SHOWMANSHIP:
This class focuses on the handler's ability to present the animal to best advantage, through proper handling in the show ring, as well as preparation before the show: cleanliness, grooming, hoof care and maintaining ideal body condition (in other words, not too fat, not too thin, exercised regularly for proper muscle development, etc.)
Conformation of the animal is not a consideration, except to the extent that each showman should present his/her animal to its best possible advantage, recognizing its strengths and weaknesses and compensating to the extent possible, through proper presentation. Over-showing, undue fussing, and extreme posturing are not to be rewarded, however.

15. SHOWMANSHIP - OPEN
EQUINE CITIZENSHIP (Ground Manners):
Unlike domestic equines, that are usually purchased already trained, one first has to tame and train a wild one. Equine Citizenship classes offer an opportunity for adopters to show their good work in bringing their wild equines to a stage of gentling and training where the animal is adjusting well to domestic life and handling, even though saddle training may be a ways off yet. All species & genders combined.
These classes – new last year and very popular - are designed to encourage all adopters and owners of mustangs, mustang mules, and burros to develop safe and happy relationships with their animals. Contestants will be judged on overall Socialization, ground manners, comfort on both equine and human's part, and training to perform specific everyday tasks needed to care for the animal. Equine Citizenship is for everybody - not just "show horses."
A good Equine Citizen should:
Stand within safe and respectful distance, on slack line
Stand calmly in a relaxed, attentive manner
Allow Judge to walk up and pet the animal
Allow handler to pickup front & hind feet;
Allow Judge or handler, at judge's request, to examine mouth, teeth, ears, and eyes
Walk on lead line without pushiness, resistance, bolting, or shying;
Lower head and stand calmly for haltering
Back up willingly
Load into trailer
Yield Hindquarters on command
Yield head and shoulder to right or left to lead into a turn
Allow flag and/or rope to be gently touch body and feet
OPTIONAL: Perform one "trick" just for fun: Bow Down, Lie Down, Smile, Nod Head, etc.

B. TRAIL CLASSES (Includes requirements for Ranch Versatility Trail)
DESCRIPTION: This class contains a course with a minimum of six obstacles and is designed to show a horse's ability and willingness to perform several tasks that might be asked of him during the course of a normal day's ranch work. The horse will be judged on three gaits: walk, trot and lope, performed between the obstacles, to be determined when the judge chooses the pattern. A horse will be rewarded with higher credit for performing these gaits on the correct lead and with an alert attitude. The desired performance is an animal that is willing, responsive, calm, under complete control of the rider, smooth and relaxed in movements. Three tries are allowed for each obstacle, after which the competitor must move on, with no points allowed for that obstacle. If the judge sees a safety issue, the handler or rider may be asked to move on before completing three tries. Animals that are deemed to be out of control may be disqualified, at the judge's discretion. Obstacles may include, but are not limited to, the following:
For those entered in the Ranch Versatility Series, there will be an additional set of obstacles, consisting of:

WESTERN PLEASURE/RANCH RIDING
This class on the rail shows the horse's ability to move at a working speed with a rider. Horses will be shown at three gaits: walk, trot and lope, in each direction of the arena. Riders should sit the extended jog. Horses will be asked to change directions while on the rail, and to stop and back. A horse will be given credit for traveling with his head held in a normal position, ears alert and moving at a natural speed for the gait requested. Credit also will be given for making a smooth transition between the gaits, for keeping the correct lead and for maintaining the gait until the judge asks for a change. A rider must show his horse with only one hand on the reins, unless the horse is being shown in a snaffle bit or hackamore (bosal). Choice of headgear and bit is rider's choice.

Wild Horse and Burro Expo Horse Show Points for all awards are accumulated by rider/horse combination. Points earned by the same rider on two horses will not be combined. Likewise, points earned by different riders on the same horse will not be combined. RIDER/HANDLER DIVISIONS (AGE BREAK, AMATEUR, OPEN) WILL BE TALLIED SEPARATELY. Each Animal-Handler pair generates its own Exhibitor Number and points calculations. If an animal is shown by more than one handler, each handler with the animal will earn separate points. Likewise, if a single exhibitor shows more than one animal, points will be accumulated separately for each one. (Example: Dobbin is ridden by Sally in the Youth classes, and by Bill in the Open classes. Dobbin and Sally are one Exhibitor/Animal pair, with their own Exhibitor number and their own points, and Bill and Dobbin are a separate Exhibitor/Animal pair, with their own number and their own points. Dobbin’s points earned with Sally do not contribute to points earned with Bill) Point System - High Points means just that: High Points. In cases where an exhibitor may not have entered every possible class for a certain award, but still has earned high points based on the classes entered, that exhibitor will win over one who entered all classes but earned fewer points. |
