Hmm..this is all it says on the entry form: Cross-entry is not allowed between Rescue Horse classes and Non-Rescue Horse classes. Cross-entry will be allowed between Rescue or Non-Rescue and Senior Horse classes, provided the horse is 15 or older. • Cross-entry will be allowed between Walk/Trot classes and Walk/Trot/Canter classes • Cross-entry will not be allowed between 16 & over and Over The Hill (40+)
Bonnie?

I think if we allow cross-entry between walk/trot and walk/trot/canter then we should allow cross-entry between walk-only and walk-trot, but not walk only and walk-trot-canter. JMHO

I have a beginner student who wants to ride Biff in walk/trot, but I want to put them in walk -only first to make sure that he will be a good boy for her, and to give her (and me) an idea of how he will respond in a show environment before putting her in walk/trot. Since this will be the first show experience for both of them, I want to make sure that the first time in the arena is a positive experience by introducing them to the show ring in as least-threatening manner as I can before letting them progress to a more "challenging" class to "show off" what they have (both) been working so hard on! And I feel the same way about walk/trot cross entry to w/t/c. I consider the former a "warm-up" or "schooling class" for the latter, which should be where the rider is riding. If my student (or the horse, for that matter) were comfortably doing w/t/c, then they should be a good enough rider to not need the walk-only "warm-up class."

Since this will be Sasha's first show, my trainer and I agreed this would be important to make sure she would be okay in the walk/trot classes. M

Okay, good points made by all! I have changed the entry form to say that we will allow cross entry between walk only and walk-trot. Thanks for the input, everyone!

What about cart classes? Classes for mini's? Breed specific classes? Will this be PAC approved?

It may be too late and there might not be enough interest, but something to keep in mind for next year - found on COTH
CHAMPION HURDLE winner Brave Inca, who was retired from racing in May after an illustrious career, was back in the number one spot in a new role on Saturday when he won the inaugural Racehorse to Riding Horse Class at the Failte Ireland Dublin Horse Show.
The competition, sponsored by Good Food Ireland, attracted 21 entries and was introduced to identify retired racehorses who would make useful and suitable riding horses and the judging of the class was based on the ride, manners and conformation.
Brave Inca, who won ten Grade 1 races as a racehorse, was ridden in the class by Kirsteen Reid, who works at an equestrian centre near trainer Colm Murphy's County Wexford yard.
Kicking King, the 2005 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, was placed fourth and former dual champion chaser Moscow Flyer was fifth.
Murphy said: "Brave Inca is still in our yard and enjoying his retirement. He had a good day out today and everything went well. I'm sipping champagne and I thought those days were over!"
