RULES

1. All Contestants must be able to ride their horse without outside help or coaching.
2. No outside coaching or assistance at any time, only the judge can talk to the contestant while competing. Cheering is permitted!
3. Dress code is required. Western hat or helmet, jeans and riding shoes. Failure to appear in dress code is grounds for DQ. (April Event will encourage bright high-vis color attire for you and your horse!).
4. You will have 60 seconds, or until you run out of points, before you must go on to the next obstacle. This is not a training event; expos can be purchased, and you can use them after the Open is completed.
5. A rider can enter as many horses as they wish, entry fees must be paid prior to showing each horse.
6. Some obstacles need to be “Reset” between riders. We will do our best to make sure each obstacle is as close to the same as possible for each rider. If you see something off on the course, please notify us prior to starting your turn.
7. Order of Go must be followed. Failure to stay on course will lose you points or be a DQ. Asking to skip an obstacle will only result in a 0 score for that specific obstacle.

*NEW* 8. If you make 3 consecutive 0 score obstacles the judge will DQ the horse/rider combo and a complimentary expo will be given to that combo after all other contestants have competed the course. This is only for the horse/rider combo receiving the DQ, if you have multiple horses entered, your additional entries will not be DQ unless 3 consecutive 0 score obstacles have occurred.
9. Displaying non-horsemanship is grounds for DQ. No excessive whipping, spurring, yanking, yelling or hitting at any time. The judge has the right to disqualify any rider based on conduct, abuse or any action deemed misconduct during the challenge.
10. A walk-through on foot will be permitted prior to the start of the event. No horses are allowed on the course prior to starting. Anyone found breaking this will automatically be DQ.
11. Any disputes need to be brought to the attention of S&S and the judge and we will make a final decision.
12. Horses must be ridden by one person only, no sharing.
13. All decisions of the Judge/SSHC are final.
14. Have Fun! We are so excited to put on this event!
