If weather is a problem on scheduled day, cancellation notice will be posted here by 6:00 AM day of the event.

Start time is 10:00 AM. Each gymkhana consists of 10 patterns. We offer three divisions.

Division I: Beginner Walk/Trot - for people of all ages who don't yet have the confidence to canter or gallop but still want to have fun and even win some ribbons for their accomplishments. Cantering in this class will mean a disqualification.

Division II: Intermediate - for anyone feeling safe at a trot or slow canter.

Division III: Advance - For riders of all ages who want to go for the glory. This is a true gallop style gymkhana.

Cost is $5.00 per pattern or $45.00 for all 10.

End of the Day: Fun 4 All - This will be open to everyone who wants to pay an additional $5 to participate. It is a fun game pattern including "Follow the Leader" and "Potato and Spoon Race" in which the winner takes 50% of the cash pot and the other 50% goes to benefit Central New England Equine Rescue.

Patterns - Introducing some new fun and competitive patterns this year. All patterns used can be found by going to http://www.azgymkhana.com/patterns.htm .

Disqualifying - there are only 3 ways to disqualify during a pattern

1. Breaking the pattern

2. Breaking the timer during your pattern

3. Breaking into a canter during your pattern in the Beginner Walk/Trot division

Rules - only a couple of rules apply

1. Children under the age of 18 must wear an ASTM/SEI helmet although everyone is encouraged to wear one.

2. Excessive punishment of your horse will not be tolerated and shall result in the disqualification for the duration of the gymkhana

3. MUST HAVE FUN!!
