3 Year Old: Rider will sort a cow from the herd and witht eh help of two turn back riders and two herd holders, demonstrate the horse's ability to hold the cow. The horse will be judged on how smoothly it works threw the herd and vowiness. Once the rider shows he can control, and hold the cow, rider will drive the cow and pen it on the other end of the arena. Rider will have a basic reining pattern consisting of circles, stops, rollbacks, spins, and picking up leads. Pattern will be posted.
Bridle Horse: Open to any horse shown in shank bit. Solid mouthpieces only (no jointed mouthpieces). Reins held in one hand and cannot be changed suring the run, except to rope or to open/close gate. You can spank your horse behind the sholder, with split or romal. Excessive spanking may incur a penalty.

$2,000 Limited: Is open to any person who has not won $2,000 in Reining, Cutting, Reined Cow Horse events or Ranch Horse competitions. Any age horse may be ridden in any legal bit. The performance will be declared on the entry form.
Rein and Box: is open to anyone who doesn't have the desire to run a cow down the fence or to rope. The only requirements are performing a reining pattern and boxing a cow on the end of the arena. The show committee has the right to ask the contestant to move up another class. The entire committee will have to vote on this.
General Guidelines
This is a timed and point event. Each rider's time will begin when he/she enters the arena and the rider will have a specific amount of time to complete the maneuvers. The whistle will sound for a one minute warning and will sound again at the conclusion of the allotted time. The rider will have 6 or 7 minutes (depending on class).
The contestant rides into the arena, pauses for the announcer to signal start. Start Ranch Riding, next perform a reined work portion, then move straight into a cow-working segment (at this time the rider signals for a cow to be turned out into the arena). Upon completion of the cow work, the rider will then rope the cow and stop it. The time stops then, but the rider must still drive the cow from the arena, while controlling their rope. Rider must open the gate for the next contestant and close the gate after they have entered, and rider has departed the arena.
Ranch Riding
The contestant will ride the horse into the arena, wait for the announcer to signal start. Proceed around the arena to the right, following directions on the posted signs. At the end of tone lap, you will reverse (rollback) and proceed following the posted signs, ending up back at the "in" gate. Run over. Start Reined Work.
Reined Work Portion
The horse will be judged on its ability to perform 6 basic maneuvers: circles, lead changes, stops, back, turn-around (spins) and rollbacks. A pattern, which allows all of these elements to be performed, will be sent out to any contestant requesting one. The pattern will be posted the morning of the show for those who didn't request one.
Cow Work Portion
When the cow is turned out, the rider must box the cow at the end of the arena. If the contestant is only in Rein & Box Class, the rider will not allow the cow to run down the fence, maintaining control so as not to have this happen. In the other classes, the rider will allow the cow to run down the gence, turning the cow both directions. Circling the cow will be at the judge's discretion. DISQUALIFICATION for bluntly or negligently running cow into the fence. This is a Ranch Horse Competition, treat the fence as if it were a 4 strand barbed wire!
Roping Portion
Once the turns have been made, the rider will rope the cow. Judging will consist of three different segments: 1. Speed 2. Rate and Tracking 3. Dallying and Stop. The rider is allowed 2 throws and there is no dragging. After stopping the cow, the rider must return the cow to the catch pen as part of the score. Do not let the rope drag. Handle it and keep control. No contestant will be disqualified for a miss as the judge will still score the speed and the rate and tracking.
