News
2026 Season Updates
A few changes will take effect this coming show season:
• Figure 8 Class Added- The Quads class will be discontinued and replaced with Figure 8.
• Buckaroo Division Adjustment- *If entries warrant*, the Buckaroo division will be split into two groups:
– Group 1: Standard Buckaroo division with no changes.
– Group 2: Riders must trot the pattern but may canter home only; no galloping.
• Full Pint Division Update- Due to lack of consistent participation, the Full Pint division will not return this season.
📋 Just a few friendly reminders as we head into the new season…
• Show themes are optional, but riders not participating in the theme must be in full western attire, including a western hat for riders over 18 (unless you choose to wear a helmet).
• We will be stricter with post entries this season. Please pre-enter when possible and screenshot your submission in case of technical issues.
• Riders are responsible for making sure their membership is active before their first show in order to qualify for end-of-year awards.
We’re looking forward to a season full of fast runs, big smiles and great memories. Dust off the boots, tune up those horses, and get ready! 🛢️🐎💨
