These classes will be open to any stock-horse type horse born in Virginia, irrespective of the breed. Participants do not need to register a horse’s sire or dam. Stallion- or mare-owners may choose to nominate their horses to receive additional publicity, but Virginia-Bred classes are automatically open to any stockhorse type born in Virginia.
