Iowa American Saddlebred Association Academy Division Rules Judging Standards: THE HORSE IS NEVER TO BE JUDGED IN AN ACADEMY CLASS. The purpose of the Academy Division is to create an enjoyable and affordable experience for the beginning rider. SAFETY IS PAR- AMOUNT. To ensure the safety of all riders, any out of control horse is to be immediately excused. The judge must stop the class until the horse and rider have been assisted out of the ring.

Exhibitors are judged on their skills in effectively controlling the horse and showing the horse to its best ad- vantage.

Horsemanship/Showmanship/Pleasure classes are to be judged on the rider’s performance ability; i.e., how well they show/present the horse.

Equitation classes are to be judged on the rider’s basic equitation skills; riding on correct leads and diagonals, conveying an impression of effective and easy control, etc.

Horses should not be asked to back, to perform an extended trot or hand gallop.

Headers are permitted in the line-up in all Academy classes at the trainer’s discretion; no towels or whips allowed in the ring.

General: Classes may be split into appropriate age groups as determined by the horse show organizer. Management is encouraged to divide 10 and under classes into 9-10, 7-8 and 6 and under groups whenever possible and entries warrant.

The Exhibitor: Entries are limited to beginner and intermediate riders who have shown in academy classes only. Once riders have shown in regular performance classes (except driving or in hand) other than at a one day, open breed saddle club type show, they are no longer eligible to show in Academy classes. A rider who has shown & been judged in Walk/Trot classes is no longer eligible to return to Walk/Trot classes. A Rider who has shown & been judged in Walk/Trot classes is no longer eligible to show in Lead Line. Age of the rider is determined by the age as of December 1 of the previous year.

Academy drivers may be accompanied in the cart by an experienced adult who is not allowed to coach. Only a 2-wheel cart/buggy is permitted in Academy driving classes.

The Horse: Academy Division horses must be regularly used by more than one rider as a lesson horse in a professionally operated lesson program. A horse may be owned or leased by the lesson program as long as the horse is used regularly by others as a lesson horse. Horses shown in Academy classes cannot be in show training with a professional trainer.

Hoof blacking is optional; no ribbon braiding allowed. Lesson horses may cross enter into regular classes at the same show. Any breed of horse or pony is eligible.

Tack: Equipment is optional; saddle and bridle should be appropriate to the style of riding.

Rider Attire: Attire should be appropriate to the style of riding or driving. Judhpurs, breeches, dark pants, long sleeved shirt with color, tie, gloves, vest (sweaters or sweater vests are permissible). Derbies, riding suits and jackets are prohibited. Chaps are prohibited except in Western classes. No logos or stable names are allowed on any rider’s clothing or on the horse or saddle pads. All riders age 17 and under must wear protective headgear that meets or exceeds ASTM safety standards. Protective headgear is recommended for adults.

All riders age 17 and under must wear protective headgear that meets or exceeds ASTM safety standards. Protective headgear is recommended for adults. RANCH DIVISION The 2020 Un-Fair Horse Show is proud to be the first horse show to offer Ranch Division Classes according to the class specifications and rules under consideration by USEF. The entire proposed specification is provided below so that participants can familiarize them- selves with the opportunity.

What is the Ranch division? Ranch is new division that has been approved by ASHA and sent to USEF for inclusion in the ASB section of the rulebook. The offering at the Un-Fair Horse Show is the FIRST IN THE NATION Saddlebred ranch classes offered at a show. We are extremely proud to support the versatility of our breed. The ranch division is an extremely popular division adopted by other breeds. The horse should reflect the versatility, attitude, and movement of a working ranch horse. The horse should be well-trained, relaxed, quiet, soft and cadenced at all gaits. The ideal ranch horse will travel with forward movement.

What classes are offered? We are offering two of four divisions: ranch riding (pattern only) and ranch rail pleasure. Ranch riding is a pattern with a series of maneuvers designed to showcase a horse that would be pleasure to ride as a means of conveyance from one ranch task to another. Five patterns are suggested or the judge may be create a pattern with required ele- ments. It is different from a trail class in that very few obstacles are included and the emphasis is on transitions and maneuverability. Ranch rail pleasure is a rail class only. The trot and lope should be more forward moving then a western pleasure class, and the horses will also be asked to show an extended trot and extended lope which should be ground covering and show a true extension of stride.

What’s different from Western? Think of a working horse on a ranch, outside the confines of an arena. What would you want in a horse? Likely you envisioned a horse with a natural headset and a comfortable ground covering stride. You would want a responsive, agile horse with nice manners. This is the type of horse that is rewarded in ranch horse classes and the skills needed are designed to showcase these attributes. Look for quality of movement and responsive transitions.

How should my horse be presented? Good working tack without silver should be worn. A horse can be clipped or unclipped and hoof black is discouraged. The horse should have a natural main and tail and no artificial devices (tail switch etc.) should be used.

What should I wear for ranch horse classes? A long sleeve collared shirt with jeans and boots and a hat or helmet is appropriate. Chaps or chinks are permitted as are scarves or wild rags. Bright colors are permissible but riders should avoid sequins and other overly ornate details. Ranch Division Proposed USEF Rulebook Section

I. RANCH RIDING SECTION. Ranch Riding is a pattern class where each horse and rider team performs the pattern individually. There is no rail work – only pattern. The following description is from the USEF Ranch Riding section of the rulebook, Subchapter WS- Ranch Riding Section. This description includes pattern elements, attire/equipment, gaits, and penalties. a. Eligibility The purpose of the ranch riding class is to measure the ability of the horse to be a pleasure to ride while being used as a means of conveyance from performing one ranch task t to another. The horse should reflect the versatility, attitude and movement of a working ranch horse riding outside the confines of an arena. The horse should be well-trained, relaxed, quiet, soft and cadenced at all gaits. The ideal ranch horse will travel with forward movement and demonstrate an obvious lengthening of stride at extended gaits. The horse can be ridden with light contact or on a relatively loose rein without requiring undue restraint, but not show on a full drape of reins. The overall manners and responsiveness of the ranch riding horse to make timely transitions in a smooth and correct manner, as well as the quality of the movement are of primary considerations. The ideal ranch riding horse shall have a natural head carriage at each gait. b. For horses three years of age and older, offered as a junior, senior or all-age open division class, and an all age class for amateur, and youth. BOD 1/20/18 Effective 12/1/18

II. Class requirements a. Each horse will work individually, performing both required and optional maneuvers, and scored on the basis of 0 to 100, with 70 denoting an average performance. Each maneuver will receive a score that should be added or subtracted from 70 and is subject to a penalty that should be subtracted. Each maneuver will be scored on the following basis, ranging from plus 1 1/2 to minus 1 1/2.: -1 1/2 extremely poor, -1 very poor, -1/2 poor, 0 correct, +1/2 good, + 1 very good, + 1 1/2 excellent. Maneuver scores are to be determined and assessed inde pendently of penalty points. b. Maneuvers may include a side pass, turns of 360 degrees or more, change of lead (simple or flying), walk, trot, or lope over a pole(s); or some reasonable combination of maneuvers that would be reasonable for a ranch horse to perform. c. The maneuvers may be arranged in various combinations with final approval by the judge. d. The overall cadence and performance of the gaits should be as those described in WS141 Gaits, with an emphasis on forward movement, free-flowing, and ground covering for all gaits. Transitions should be performed where designated, with smoothness and responsiveness. e. No time limit. f. One of the suggested patterns may be used (found on USEF website and copied below), however a judge may utilize a different pattern as long as all required maneuvers and the three (or more) optional maneuvers are included. Should a judge use one of his/her own pat terns, it is recommended to not have the stop following an extended lope. g. The use of natural logs is encouraged. h. Posting or standing in the stirrups at the extended trot is acceptable. BOD 1/20/18 Effective 12/1/18 i. Touching or holding the saddle horn is acceptable. Ranch Division

III. Apparel and Equipment a. All legal show equipment and apparel is acceptable. b. Equipment with silver should not count over a good working outfit. Silver or bridles and saddles is discouraged. c. It is suggested competitors use a breast collar and a rear cinch. BOD 1/20/18 Effective 12/1/18

IV. Gaits a. In all gaits, movement of the ranch riding horse should simulate a horse needing to cover long distances, softly and quietly, like that of a working ranch horse with a natural topline with a bright, attentive expression, as a representation of the breed and conformation of the horse. The following terminology shall apply: b. Walk-The walk is a natural, flat footed, four-beat gait. The gait is rhythmic and ground-covering. As in all gaits, the horse should display a natural topline with a bright, attentive expression. c. Trot- The trot is a natural two-beat gait demonstrating more forward motion than the western -jog. d. Extended Trot- The extended trot is an obvious lengthening of the stride with a definite increase in pace. The horse should be moving in a manner as if it were covering a large area on a ranch with an above level topline. e. Lope- The lope is a three-beat gait. The lope should be relaxed and smooth with a natural, for ward moving stride. f. Extended Lope- The extended lope is not a run or a race but should be an obvious lengthening of the stride, demonstrating a forward, working speed. The horse should display a natural topline with a bright, attentive expression. BOD 1/20/18 Effective 12/1/18 BOD 11/12/18 Effective 4/1/19

V. Ranch Riding Penalties a. A contestant shall be penalized each time the following occur: i. One (1) point penalties: Too slow/per gait 1. Over-Bridled 2. Out of Frame 3. Break of gait at walk or jog for 2 strides or less BOD 11/12/18 Effective 4/1/19 ii. Three (3) point penalties: Break of gait at walk or jog for more than 2 strides 1. Break of gait at lope; wrong lead or out of lead 2. Excessive draped reins 3. Severe disturbance of any obstacle iii.Five (5) point penalties: Blatant disobedience (kick, bite, buck, rear, etc.) for each refusal 1. Placed below horses performing all maneuvers: Eliminates maneuver 2. Incomplete maneuver iv. Zero (0) score: Illegal equipment including hoof black, braided or banded manes, or tail exten- sions (WS105) 1. Willful abuse 2. Major disobedience or schooling v. No specific penalties will be incurred for nicks/hits on logs but deduction may be made in ma neuver score. vi. No specific penalties will be incurred for over/ under spins but deduction may be made in maneuver score. Ranch Division

II. RANCH RAIL PLEASURE SECTION I. Open to all ASB horses three years of age and older. II. This class is intended as a rail class but individuals working off the rail will not be penalized. III. The ranch rail pleasure class measures the ability of the horse to be a pleasure to ride while being used as a means of conveyance from one ranch task to another and should reflect the versatility, attitude and movement of a working horse. The horse should be well-broke, quiet and willing to perform for the rider. The horse should be ridden with light contact and without requiring undue restraint. The horse should be responsive to the rider and make timely transitions in a smooth and correct manner. The horse should be quiet in the bridle and yield to contact from the rein. The ideal ranch horse should carry his/her head in a natural position comfortable for the individual at each gait. In all gaits, movements of the ranch rail pleasure horse should simulate a horse needing to cover long distances softly and quietly, like that of a working ranch horse. This class should show the horse’s ability to work at a forward working speed while under control by the rider. The overall manners and responsiveness of the horse while performing the maneuver requirements and the horse’s quality of movement are the primary consideration. IV. The following terminology will apply: 1. Walk- The walk is a natural, flat-footed, four-beat gait. The gait shall be rhythmic and ground covering. As in all gaits, the horse should display a natural head carriage with a bright, attentive expression.

2. Trot- The trot is a natural two-beat gait demonstrating more forward movement than the Western pleasure jog.

3. Extended trot- The extended trot is an obvious lengthening of the stride with a definite increase in pace. The horse should be moving in a manner as if it were covering a large area on a ranch.

4. Lope- The lope is a three-beat gait. The lope should be relaxed and smooth with a forward moving stride.

5. Extended lope- The extended lope is not a run or a race but should be an obvious lengthening of the stride, demonstrating a forward working speed. V. Part of the evaluation of this class is on smoothness of transitions. A horse may be collected from the extended trot as the horse moves into the lope. The transition from the extended lope down to the trot is a transition to the seated trot not the extended trot. Therefore, an extra cue to achieve this gait is expected. Horses that complete this total transition within three strides calmly and obediently should be rewarded. Horses that attempt to stop or do stop prior to trotting will be penalized. Judges expect to see horses that have been trained to respond to cues. To see these cues applied discretely and the horse responding correctly could be a credit-earning situation.

VI. A horse in Ranch Rail Pleasure should be a willing, compliant partner with his/her rider but should never seem intimidated while performing any of the gaits or maneuvers. Ranch Division

VII. Ranch Rail Pleasure Penalties: 1. Too slow at any gait. 2. Over-bridled/ behind the bit. 3. Break of gait. 4. Wrong lead 5. Blatant disobedience (kick out, buck, rear) A. Major disobedience or schooling by rider B. Failure to flat walk or halt.
