Filling out NAN Cards

Reminder: Fill out NAN Cards Completely and Correctly!

The NAMHSA Board would like to remind all showers of the critical importance of filling out NAN cards in their entirety as soon as possible after winning them. Complete information includes the name of the model, the name of the class, and the name of the owner. If you buy a NAN qualified model, you should follow the directions on the card to write your name on the back side of the card - do not erase or scratch out the name of the owner at the time of qualification.

Only properly completed NAN cards may be used for NAN entry or Merit Awards. Per an August 2012 Board vote, if an invalid or expired NAN card is submitted for NAN entry, the entry will be revoked without refund or opportunity for correction. The invalid/expired NAN card will be returned in the NAN entrant packet. This new rule is meant to spare the NAN Registrar from the burden of resolving avoidable NAN card issues. In the past two years, nearly a third of all NAN cards submitted for NAN entry were either incompletely or incorrectly filled out, or were expired. Expired cards may be used for Merit Awards, but submission of improperly completed NAN cards for Merit Awards will delay the application processing until a correct NAN card is supplied.

For complete instructions on your NAN cards, please see our NAN Card Information for Entrants page. Notice about Invalid Cards (includes list of invalid cards)

Example:


Important notice about NAN card expiration dates: All NAN cards marked 2011-2012 are now good through 2014, NAN cards marked 2012-2013 are good through 2015, and so forth. Please do not cross out the qualifying dates on your NAN cards. The NAN Registrars for future years will know the extended years. You may make a small note next to the current qualifying years listed, such as 2011-2014 to help remind you of the extension. Starting in early 2013, NAN cards will be marked with the new range listed as "2013/2014/2015/2016".

NAMHSA Reciprocity Program

Are you outside of North America? The new NAMHSA Reciprocity Program may help you! Organizations that meet the qualifications can have their first and second place models eligible to enter NAN, and they agree to accept NAN cards to their Nationals.

NAN Trophies

This contest is conducted every two years. It determines the design of the trophy that will be presented to the Champions and Reserve Champions at the annual North American Nationals (NAN) show for two years. The NAN trophies are highly coveted awards for model horse showers. For more information, see the NAN Trophy Contest page.
