 Good day guys. Well, I've got a very special video for you today And I'm joined by Julie Davis who is the NCHA director for memberships and Julie welcome Thank if you're going to be joining the NCHA or getting involved the first thing I guess you're going to do is understand the classes and amateur I guess is the first class or what defines an amateur an Amateur is Someone that's not involved in the industry. They're not they don't work in the industry They typically have outside and Careers and they do this as a hobby not as a living And that's typically your typical amateur writer, right? So when you say work in the industry you mean work in the training of horses, right? Either training or They're either training or they're working for a Trainer or there might not be actually doing the actual training, but they're they're making a living astride Right, or they're married to a trainer or the child of a trainer. They're working on the premises of a trainer And those are people that really work in the industry or involved in the industry by Relationship and they are not eligible to be amateurs, right? So if you were married to a trainer that would make you you'd have to be a norm pro Is that right? Yes, you would be a non-pro and if you're a see if you're a daughter or son or the trainer They'll make you a non-pro as well. Yes, not an amateur. Yes, okay, and There's also an unlimited amateur What's that the unlimited amateur is? Typically for amateurs that have capped out of the earnings cap on the 50,000 amateur Once you're over that 50,000 amateur We're actually it's called a 50,000, but the amateur is actually a hundred thousand Eligibility earnings with a 50-50 split which means you have to have less than a hundred thousand in lifetime earnings Lifetime eligibility and then you have to have less than 50 for weekend or less than 50 for limited age And what happens is that when you've capped out of that? Then we have an unlimited amateur and the unlimited amateur has a couple of different rules If you're under the age of 60, then you can remain in the unlimited amateur Until you've reached a hundred thousand and non-pro aged event money And that's not like your regular lifetime. It's just aged event non-pro money And if you're over 60, there's no cap as long as your amateur eligible Which means you're eligible under all the amateur rules except for the money cap on the 50m Then you would be able to stay in the unlimited and forever if you're under age 60 Once you hit that hundred thousand cap, you would have to choose at that at the beginning of the next point year you You can choose to remain an unlimited amateur as long as you do not show in a non-pro Event let's go to the novice classes for the weekends If if you've won a hunt if you won the futurity Which is 200,000 can you show that horse in the five novice on the weekends? Yes, right? Okay, yeah, because that's if you don't have over five thousand and we can eligibility right, okay? Okay, now A five novice horse That hasn't won more than five thousand in the weekend. Can that show in the twenty five thousand novice class? Yes, yeah, because it hasn't won more than right more than that money
