| Rules for the Ultimate Trail Race & the Amazing Mule Race with the exception that it's MULES ONLY in the Amazing Mule Race.
Discription and goal – The “Ultimate Trail Race” is a test of skill of the horse/mule and rider as a team, training of the horse/mule, and speed in which the course can be completed. In order to win, each of the challenges must be completed with bands collected, then be the first across the finish line with the largest number of white bands. Speed alone will not win the race.
1. Good Sportsmanship is an absolute. The Challenge Master has the last word and may disqualify any rider if they witness poor sportsmanship.
2. The Challenge Master has the right to stop any rider and horse/mule if he/she believes the horse/mule is being over taxed.
3. Horse/mule and rider must cross the finish line together. Horse/mule that a rider begins the race with must be the same they finish with.
4. You must have the required number of bands when crossing the finish line or you will be disqualified. Riders will be told at the beginning of each race how many bands they must have when crossing the finish line.
5. White bands are given by the Challenge Referee for an acceptable completion of a challenge.
6. Black bands are given when rider chooses to end that specific challenge. Example, horse/mule will not do the challenge or rider cannot do the challenge and the rider does not want to spend the time trying. This option is to allow the rider to make a smart choice for safety.
7. Black bands cause a drop of one level at the finish line. Example, if a rider crosses the finish line first but has a black band then the second rider crosses the finish line after the first rider but has all white bands the second rider wins first place and the first rider receives second place and so on. Each rider must have at least one white band, if each rider has the same number of white bands places are awarded according to the order each crosses the finish line.
8. When a written clue is given, unless specified, the end result is important and there may be some variation in getting to the end challenge. Example, picking up an object, one might jump off the horse, pick it up and remount; another rider might loop a rope around and lift. Both are correct.
9. You must give your age for grouping. Age groups are 10-14 years old, 15-30 years old, 31-45, and 45+. A rider may choose to compete up from the 10-14 yr. group or down a group from the 45+ group. If there is not enough to compete an age group then a rider may choose to compete in another group when permission is given by the finish line judge.
10. The Championship racers are the first place winners of each preliminary group up to 6 racers. In the case where there is only one preliminary group the Challenge Referees may choose to combine two age groups for the final race.
11. All Championship racers must ride the same horse as they did in the preliminary race. In the event the 1st place winner cannot race in the championship the second place winner of their group may take that spot.
Equipment that you must have; bridle and saddle with breast strap.
Recommended equipment; rope.
