Yeah, they don't want ya'll stealing all the winnings. ;-)

I know! Here they have this stupid rule that only if you're 18 years or older you can show your horse or other horses in the Classico classes. First they banned all jinetes and amazonas, then allowed only 18 year olds to show THEIR horses. The reason being we ruin our riding position for the Mundial and bla bla. But you can still show horses in the Pleasure division... :-? I just don't understand those people in the organisation, and my mom's one of them .

I saw that! I was really sad to hear that all the old people get the REAL money ( Lori you are excluded on the OLD people part ;-) )!!!
So I think I will just have my trainer show my stallion and we split the winnings. :D
Although I read that if you were under 18 you could not show in A/O I did not see were it said professinal classes, but it is still an outrage! lol but I am SOOOOO HAPPY to see that the grand prix is going to TAMPA FOR A SHOW!! WAHOO!!! maybe that will get the PFHA's attention to take some shows back there!
Do you guys think that there will be alot or less people attending the one in Tampa?
