NEW FROM 2012

Introduction of new Green as Grass 1 Class
A new entry level class has been introduced – “Green as Grass 1” This is to encourage more new riders into the sport of reining.
Any NRHA pattern can be used in this class, but simple lead changes are permitted. The class may be ridden one or two handed, but as in green as Grass 2, you may not change once you have started showing in a class. This class does not qualify for an end of year buckle as it has been introduced for riders to gain experience and confidence to enable them to compete in high divisions. Any points in Green as Grass 1 do not carry forward to higher divisions and in the two British Reining shows they will not be double pointed.
Eligibility for this class is as follows:

A – Points are set at a lifetime 20 points in any British Reining class and no NRHA earnings for the rider.
B – No AQHA points in amateur or open classes
C – When the rider exceeds any of the above criteria he or she is out of this division.
D – The rider can ride any horse.
