I do think that is in a different category than dog Conformation shows. They do have horse shows for studs and fillies. Walk and Trot classes. (I've been doing a lot of horse talk with horse people lately... back to my teens and in love with horses all over again) Although in cat shows, there are classes for fixed cats and for pet cats. (and Cat Agility:) Same thing... It depends on the purpose of the event and then, more so I guess, on what each exhibitor sees as the purpose as it pertains to him/herself.
