The file with the rules and information also has links this time with some example videos.  Please take time to watch some of these per the classes you would like to enter.  


PLEASE HAVE THE PERSON WHO WILL BE RECORDING YOUR CLASS READ THE RULES IN THEIR ENTIRETY AS WELL AS WATCH THE EXAMPLE VIDEOS, ESPECIALLY THE HALTER VIDEO, SO THEY KNOW WHAT IS EXPECTED; WHERE TO STAND, WHERE TO MOVE TO,  and WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWN TO THE JUDGE (remember;  the camera is the judge and without a good videographer, you will get a poor quality video which could count against you if our real judge can’t see what she would have seen in person.   

Showbill ~ Class List/Rules/Information/Pattern

The files below contain the Showbill and a file that has all the rules, information, and patterns.    In addition, there are links at the end of the rule's file with links to YouTube videos with examples of how to perform some of these classes to the best of your and your horse's ability.   These links are also on this page under the payment section.   It would be helpful to have the showbill and rules pulled up while watching the videos.


Below the files is the entry form with directions.  Please read the directions at the bottom of the form prior to filling it out.  Below the entry form is the online payment section where you can pay through PayPal.


Videos must be converted to YouTube links and sent to icaa@icaainc.com.

EXAMPLE VideoS BELOW

HALTER CLASSES

This is a very good training video that is also using our pattern, other than they are trotting to Cone C and we are walking as per the pattern and instructions. The sound quality could be better, but turn up the volume a bit and it should be fine. Watch to the end as they complete the pattern and the judge’s inspection (other than they showcase how to show the horse’s teeth at the beginning, where your video will be showing this at Cone C [he makes a comment at that point of the video]).

Note the following that will be helpful for your Halter Classes:

  • How to show the horse’s teeth by parting their lips a bit
  • How the horse goes easily into a jog-trot when requested
  • How the handler squares up the horse properly at Cone C (touching is permitted)
  • How the handler moves to the side of the horse opposite the judge so the judge can see the horse

HUNTER IN HAND

Note the following that will be helpful for your HIH Class:

  • The horse is not standing square, which is standard for most halter classes. He is standing in the “open” position, with all four legs showing, that is required for the HIH
  • The horse can be braided (mane and tail) if desired but not required

WALK/TROT WESTERN PLEASURE

A good example of a Walk/Trot pleasure class, in which the horse actually jog-trots as is how pleasure classes are shown. Good backup at the end

WESTERN PLEASURE CLASSES

Western Pleasure classes are much slower-paced than Ranch Riding, as you’ll see in that video.  Horse number 269 is the horse showcased and is a nice example, as the horses in so many pleasure classes look lethargic and this one does not. His slow lope still looks like an actual lope in the back, whereas some go so slow that they almost look like they’re trotting in the back. We do not want our horses to look lethargic, but the pleasure classes are meant to be a very slow pace, with jog-trotting, extended jog, slow lope, and extended lope without much speed.

Notes about this video:

  • The horse is not showing the reverse in this video, but when reversing, the horse is to turn towards the center of the ring
  • The horse should be on the correct lead
  • The horse should not break gait
  • While not shown in the video, the horse is to back up at the end as per our rules

RANCH RIDING

Note the faster pace of the Ranch Riding vs the slow pace of the pleasure classes. They are not jog-trotting, they are in an actual ground-covering trot and extended trot, and they are not slow loping, but in a faster lope and extended lope. 

Notes:

  • While our pattern is different than the video, and they are showing almost a spin in one complete circle both ways at the end, note the way the horse is turning on his haunches. When reversing per our pattern, the horse will need to stop and make a 1.5 turn to the right. This should be done on the haunches as much as possible as in the video
  • Horse should not break gait
  • You will be required to sidepass as per the rules/pattern, which is not done in the video

LIBERTY

  

This is the closest to perfection video we could find of a liberty class. This is a Minature with a great display of playing, cutting up and bucking, flying lead changes, extended trot, animation, and personality. Your horse should show a walk, if possible, as showing all three gaits is best. The catch took two tries rather than one in this video, but still a very good catch.
