Fitting & Showing is a showmanship class. It's showing off your horse, your pizazz and your knowledge as a handler. Fitting & Showing is judged on presentation of horse and handler, "Quartering System" (kids must have their horses stand under themselves square, and move from near side to far side (left and right sides) so as to never block the Judge's view of their animal.Fitting & Showing is hard.
