I'm pretty sure. Classes that are open to the public that can't or wish to not point in AQHA will have and astrick by them or say so I would think.

If I remember correctly that's how the herndon show had their prize list. I would talk to D next time you see her.

I looked for the dates and didn't see them. I should be attending depends on dates and if I have the new one.

Were is the show in July suppose to be held. I heard the Black Eyed Susan Quarter Horse Show is moving to the the Kentucky Horse Park. Is this the show you are talking about or is a different show all together.

I assume (AND you know what that can mean!) that AQHA is similar to the ApHC and that open classes refers to open to all registered ApHC horses/riders or in this case all registered QH. The open classes at ApHC are mostly dominated by the pros and trainers, because they can not ride in the novice or non-pro/amateur classes. However, sometimes an individual AphC club will sponsor a Open Show which can then be open to the public.
But it would be best to ask a good QH peep, and that should be very easy for you to do! Besides all the barn stuff I miss from where you are boarding, I miss the fire place, coffee, AND FOOD!!!

I am so confused on the show..oh well..I am sure the QH person can resolve it for me.

Last year the Black Eyed Susan was held in Culpepper. and They are two different shows I think well they use to be.

I don't think they would move the B.E.S to the Kentucky horse park because of distance but I could be wrong

Guess I can blame the craziness on my Mom's goofy friend that was telling her that she gets to show in Lexington, KY. Can't believe everything you hear.
