Green Rider Level One and Level Two Buckle Series This Series starts the 1st of January of each year and the finals will be held at each Affiliate Clubs last show prior to the Reining Australia National Show of that year. We encourage Affiliates to promote this exciting new program to all the non sanctioned competitors and to include these classes on their show programs.

All competitors will start as Green Rider Level 1 until they attain the require number of points in that category.

How it works:

Each Affiliate Club will run these classes in conjunction with their Club Shows throughout the year, which will be Green Rider Level 1 & 2 which will be run concurrently.

Green Rider Level 1 Open to any rider holding valid RA Associate card and has less than $100 in RA lifetime earnings, all categories, has less than twenty five (25) lifetime Youth points and less than fifty (50) Green Rider points.

Green Rider Level 2 Open to any rider holding valid RA Associate card and has less than $100 in RA lifetime earnings, all categories, has less than twenty five (25) lifetime Youth points and less than 100 (100) Green points.

Green Rider Level 1 & 2 Conditions

• When exhibitors reach the point level to earn out of the class they will receive an award
• All riders must pay the Annual fee of $30 to be in the program
• Entry fees are to be determined by show management
• Show management cannot charge exhibitors a judge’s fee
• Show management can retain any percentage of the entry fee
• Must use NRHA patterns 1 – 11. However simple lead changes are allowed and the rider may use one (1) or two (2) hands at any time during the pattern.

The Point System Regardless of how many are in each class the following points will be awarded for each class run. 10 points for first through to one point for 10th Place

• Tied places will receive the same points equally. i.e. 6th place tie both receive 6 points each.
• Finals ties will be separated by highest scoring run for that year
•  If both get the highest scoring run then we look at the next highest scoring run and so on.

Each Affiliate Club will hold a final at their last club show for the year, prior to the Reining Australia nationals, where their affiliate Green Rider Level 1 and Level 2 will be awarded to the winners.

Entrants in the Green Rider program will also have the opportunity to run in these two classes at the Reining Australia Nationals with trophy buckles to be awarded to the winners, this will be a clean slate final. If a rider goes out of their category during the year they will still be eligible to compete at the Nationals of that year.

Reining Australia will throughout the year send out achievement awards within the Green Rider Series to each affiliate for their finals of each class.

Reining Australia will provide awards for each affiliate for each of the winners of Green Rider Level 1 and Level 2.
