Rules
Classes are open to any horse/rider combination. No horse/pony may do more than 5 jumping classes, 8 classes total.
All entries will be required to submit proof of current negative Coggins and a signed release form to compete.
Fees: $20 per class
Points (for Champion & Reserve)
1st – 10 points
2nd – 6 points
3rd – 4 points
4th – 2 points
5th – 1 point
6th – ½ point
There are no Champions or Reserve Champions in the Equitation divisions. Hunter Champion and Reserve Champion will be determined by the horse/pony with the most points over fences. In addition only the top four will receive full points for the under saddle class. If there is a tie then it goes to the most points over fences (same for Reserve Champion). This applies to all divisions except Walk-Trot, Beginner Walk-Trot-Canter, and Advanced Walk-Trot-Canter where ties will be pinned.
No stallions are allowed on the show grounds at any time.
All dogs must be kept on a leash at all times – no exceptions! Any violation will result in a $30 per occurrence fine with the proceeds benefitting Heroes on Horseback.
Attire
Boots and/or shoes worn while riding anywhere on the competition grounds must have a distinguishable heel. Riders must display the correct number clearly visible on their back while competing. Management or judge may eliminate an exhibitor that is inappropriately attired.
Personal Conduct of Exhibitors, Coaches, and Show Personnel
It is expected that exhibitors, spectators, and coaches will behave in a manner that reflects the dignity of the sport. Ill-mannered conduct will not be tolerated; the show management may expel from the grounds any person whose behavior is deemed dishonest, unethical, unsportsmanlike, or detrimental to the health, safety, or well-being of any horse, person, or the Association during the progress of the show.
Cruelty
Equestrian sport is made possible by the animals, who serve the rider. This is a sport of grace and elegance, where rider and animal work as a team. There is neither grace nor elegance in an abusive spectacle. It is the responsibility, therefore, of all parties concerned to be aware of the conduct of participants and the condition of the horses; and, if a violation is observed, a report must be made immediately to the stewards.
