WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
At the CVSC Gymkhana, "speed and agility" range from 'highly competitive' to 'just out for a jog' and 'just hoping to get through it at a walk'. All riders are welcome and respected.
CAN I WIN PRIZES?
You bet! For daily gymkhanas, flat ribbons are given out to sixth place and cash payouts are given for hi-point and reserve. Members with 8 or more gymkhana's within the year are eligible for year-end awards.
DOES MY HORSE NEED SPECIAL TRAINING?
No. Virtually any horse can participate in gymkhana. They need to be sound and healthy, and able to turn and stop on command. From there, most people introduce the various patterns at a walk, and move up as the horse gets accustomed to the environment, the pattern, and the markers (barrels, poles, etc.) in the arena. Gymkhana work is excellent for working on suppling, lead changes, and for keeping horses in heavy training from getting bored or sour.
