Due to insurance requirements - All dogs must be kept on a leash and exhibitions are one at a time. There is no riding around in the arena while exhibitions are taking place and keep in forward motion.  Only allowed to circle barrel once.

If doing a slow exhibition, when come off 3rd barrel, please go to the fence line so next person can start. If fast exhibition, please let the person working the gate know so, he/she can hold the next person back so you can run back.

NO DRAMA is allowed at the events. Please leave them at home, your barn, or at the gate. :) We are here to have some family filled, clean fun.

Please do not take the following personal, it is just me and how I work. When the show begins, only 1 more other person allowed in the announcer's stand with me, unless I call for one more. As you know, I multitask and to stay straight, I cannot think when I have a lot of other stuff going on in the background around me. I want a smooth, flowing show and that is what I aim for each month. This is a personal goal of mine. :)


PLEASE BE AWARE THE GATE TO THE RANCH DOES NOT OPEN TILL 10 AM.
