Parents & Juniors: Please read the rules carefully so that you or your child will be entered in the correct class for upcoming 2009 shows! Keep in mind, that whatever age your child is AS OF DEC 31, 2008 this will be the age category that your child will fall into for the competition year of 2009. The Senior Category child is now eligible to compete in Junior Handling (Senior Classes) until the day he or she turns 18 years of age. The child ages out when he or she turns 18, so now they will not miss a whole year if he or she turns 18 at the end of that year.
