RULES: This rally is governed by the 2025 USPC Horse Management Handbook and the 2025 USPC Eventing Rulebook and current Annual Newsletters. Go to ponyclub.org and click on Rulebooks to view the most current Horse Management and Eventing Rulebooks. It is also essential to review the 2025 Newsletters for both Eventing and Horse Management.
TEAMS: EBTH is for not yet certified, D, and members who have never attended a rally. Each team will consist of 3-4 riders and a Stable Manager. C Advisors are allowed, but we encourage C-2 and upper level members to volunteer as Assistant Horse Management Judges (AHMJs). Each rider and stable manager will have a turnout inspection and written test, and each team will have a Setup and Safety Check and Required Equipment Check. Each team must have a 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 “scramble” team or send in such entries to be placed on a scramble team by the Organizer. Non-members are welcome to participate, but there’s an extra form to sign, just ask!
