Color classes are judged solely on color, not conformation. This is not "workmanship" per se,
as I believe workmanship is involved in every halter class and not to be judges singularly.
__________________________________________________________
*All foals show with adults, except in Gender class where they have their own age specific class.
*All scales show together except in the Scale Division, where they are seperated.
*All work by Thomas Bainbridge will be shown in one "fun" class, specifically for work by him. Tom
will judge this class with special awards for each placer. Please do not show any work by Tom in any other class, regardless of
judge.
I anticipate many of the classes being large, however, I have decided there will not be ANY splitting of
classes. Originally I was thinking I would but after careful consideration I have decided that NO CLASSES will
be split or divided. This is to help maintain a time schedule and isn't it always nice to win in a class that is
larger than win a class that has been diluted by splitting?
