Each year the East Coast Circuit runs six AQHA shows. Classes are included for all levels of ability and in particular East Coast is keen to encourage Novice Youth and Novice Amateur Competitors.

SEPTEMBER SHOW NEWS
We are pleased to welcome our judges Marilyn Randall from the USA and Susanne Zahner from Germany.
The show includes two full AQHA Shows judged split/combined, a full NRHA show, British Reining and NSBA classes as well as Small Fry and new for September Open Classes.
All NRHA, British Reining and NSBA Classes held on Saturday and Sunday will be double judged.
We have introduced some open classes in all AQHA categories as an introduction for competitors who wish to compete at western shows. The classes will be judged under AQHA rules but are open to any breed of horse and riders/exhibitors of any age who have not as a combination won 10 AQHA points.
The small fry classes are extremely popular and at the competitors request we have introduced a walk/jog trail classes. The small fry classes are open to any breed of horse or pony and competitors can be led.
Another exciting change introduced by AQHA relates to all Novice Amateur and Novice Youth Classes, the new rule enables any exhibitor to show a horse not owned by them selves in a novice youth or novice amateur class. However the owner and their immediate family still retain the ability to show the horse in any class other than the same class as the novice exhibitor. Please note that exhibitors will be required to have a novice amateur or novice youth membership to participate.
NSBA classes are offered in Trail, Western Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle, these classes are open to all registered Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosa horses, for more information please view the following web site www.nsba.com
The show will include the popular Superhorse and Circuit Awards presentations and also the inaugural presentation of the Farnam Reining Series Non Pro and Open NRHA Champions.
PLEASE CAN WE ASK THAT ALL WINNERS OF PERPETUAL TROPHIES ARRANGE FOR THEIR RETURN
