20 movement of a working horse. The horse s performance should simulate a horse working outside the confines of an arena and that of a working ranch horse. This class should show the horse s ability to work at a forward, working speed while under control of the rider. Light contact should be rewarded and the horse shall not be shown on a full drape of reins. The overall manners and responsiveness of the horse while performing the maneuver requirements and the horse s quality of movement are the primary considerations. Horses should NOT perform or be rewarded for performing gaits as they do in Western Pleasure. The horses are to be presented in a more forwardmoving style than the typical Western Pleasure Horse. The horse and rider will be scored on movement, which is cadence and rhythm of gaits, smoothness and consistency in performance, along with how they perform the optional maneuvers. For rules regarding correct Western appointments, refer to MO132. Each horse will work individually, performing both required and optional maneuvers, and be scored on the basis of 0 to 100, with 70 denoting an average performance. The required maneuvers will include the walk, jog, and lope both directions; and the extended jog and extended lope going at least one direction; as well as stops, and a back. Optional maneuvers are side pass, turns of 360 degrees or more, change of lead (simple or flying), walk, jog or lope over a pole(s); or some combination of maneuvers that would be reasonable for a ranch horse to perform. The overall cadence and performance of the gaits should be free-flowing and ground covering at all gaits, with an emphasis on forward movement. Transitions should be performed where designated, with smoothness and responsiveness. 136 RANCH HORSE RAIL PLEASURE $ RANCH HORSE PLEASURE PATTERN CLASS (in covered outdoor arena) See Pattern on page 39.

No refunds of entry fees will be made without a Vet s certificate. All owners must provide their Social Security numbers on their entries in order to receive potential prize money. Winnings will not be paid without these numbers. No Winnings can be paid out until all Payees have satisfied this requirement. JUDGING PROCEDURE The Morgan Weanling Gala will be conducted in two rounds with three Judges officiating. Each round will be scored separately and no scores will carry over from round one to round two. USEF rules will prevail. FIRST ROUND In the first round, each foal will show individually. A random drawing will be held on the day preceding the class to determine the order of appearance of each foal. Any owner or trainer who is showing more than one entry and draws consecutive spots will be given a new draw. After entering the ring, each foal will have up to two minutes in which to be judged. The entry shall be judged standing and then at the trot. The handler then has the remainder of the two minutes to show the entry to its best advantage. At the end of the time allotment, the entry must immediately leave the ring. 24

25 Each entry must be waiting at the in-gate for its turn. Any entry showing out of order will have 5 points per judges card deducted from their score. In Round One, each judge may award a numerical score from 1 to 100, 100 being the highest score. After each entry has shown, the three judges scores will be added together to arrive at a final Round One score for the entry. The top ten scoring entries (eleven if there is a tie for 10th) will advance to round two. All scores from both rounds will be posted on the day following the class. When the final entry has been judged, show officials will tabulate the scores. The top ten scoring weanlings (eleven if there is a tie for 10th place) will be asked to return for Round Two. ROUND TWO After a short break, the ten foals (eleven foals if there is a tie for 10th place), will be asked to return to the ring for final judging in Round Two. These entries shall enter the ring in random order. These entries will then be judged in order of line up, both standing and at the trot. In Round Two, one judge will be designated as the call judge and the Majority Opinion System will be used. After all entries have been judged, the judges may ask to compare certain entries before marking and signing their cards. The judging cards will then be tabulated and Champion through 10th place will be awarded in reverse order. ENTRY LIST A numerical list of entries, order of appearance, sire and dam listing, and owner/handler information will be provided to the exhibitors and spectators by the Morgan Weanling Gala. 25

41 Showtime Stall Mats WE DO ALL THE WORK! MATS INSTALLED BEFORE YOU ARRIVE 7/8 THICK EVA FOAM RUBBER FOR TRACTION AND SUPPORT SANITIZED WITH SANI T-10 AFTER EACH USE SAVE MONEY ON EXTRA BEDDING PREVIOUSLY USED FOR CUSHION HAPPIER HORSES! Our heavy-duty stall mats are rented for an industry-low flat rate of $75 per stall, for the length of the show, which averages out to about the cost of the extra shavings you would use without the added cushion they provide. The best part is that we do the work for you! That s right, after you put your order in, will have the stalls matted for you when you arrive. After you re done at the show, simply load up and go. We will retrieve the mats, and most importantly, they will be washed, disinfected, and sanitized in preparation for the next show. Utilizing our service will also help safe guard your horse from those nasty bumps, bruises, and hock rubs that can occur while stalled on the cement. $75 Per stall TO ORDER: GO TO OUR WEBSITE: Or Call:
