1.  The goal of the Saddle Club Schooling Shows is to offer a series of fun and affordable shows to promote good sportsmanship and encourage equine competition in our local area while exhibiting in a friendly atmosphere.

2.  Entry Fees:  $8.00 per class for members and $12.00 for non-members.  Ribbons will be awarded to 8th place.  Only members may compete for year end awards.  Points for year end awards will accrue only from the first six classes in which a member is judged at each schooling show.  Please see the Office for membership information.

3.  Schooling:  The main show ring will be open for schooling until 8:45 a.m.  At that time the main ring will be closed for open schooling and reserved for walk/trot schooling only.  The warm-up ring located to the south of the main ring is available throughout the day for additional schooling.

4.  No cross-entry between classes 1-13 and 14-28.

5.  Jumper classes will consist of an equitation score and a time.  The two will be combined for an overall placing.  This is to encourage good horsemanship and safe riding.

6.  ASTM Approved protective headgear is required for all exhibitors.  Proper show attire is encouraged for all exhibitors.  Judges MAY take overall appearance into consideration when placing classes.
