2015 Windy Wyoming Derby Cross
Sunday July 26 at the WW Cross Country Course at the Wyoming Territorial Prison,
Laramie, WY
What is a Derby Cross? It is a combination of stadium and show jumps mixed
together on part of our cross country field. Regular eventing jump penalties will apply,
and each division will have an optimum time, just as in regular eventing (watches are
permitted, willful delay will be penalized). Rounds are judged first on penalties, then on
optimum time, with the winner having the fewest penalties and coming closest to the
optimum time without going over. Competitors may ride more than one round in a
division (best round will count in the standings) and/or may enter more than one division.
We will have fun prizes for the winners in each division and ribbons through 6th place.
Cost:
WW members: $25 first round, $15 additional rounds for all divisions.
Non WW members: $35 first round, $25 additional rounds for all divisions.
