We are offering Jackpot gymkhana classes for the summer buckle series!
For any horse/rider combination, classes are $15 each with a $10 office fee per show for non-members. These fees must be paid in cash at the show. The class fees go directly toward daily cash prizes and year-end awards. Prize amounts are dependent on the number of entries that day.
We will be paying monetary prizes for the following:
- Top 3 places for each of the 5 classes (cash)
- Daily highpoint champion for all classes (cash/check) *
- Year-end highpoint champion and reserve (check) *
*High point and year-end award is now by rider only NOT by horse/rider combination.
Other notes:
High-point tie breaker is the fastest barrel time. Times from age group classes may be rolled over into jackpot for the same horse/rider combination.
Refer to our operations manual for Gymkhana requirements and patterns.
- Exhibitors must ride in a least 4 of the 5 daily events if they are competing for High Point.
- Competitors interested in End of Year awards must comply with additional requirements including volunteer hours and meetings. Must compete in at least three of the five scheduled shows.
