New Leadline Class Added for Youth 6 & Under at the 2025 ABRA World Show

Exciting News for Our Youngest Exhibitors!

The 2025 ABRA World Show just got even more inclusive with the addition of a brand-new youth class designed specifically for our tiniest horse lovers. We’re thrilled to announce the introduction of Class 251: Leadline Halter 6 and Under, Mares and Geldings.

This class is open to youth ages 6 and under who are not entered in any other performance event at the World Show. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get our littlest equestrians into the ring in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.

Class Details & Eligibility Highlights:

• Open to mares and geldings only — no stallions permitted.

• English or Western tack is allowed.

• All entries will be judged and placed through ten (10) places.

• No ABRA points will be awarded.

• The horse does not need to be ABRA registered, and ownership or lease is not required.

• Spotter required: Each leadline exhibitor must be accompanied by a “spotter” dressed in show attire. This individual shadows the exhibitor, ready to assist only if needed.

• Designed to encourage participation and build confidence in our youngest horsemen and horsewomen.

This class celebrates the next generation of ABRA exhibitors while keeping safety and enjoyment top of mind. Whether you’re new to showing or continuing a family tradition, Leadline 6 & Under is a great way to make lifelong memories in the show ring.
