My first driving competition and first time driving my mare with other rigs
in an arena was last year at Libby.  The class was huge and all the issues
mentioned in these postings were whirling through my head.  Fortunately,
Nina was a trooper.  However, at the time, I wish I had known that classes
that large should be divided as I would have requested that be done.  What
is the procedure for class participants to request that large classes be
divided?  Or is it something that one doesn't do...as in question the judge
or show stewards?  Or who does make that decision?

I remember my daughters first show, hunter/jumper, she was 9yrs. old...was a
schooling show...The equitation class for her age group and ponies was
HUGEit got crowded in some areas on the rail...horses on each others
butts, course at that age it was cute just to see them out there in their
walk/trot classesAt one point, the wonderful young judge asked for the
ones that were so close together to make a circle on the rail and try to place
themselves not so close togetherThey ALL circled and ended right back
where they wereAll of the parents and judges thought it was a hoot...It
was a wonderful first show, all of the ponies were wellbehaved and took care
of their kids...
