Juveniles age 12 & older may show in Amateur Classes:Juveniles age 12 & older will be allowed to compete in Amateur Classes (as well as their Juvenile Division Classes).  Juveniles showing in Amateur Classes will receive points as a Juvenile, not Amateur.  This is to allow Juveniles age 12 & older riding stallions a class in which to show, as well as to increase class/show participation.

Changes Regarding Year End Awards:  Effective, beginning in 2008, there will be only one Trainer of the Year Award, which will be an overall Trainer Award.  The Trainer will receive points from all horses trained by himself/herself, points from the wins of his Amateur & Juvenile trained horses, as well as horses exhibited by himself/herself, the overall tally of all points, combined, will determine the winner of the Trainer of the Year Award.  (This will eliminate the second Trainer of the Year Award, which has been presented in the past, to the trainer of Amateur & Juvenile Horses)

We will be presenting two new Awards, Amateur of the Year & Juvenile of the Year.  These awards will be a tally of points received by an exhibitor, in their classes, throughout the year, regardless of how many different horses are exhibited in various classes, within your division.  (Please refer to Rule Above, regarding Juveniles age 12-17 showing in Amateur Classes--these entries will receive Juvenile Points, not Amateur points)

We feel it is time to honor all exhibitors, Juveniles, Amateurs, as well as Trainers, with an overall, Horse of the Year Award, a tally of the most points earned.  (Horse of the Year Awards are still to be awarded in the class divisions).  It is very important to participate at all shows, to earn the most points.

14-2 hands & under Rule Change:  The 14-2 Hands & Under Class has been changed to 15 Hands & Under, to accomodate more entries, as our breed has grown in size.
