Superior Equine Rules

Rules you need to know for Barrel Races Events

  • In the event the timer malfunctions during your run, the announcer will NOT notify mid-run and if you hit a barrel or go off pattern then you carry the hit barrel penalty into your re-run, thus no re-runs will be rewarded. If you run clean and the timer misses you, then in your re-run you get a free roll, meaning any knocked over barrels will not be penalized.
  • Absolutely no tabs or reservations without payment.
  • Tie outs are according to the arenas rules, as well as outside shavings.
  • Must ride with saddle.
  • All riders must check-in with the show office before running.
