 So what will happen that horse will run three times at the semi finals?
Read the rules You are NOT qualifying the horse you are qualifying the rider. However once a horse is qualified it can't be qualified again. Example say three riders qualify on the same horse only one can ride that horse at the semi finals and at the finals. |

Yes you can! At least from me. |

| Â Did they have very many qualifiers in any events east of the Mississippi River? Just curious. I don't care how they do things. It's their event and everyone knows what is at stake when they enter. |

Take my geography with a grain of salt..... But there was one in Ohio and one still to come in Florida. Idk if I'm missing any more, though! |

There's also no rule that says you have to run the horse you qualified on. My guess would be probably not. Three balls-to-the-wall runs in a few hours would be a HUGE task. Not to mention, there's the chance the riders could draw up back to back.
R8: A horse may not be ridden by two contestants, or twice by the same contestant, at one Qualification Race, the Semi-Finals or the American, regardless of the relationship of the contestants.

I dont think anyone that was confused was for or against changing the rule, they wanted more info. I on the other hand knew the rule from prior discussions on here and still dont like multiple people qualifying on one horse.
Its going to turn into a popularity contest and a battle of money to buy your way onto a top horse instead of running your own. IMO
Also the one I noticed last night didnt qualify the rider anyways... |

I would like to see them all ran on a standard pattern for reference and only allow a horse to qualify 1 person.
What would you gals do differently?
Only qualify one horse, only one attempt allowed, and pick one race. If you don't make it the first time - too bad. |

and drop the entry fees. JMO, $500 is outrageous. |

Thanks for clarifying! My mistake :)

 That's pretty tough to do since the exemption has to be a previous World Champion. That leaves us Charmayne, Kristie Peterson, Kelly Kaminski and Janae Ward. You can't count Brittany and Sherry since they are still rodeoing hard.I realize there ate World Champions prior to the 80's but I was just covering the last 30 years. |

Well those are some different ones to use instead of the same people |

Totally agree. The high entry fee is what keeps it an elite group that tries to qualify. I wouldn't want to wait for 1500 good runs just to see 100 great runs, to see 10 AMAZING runs at each qualifier. Lol |

I agree. There are a lot of slot races with less money up for grabs with at least if not more than $500 entry. |

Are you entering? Do you plan to? Do you have a horse that can hang? If not, why does it matter to you? |

Location: Broxton, Ga | rodeomom3 - 2014-11-02 5:32 PM How many indoor arenas across the country are big enough to run a standard pattern? The American finals is on a tiny pattern. I would like to see more qualifiers make it back to the semis when they draw as many entries as the Texas one did. I did hear that one horse qualified 3 people- wonder how that work if all 3 made it to the finals?
I don't think they will ride the same horse in the semi's..........don't think that is allowed........."think" is the key word........those I know that qualified on the same horse.....same family.......have the caliber horses to run the semi's that didn't make their qualifying run........... |
