The Obstacle Course Jackpot will be a a timed and judged competition through an obstacle course that is designed not only to push equine and rider teams out of their traditional "comfort zones," but also to test communication between animal and rider and the horse/mule/donkeymanship skills and athletic abilities of each competitor. 

There will be a minimum of 12 Obstacles in the Advanced Obstacle challenge, 10 in the Fun Run and 6 in the Kids Class.

OBJECTIVES AND JUDGING 
The Challenge will be a timed event during which the performance of each equine and rider team will be judged on each obstacle for quality of horse/mule/donkeymanship. Judges will award points on a scale of 1-10 for the horse and rider’s performance through each obstacle based on the following criteria:
horse/mule/donkeymanship,
cadence,
control,
equine’s attitude, and
overall execution.

Horses/mules/donkeys and riders will be required to complete the course in a set time. It will be up to the rider to determine if they are spending too much time on a single obstacle.  It will be up to the rider to decided when to move on to the next obstacle.  Any obstacle not completed with in the allotted time will receive a score of zero for the uncompleted obstacles.
