To qualify, the horse must have competed in the same class (either qualifying or championship) at Signature or Mid-America Spring in the following six classes: Show Pleasure Three Gaited Junior Exhibitor, Adult or Driving; and Country Pleasure Three Gaited Junior Exhibitor, Adult or Driving. Owner and rider/driver are required to be current Mid-America members.

Mid-America Signature Horse Show
July 30-August 1, 2010 (Friday-Sunday)
Ledges Sporting Horses Stables (outdoors) - Roscoe, IL
Judge: Devon Garone, Winchester, NH

Join Us for a Fun Weekend with Your Horse Show Friends and Family!
Signature is designed to be exhibitor friendly with all the regular classes plus some "old fashion" classes that aren't held often but are great fun for participants and spectators. The Ledges outdoor arena is a lovely setting and the footing is very good. The indoor ring is available in case of inclement weather.

12 New Classes plus four TBA (To Be Announced) Classes
Signature schedule includes complete divisions for Saddlebred Pleasure -- Show, Country, Classic -- plus Open Pleasure. Also Saddlebred performance, Park, Park Pleasure, Hackney Pleasure Driving and Road Pony classes and 16 Academy classes - all on Saturday.

Exhibitors Choose A or B Season Trophy Points
For the first time, Signature exhibitors will be able to choose whether their wins earn A or B season trophy points on the MAHSA, IASPHA and ASAW high point circuits. Previously, all Signature wins earned points only toward A circuit season trophies.

No matter how the entry places in the class the highest placed B entry will get the equivalent of first place B season trophies points on the B circuit. The next highest B entry will get second place points, etc. The highest placing A entry will get the equivalent of first place A season trophy points, next highest will get second place season trophy points, etc.

Undeclared entries will get A circuit points. Does not apply to Academy entries, which get the same season trophy points at A and B shows.
