What are competitions like?
A. Competitions are usually one or two days on the weekend. All riders are placed in a division corresponding to their skill level, from Walk/Trot to Open, at the discretion of the team coach. Riders compete in their division and earn points for each place (7 for first place, and so on) until they point out of their division into the next one. Points are also part of the process used to determine who qualifies for Regionals, Zones, and Nationals.
