I decided that we need a NEW agility class, called Princess Class. Toenail painting is certainly allowed, as are cute sweaters, spangled collars, and even tiaras.
Here are the preliminary rules of Princess Class:
- All obstacles are optional, because sometimes a princess just doesn't feel like doing some obstacles.
- Just running a victory lap and taking no obstacles is still a qualifying run, if the Princess is acknowledging her spectators during the run.
- Princess class trials are NEVER held in dirty old horse arenas. They are usually held in ballrooms of nice hotels, on clean carpet.
- The table obstacle in Princess class is covered with a pretty pillow, in a color and pattern suitable for the princess, with lace and/or ruffles. This pillow shall be changed for each Princess because she certainly won't use one that has been used by someone else! The handler is allowed to serve appropriate tidbits to the princess while she relaxes on the table. If a massage is preferred by the princess, the handler shall oblige.
- Visiting the judge during a run shall not be discouraged, in fact it shall be awarded extra points for being a good hostess and making the judge feel welcome. Judges shall tell the Princess how cute and smart she is.
- Handlers lucky enough to run a princess are encouraged to dress appropriately, to complement and coordinate with the princess. Handler's outfit must never upstage the princess. If the handler chooses to wear a tiara, it must be smaller and with fewer jewels. Clothing colors must be more muted and subtle, any glitter or sequins must be understated to allow the Princess to shine.
- All Princesses shall get a standing ovations after every run. Standing ovations after every obstacle is recommended.
- There are no losers in Princess Class. All Princesses shall receive a very large rosette, with glitter, sequins, and LED lights if possible.
Kilda, Champion Princess!
