Young Handlers Rules

Young Handlers must be aged 12 to 16 on the day of the show. Handlers may

compete in any number of young handlers classes in any year but they may only

qualify once in any given year. If the handlers placed in a class have already qualified

in 2012 then the qualifying place must go down the line to the first available non

qualifier. Only animals that have already competed in the normal show or driving

classes may be used. Entire colts are not allowed. Judging of this class is not to be on

the merits of the animals – it is to be on the quality of the stockmanship and handling

in the showring by the young handler. Rosettes will be provided to all entrants by the

Clydesdale Horse Society.

(Note that youngsters may still compete in the final at the Royal Highland although

they may have turned 17 by that point. The qualifying cut off date is the actual day of
