Every class offered herein is covered by the rules and specifications of the current rules of Horse Council BC and will be held and judged in accordance with the Horse Council BC Rules Book. Participants are responsible for knowledge of the rules under which they are competing.

All individual Walk, Trot, and Canter classes will be offered with one rounds, with separate goes for compulsories and freestyle in each round.
