Congratulations, You Have Qualified! 2013 ... - The CHSA Finals

CHSA HUNTER DERBY CLASSES:
The 2013 CHSA Finals will include a Hunter Derby to be held on Sunday, August 25, 2013.
Only riders and horses already entered in the 2013 CHSA Finals may enter into the 2013 CHSA Hunter Derby.
The Derby will consist of 3 classes with fence heights of: 18”, 2’ and 2’6”. Only 1 entry per horse per height
will be allowed. Entry fee for each horse and rider combination will be $100 per class. Only 20 entries per
class based on time receipt of entry. (ie First Come First Serve) We will keep a wait list. Non-­‐Professional
riders will be pinned as a separate class from Professional riders. Braiding and formal attire strongly
recommended.
The 10 highest-­‐scoring horse-­‐and-­‐rider combinations after the first round of each class are eligible to return
for the second round. The Non-­‐Professional and Professional rider/horse combination will be pinned
as separate classes based on the total two-­‐round score. For example with 10 riders returning of which 6 are
Non-­‐Professionals they would be pinned 1-­‐6 and the 4 Professional Riders will be pinned 1-­‐4.
Each CHSA Finals Hunter Derby class must have a minimum of 10 entries to be eligible to run at
the CHSA Finals show and receive ribbons and prizes. If, at the entry deadline, there are fewer then 10
entries for a class, then the following will occur:
• Fewer then 10 entries but more then 5 at the entry deadline, the class will run but with no prizes
awarded only ribbons. (ie 5 – 9 entries)
• Fewer then 5 entries the class will not run and entry fees will be refunded. If the entry is only
participating in one class the office fee and stall fees will also be refunded. If the entry is also
participating in other classes only the canceled class fee will be refunded. (ie 4 – 1 entries)
