Back when I used to really hit the local open shows (2000-2005), I'd say we did on average 2 shows a month from May through September. We almost always did 4 classes each day- 2 huntseat and 2 western (pleasure and eq), and then we'd do bareback if they had it. There was generally at least 2 classes between each. A couple of times my friend would take my horse into the walk/trot classes as well.
