NRHA Approved Classes: All NRHA classes, including aged events, Affiliate Regional Championship and ancillary classes, will be awarded trophies based on NRHA guidelines - Lawsons, Morrisons, Morgans and Plaques. Pay-outs on all aged events and those ancillary classes with $2,000 or more added money will be calculated using NRHA payback schedule B.

Three slates of GWRHA Ladies & Gents schooling classes will be held (on Sunday, Tuesday and again on Thursday) and three slates of GWRHA Mares and Not-Mares (Stallions/Geldings) schooling classes will be held (on Monday, Wednesday and again on Friday). These GWRHA schooling classes can be shown in any legal bridle using either one or two hands. These classes will have Jackpot payouts and the combined high point circuit class winners (Slate #1 plus Slate #2 plus Slate #3 scores) in each of these four classes (Ladies/Gents/Mares/Not-Mares) will each be awarded class prizes to 5th place. These GWRHA schooling classes will be run in the outdoor arena. The $7 per run video fee charge does not apply to classes run in the outdoor arena. Late entries (post entries after the draw) for all GWRHA schooling classes will go last in the draw rather than first. Schooling : Contestants are expected to run the designated NRHA pattern number assigned to each class however deviations from the designated pattern will be allowed in the above mentioned GWRHA schooling classes. As a courtesy to the judges, contestants intending to school their horses in the GWRHA schooling classes should make their intention to school obvious to the judge at the beginning of their run. Schooling runs shall not exceed four minutes of arena time. Futurity/Derby/Maturity Entries & Draws: Futurity horses may be shown either one handed or two handed in any legal bridle and may switch hands during the pattern. Derby and Maturity horses are to be shown one handed. All Futurity/Derby/Maturity entries must enter up one level (e.g. Level 1 entries must also enter the Level 2 class, Level 2 entries must also enter the Level 3 class, Level 3 must also enter the Level 4 class). Only one judges fee will apply. A Draw Party will be held at 9:00AM on Thursday for the Non Pro Futurity; the Open Derby draw party will be Thursday evening; the Non Pro Derby and Open Futurity draw parties will be Friday evening. The Open and Non Pro Maturity classes will be run concurrent with their respective Open and Non Pro ancillary/arc classes and will be drawn by the show secretary the night before. Additional Futurity/Derby/Maturity entries will continue to be accepted until the start of the of the classes however, once drawn, late additions will be the first to show.

4 Additional Draw and Class Scheduling Information: Show entries should be submitted to the office by 5:00PM on the evening before each show day (except for Futurity/Derby classes). The office will close from approximately 5:00PM to 6:00PM each day to prepare the draws for the following day. We anticipate the classes and schedule will be posted at approximately 6:00PM on the evening before each show day (except for Futurity/Derby classes). Class entries will continue to be accepted until the start of the classes however, once drawn, late additions will be the first to show. Note that NRHA regulations prohibit refunding of entry fees once drawn. The draw schedule for the main arena will take precedence over the draw schedule in the outdoor arena. Management, in its sole discretion, may alter the draw order in the outdoor arena to accommodate timing conflicts arising where a horse and/or rider is scheduled to show in both arenas. Drag periods are tentatively scheduled and may be altered from time-to-time after posting as deemed appropriate. Management reserves the right to alter the show, the arena and schedules at any time as circumstances may dictate or as may be deemed appropriate. Leadline Class: A special GWRHA Pee Wee Reiner /Leadline class for children aged 7 and under will be held on Friday following the youth classes. Contestants are requested to enter by 5:00PM on Thursday and to submit a short story line in writing (click here for entry form). Riders must be accompanied in the class by an adult who will lead the horse and rider at a walk. No reining maneuvers will be performed. Open Arena Riding Schedule: Open riding in the indoor arena will be available from approximately 12:00PM to approximately 10:00PM on Friday, October 5th. The arena will reopen from 5:00AM to 6:00AM on Saturday, October 6th and periodically during paid warmups (6:00AM to approximately 7:00PM). Then, following completion of paid warmups (approximately 7:00PM) on Saturday, October 6th, we expect the arena will then remain open every evening following each day s classes throughout the duration of the show however the arena will close from 2:00AM to 4:00AM each day to prepare the ground for the following day s classes. The outdoor coverall arena will be open all day Saturday, October 6th and Saturday, October 13th and after each day s classes in that arena; once the main arena is available for open riding each day, the coverall arena ground will be prepared for the next day and closed for the remainder of the night. The Stampede outdoor arena will be open every day, as well as the dressage arenas on the eastern side of the horse park. Trophies & Prizes: In addition to NRHA classes being awarded trophies based on NRHA guidelines, there will be prizes awarded for 1st through 5th place in all NRHA ancillary and all GWRHA classes (see the Class Schedule).
