See "Show Rules" for complete rules and guidelines.
Note: Rules Have Been Amended, as of June 25, 2003, so please look!

Please note that non-freeze branded and Appendix Horses or Mules may only show in those classes that are designated for that type of animal being shown - "OPEN" classes are for freeze-branded or range-bred animals only, but all levels of experience (green through pro)

Please also note that Burros may be shown in the In-Hand or Mounted Trail right along with the horses. They are subject to the same rules as the horses/mules, but they can compete in those classes if they want to. It will not be separate ribbons, but instead being judged with the horses and mules.

Note To Show Entrants: If you can't find what you need on this website, or still have questions about showing, classes, etc.
