Answer 2

In the AQHA, go for Novice Amateur Limited.  You may not always find all of these labels at a show, but you should qualify.  If the show you look at doesn't have all of these labels, then you can still show novice am or even just amateur.

Bottom line, you don't have to choose novice or am or limited... you can have it all!!  These smaller divisions are meant to make the breed shows more inviting for you so take advantage!!

Answer 3

Amateur gets you a better membership.
