No horsemanship judging in ECTRA (Eastern Competitive Trail Riding  
Association) either ... www.ectra.org

Quoting Sharon Hahn <sharon.hahn@xxxxxxx>:

> Cindy Stafford asked where she can find rules for competitive trail
> rides.  It would depend on the sanctioning body.  Some competitive rides
> are NATRC.  In the Upper Midwest where I live, they are generally
> sanctioned by UMECRA, which operates under completely different rules
> from NATRC.  An AHA ride will be different still.  So find out which
> organization sanctions the competitive rides in your area, and then check
> that organization's website or ask a ride manager where you can find the
> rules.  Another good way to learn is to volunteer at a ride as a vet
> secretary so you learn how to fill out the scoresheets and what all the
> scores mean.
>
> My understanding is that NATRC has a horsemanship component to judging,
> while UMECRA and AHA rides score only on the physical toll the ride takes
> on your horse (scoring based on time, pulse, respiration, soreness,
> galls, etc.).
