We will be running barrels and washington poles for the summer buckle series at each of the events.
We will be having two divisions for the summer buckle series. The open division is for riders competing at speed in other events like Jr Rodeo, jackpots etc. The novice division is for riders not quite competing at speed yet. The barrel pattern will have a breakout time of 22 seconds and poles will have a breakout time of 33 seconds.
Horse and Rider combos will earn points for their placings for each pattern at each event. The number of points earned will be as follows:
1st place = 8 points
2nd place = 7 points
3rd place = 6 points
4th place = 5 points
5th place = 4 points
6th place = 3 points
7th place = 2 points
8th place = 1 point
The horse and rider combo that collects the most points in each division over the 3 events will win the buckle!
Please note that horse substitutions will not be allowed as it is the horse and rider combo earning points for this series, however each rider may enter more than one horse.
