2016 Show Judging Points

Ok, I for those who really want to score good for the show these are the items we will be judging you on in each event. I hope this helps if you have any questions on any of the items just let me know.
Good luck to each of you!!! Remember this is all about the fun, safe riding! 20 points possible for each event... You must get 75% (15/20 or more) on each event to pass the level you are hoping to pass off. Remember to be at least 10-5 min early (the first shows of the day please come 15 min early to saddle) and wear jeans, cowboy boots, western shirt (button up, long sleeve, with collar), and helmet (you may wear cowboy hat for halter but have helmet in arena for western pleasure).
