MAIDEN-WALK-TROT-CANTER CLASSES ON SATURDAY
We have expanded the maiden equitation division and added maiden academy pleasure classes. We hope to help the
teachers and trainers by equalizing the competition as much as possible. We now offer walk-trot-canter maiden 18 &
over, 14-17, 11-13 and 10 & under. Championship divisions for maiden walk-trot-canter are 18 & over and 17 & under.
We will continue maiden walk-trot on Sunday with age divisions 7 & under, 8-10, 11-13, and 14-17 in maiden equitation
with two maiden equitation championships – 10 & under and 11-17. We feel adult maiden is not needed. REMEMBER:
A rider showing academy maiden must never have shown outside of a barn show (except lead line and showmanship).
Maiden riders may compete at the maiden level for one show only. If a rider starts in April, they may show maiden; the
November show they will compete as beginner. The maiden academy pleasure classes (saddle seat and school type) will
be divided into 10 & under, and 11-17. There will be no maiden academy pleasure championship classes. Please refer to
the class specifications portion of the program for championship qualifications.
