ASHA ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO MAIDEN, NOVICE, LIMIT HORSE RULES
Effective December 1, 2017, the Maiden/Novice/Limit rule for the American Saddlebred horses changed to affect the entire division (Saddlebred) and not just sections (show pleasure, country pleasure, three-gaited, etc).

Below are some examples:
If a horse won three blue ribbons at USEF competitions in the ASB Show Pleasure section, that horse would be ineligible to show in any other ASB under saddle Novice section (like country pleasure, three-gaited, five-gaited, etc.). However, that same horse may be considered Nov
