  6. Activities Department With the expanded opportunities for Championships participation, an update to rally terminology was needed

  7. Standard Rally Standard rallies are always the preferred.  These rallies specifically follow all the rules outlined in the discipline rulebooks including utilizing a chief horse management judge from the approved CHMJ list on the USPC website, and any other specified licensed officials.  Certain divisions of Championships require the member attend a standard rally, and attendance at a standard rally and meeting minimum eligibility requirements guarantees a member’s ability to attend Championships.    Modified Rally Modified rallies do not specifically follow the discipline rulebooks and generally occur because of limited resources.  While attendance of a modified rally makes some members eligible for the modified divisions of Championships, it does not meet the minimum eligibility requirements for other divisions.

  8. Activities Department Rally divisions have been reorganized to integrate members of all ages.

  9. Junior Divisions Senior Divisions Up to 17 year of age 18 year and older Divisions may still be combined by rally organizers according to the number of entrants. If divisions are split by age, Juniors may continue to compete up as in the past, but Seniors may not compete down. Note: Combing junior and senior teams into one division is note the same as combining junior and senior members onto one team. That requires the approval of the junior competitor, their parent and DC.

  15. USPC USPC Championships

  16. USPC Championships Effective 2019 USPC Championships has expanded by offering new divisions in every discipline at certain competition levels. Minimum eligibility requirements for divisions are set by each discipline. (old ‘qualifying’ parameters are no longer relevant) Championships Divisions: Modified Championships Divisions: Must be 12 years old by Jan. 1, 2019 Must be 10 years old by Jan. 1, 2019 Mounted– C1 Riding Mounted– D2 Riding Unmounted – D3 HM Unmounted - D2 HM Age and Certification minimum requirements for ALL disciplines There are NO exceptions for age or certification for Championships.

  17. USPC Championships Division Format Comparison Both championship and modified divisions will specifically follow the discipline rules as outlined in each rulebook. Modified Championships Divisions Due to the adjusted mounted eligibility requirements for the modified divisions, all disciplines will use a shortened mounted competition format from that of championship divisions and the schedule will be adapted to include full group educational workshops, and more one on one team time with HM staff. The competition format and schedule of each discipline will be posted in the 2019 Guidebook.

  18. USPC Championships USPC Championships Horse Management at Championships The judging of horse management will adhere to horse management competition standards as outlined in the 2019 Horse Management Handbook. The horse management competition standards are the same across both championship and modified divisions, for all disciplines. Horse management will follow previous Championships by adhering to horse management competition standards while allowing members to showcase their horse management knowledge and expertise in the championship competition setting. The point value system used for judging will be the same for both championship and modified divisions.

  19. USPC Championships Championship Divisions Competitors need to know and come prepared to demonstrate their knowledge of horse management competition standards. Modified Championships Divisions Competitors need to know and come prepared to demonstrate their knowledge of horse management competition standards. If a competitor is unprepared to demonstrate to the standard, the HM staff will help by advising and helping while the competitor will take an active role in completing the task. Modified championship divisions will adhere to the same competition standards as championship divisions but will be structured to allow additional education to members when understanding, and execution, if the competition standard has not been met. Expanded education opportunities include one on one in the moment, horse management staff time with individual teams to expound on a specific topic, and full group workshops to cover areas generally proven less understood across all disciplines. The horse management staff in the modified divisions will explore the How’s and Why’s of foundation horse management while maintaining the same level of HM standard as the championship division.

  20. USPC Championships Educational Workshops Each discipline and horse management staff will provide the modified divisions full group unmounted workshops that will focus on education of foundation skills for their future success in their sport. These workshops will be a part of the modified competitor’s competition day and attendance will be required. Workshop descriptions will be listed in the Guidebook. Stabling Championship and modified teams will be stabled together by discipline. One horse management team will be hired by each discipline and will be the HM staff for both championship and modified divisions within the same discipline. Awards The awards given in each division will indicate which level and division in which a team has competed.
