Horses may not show in any levels lower than those they are qualified to enter, unless they have been granted a New Discipline Permit from an admin.
* Should you decide you would like to switch your horse over from showing high-level English to Western or vice versa you must request a permit from the admin. They must then return to showing at Green for one real life month. They must then undergo class-specific training for all classes they plan on entering in their new discipline. They lose all previous training for classes in their old discipline. Once this is completed, they may then begin showing in their new discipline.
* You may switch a show horse over to Distance/Steeplchase/Hunter at any time provided they receive the training and pass the required inspection.
