Show Format

The club has decided to continue using the SPLIT/COMBINED format. Friday will be a full day and Saturday & Sunday will be split/combined.

SPLIT/COMBINED SHOW FORMAT DESCRIPTION (from AQHA website)
"Another efficient way for exhibitors to rack up more points is to attend a split/combined show. Any two consecutive shows (like a Saturday and Sunday show) can be combined into one show and split over two days. There are two judges and two sets of points and the class is held only once, a real bonus for exhibitors who are trying to qualify for the World Shows or earn year-end awards. Expect to pay two entry fees which is the norm for most split/combined shows."

Judges

Friday - Patrick Kayser from Murfreesboro, TN
Saturday & Sunday - Sandra Curl from Vero Beach, FL and Kathy Boggetta from Highland, MI

Saturday Supper

There is a dinner on Saturday after the show for competitors and volunteers.

AQHA Hunter Hack Classes

New for 2018! We will be offering youth, amateur and open hunter hack classes.  Here's how AQHA describes it:SHW625. HUNTER HACK. The purpose of hunter hack is to give horses and opportunity to show their expertise over low fences and on the flat. The hunter hack horse should move in the same style as a working hunter. The class will be judged on style over fences, even hunting pace, flat work, manners and way of going. The poll should be level with, or slightly above the withers, to allow proper impulsion behind. The head should not be carried behind the vertical, giving the appearance of intimidation, or be excessively nosed out, giving a resistant appearance.

Walk Trot Classes

We will be offering both Novice Youth (Level 1) and Novice Amateur (Level 1) Walk Trot classes.  These are AQHA approved classes.  Learn more about AQHA walk/trot class rules  go to https://www.aqha.com/journal/news/2015/october/10202015-walk-trot-2016-rules/.

We will also be offering Youth and Amateur Walk Trot Showmanship in 2018.  These are non-AQHA approved classes but will count towards your high-point Walk Trot All Around for the weekend.

Jerry Nanik Memorial Awards

In 2013, we lost a dear friend and dedicated horseman, Mr. Jerry Nanik.  He supported our shows for many years and his smiles and hugs will be dearly missed.  The club decided to implement a memorial awards in his honour and memory.  Jerry's favorite classes were halter and trail.  We will offer a youth trail award.  The prize will go to the highest point winner in youth trail over the three shows.
