Elinore,

 

I am permanently disabled from a car wreck and am not prohibited from participating.  I am an Open competitor with a few thousand miles under my belt.

 

Could you "site" that rule?

 

Thanks!

Did you know that NATRC has a rule specifically prohibiting handicapped individuals from competing in their events? 

How do they get away with that when the PGA can't, and quite frankly, how come they haven't been sued by the AMCLU?

Just wondering.

Some don't like "all the rules" that NATRC has in place, but it seems they have a handle on Disqualification of riders for behavior.

Jonni in TX

 

Disqualification
1. A horse and rider, for the purpose of disqualification, are considered a team.
Disqualification of one automatically constitutes the disqualification of the
other.
2. Judges, the trailmaster, or the ride chairman have the authority to disqualify
competitors for the following reasons:
a. Riders who abuse their horses.
b. Riders who drug their horses, use prohibited medication, or refuse drug
testing.
c. Riders who engage in conduct unbecoming a competitive rider.
d. Major violations of the rules.
e. Entrants completing the day's ride more than 30 minutes before the
minimum time.
f. Unruly horses, such as those difficult to examine or judge.
g. Any competitor who is excessively early or late so as to interfere with
judging or operation of the ride.
h. Openly abusive language or behavior toward management, judges, ride
personnel or other competitors, during or after competition, by the
competitor or any person associated with the competitor, be they family or
friend. Said competitor may be penalized or disqualified as the case
warrants.
3. The rider must be informed by the ride chairman of any disqualification action
prior to awards. If the disqualification occurs during or following awards, the
rider must be notified in writing by the ride chairman of the disqualification
within 7 days of the ride
