The ranch horse competition consist of a simulation on what would happen on a daily basis on any outfit!
Granted, some things are simulated and fixed to accommodate the competition but its still not a very easy task!
ALL HORSES WILL HAVE TO HAVE BOUGHT A SLOT, CONSIGNED TO THE SALE, AND WILL GO THRU THE RING!
SLOTS: They are transferable by slot owner to another individual until February 14th of the designated sale year. ALL horses have to be designated February 14 of the sale year. After a horse is designated, the slot goes with the horse if the said horse is sold before catalog deadline of March 14th. If NO horse is designated by February 14th, the slot will be null and void!

🧐Obstacles & Rules🧐
‼️‼️‼️Rules‼️‼️‼️
📍Competition will be judged on times and faults.
📍Faults are determined by NOT completing an obstacle. Ex.: Log jump. If you go around and not jump, that’s considered 1 fault. If you break gait at any time, it’s 1 fault for each time.
📍Steer HAS to be roped and stopped to stop the time. IF steer is missed, it is 3 faults.
📍Fastest, clean time wins! IF there are no clean runs (no faults), fastest time with the least amount of t of faults wins.
📍There will be judges at every obstacle.
‼️‼️‼️Obstacles‼️‼️‼️
📍Time starts with a countdown and taking the halter off to bridle.
📍After bridling, load and unload into trailer with or without exhibitor. Horse IS REQUIRED TO BACK OUT!
📍After mounting, head up the hill to marker. Blow air horn and head back down the hill.
📍At this time you will cross two ditches. One with water.
📍At marker in open pasture, you will perform 3 circles each way with spins in the middle. (Exhibitors choice which direction you go first!)
📍1st circle: walk
📍2nd circle: lope
📍3rd circle: trot
📍4 spins each way
📍Then perform 2nd set of circles, this time trot, walk, lope.
📍From there you will head to log pull. Start at first marker and drag log to and around second marker. You will then BACK drag log halfway then resume to original start marker and hang rope for next exhibitor.
📍Log jump. Self explanatory! Lol!
📍You will then head to the pen of steers to pen one steer in 12x12 holding pen.
📍After penned, you will let him out and steer stop him. When rope is tight, time stops.
