2014 Schedule & Rule Changes

Hey guys,

The first jackpot is 4 weeks away and I hope you're all taking advantage of this beautiful March weather getting your horses ready for some racing!!

The schedule for 2014 will be as follows:

April 14 – Tremonton (*NEW indoor) arena
May 5 – Preston arena
May 19 – Malad arena
June 2 – Logan arena
June 30 – Lewiston arena
July 14 – Preston arena
August 4 – Tremonton (outdoor) arena
August 18 – Preston arena
September 8 – Logan arena
September 22 – Tremonton (outdoor/indoor) arena, depending on weather conditions

The new rules proposed for this year were all approved at the membership meeting held last month (see email sent Feb 17).

Summary of the rule changes:

1. Entry fees will increase by $1. The open will now be $26 ($28 for nonmembers) and $16 for youth ($18 for nonmembers). The $1 increase will go toward gate/barrel/pole setters. These setters will need to stay from 6:30 p.m. to the last pole run. **If you know anyone that would like to sign up now for a specific arena/date, let me know ASAP and I will reserve their name. We need 4-5 setters at each barrel race; they will get paid their portion of the $1 pot.

2. There will be no time only runs BEFORE the jackpot; only after the jackpot has ended.

3. Open division splits will now be full-second splits.

4. A high-point saddle will now be part of the year-end awards.

Also remember that we have a website (http://statelinejackpot.blogspot.com), a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/statelinejackpot), and a mailing list (statelinejackpot@gmail.com). Make sure you follow the website, like the Facebook page, and get on the emailing list (send an email to statelinejackpot@gmail.com to request to be put on the mailing list) to make sure you keep up-to-date with all our information!

I will send out an email the week before April 14 letting you know how to enter.

SEE YOU ALL APRIL 14 IN TREMONTON!!
