I understand that it is my responsibility to be approved by USPR to compete. All pony/rider combinations must be pre-approved before being allowed to run. I understand that only well-behaved entries capable of pulling up before the turn will be permitted to run at a race track. Additionally, I understand that only the peacock safety stirrups (with rubberband) may be used, no other type of safety stirrup. I understand that there are no additional horses or ponies permitted on the race track grounds that are not running that day and that my pony entry will go to the paddock only accompanied by outriders and no other lead ponies. I also understand that no handlers are allowed on the course except when being released, or the entry will be disqualified. USPR staff and outriders can help entries where needed. I understand that my entry is required to have a current coggins and health certificate and that no dogs or other pets are allowed on the property.
