In which section would you find the criteria used to judge Western Pleasure?

Judging criteria are laid out for each class in its own section, and for Western Pleasure those specific scoring standards are published in the class-specific criteria section for Western Pleasure in the AQHA Rulebook. This is the exact place that defines what judges look for—how the horse moves, how responsive and controlled the ride is, and the overall demeanor and performance—so everyone is applying the same standards. The other sections cover safety rules, protest procedures, and how shows are run, none of which specify how to judge the class. So the section that tells you the criteria used to judge Western Pleasure is the class-specific criteria section for Western Pleasure.
