Small Equine

The small equine in-hand division was developed to provide a place for horse project members whose equine may be too small to ride. Small Equine In-Hand classes are open to any equine (miniature horse, pony, donkey or mule) that is 48” or less when measured at the highest point of the withers.

Height categories are used for setting jump and obstacle dimensions. Based on their measurement, equines shall be assigned to the appropriate height category as described below:

● Category A: Under 34” (and in jumping classes, all donkeys)

● Category B: 34” up to, but not including, 38”

● Category C: 38” and over, through 48”

When does it meet?
Small equine and driving shows are the same weekend and location of the performance shows.

How is it judged?
All classes are judged on the Danish system. Medals are offered for Showmanship. All classes award placings from 1^st – 8^th.
