The show season is fast approaching.
Your 2009 Executive Committee and all our Directors have been organizing and making arrangements for the exciting show season ahead.

We have some changes to inform all our members/new members/non members about. 

Classes :

4. We have moved the Barrels Class to right after the Western Classes and the Command class is now after the Pairs Class. These changes are due to the need for Tack Changes.

5. We no longer offer Pony Clases due to the lack of entrants.

6. We have also taken out the Green Horse Pattern class, due to the fact that the rider is the one being judged.

Please note on the entry form, we have put limits on the lower level classes. You may only show in the Walk Only class for 1 show season, the walk trot and walk trot pattern you can only show in for 2 years and then you must move up. This new rule is effective starting this show season.

Rules:

1. We are going to allow non mechanical bitless bridles.

Please Remember - Rule for Youth Helmet Protection

We are once again announcing that we will be checcking helmets.  It is law now, that youth riders in any discipline (western, english, gaming) must wear an approved helmet with harness. Our Youth age is 17 years of age as of January first of the year showing.  If you turn 18 during the show year you must still wear an approved helmet until your next show season.  You are still considered a Youth Rider.
Please make sure you are wearing an approve helmet - which states inside the helmet - ASTM and SEI.

We still require volunteers the day of the show. If you can help out in any way, just come to the entry booth and let us know.
We will still require: Canteen help, Ring Stewart, Ribbon person, Warm up ring supervisor, and Announcer.

  I have updated the Sponsorship Form, The Membership Form and listed the new show dates.

  CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS

         

So Much to do!! The NCR need your help. Show days can be very busy    and there  are   so many little tasks to help with. Serve food   (for an hour), be  a ring steward,   supervise the warm up ring,   announce classes, hand  out ribbons? There are  so many areas  in which you could give a little  bit of your time. Get in touch   with one of the directors if you can  lend a hand.
 

      Things To Remember For The 2009 Show Season

         

Red Ribbons -       Not the first place kind! This red ribbon is to be placed  on the tail of  any horse or pony that has a tendency to kick. In consideration  of others,   and their horses, please do not hesitate to identify your  horse or pony with  a red ribbon. The judges will not mark against you  or your horse. The judges  and others will respect you honesty and caring  for the security of all who  are riding.
The NCR Horse Club Executive reserve the right  to identify  any horse or  pony which they deem to be a threat to the riders or horses  competing in the NCR Show.
Helmets for Riders -  It is  strongly   recommended for all riders to wear an approved  riding helmet  with a harness.   A liability waiver must also be  signed by all riders  and by the parents of  all youth riders.
No Dogs Allowed -  Although  we love  all animals - a horse show is no place for the family pet. In consideration  of horse and rider please do not bring  your dog to the shows.
