News
IMPORTANT changes to this years Prize Book....
1. The Secretary fee is being raised to $15.
2. We will be removing the “Green” division.
3. Although it is already a club General Rule, it will specifically be added to the prize book in both the Beginner & Novice sections that trainers are NOT ELIGABLE to ride in either of these divisions.
4. Riders cannot have their feet strapped into the stirrups due to safety reasons however rubber bands are ok.
5. It has been an unofficial rule but we will now be adding to the prize book that riders are NOT allowed to run into the shoot from the road. If so the rider will be disqualified.
➡️🌟6. We will be removing the speed restriction for beginners and replacing it with: Open to riders who have never ridden in a novice or advance/open division at any other discipline. For your discretion, if a rider is showing at jackpots and placing in the OPEN 3D or higher or showing in another discipline where they are cantering in a group then they DO NOT qualify for this division.
