and Bob, who bred another top three-year-old. “At all the shows we’ve entered, if my horse wins, then Bob’s places second. If Bob wins, Cracker- jac places second. We’ve shared many trophies this year!” Tom said. Roman competes both horses. After showing for a season in
regional competitions, Custom Crackerjac will head to Okla- homa City this month for the National championships. Look for results to be posted on T e Equiery’s Western Blog later this month.

nounced on October 3 that the AQHA Ex- ecutive Committee approved a competition leveling plan that will be phased in over the next two competition seasons. T e leveling plan was developed and recommended by the AQHA Blue-Ribbon Task Force and will be fully im-
plemented in 2013. Leveling involved the addition of six new
levels: Rookie (based on the exhibitor and horse’s experience/points combined and designed to be the true entry into AQHA competition), Novice (based on the exhibi- tor’s experience), Green (based on the horse’s experience), Intermediate (based on the ex- hibitor’s experience), Progressive (based on the horse’s experience) and Open. T is year, AQHA tested the Rookie classes at 10 AQHA-approved shows and reported much success. “It’s exciting, and what I really love is that it’s defi nitive. Every sport has a handicapping system, and this is AQHA’s handicapping system,” AQHA Executive Director of Shows Patti Carter-Pratt said. In 2012, the Rookie horse and exhibitor
level will offi cially be implemented. T us, Rookie classes within shows will be an op- tion that show organizers may off er. Rookie
classes will be off ered in open, amateur and youth divisions.
