Adult Walk Jog/Trot Division
Summer Circuit will be the 3rd Area 3 show of 2011 to offer Adult Walk Jog/Trot classes. These classes are being held to encourage new adult riders to participate at the horse shows.

*New for 2011* the rules have changed so that anyone who does not have AQHA points in loping class can show walk/jog.  In other words the walk joggers can also show in any AQHA classes, until they receive an AQHA point for a loping class.

There is an added "twist" to this division as it will be a "no bling" division. Exhibitors are to show with working tack, no chaps or fancy attire.

Classes offered include:
Adult Walk Horsemanship/Equitation (no pattern - rail only)
Adult Walk Jog Trail (pattern with only walk & jog)
