Divisions
Young Rider - Riders are eligible to compete as Young Riders until the end of the calendar year in which they turn 21. For example: Rider A turns 21 on Jan 2 and Rider B turns 21 on December 2. They can both show as Young Riders until the end of the year in which they turned 21.
Maiden - This division is for horse and rider combinations in their first year showing at the given level. This division is not restricted by age.
Open - Open division starts at the beginning of the calendar year in which one turns 22 and does have an age limit. This applies to those who ride and train for money as well as those who ride and show for pleasure.
Young Horse - Horses 6 years old and under, in this division will enter and show in the appropriate corresponding open classes, but will be able to apply for year end awards in a separate Young Horse Division with scores earned from open classes. All other qualifications and age verification requirements remain the same.
The Young Horse Division is for adult riders showing young horses age 6 and under at all levels. This is not meant to substitute or act as a preparation for the FEI Young Horse Tests, but rather provide an avenue for our competitors to bring out their young horses to compete against their equine peers. The age of the horse will be verified by one of two means: 1) using the date of birth stated on his/her registration papers, or 2) if the horse is not registered we will use the age stated on his/her Coggins test. Note: If using the Coggins as a verification for age, the test must have been drawn in the competition year. In other words, if you are identifying your horse as a 6 year old for the current competition show year, the Coggins must have been drawn within the current year. If you plan to apply for year end awards in the Young Horse division, contact the Schooling Show Chairman to submit your age verification. This only needs to be done once per show season.
Masters - Riders are eligible to compete in the Masters division starting on their birthdate and year of their 60th birthday.
