October 22 costume class
School shows are open to All students, all ages and abilities. We’ve designed the show to teach riders what is is like to compete on horseback. Classes test skills and speed. To enter the show: read thru the classes, what each one expects of the rider and determine which ones you’d like to try. Pick out the horse you know the best to compete on.(never pick one you haven’t ridden before) Use an entry form which will be in the office and sign up. Try to sign up before the show(this helps me to plan), although you may sign up the day of the show. Spectators are of course welcome – Please consider the weather and bring a chair and food and drink comforts.
RIDERS attire is an optional subject……. Hard shoes or boots and a helmet are mandatory – Safety equipment. Our feeling is not all riders may compete more than one time, therefore the judge is asked to forgo penalty. Hunt seat attire is customarily conservative. Black Helmet, Black Gloves, Black Boots – Under 12 – Paddock boots and Jodhpurs leg straps, Over 12 – Field boots. Jodhpurs for 12 and under. Western attire is jeans or show pants, western belt, cowboy, show shirt and your helmet Cowboy hats are not safety equipment.
Horsemanship and Equitation classes are Posture classes. Riders compete against each other being judged on their form, as well as on their control of their horse at the gate desired by the judge. Reining classes and Dressage classes are posted patterns that are judged on the horse and riders accuracy in performing the pattern with great horsemanship. Gymkhana classes – Keyhole, Barrels and Flag Race are all speed classes. Roping and Goat Tying are Rodeo Classes seen in High School Rodeo jumping classes can either be Judged on Equitation or on Speed.
Rules of the show and Rules of entry:
To be ready for your 9 am – 9:30class, Riders should arrive 15 minutes early to prepare. All other riders can arrive at 30 min before your scheduled time to sign up with Our Secretary. Riders are asked to stay at the bleacher area until called to the barn for your class. Once you complete your class, riders are asked to return to the spectator area. This is for the safety of all in the barn.
