The judge reserves the right to excuse any horse displaying obvious lameness or danger.23. When the start of any class is delayed by horses or handlers not ready to perform, the class may be closed at theorder of the judge or the show manager provided a warning is issued and the competitor is given 3 minutes toappear at the in-gate ready to participate.24. Two-year-olds must show in halter and may show in the two-year-old futurity driving class, if desired. Ribbonsand payouts will be awarded in each class.25. Three-year-olds must show in halter and must either ride or drive. Two or four wheeled vehicles may be usedin the driving class. The ridden class will include both western and English styles of riding. Ribbons will beawarded in each class, however, there will be no payouts for individual three-year-old classes. Performance andhalter results for three-year-olds will be combined to determine overall payouts and an overall Champion andReserve Champion. In case of a tie, the best halter placing will determine the winner.26. Payouts and ribbons will be awarded to ten places unless fewer than 10 horses are shown.27. Weanling, yearling and two-year-old monies will be paid to exhibitors by proportional calculation. The totalpayout per age group will be divided by the total number of horses entered in that age group, both draft andpleasure. The resulting figure is multiplied by the number of horses actually entered in each respective division(draft/pleasure). Payouts for weanling, yearling and two-year-old classes will be as follows: 1 st (28%), 2 nd(20%), 3 rd (11%), 4 th (9%), 5 th (8%), 6 th (7%), 7 th (6%), 8 th (5%), 9 th (4%) and 10 th (2%). If fewer than 10 entriesare shown in the class, unpaid earnings will be carried over to next year for the respective age group (i.e. 2005yearling amount carried over to the 2006 two-year-old pot).28. The three-year-old class is a 100% payout. The 2005 S.I.P. payout schedule will be used for calculatingthree-year-old payouts.29. Any outstanding fees (i.e. stabling) owed by the owner must be paid in full before payout checks will beawarded.30. The judge’s decision is final.1/05 VII-A-281
