General Rules

Showing Rules
1. Mares may enter a maximum of:
- THREE classes in the Breed & Open Halter Section.
- THREE classes in the Type & In Hand Halter Section.
- FOUR classes in the Young Mare Section.
- A mare may enter as many classes as she is eligible in the Restricted Halter Section.
2. Mares between the ages of zero and three years old may ONLY enter in Young Mare classes and no other section.

4. Failure to include breed and age division in the correct format will result in disqualification from the show.

Grading & Inspection Rules
