RULES FOR TANALOU SHOWS

So I do try and run under RHAA rules but I do class my shows as TRAINING days. Meaning I have a few rules that are for my shows only lol
Example-
💥Snaffle in any of the classes even open you don’t have to ride in a bit or be one handed.
( would suggest tho if your competing in the Real world of Ranch practice one handed for sure in a correct shank bit)
💥You can only ride beginner rider if your not a confident rider per say
💥Any saddle
💥Helmet or cowboy hat
💥Jeans or Jody’s or pants of sorts with long sleeved shirt
💥 Beginner horse young horse or a horse that’s never competed in an event before
💥Rookie riders are those that are above improvers , can canter are wanting to try lead changes , havnt been winning championships in the SHOW WORLD for example champion Rookie at state or national levels ,
💥Junior youth isn’t necessarily a young youth rider it’s for those youth that can’t canter yet are learning , on a lead or just off lead
💥Senior youth are those kids under 15 that are cantering , are starting to ride well, understand patterns to a degree , once they win a championship any where the are not in youth or if they win 🥇 here at my Show like a buckle they step out .
💥Beginner rider and beginner horse no log drag unless I know your able
💥You can skip any obstacle your not wanting to try and you just can’t place in front of others that do all the course.
💥Beginner rider is trotting but you can canter in spots if you wish but won’t be scored higher
💥No lead changes in improver rider or rookie 1 you can try but it’s not a MUST
💥 Rookie 2 attempt lead changes if you miss you do get a penalty
💥Reining patterns are sometimes Actually A reining pattern
💥novice and open run with all manuvours being done therefore penalties will be as per proper Ranch Rules.
💥 judging is done to the best of the Judges ability meaning we will ensure we are fair and transparent in our scoring.
💥 As we have all types of horses attending Judges will choose the best horse in the group that travels in a frame that is Of Ranch correctness ( not below the vertical & not to above the vertical, well gaited , forward moving with a nice frame looking more of a natural Ranch style )
💥Although the RANCH HORSE should be a very flat going head set straight out from the wethers I the judges will endeavor to pick the horse closed to the correct style with out a death grip on reins. MEANING - if there’s a higher headed horse but rider isn’t on his face then there’s a rider on a horse’s face but in correct frame that horse will not place over the higher headed loser reined rider as an example for my Shows
💥Scoring is as per normal Ranch Rules in each class.
💥 All trotting , jogging is seated unless EXTENDED JOG is asked you may rise or stand for this manuvour.
