The First Class Fee is $50; $35 for the second class. (If you compete in both Open & Youth or Senior classes and want prizes in both classes the fee is $85). This fee must be paid by 5/18, 2025. We set this date in order to give us an idea as to how much money we have for our Year-End Awards. (Remember this rule applies at the District Level ONLY… You receive National Points whether this District Fee is paid or not).
- You may run as many horses per class as you want ~ (National Rule Section C -8: A competitor with multiple entries will receive points only for the highest placing horse per division).
- New members are allowed until the next race after joining to pay the Ad/Nomination Fee if they choose to compete for year-end awards.
- If you are having a family or financial problem, you can talk to us about these fees.
6. District Awards will be awarded per class per division.
a.Open – 5 Divisions - Up to Five (5) placesb.Senior – 4 Divisions - Up to Three (3) placesc.Youth – 4 Divisions - Up to Three (3) places7.Race Disputes… points, time or something concerning the race. Please do so in writing before the beginning of the next race. This will give us plenty of time to get the problem corrected, without making it difficult to correct. (National Rule Section H-1: Persons who believe a rule violation or infraction has occurred at an NBHA event, may file a written protest with NBHA Headquarters, 2112 Montgomery St. Ft. Worth, TX 76017. The written protest must be accompanied by a $50 protest fee. The protest must be made within 30 days of the incident which is being protested.
