The first 3 shows are "COME AS YOU ARE". We all have shaggy horses at this time of year. Use mixed English or Western equipment, hackamores, running or standing martingales, but no draw reins though. Ride two handed, snaffle or shank bits, basically how you ride when you're training or trail riding.
PROPER RIDING HELMETS AND FOOT WEAR ARE A MUST. HELMETS ARE ENCOURAGED FOR EVERYONE & ARE MANDATORY FOR RIDERS 18 AND UNDER. Shows from July onward will require proper equipment and attire for English or Western.
Participation points for the series are awarded to everyone regardless of placing. Your placings are bonus points!
