So I'm thinking ahead a few years (bearing in mind he's only 3.5) and I need edumacating about all these newfangled low/nonrated jumper divisions, if you please! (I always hated doing the jumpers, have no desire to do it with him myself, and honestly the last time I did it was when the lowest possible jumper division at a rated show was Juniors at what was it, 3'9" to 4'?) So I'm trying to figure out what Q's possible trajectory would/should be as he moves ahead w/ his schooling for the next few years. For openers, could someone kindly tell me WHICH low/non-rated divisions he would be eligible for in each of the following circumstances: 1) If a Junior rides him; 2) If an ammie rides him who is not the owner; and 3) If the trainer rides him? Thanks!

Shunnnnn the unbeliever. Shunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Posts: 421 Group: Members Member #533 Joined: January 22, 2007	All three riders can ride in the 0.85/0.95/1.00m jumper classes. These are just height designated. (2'9"/3'0"/3'3" approx) The height classes are the only ones pros can ride in. Junior riders can ride in Pre-Childrens Jumpers (0.95m) Ammie riders can ride in Pre-Adult Jumpers (0.95m) Often Pre-Child/Adult jumpers are run together. After that, you go to Child/Adult Jumpers (junior/ammie riders) at 1.10. (3'6") Most shows have open classes at every height, also. From 0.85m all the way to 1.20m or 1.30m. (What used to be Level 0-Level 6) Clear as mud, maybe? :0
