IA-DAK Summer Showdown Awards

New this year at the IA-DAK Summer Showdown is the Champion of Champions class!

 Guidelines for the class are as follows: 

• This class is offered to Grand Champion Halter horses/Ponies from all OPEN division halter classes from selected Judge. 
• All 3 judges names will be put in a hat and 1 name will be picked to have all their AMHR Grand Champions return to compete.  That name will be put back in the hat and selection will be repeated (described above) for ASPC Grand Champions.   The selection shall be done at the beginning of the show and judge will be informed but it will not be announced until later in the day of the first day of the show. 
• If an exhibitor has more than 1 horse eligible for this class, he/she will be allowed to do the trot pass inspection of the horse/pony then will have a handler step in to continue to show the horse. He/she then can do the trot pass inspection with their next eligible horse.

*This is a non-rated class that is offered by the Club and not affiliated with ASPC/AMHR awards.
