All exhibitors must present a valid membership card before the class, and show secretaries must record this number. A multiple day show (a show consisting of more than one day) may offer two Hunt Seat Medal classes.
If entries warrant (minimum 16), management must split class into two sections. For every 8 entries after 16 entries, management must continue to split into additional sections (i.e. 24 entries would split into 3 sections, 32 entries into 4 sections, 40 entries into 5 sections, and so on).
If there are not 3 riders of either or both the Junior or Adult Hunt Seat Medal qualifying class, they can be combined to meet the 3 rider minimum. Riders would show at their respective heights. Junior riders would still need a win or two seconds to qualify.
