GRASSROOTS DIVISION
This division was developed while trying to find a way to help provide youth with an introductory show experience. These classes are for youth with or without a registered American Quarter Horse.  It's something that's not too expensive and provides them with the chance to compete in a show environment

The criteria for this division are as follows:

  • Youth 18 years of age & under who have not previously won any points at a breed show.
  • May show any breed of registered or non-registered horse.
  • It's as simple as that!

Six Grass Roots classes are offered at our show:

  1. Showmanship
  2. Hunter Under Saddle
  3. Hunt Seat Equitation
  4. Western Pleasure
  5. Western Horsemanship
  6. Trail
