USEF Status Question

Riding in the Open division does not make you a pro, it just means that you don’t qualify as an AA.[/QUOTE]

Or you’re an AA and prefer riding against pros to see how well you are doing with professionals in the sport.

But Juniors cannot compete as an AA, they have to be in either Junior or Open

Juniors are not adults, they age out and become YRs. ANYONE can ride an open class; AAs YRs and JRs

I regularly rode Open as it was the class and test I wanted on that day. Had nothing to do with comparisons, simply convenient

I was listing another option to the other poster. You have your reasons, I have mine, and others have their own. They listed that they COULD NOT and I was simply offering an alternative reason.
