This could be really fun for someone.  I'm looking for 50 tough to
really tough trivia questions about horses, the equestrian world,
riders, trainers, or anything else relating to the industry.  Ideally,
the questions will have some relation to English riding, Hunter and
Jumper, or Dressage.  Questions shouldn't really be related to Western
riding or trail riding.  More competition focused.  This is for a
class project for my students, but I haven't the time to do the
research.  Thanks for whomever might help.

Q4. Can anyone participate in most of the rated hunter divisions at Devon?
A4. No, you have to earn enough points to qualify to be eligible to enter.

Q5. If someone said to you: "I'm showing my gelding in the strip
class" what type of hunter class would they be referring to?

I'll try to think of more if time permits.
