is to be on the quality of the stockmanship and handling in the showring by the young

handler. Rosettes will be provided to all entrants by the Clydesdale Horse Society.

(Note that youngsters may still compete in the final at the Royal Highland although

they may have turned 17 by that point. The qualifying cut off date is the actual day of
