Q: What is an Indian Horse?

If you desire, you may trace their ancestry back to the mists of antiquity and to the dust of the Arabian desert where they were housed with honor in the black tents of the roaming Bedouin tribes. From there they traveled to Spain, were bred with Barb and Andalusian stock and became known as the best horse in the world at that time. From Spain they were brought to the New World on the ships of Columbus and the Conquistadors during the 15th and 16th centuries. The Indian Horse has gone by many names: call him cow pony or buffalo horse; mustang or Indian pony; Cayuse or Spanish pony – basically they are all the same animal.

*Q: What is the difference between a Show and a Game Day?*
A show is part of our versatility series and has at least (2) judged classes. A game day is strictly timed events and does not count as a part of our versatility series. Points from both are used for High Point awards at the end of the year
