Rules

  • No jack of all trades horses. A reining park horse doesn't exist in real life and they don't here either
  • Horses must be ridden in proper equipment at all times. Not doing so will results in disqualification
  • Any Tennessee Walking Horses being exhibited are required to undergo USDA inspection no earlier than 3 classes before the one that they are competing in. Winning TWH's will be inspected again following the class.
  • Check your division requirements and be sure your horses can realistically cross into the classes that you have them in. Contact the owners for more information if you are unsure
  • Owners must be registered to exhibit and compete for points
  • If entries are not received in the proper format, they will be returned to you for corrections. If they are not corrected, you will not be entered.
  • A check must be included with entries or they will be returned
  • Unless specified, all classes are open to trotting and non-trotting horses
  • Akhal-Tekes, while not a breed typically permitted in the RSHA, are permitted to enter into endurance events
