Riders may purchase and run unlimited -- but not consecutive when other riders are waiting -- barrel exhibitions/practice runs. These must be ran during registration and will close at the gymkhana's designated start time. The age of the rider as of January 1st will determine the age group the rider will ride in for that year. Entries for the first pattern will close at the designated start time. Entries for each pattern thereafter will close when the last rider completes the preceding pattern. There must be at least TWO (2) riders entered in a division, or it will be cancelled or combined with another division for the day. A maximum of TWO (2) riders may use the same horse for age classes. (No limit in Leadline and Novice) NO REFUNDS once the gymkhana has started. All riders must wear boots with a heel of ½" or greater, long pants, and use a western type saddle. All riders are highly recommended to wear helmets for safety reasons. ABSOLUTELY NO RACING or RIDING DOUBLE in the warm up arena or parking lot. NO HORSES ALLOWED in the snack shack/registration area. Time will not be given for tack changes, so please come prepared, particularly if you are riding more than one horse per show. The committee will try to space riders with multiple horses as much as possible. Separate entry forms must be filled out for each horse ridden. The "office fee" is per rider, not per horse. One rider may NOT win both High Point and Reserve High Point at the same show. A rider may enter more than one horse for the day's ribbons, but will only accumulate the day's points for high point/reserve as well as year end points on ONE horse per show. This horse must be designated at the time of entry. NOVICE DIVISION: For BEGINNER RIDERS ONLY; open to any age rider. Do not enter these classes if you are not a beginner rider. Riding a novice horse does NOT qualify you for this division. Riders in the NOVICE DIVISION may NOT ride faster than a SLOW LOPE. This will be STRICTLY enforced. The coach in the NOVICE division IS allowed in the arena, but must NOT cross the timer line. Year-End Champions in the NOVICE DIVISION will NOT be eligible for the same division the following year. LEADLINE DIVISION: The HORSE must cross the start AND finish line FIRST. The leader must be 13 years of age or older, and must be in control of the horse at all times. He/She must hold the lead no longer than TWO (2) feet from the halter until completely through the exit gate. If a rider wishes to move into a different division and intends to carry points over, the move MUST be made by the START of the 2nd gymkhana of the year. After that time, the rider will forfeit his/her points and start with a zero (0) in the new division. NO running horses through the entry/exit gate. Horses will be allowed help when entering the arena as long as it is done in a safe manner. A BROKEN PATTERN constitutes a NO TIME. There is a 5 second penalty for knocking over a barrel, pole, flag, or jump. A rider may request that a jump be laid on the ground, adding a 5 second penalty to their time. If a timer failure occurs, the rider has the option of up to TWO (2) re-rides. If during the first re-ride an obstacle is knocked over, the rider may take a second re-ride. If the second re-ride is taken, it voids the first re-ride and the rider must take the time given during the second re-ride. When the first re-ride is successful (no obstacles were knocked over) the rider is required to take that time and a second re-ride is not allowed. No re-rides for broken equipment or your horse falling. TIES: In the case of ties for high point and/or reserve high point, all parties will receive their appropriate trophy. A MINIMUM of TWO (2) hours of volunteer time at club gymkhanas is required for Year-End Awards. Rider must also have competed in TWO (2) gymkhanas during the current year for points to count. Points 1 thru 6 will apply to year-end event awards for MEMBERS only. At the judge's or committee member's discretion, a rider may be disqualified for horse abuse, un-sportsmanlike conduct, lack of control, or other unsafe situations. Gymkhana Chairperson, judge, or designated person's decision is FINAL. Any act of discourtesy or disobedience toward any Gymkhana Official/Board or Committee Member, in and out of the arena, will result in disqualification for the duration of the Gymkhana. It could also result in removal from all BRR events and activities for the remainder of the year. Any grievance must be submitted in writing before the end of the Gymkhana and may NOT be discussed at the announcers stand.
