UUmm..I didn't think we had to braid. When did that change?
The prize list says
"We have received a lot of input from our survey on changes to our current series set-up. We are going to try some of them for our Summer Series.
We are dividing the show into 2 sections- a schooling section where informal rider attire and minimal horse preparation will not be penalized. The second section will be a points section where formal attire and braiding will be expected and rewarded.
To reward those in the points divisions for their extra preparation, a judge will select the best turned out horse/pony/rider from each point division and the winning pair will get that division for free.
For point riders only- there will be one fun class at each show. All point riders can do that class at no charge. The winner will get a $20 Loveville Leather gift certificate.
The Schooling divisions include: Beginner Rider, Walk/Trot, Green Rider, Evergreen Pony/Horse, Short Stirrup
The Points Divisions include: Pony/Horse Equitation, Pony Pleasure, Pony Hunter, Horse Pleasure, Horse Hunter.
