Whether you are a seasoned runner looking for something fun during the off season, have a young horse that you'd like to get out before the season starts, need a little tuning or you are just starting out in the sport, this is the series for you.   

Our Philosophy

This is an Open series and we do not co-sanction with any association because we want this to be a fun series that people can choose to attend without feeling pressured to get a head start in points for the 2010 season.  

We also do not have separate youth and senior classes because this is a Winter series and the weather may sometimes be cold, especially if the sun goes down.   We do offer incentives that are run as part of the Open 4D class instead.  This year we have added even more.

Schedule:

Morning Exhibition:  10:00am – 1:30pm ,  $4 per run.  
Please note:  This Exhibition filled up quickly in 2009.  Arrive early to ensure a spot.  If you are not planning to enter the Open 4D, please enter the Afternoon Exhibition instead to allow more room for those planning to compete.


Open Arena: 
1:30 – 1:50pm, Absolutely no running, turning of barrels or stakes during Open Arena.  Doing so will forfeit your spot in the Open 4D.

PEE WEE class to start immediately prior to Open 4D class.  $3  100% Payback + Goodie bags

Barrel Buddies: 
After the draw is done for the Open 4D, another draw will be made to match up each horse and rider with a “barrel buddy”.   If your barrel buddy wins the 1d, 2d, 3d or 4d in the Open 4D you win a gift bag.    This is designed to allow new riders to meet more seasoned riders and to allow riders to support and encourage each other.

Barrel Buddy prize sponsors needed!

 Come on out and take advantage of this unique event!


Open 4D Payoff will go as follows:

1st place in the 1D will get a bonus (see below) and then the remainder of the entry fees will be evenly divided across the divisions (25% in each division if there are riders in each division)

The bonus will be determined by the number of total entries in the 4D as follows:

0-25 total entries: $25
26-75 total entries: $50
75-99 total entries: $75
100+ total entries: $100

So for example: Say there are 100 riders entered with $500 added. That's $2500 total money for payout, the person who is first in the 1D will get $100 (in addition to the payback) and the remaining money ($2400) will be evenly split between each division for a total of $600 per division. The number of slots paying off in each division will be according to the total number of riders entered in the Open 4D.

Knocked down barrel entry fees will be included in the payoff.

The number of slots paying off in each division will be according to the total number of entries in the class.
