2024 Clear Round Rules

Please remember that our organization is volunteer run.  We understand show days can feel stressful but please remember to be kind to our volunteers. We want your day to be as enjoyable as possible. If you are experiencing difficulties, please come and talk to an adult Board Member a the entry booth. These rules are put in place to keep all of our riders and horses as safe as possible. 

1. No more than 10 riders will be allowed in the ring at one time. The ring/show steward will not allow additional riders to enter once the schooling time has started.
2. Each group will have about 10 minutes in the ring. 5 minutes one direction and then the ring steward will call for everyone to reverse.
3. The first and last 10 minute schooling period of the morning session will be open to riders who only wish to flat. There will be no jumping allowed during these two sessions of the morning clear round. 
4. Please only jump one line at a time and do not jump an entire course.The outside lines will both be open to call out and jump both directions of the schooling session. The diagonal lines will only be open to call out and jump while the ring is going the appropriate direction. Please be sure to take extra precautions while jumping diagonal lines.
5. Schooling will enter at the large gait and exit out of the small gate.
6. If you wish to be excused before the schooling period is over please go to the small gate and wait for a safe time to be let out of the ring.
7. Priority will be given to horses and riders that have not yet been in to school.
8. No lunging permitted in the main ring at any time.
9. Please halt in the ring if a rider or horse has fallen.
10. Remember that there are two schooling sessions available. The first session will be all x-rails and the second session will have jumps set at 2’.
