News for our Youth Riders:
We are making it easier for Youth
Riders to participate in our shows.
We have eliminated the cattle/office
charge for both the Youth Bridle and
Youth Limited classes, and also do
not require a CRCA membership.
The NRCHA Youth Association is very
active and would like all of our
youth riders to get involved. The
Youth President is Jocee Doramus (ridinslidin@gmail.com)

High
Five Cow Work Championship Saddle:
The successful and popular contest
from 2009 is back! The High Five
awards are based on a single
horse/rider combo's cow work score
in a specific class. The High
Five Champion will receive a saddle
while Reserve Champion will receive
a pair of custom made chaps. There
will be prizes awarded from 3rd to
5th as well. Must show 5 times in
affiliate shows. Box only
classes are included as it is "cow
work" not just fence work.
How is it calculated? Take the
five highest cow work scores from a
horse/rider in a specific class and
average them. Highest average
wins. For shows with more than
one judge, the average score of the
judges will be used (ie, a 73, 72
1/2 from two judges would result in
an average of 72.75) Finally
an example of the High Five
calculation -- John Smith, riding
Hes a Great Horse, competes in the
Ltd Open Bridle in 9 of the 10
shows. His scores are 73, 74,
70, 66, 68, 71, 72.25, 71.75, 71.
Taking the highest five scores and
dividing by 5 results in a High Five
score of 72.4. First tie breaker -
high individual score. Second
tie breaker - 2nd high individual
score. Third tie breaker -
highest score at the Fall Futurity,
Horse Show #1. Fourth tie breaker -
most shows entered.
Please contact Jerry Peters at (303) 243-1703 with any questions about
the High Five contest.
