Deer Creek Pony Club invites you to join us at the Silver Spur Stables for D Rally. This is a fantastic way to learn and enjoy the USPC Rally experience in a more low-key environment.
General Information: D Rally features divisions for D and Unrated members and their mounts. Price includes One Dressage test and One Show Jumping round. All horses will be tied to trailers. One trailer that can tie 3 - 4 horses safely for each team is ideal, this will become our restricted barn area. All other trailers will be parked in a separate designated area after unloading.
RULES: This D Rally is governed by the 2025 USPC Horse Management Handbook and the 2025 USPC Eventing Rulebook and current Annual Newsletters. You can ?nd the current rulebooks at ponyclub.org. Login and click on Events, then Rulebooks. It is also essential to review the 2025 newsletters for both Eventing and Horse Management. IMPORTANT: Copies of these rulebooks and Newsletters are part of the required equipment in each team’s tack room.
Teams: Teams will consist of up to 4 riders, 1 stable manager, and 1 C advisor, if available. Each rider will have a Jog out and Turnout Inspection. Each team must have one chaperone (older than 21, chaperones may also be volunteers). If a club does not have a complete team, they may call other clubs to make up a “scratch/scramble” team or send in such entries to be placed on a scratch team by the organizer. Teams will be tying horses to the trailer, one trailer per team should be brought that can tie 3-4 horses. Please make arrangements within your club about which trailer your team will use to tie horses.
