Equitation on the Rail is judged on the rider's knowledge and application of classic seat and aids.  Riders will stay on the rail in a group and follow the instructions given by the announcer. 
Equitation Patterns are judged on the rider's ability to perform a set of instructions that are written on a sheet of paper.  Each rider exhibits one at a time.  The patterns will be simple and will be handed out to the riders on the morning of show day. 
Fun Classes are a chance to play a game on horseback.  Winners get prizes - All participants will get a surprise.
Trail Classes judge the performance of the rider and horse team over obstacles that are encountered out on the trail.
