Question: I have a horse that is not ready to canter in a group and I want to ride him in Walk Trot English and Western Pleasures and maybe Walk Trot Trail, can I ride this same horse in the game classes even though there are no walk trot games in my age division.

Answer: Yes with the new Hi Point system this is possible. The requirements to ride a class for the performance division do not effect the game division.
