OPEN 4D AND GENERAL RULES

Vet and medical releases must be received by mail or fax before 9 am on the day the draw is scheduled to be posted. (Processing fee are non-refundable). No exceptions!!! After this, vet outs will be accepted, by hand delivery, at the show office at least one hour before the first horse runs on Friday. All vet out refunds will be processed approximately within 10 days after the show. There are no exceptions to the rule, so please don’t ask.

No switching of draw positions. No dress code will be enforced.

All reruns will be the decision of the Arena Director. Rerun will be on a fresh drag. Arena Director’s decisions are FINAL. A horse falling during the run will not receive a rerun.

Failure to answer 3 gate calls in a 60 second time period will result in an Official scratch, no excuses. There is just no way to handle this many entries and runs if you’re not on time and ready when it’s your turn.

A horse/rider combination may enter the race only once. However, more than one person will be allowed to ride the same horse, just not more than once. You may enter as many horses as you wish. (This is a variation of the family rule). We believe it to be fairer and a more just way of leveling the playing field.

Contestants will receive a no time for knocking over a barrel or breaking the pattern and they may or may not receive a time from the announcer. Once a barrel has been knocked over or the pattern broken that will end the competition for that run. The contestant may finish the pattern, but the horse is not to be trained, schooled or exhibitioned for the remainder of the pattern.

A roll of the dice or flip of the coin between contestants tied will handle tie for awards. (High number wins.) Should all contestants involved in the tie not be present, the ones present will participate and a staff member will roll for the one(s) not present.

Late fee will apply if entry is not postmarked by entry deadline. Postage machine dates DO NOT qualify as postmarks. Late entries will be taken at the show and must be received before the last 25 horses run. Late entries will run after all pre-entries. Late fees do not apply to Incentive Races; however, they must be entered prior to your run.

placings will be divided proportionally amongst that division.

Negative coggins required. Health papers if applicable.

Once a contestant has entered the competition arena they must maintain a forward motion. Under no circumstances will a contestant be allowed to circle their horse once they have entered the arena. Such circling will result in a disqualification and a no time.
