I will be showing for my first time next year at the county fair (I live in Minnesota and I am 15) and I am wanting to know if I can show my horse if she is unregistered? Thanks!
if your county is like ours then yes. They HAVE classes for registered horses but they have open classes, unregistered pure classes as well. And if you do barrel racing etc at the show then it doesn’t matter on breed just your age. But you need health papers, coggins etc turned in advanced. When it gets closer to the show see if your extension office has a fair book or some sort with everything you need to know! Good Luck
