Frequently Used Show Terms and Their Meaning
"Premium List"	A fancy way of saying "List of the classes in the show".
"Halter Class"	Your horse's "conformation" ( body shape, legs, etc. ) is being judged.
"Color Class"	Your horse's color is being judged in a higher percentage than it's conformation.
"Performance Class"	Your  horse is being judged on something he is "doing" like riding, driving, obstacle, jumping.
"Ring Steward"	This is the person who tells you when to go into the arena and occasionally also readies the next class to head in.  Listen to your RING STEWARD for instructions.
"Tack Change"	If you are coming out of one class and you need to either get some different tack, or saddle up, or get your driving gear ready, tell your RING STEWARD that you are THERE but you need a "tack change".  They will then hold the show since they know you are there.  But still hurry.
