The CTCPA is not offering the Western Horse Review this year, please disregard the offer on the membership form.

To Clarify the 4 ride rule in the 5 class, in order to have a ride with only one changed-out rider, you must be entered 3 times on teams with the standard 2 rider change-out.   To Clarify the 4 ride rule in the 7 class, you are allowed one ride on a team drawn from entered riders for the draw teams, you are not required to have any other entries in the 7 class to be eligible to ride on a draw team, but you must indicate to Kim by 8PM on the Tuesday prior to the show that you will let your name stand for the draw.  You may or may not be drawn to ride if the number of riders entered is not divisible by 3.

Some changes have been made for the 2010 season:  As in 2009, a rider is allowed 4 entries in the 5 class but in 2010 the 4th team entered will only require changing out one rider from any of the other 3 teams entered.  A rider will also be allowed 4 entries in the 7 class, but one of those entries will be a draw team.  You must indicate to Kim via fax or email that you want to let your name stand for a draw team, same deadline as your other team entries. 

 

Points accumulated at the co-sanctioned shows in February will be included in the tally towards year-end awards.  Best 7 out of the 10 shows will count, and you will have to attend 50% of the sanctioned shows (10 this year) to qualify for Regional Finals.
