Performance Classes:

English Equitation (may be ridden classic or hunt seat, as tack and attire dictates)

Exhibitors shall be judged on hands, seat, legs and basic position and on their ability to ride and control the horse correctly. Horses must be shown in both directions of the ring at a walk, trot, and canter.

English Pleasure (tack and personal appointments to be appropriate to the seat being ridden) To be judged on 45% performance, 40% manners and 15% conformation. To be shown both ways of the ring. Required gaits: a flat-footed walk, normal trot, canter, light contact to be maintained. Not to hand gallop.

Western EquitationRiders will be judged on seat, hands, performance of horse, appointments of horse and rider, and suitability of horse to rider. Rider should appear comfortable, relaxed with good posture. Overall appearance should be of a well-groomed horse, clean equipment, and rider’s apparel suitable to the western discipline. Gaits should be consistent and horse manageable and under control. Results as shown by performance of the horse are NOT to be considered more important than the method used in obtaining them. Riders enter the ring at a walk or jog and are judged at a flat-footed four-beat walk, two-beat jog and a three-beat lope both ways of the ring. All competitors are required to back in a straight line during the line up in all classes.

Western PleasureHorses are to be judged on performance, manners, conformation, quality and substance. A good pleasure horse is responsive, and gives the appearance of being fit and a pleasure to ride. Maximum credit should be given to the flowing, balanced and willing horse. A minimum of 20% of the judging shall be placed on condition and conformation. Horses to be shown at a walk jog and lope on a reasonably loose rein or light contact with undue restraint. Horses must work both ways of the ring at all three gaits to demonstrate their ability with different leads and gaits. Horses may be asked to extend the walk, jog, or lope, one or both ways of the ring. A moderate extension of the jog is a definite two beat lengthening of stride.

Walk/Jog & Walk/Trot These classes are offered to those unable to compete at the lope/canter due to the inexperience or health limitations of the horse or rider. Horses participating in Dressage tests requiring lope/canter work are not eligible for walk/jog or walk/trot flat classes.
