Classics
Classics are big shows that have several classes that you may enter. You may enter any or all of these classes. The classes are all judged separately. You can have unlimited entries. The following is an explanation of the rules and judging for each class.
-Halter: Same rules/judging as the Open Show (listed above), except that you are allowed unlimited entries.
-Dressage: Dressage tests the quality of the horse's movement. You must enter a picture of your horse at a "trot" (the equivalent of the walk for dogz). The horse should be looking either to the side or to the camera. The horse's legs should form an "M." The horse should look relaxed. For dressage, all the entrants are judged together. They are not divided up into breeds or groups. The judge will award a first place, second place, third place, and HM (Honorable Mention). First is only awarded if there are two or more entries. The places after first place are only awarded if there are at least two other entries left. For example, there must be at least three horses entered in the class in order to award second place, at least four horses in order to award third place, and so on.
-Hunters: This is a jumping class that is judged on the horse's form while jumping. To enter, you must submit a picture of your horse jumping through the gold hoop. The horse should be looking foward. The entrants are all judged together and are not divided up by group or breed. The judge will carefully look at the form of each animal and award first place, second place, third place, and HM (Honorable Mention). First place is only awarded if there are two or more entries. The places after first place are only awarded if there are at least two other entries left. For example, there must be at least three horses entered in the class in order to award second place, at least four horses in order to award third place, and so on.
-Baby Halter: This class is for young horses who are not yet full grown. It follows the same rules/judging as the Open Show (listed above), except that the horses are not full grown and you are allowed unlimited entries.
-Champions Competition: Only LSAPC horse champions that have proof (list on LSAPC site) are allowed to compete in this competition. Horses are judged similar to those in the Open Show format though the wins go towards their GrCH title and do not effect any horses besides the champions.
