The Mizpah Shrine Charity Horse Show is open to all breeds, types and sizes of horses and ponies, and all ability levels of horse and rider. Like all schooling shows, it offers an inexpensive way to gain confidence and skills, whether as a beginning rider taking the first steps toward the show ring or a seasoned rider bringing along a young horse. Seeing both in the same class is not unusual and in fact welcomed. Exhibitors are encouraged to "dress the part" out of respect for their hard working horses and the judge, and should always display the utmost in good sportsmanship.
