E.C.R.D.A Rules for Sanctioning

• Assigned dates cannot be changed without contacting the Competition Coordinator first.
• All new dates must be cleared with the Competition Coordinator
• The Competition Coordinator must be informed if a show is to be canceled.
• Two shows held on the same day must be a minimum of 30 miles from each other.
• All test offered must be AHSA/USAE, USDF, or ECRDA Lead-Line.
• ECRDA rules for Starter Division must be adhered to.
• The Starter Division is only for starter riders and will be called such.
• All shows are encouraged to offer separate classes for green horses (starter horse division). Green horses with open riders may not be included in the starter rider classes. They should also be separate from the open division and must be pinned separately.
• There will be a calendar of events in the monthly Newsletter, in which sanctioned shows will be advertised free of charge. A sanctioned show must advertise for a minimum of 30 days prior to the date of the show. The ad will consist of the name of the facility holding the event, the date of the event, the classes offered, the judge, the opening and closing dates, and the contact person.
• Schooling shows are for educational purposes and we suggest a minimum of 2 extra minutes between rides to allow the judge time to talk with each rider about their ride.
• Judges MUST have a minimum of 1 ten minute break every 2 hours, plus a lunch break of 45 minutes. More than the minimum is recommended.
• Individual shows are responsible for having their own insurance.
