I think you are misreading what is going on. The rule you are seeing is an
old rule and has been in the Rule Book for sometime. The changes in the
Wheelhorse concerning it state that it is a housekeeping change, ie they are
moving it to the more appropriate SECTION of the Rule Book. It is NOT a new
rule. Nothing is going to change with regard to what it says. For Pleasure
Shows, organizers have the option of offering a section specifically for
Draft Breeds and appropriate classes. The same applies to gaited horses. I
know people who drive gaited horses and can't compete because of not having
a "trot" so, if an organizer feels there is enough to warrant a division,
they may offer one and those horses may then compete without penalty for
their lack of "trot" or whatever. Drafts can compete in their appropriate
equipment and harness.
Please rest assured that this is not a new rule or going to change anything
as I read it.

Sorry... I should not have assumed that everyone has access to the new ADS
Rules. See New Rule 33.1 and 33.2. Basically it says that mules, donkeys,
asses, drafts and minis may enter pleasure shows at the Management's
discretion and owners of these critters should contact the management before
showing up. Rule 33.2 says Management is encouraged to offer "special
classes" for those listed above and for gaited horses.
I am not sure where "draft" starts, and cross bred-or Fresian- ends.
If you try to look up "gaited horses" on the inter-net, hackneys are listed
as are saddlebreds, gaited morgans and a lot more. "Gaited" on these web
pages seems to be selected breeds.
This position (and need for a definition of both draft and gaited) seemd to
me to be of import to people driving pleasure multiples. If not, deepest
apologies for being off topic. Marged HArris
