Green Reiner Class and Points
The Green Reiner class is for beginning non pro reiners who have not earned money in reining events. If money is earned in other classes after their initial entry in the program, the rider will not be disqualified from the class and will be allowed to remain in the class until they win 30 points. Points are cumulative from one year to the next. The class will use a modified NRHA pattern so there are no lead changes and rider may show one- or two-handed in any legal bit or hackamore. The class will run on a point system and when a rider earns 30 points, he/she will graduate out of the class and earn their Green Reiner belt buckle to be awarded at the annual awards banquet. The number of horses in the class, exclusive of scratches, will determine the number of points available for each place. The points will be from the Yellowstone Slides only.
Point system example: Six horses in class - 1st place receives six (6) points, 2nd place five (5) points, etc. No points for zeros or "no scores." Rider may earn points on one or multiple horses. The entry fees will go towards the purchase of the belt buckles and will not be paid out.
