Classes
All classes are held in the indoor arena. The trail challenge is marked by the brown line on the farm picture.
- Reining - There is no particular pattern for the class. You may draw your horse cantering, loping, spinning, or performing a sliding stop. Be creative!
- Western Pleasure - Horses must be shown in a walk,jog, or lope.
- Extreme Trail Challenge - The course will have logs to jump, pull, and navigate over, a bridge to cross a ditch, a ditch to navigate (some horses may try to jump the ditch while others take their time to go across), a gate to open (a blue five foot pipe gate that will be located by woods on the fence line, marking the exit out of the pasture), mounds of dirt to go up and down. In the woods you'll have to weave through a few trees (Pine Trees mostly) and go down a hill. There are "steps" the horse must jump down. **A tipping bridge has been added to the course. Riders may dismount to complete the obstacle if the horse is frightened. *Coming Soon- enlarged map of the course, pictures of obstacles.
- Western Dressage - Same as classical dressage just in western tack.
- Halter - horse can be shown walking, jogging, or standing. There are no patterns.
- Cutting - You may show your horse and rider amongst the cows trying to pick one, be creative.

Prizes
Ribbons will be given out for 1st through 10th place.
Donations of any kind are welcome.
Judging
This is not a RNG show. Your art will be judged by effort and correctness of the horse, class, and scenery.
Registry/Show points will be given to each horse starting with 10 pts for 1st place to 1 pt for 10th place. Horses who receive the most points at the end of the series will win the championship for it's class. Your horse must be entered in the same class consecutively in or to gain points to become the champion of it's class. However, if your horse is entered in more than one class it will also gain points towards the championship for the other classes as well. It is up to you to enter it consecutively in order to get the championship award at the end of the series.
