NATRC requires stewards at all of their rides, although in deference 
to some legal liability issues they are now called "Rules 
Interpreters":

> 6.	Rule's Interpreter: The rule's interpreter will not be a 
> family member of the ride chairman or judges (see Section III D 1 
> b). This person must be a member in good standing, approved by NATRC 
> and thoroughly familiar with the NATRC rules. Upon request by a 
> rider or ride official, the rule's interpreter shall interpret the 
> NATRC rules to management and judges and process any disputes 
> concerning rule interpretations. In the event of a dispute, the 
> rule's interpreter will confer with both judges and ride management 
> to enable them to arrive at a prompt decision. If agreement between 
> judges and management is not forthcoming, then the rule's 
> interpreter on behalf of NATRC, is authorized to make a ruling in 
> order to settle the questions. Any such ruling must be reported in 
> writing to the NATRC. If a rule's interpreter sees a rule infraction 
> in process, he or she must notify management and judges so 
> corrective steps can be taken. The rule's interpreter will complete 
> an efficiency report and mail it to the NATRC office within 72 hours.

> b.	No member of the immediate family, by blood, adoption or 
> marriage (to include parents, siblings, grandchildren and in-laws) 
> or any member of the household of the judges or rule's interpreter, 
> nor any horse owned by said family may compete in a division of a 
> ride for which said person is acting in an official capacity.
