CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Hunter Classes - A hunter should display good jumping form and be calm and confident while
doing so. The horse should move with a steady rhythmic canter between the fences and jump
the fence in a manner that appears to flow. The pace should be even throughout the course
and the horse should adjust its leads accordingly. The horse should meet the fence squarely
and jump in the center of the obstacle. A hunter should be relaxed but show a willing and alert
attitude.
Hunt Seat Equitation over Fences – Judged on the rider’s ability over fences. Attention will
focus on the rider’s position between and over fences. How the rider elects to ride the course,
the pace and approach to the jumps and their ability to get the horse to the right take-off spot
are used to evaluate the rider’s ability.
Equitation - Only the rider is judged on their way of riding. It is their skill that is being assessed
and not that of the horse.
English Pleasure - Judged 45% on quality of movement, 40% on manners and 15% on
conformation. Competitors are required to walk, trot and canter both ways of the ring.
Road Hack - Judged 55% on performance, 20% on substance, 15% on conformation and 10%
on manners. Horses to enter the arena at a walk. To be sown both ways of the arena with a
flat footed walk, with a reasonably loose rein, trot, strong trot, easy canter and hand gallop.
Dressage – Exhibition of riding in which the horse is controlled in certain manoeuvres by very slight
movements of the riders’ hands, legs and weight in the saddle.
Walk/Trot and Walk/Jog - Will be judged with the same criteria as the rest of the division, but the
competitors will not be asked to canter. These classes are restricted, in that the horse and rider
combination will not be permitted to enter any other classes that require a canter or lope.
Showmanship - Shall be judged on the exhibitor’s ability to fit and show a horse at halter. The
horse is merely a prop to demonstrate the ability and preparation of the exhibitor. The ideal
showmanship performance consists of poised, confident, neatly attired exhibitor leading a well groomed
and conditioned horse that quickly and efficiently performs the requested pattern with
promptness, smoothness and precision.
Trail - is the performance of a safe, sensible, well mannered horse over a course of obstacles.
At least 6 obstacles are used. Mandatory obstacles are: Gate, log/poles, and a backing
obstacle.
Western Pleasure - this class is judged on performance, condition and conformation of the
horse, however, a minimum of 20% of the judging shall be placed on conformation and
condition. Horses work the rail at a walk, jog and lope and may be asked to extend the gaits,
back easily and stand quietly.
Western Horsemanship - A class where the riders are judged on the seat and hands and the
ability to control and show the horse. There will be an individual pattern posted for this class.
Rail work may be required.
Ranch Reining. There are no lead changes, 4 spins each way. May be ridden with two hands.
Barrel Race - A race consisting of three barrels set in a clover leaf pattern, with timing to start
and end with the start/finish line.
Pole Bending - A race consisting of 6 poles with the horse and rider to negotiate weaving in and
out of the poles.
Figure 8 Stake Race - A race consisting of running in a figure 8 around two poles.
Keyhole Race - The competitor is to race into a circle measuring 20 feet, and then turn and race
out and cross the finish line.
Barnyard Scurry – Rider races to a barrel and picks up a vegetable, rides to a bucket at the other end
of the arena and drops the vegetable in the barrel. Repeated three times.
Ribbon Race (Pairs Event) – Each team of riders holds the ends of a ribbon. The judge will call out
commands.
Dash for Cash – Riders will ride to the far end of the arena, around the barrel and back. Rider with the
fastest time will win $5. per entry in the class.
Complete rules and descriptions of the classes and some games can be found in the rule book.
