The yearling class is open to all registered Morgan yearlings. Both classes will be judged according to the current Morgan Breed Rules for the Morgan In Hand class, found in the current USA Equestrian Rule Book. These classes are to be judged by the Main Ring Horse Show Judge(s) who will judge independently, but concurrently. Proper evening attire is encouraged.

Judging
Entries will be called into the ring to be exhibited individually before the judge(s). The order will be drawn by lot and will be posted in the secretary's office no later than 1:00 p.m. of the day of the class. There will be a one and one half minute time limit for each individual presentation. Each entry must be presented before the judge(s) at a walk, standing and at a trot on the line and must at some point be judged standing squarely on all four feet. Each judge will score each entry a maximum of 100 points in Round 1.

After all entries have been judged individually, the scores from the judge(s) will be combined. The top ten entries will be announced in no particular order and called back into the ring to be judged as a group for final determination. Horses will be shown stretched, however, either judge may ask any entry to repeat any part of the presentation from Round 1. Each judge will score each entry a maximum of 100 points in Round 2. When the judge(s) have completed judging Round 2, the scores from Round 1 and Round 2 will be combined to determine final placing. In case of a tie, the higher score from Round 2 will be the deciding factor. In Round 2 scores are equal then the ties will be broken by entries showing in front of the judges at the pleasure of the judges.
