[RC] Juniors and riding with sponsors - k s swigart

Kristin Fisher said:


Actually Rule 10.4 says:
10.4 The sponsor must be a competent adult (21 years or older)
and must be duly entered as a competitor in the event and sponsorship
must be documented on the Junior entry form complete with
sponsor signature, at the time sponsorship begins.


However Rule 10.4.1.2 says:

10.4.1.2 In the event of an emergency and in order to remain
in competition, the Junior who is in last place and
whose pre-registered sponsor is pulled, and there are
no other qualified sponsors to follow, the Junior may
be sponsored by an un-entered qualified rider through
the completion of the ride, with ride management and
ride veterinarian approval. He would receive last
place junior points. This emergency sponsor will receive
no credit for mileage or points. The Junior may
also be sponsored by an adult on foot from the last
veterinary check with the approval of ride management.

So Maryben was right about juniors being allowed to continue with an
un-entered adult, but only if the junior is in last place for juniors
and there is no qualfied sponsor available that IS entered in the ride
(one presumes that one of the qualifications of a sponsor is parental
approval of the individual).

.  But how would that work in endurance?
Juniors can go on with another sponsor.  Actually, if someone is willing
to ride with the junior a non entered person can go on with the junior
to the finish line.  Of course the adult gets nothing in the way of
points or mileage but the undying gratitude of a kid who gets to finish
the ride....mb
