Much time and expense goes into taking a horse to Nationals and the cuts should be equivalent to the number of horses in the class eve if that means they have to be shown more. This is only fair and just o all who have entered a particular class.

]]> Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:10:06 UTC 6346795 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6346508?utm_medium=rss I actually believe it benefits the show's potential future entries. I have competed in the past and one year came home with only a cuts ribbon from the class I entered. It was earned and enjoyed . The cut "win" vaildates the experience and makes you feel next time you will get the Top win and not get discouraged and not try another time.

It's ridiculous to only pick 8 from a class 20. It would be different if the numbers were down. For example, the WP 18-35 only has 28 horses entered for the whole class. So, in that situation they WILL have to pick smaller groups to progress to the SF/F-- but 40 in a class? We spend an awful lot of money to get to U.S. and expect fairness

This is not even 1/2 of the class to move forward to the next round.

It has 37 horses entered in it and only has an A/B cut. This could be a bit tight with some of the older riders. I totally agree that the cuts should be there. This show is over a week long, but then cuts classes... We are there to show our horses, and give us the opportunity to advance. I think we should be given the opportunity to show and advance through the cuts.

People pay all this money to get their horses seen. There is no way for judges to judge properally with 20+ horses in a class.

I hope this can be resolved so we can all have a fair chance at nationals. Thanks

]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:32:06 UTC 6258187 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6256017?utm_medium=rss The rule book states that classes with 36 or more may be split into two or three sections. It says consideration is to be given to the type of class and allow the exhibitor the best chance to show their horse. Amateurs!!!! Honestly, do it however you want, but do it THE SAME! I made my plans based on what was done last year - now the classes with the same numbers have been cancelled?? This is crazy. Why can't you just leave the schedule alone so people can make plans??

]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:18:41 UTC 6256017 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6255867?utm_medium=rss there should be a permanent standard re; number of horses per cut that is folowed through out the division IE in regular classes, regional classes and at Nationals.

It cost my client nearly $1600 just to enter this class and get stabling for her horse. With no cuts, she will be riding a junior horse in a class of 24 other Amateur riders on Junior Country horses. This is her first ever trip to Nationals and I do not feel she is going to get a fair shot in those conditions, nor will she want to return. This is liable to be a chain reaction class where one horse's mess up in heavy traffic can ruin many other riders.

Because I recently purchased this horse she was a late entry, meaning I paid $1005 for entering this one class alone. I decided not to exhibit in my age group, as the first cut was the same day and I felt that was too much to ask of a 4 year old. This is the one class I will be showing in, and I want a fair shot.

]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2009 04:18:50 UTC 6251868 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6251849?utm_medium=rss I personally think there should never be more than about 15 horses in a cut. Especially in hunter classes where Arabians have to hand gallop in smaller rings. If the class is too crowded you have to spend more time staying out of trouble instead of just trying to show off your horse and having your very best ride!!

It will make it a better all the way around. When showing in a class of 20 sometimes 30 it is very difficult to "show" your horse you spend all your time dealing with traffic, placement, and trying to avoid "problem" horses that it really is unfair. I believe there should be no more than 12-15 horses in a cut. Especially at the larger shows. They build these enormous center ring areas and really limits the size of the ring! Please think about it.

Its harder to get the chance to show your horse to the judge when there is 20 to 24 horses in a A B cut... Then you are only going to take 8 from there, some people are defeating themselves before they go in...

]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2009 08:16:48 UTC 6250580 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6250540?utm_medium=rss It is important for the health of U.S. Nationals that exhibitors know that they have a fair chance for the judges to see their horse. 20 horses in a class that important seems to be too many for everyone to get a chance to be seen.

]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:17:41 UTC 6249654 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6249622?utm_medium=rss I totally agree! As amateurs we send our time and lots of our money to show at U.S. and I want to show as many times as I can.
