I am very intimidated by all the professionals that are in the show ring. I do not feel that I stand a chance as a non professional. I am one of those small time horse owners that would love to take a horse and show in several classes but do not know where or how to begin. I also do not have a lot of money so I look of the 4 judge shows to get the most out of my money. As a beginner, any advice is always welcome and appreciated. I look forward to this show season and meeting many of you at the shows! I think this is a wonderful article. I am very intimidated by all the professionals that are in the show ring.

If you have less than 20 points as of January 1st in any of the 29 novice classes that may be available at the show that you are attending, you are eligible to participate in that class. Only those that have been re-classified as Non Pros, after having been professionals, are not able to take advantage of this new rule. If you have "pointed out" in the past with the 50 point overall rule, take a look at your new eligibility "by class" and go out and try something new. You'll love it!
