Non Pro Limited Challenge

Hey you limited riders!

chance for input on the LIMITED CHALLENGE. If you guys are reading this please comment. The current entry fee for the challenges is 220.00 dollars
with 200.00 going directly back to the jackpot. Is that a fair amount? Will it keep anyone out of the challenge?

If 25 of the limited riders enter you guys end up with a 5000.00 plus jackpot that is as much as the snaffle bit futurity ( if my math is correct ). Well, there's more than 25 limited riders so this could be the biggest jackpot you will ever have a chance at. At least until next year that is. At 25 riders it will pay 7 slots with a minimum $250.00 to 7th place.

Let me know what you think you guys....

By the way The Professionals committee is strongly suggesting all limited riders practice there herd work at Lynden on fresh cattle. The 250 ltd will only have x amount of cows available and they will get nasty fast. Following the herd work train of thought I would like to make a couple comments regarding herd work etiquette.

1) Riders need to find there own herd work help- you need to ask for help in each of the four positions. It is the exhibitors responsibility to find and ask for help.
2) Let your help know what your draw and set number are.
3) Thank your herd help,

Once again thank these guys it is not there responsibility to turn back for every rider all day and night. They would much rather watch the show with a beer in there
hand and relax but because we have a great bunch of professionals who care about the members they do it anyway and they don't complain.

I cant stress this enough-Please ask for and organize your herd help prior to showing.If you are uncomfortable with this ask your trainer to help you find help. They will have an idea of who will be the best for you and your horse. Make sure they do it. If you don't have a trainer find the riders rep or myself and we will help you set up herd help.

  1. I am game to play at that entry fee. But, I'm also open to what the majority feels would bring in the most entries.
    And hey..... thanks for the "heads up" on arranging for our own herd help! Teresa Thompson

  2. ... From Kris Troxel....
    I love the idea of a NP Ltd Challenge and plan to come and show at that show. The $250 additional for the challenge does not bother me and would not stop me from showing at it as it is a special thing. It is my understanding that it would be in addition to the 2 days of the NRCHA boxing entry fees as those will be wholly contained classes. I do understand that it might make some folks unwilling to show in the challenge as they may not have much experience in the herd and may just be starting out. If the group decides to lower the challenge
    fee that would be fine with me.
