Superhorse Competition Guidelines

Event Entries
There will be a cut-off entry deadline 1 week prior to every event unless that event has a different policy. Last to enter is the first up in each Event. If you can't meet this time frame, please contact Entries@superhorsechampionships.com.

There is a $50 late fee and it is to the boards discretion whether or not to accept your entry.  Registering early helps plan for the Competition.  Each event will have a flyer describing event location, schedule, site specific rules and directions. 

Superhorse Competitions

Pro Division
Entry fees will vary, depending on events entered.  There will be added monies in all Pro events unless otherwise specified.  Each of the 4 events will have $100 added along with a portion of the entry fee, for payback.  The Overall High Point Horse will have $600 added. Pay outs will be in each round (total of 2 rounds) of each event, according to fast time. No Average paid out. Points will also be awarded to fast times, up to 10 places.  Overall High point horse will be on the cumulative points that horse and rider have received in all events combined.  You must be in at least 2 events to qualify for Overall High Point Horse.

Amateur and Senior Divisions
Entry fees will vary, depending on events entered.  There is no added money to these divisions unless specified otherwise.  Money will be awarded in each round (total of 2 rounds) of each event, according to fast time.  No Average paid out.  Points will be also awarded to fast times, up to 10 places.  Overall High Point Horse will be on the cumulative points that horse and rider have received in all events combined.  Trophies will be awarded. You must be in at least 2 events to qualify for Overall High Point Horse.  Amateur Division will be gender split.  Senior Division will not be gender split.  If there are less than 3 entries in the Senior Division, you will go into the appropriate gender, Amateur Division. 

Novice Division

Entry fee will vary, depending on events entered.  There is no added money to this division.  Its purpose is for someone who is truly new to the sport and would like to try it for the first time.  After 2 wins you must move up to the Amateur Division.

Paybacks will be at the discretion of the board and will be determined by added money and the amount of entries.

 Points are gender specific and will stay with the horse. Ladies will not compete against the men with the exception of the Senior Division. 

In the case that we will have more than one arena available we will run each event simultaneously depending on number of contestants.

There will be 2 go-arounds minimum for each event.  Depending on locations and time constraints we may have a short go. (2 rounds and a final)

Contestants can only enter 1 time in each of the events.  You can ride different horses in different events if you like.  I.E.  Brownie is ridden in the Mounted Shooting Event and Yeller is used in the other 3 events.  A horse may be used twice but not in the same division.  I.E.  If a Pro Mens horse is shared, it cannot be shared with another Pro Mens or Pro Ladies. 

Superhorse Qualifier

In conjunction with other events, if there are time constraints there is now a Superhorse Qualifier. Events will consist of 1 round each.  All other rules apply.

We will be keeping track of points and monies won for each category to determine the year end superhorse champion.  We will also have year - end awards for each category for the high point Barrel Racing Horse, Mounted Shooting Horse, Rope N Shoot Horse and Breakaway Roping Horse.  Points will be available on-line for tracking.

Due to the possibility of ownership changing, all points and monies are retained by the horse.  In the case of the rider changing horse in the year, points and monies start over.

You must be entered at the finals to receive awards and money.
