Fat N Fuzzy Show Awards
CROSSOVER FEE: There has been some confusion on the crossover fee. It is to help REDUCE the cost to the exhibitor with multiple people showing one horse.
If two or more people are showing a horse that is in multiple classes or has a flat fee on it then the one time crossover fee can be paid instead of the the class fee for those classes. (i.e. a horse/trainer showing with an open flat fee or multiple classes wanting to add an AM in two or more classes can pay the crossover fee in lieu of the AM class fees). It may not always apply; the lesser amount paid is in favor of the exhibitor. It may not always apply as in some cases it may be cheaper for the exhibitor to just pay the regular class fees. The crossover mainly applies to an AM/Open combination as most of the youth are members and are showing for free.
