EXTRAS AND TRAINING

Extras and RPing with others is heavily encouraged! We love to see your competing horses and handlers having a good time while showing. While this is an in-hand show, horses still need exercise and training, so riding/show training is permitted as an extra! There are no limits to extras -- just that they have to show some sort of effort (nice and neat).

!NOTE!

There is no limit to extras, but be aware -- the more of them you do, the higher expectations  judges will have for your main entry! You can have ten or more extras than everyone else and still get last!
