SB103.12. Definition of Maiden/Novice/Limit for horses/riders/drivers.
Maiden/Novice/Limit classes are open to horses/riders/drivers who have not won one/three/six first place ribbons respectively:
- at any Federation Licensed Competitions
- OR at any non-USEF but ASHA recorded competitions
in any under saddle/driving class of any Breed and/or Discipline.
Beginning April 1, 2019 first place ribbons in any under saddle class count towards Maiden/Novice/Limit status of a horse/rider in any under saddle class but do not affect the status of a horse/driver in any driving class. Conversely, status for Maiden/Novice/Limit for Driving classes does not affect the status for Maiden/Novice/Limit in any under saddle classes.
Winning classes in Equitation, Academy, Lead Line, and/or non-cantering classes will not affect the Maiden/Novice/Limit status of a horse or rider. Ribbons won in leadline classes and in classes where entries are not required to canter will not affect Maiden, Novice and Limit Status.
