It's A Cinch Horsemanship, LLC

Competing at shows is a privilege, with a lot of time and effort invested, so please familiarize yourselves with the rules and requirements; they have been established to make showing a fun, safe, and rewarding experience for everyone.

 

1. Rider’s eligibility to compete is determined by the Instructor. Students must ride at least 2x per week to be eligible for off-site competitions or events. Considerations for show team are skill controlling the horse, safety, and riding ability. Make-up lessons for any missed or displaced classes are MANDATORY for show team members.

​

2. Students/members agree to assist with events. Including, but not limited to: Prepping and cleaning equipment, grooming and bathing the horses for shows, packing equipment in the trailer, and clean up after event concludes. Plan on being at the barn AT LEAST 3-4 hours the day before a show to prep your horse and equipment. (Parents are welcome to drop students off to be picked up later with trainer’s permission.) Show Team members not competing at a show will be expected to attend and volunteer/help their teammates.

 

4. Students agree to display good sportsmanship at all times. Students are EXPECTED to be respectful and courteous to all horses, parents, coaches, teammates and show staff at any and all competitions. This means; no yelling, crying, or taking out your frustrations on your horse. Any student acting disrespectful or abusive to horses/people at shows will be withdrawn from the remainder of the competition and all show fees will be forfeit. (Horse shows can be stressful situations and I guarantee your horse will not perform perfectly at every one of them. If you’re having a bad show, please consider it a learning opportunity and DO NOT take it out on your horse. We have a ZERO tolerance policy for being unkind to the horses at ANY time.)

 

5. Student is responsible for event fees. Competition fees will vary depending on the show. There is usually a $10-15 office fee and a class fee of $10-$15 per class entered for local shows. Riders are responsible for signing up for their classes and checking in at shows. Stalls run from $25-$40 per night.

 

6. All show fees must be paid in full prior to the day of the show. Invoices for show fees will be sent via PayPal invoice.
