AGE CLASSES
● Pewee: 12 years old and under
● Youth: 18 years old and under
● Open: All ages
Your class is determined by your age as of JANUARY 21, 2022
NOTE: Youth riders cannot run in both the Pewee and Youth classes. These riders must select a class best suited for their current skill level if they are within the Pewee age bracket. This allows us to more equitably distribute awards among children.
NOTE: Each horse can only be entered ONCE in each class. The hose CAN have different riders in the same class.
DIVISIONAL SPLITS
New to 2023- The Pewee class will have full second splits between each division.
Open and Youth classes will be split in the traditional manner:
