The ASB "industry", meaning no one is exempted, needs to learn to accept and promote change. We will only grow if we change and try new classes and programs. Adding a hunter over fences class does not detract from other classes or divisions.

I am a fan of Hunters and Jumpers; but do not overlook the investment in jumps, nor the set-up and knockdown time and extra ring crew necessary to stage the classes. Committing to that, I would love to see over fences classes that might encourage more participation and spectator interest.
