Special Message from

Cathy Brogan Regional Supervisor

We are offering everyone an opportunity to take part in a team competition, pony club style, with a separate division just for adults.  And the best part is anyone can participate in this Adult Division. We’re asking you to pass this information on to other interested adults.  Membership in pony club's Horsemasters is not required. The only requirement is that you want to try this team competition and have fun.

So Hurry and don’t wait!!

This will be part of our regular rally and the adult division will happen on Sunday, May 20th.  The rally is being held at the USET in Gladstone, at the Pine Meadow Area off Fowler Rd.

Teams can be made up of rider who might wish to ride various levels. For example, rider #1 might want to ride Intro A & B (walk trot tests), Rider #2 might want to do Intro B and Tr Lev #1 (a walk-trot test, and the simplest w-t-c test), Rider #3 might want to do 1st #2 and 1st#3, and rider #4 might want to do Tr #2 and Tr #4.  The combinations are what will work for the members of a team.  Of course, you would be choosing 2 tests with within one level, or adjacent levels.

The rally will include Horse Management Judging and we would ask the adult teams to do all that our kids do for Horse management - that is labeling, required equipment, tack room set up (under a tent, between 2 trailers when parked outside for a rally), etc.

A very simple written test will also be part of the scoring.

Our D3 and up are going to have a dressage equitation class added to their rally this year, and we can also include this for the adults if the competitors say OK.
