The NEW scoring will be all obstacles are valued at 10 points, 0 points for no attempt and the quality of performance will determine your score. Good would be 6 to 9, and 10 points would be a perfect score. Fair performance would score from 1 to 5. The KyQHA events will not be timed. The KTRA events will be timed. We still consider it a race and it breaks all ties. Their will be a minimum of 14 obstacle per event.
We are considering producing a video of the obstacles being preformed correctly and all of the different one so they can be practiced. The KTRA will always retain the right to introduce new obstacles at every event without notice.
Anita Duncan of Loretta Kentucky took first place at our Spring XTREME COWBOY CHALLENGE. CONGRATULATIONS ANITA! WELL DONE!
Our Vice President David Thompson of LaGrange Kentucky took second place, David rode the event bridle less and only lost by one point. Very impressive David.
Third Place went to an outstanding young man. 11 year old Garrett Hamilton of Loretta Kentucky competed in the adult division and placed third to beat out over 20 adults.
Way to go! We'll be watching this young man for many years to come.
