    The shows are usually 4 judge shows (so 4 shows but in one weekend). The big one in August is a 6 judge show!

    So....its about $10 a class I think PER judge, so if its a 4 judge show its $40 just to show in the one class + there is an office fee (I think the office fee is around $10-20 PER horse) + there is your stall fee....when I show all-around I probably spend close to or more than $400 a weekend.

    Showing just a yearling, or I guess with one horse, and only in one or two classes your probably looking at spending close to $100 dollars just in entry fees.

    I do suggest comming to watch a show before entering in one, just to get an idea of how things are run! It is like your average open show, but there is alot more "precision" and "perciseness" than at open shows and it does help if you watch one before showing in one (i wish I had done that back in the day lol).

    Eeeeeeeeek!!! I'll definately come watch the one in Calgary!!!

    How expensive? That's a strange point system... how could you even show 3 horses!!

    Nope, you have to have 3 horses in a class in order to earn a point, which is why its almost pointless to show with a breeding stock (unfortaunetaly, someone has to start some where but breed shows are EXPENSIVE).

    Katie will be at the August show (6-9) and yes, at the Calgary Show....and undersaddle to be exact!

    Ohhhh right... the points. and the money! AHhhh! So if only one horse showed, they would get a point or what?

    I doubt I'd do a futurity class as Molly hasn't even been handled for a few months. Are you taking Katie in that!!?

    Yes, they actually let one horse show in a class.

    what do you mean what else do I show for? Mainly, when ur doing breed shows you want to earn points, you dont get money back for winning anything unless you do a futurity class, which btw: solid paints can show in with the colored ones...those are the ONLY classes that solids can compete against colored.
