Classes for Kids at Miniature Horse Shows

In the shows, I show in Showmanship. In that class we
are judged by how we present our horse, not how the horse
looks. Sometimes, I show Dimitri in that class, but he
doesn't enjoy having to stay still during the whole class so
I don't show in it that often!

There are also regular halter classes that judge the way
that the horse looks (like a beauty pageant) and color
classes that they judge how pretty the horse's color is.
Flower Girl is a pintoloosa (paint and Appaloosa), so she
does well when we show her in those classes! There are also
costume classes where you and your horse can dress up!

There are also different driving classes, such as
pleasure driving, country pleasure, and roadster. My
favorite driving class is Single pleasure. Dimitri won
Grand Champion Youth Single Pleasure Driving Horse at the
AMHA Central Regional Championship show. I got a new cart
too that converts from regular wheels to wooden wheels so we
can take one cart and show in country and pleasure classes.

There are also jumping classes, but you have to run with
them, instead of riding them. I show Dimitri, (the black
and white gelding that I drive) in hunter and jumper
classes. Dimitri also sometimes preforms in Liberty, which
is a class where you turn the horse loose and he performs to
music. Another class the shows offer is obstacle. In this
class, you take your horse through an obstacle course just
like big horses do in "trail" classes. This picture below
is of Dimitri, ready for driving, and my friend Cortney's
horse, Batman ready for jumping.
