PLEASE NOTE!!!

Just an update on some changes for the 2010 show season.  The program books are finished so everyone can get their copy. Hope to see you all at the show!

        Starting at the June 19th game show the walk trot contestants will be asked to keep their horses at a walk or trot. If the horse/pony breaks into a canter they will be disqualified. It’s all about the safety of our young riders and proper control. In the past they were allowed up to three canter strides before being disqualified. This gives a horse/pony a chance to get out of control. There is a special Junior Novice Division in the game shows for the riders ready to start to canter a little.

·         The Flag Race will be run differently than in the past, there will be two barrels placed about 20’ apart. Each will have a bucket on top filled with sand. The rider will enter and pull the flag out of bucket #1 and  race to the other barrel and place the flag into bucket #2. DQ if either barrel is knocked over, the flag is dropped or does not stand up on it’s own in the sand [no leaners] or if the horse fails to go around both barrels.
