlings per double pen, 2 adults per pen or 5 adults per double pen
• Send completed entry form with a copy of each AOA Registration Certificate. Please use color definitions as found in the AOA Show Division Handbook and the most current AOA color chart to determine the color of each alpaca. An alpaca will not be entered if there is incomplete or missing information.
• The Show Superintendent will divide classes as much as possible. Example, for Juvenile Black Males, if entries include 4 or more true blacks and 4 or more bay blacks, the class will be divided by color designation.
