Membership Fee”.
This is $15 if a Youth (Less than 18 years) or $40 if an adult
We welcome everyone and would encourage riders who are not
experienced at Stock Horse events to have a go. We have Branch Coaches
and experienced Stock Horse riders who are very willing to help and
encourage.
The Challenge
There is a Young Horse Challenge, an Encouragement Challenge, a Youth
Challenge (8 to under 18 years) and an Open Challenge. These consist of a
Dressage, Hack, Working Stock Horse, Time Trial, and Cattle
(Campdraft) section.
Points are awarded out of 100 for the Dressage, Hack, WSH, and Cattle
Section. The four scores are added and then the time of the Time Trial
taken (in seconds) is deducted off the total. The winner has the highest
points.
So have a go at all sections!
Each rider can only enter one horse in the Challenges, with the exception
of the Young Horse Challenge. In this event a rider can enter and then
enter an older horse in the Open Challenge. The rider may not enter the
Encouragement or Youth, only the Young Horse and Open.
Please refer to order of Events.
Ages- Ages of youth is age on the day. Youth Judging 8-under 21 years;
Youth Challenge 8-under 18 years. Open 18 and over.
Youth Judging (Ages 8 to under 21 years)
An important part of the day for those less than 21 years is Youth
Judging. This is an event where the youth judge four led horses and then
this is compared to an officiating judge’s results. Youth Judging is
absolutely huge in the ASHS in the eastern states and has been
extremely competitive in WA.
Karen Mori will be coming from Perth to give an “information and
teaching” session for the youth (and the adults). Youths will have an
opportunity to learn how to actually do it and what it entails. Then later in
the day we will actually have a Youth Judging Competition. We would just
encourage you to have a go! The more you do it, the better you will get.
Entry is free.
Winners of Youth Judging events like this across WA will be invited to
the ASH WA Championships in March 2016. The winner of that has the
opportunity to be invited, at the discretion of the WA ASHS
Management Council to compete at the ASHS Youth Judging National
Final at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, Easter the following year. This
trip is subsidised by the ASHS of WA.
Campdraft(Cattle Section)
The Cattle section is like a Campdraft except that some pegs are
removed. Also the competitor will be given the opportunity to run outside
in the arena even if “cracked off” in the camp. In this situation the cow
will be separated from the others in the camp for the competitor and the
competitor will then take the cow outside in an attempt to get a score
outside. We will explain this more on the day.
The Programme-The Committee reserves the right to alter the
programme without notice.
