Each class runs as a two round hunter derby with numerical scoring. The handy round is held on the outside course with natural obstacles. Derbies are not restricted as far as horse or rider status. Cross-entry between the Sapling and Pines Derby is permitted with the same or different horse/rider combination. However, a horse may compete in only one height section of either derby.
