2021 AHJA Costume Charity Challenge Riders will form teams: one will compete in an over fences Gamblers Choice, and the other in a Judge’s Command Flat class. The teams will raise money for Children’s Lunchbox, and then ride with that money under their legs (in the form of vouchers). The champion team will receive a prize. For 2021 we will add a Costume Portion to this class. So teams, dress up for a chance for a special prize! All tickets must be used in the Gamblers Choice and then the tickets left under their legs will continue on to the Ride A Buck (additional tickets may be purchased between rounds). If no tickets after Gamblers Choice, the team is eliminated and will not participate in Ride A Buck. For more incentive, riders will be able to retrieve their lost tickets IN EACH PHASE. At the conclusion of each phase (Gamblers Choice and Judge’s Command), teams will be able to retrieve lost tickets depending on their placings. For each rider (team) they may retrieve the number of lost tickets for each team they placed above. For example, your team placed 2 nd out of 5 in the Gambler’s Choice. That team may retrieve 3 lost tickets before moving to Judge’s Command. Your team placed 1st in the Judge’s Command out of 5. Before overall Champion is awarded, that team may retrieve 4 lost tickets. If there is a tie, then the riders will work off until a ticket is lost. All of the entry fees for the AHJA Charity Challenge are donated to Beacon Hill at the end of the show. And riders have up to one hour prior to the class to enter their team. In order to participate in this class, riders are required to enter in teams of two: one rider to ride over fences and another to ride on the flat. A single rider may not participate in both phases. Gamblers Choice: Run according to USEF JP 149, however full seat breeches are not allowed. Riders will have fences ranging from .65m to 1.10m worth 10 to 120 points each, no combinations and fences may be jumped both directions, but each jump may only be jumped twice. Riders must make up their own course and the fences are worth different points based on their height. No points are awarded for fences knocked down and those fences may not be jumped a second time. Riders have 45-90 seconds allowed to jump as many fences as they choose, in any direction or order, after crossing the starting/finishing line in any direction. Rider must return to the finish line when the bell rings, indicating the end of the 90 second time allowed. The Joker Fence, indicated by flags, may be jumped within 20 seconds of the starting time allowed. If jumped cleanly the Joker Fence is worth 200 points. If knocked down, the Joker Fence will deduct 200 points from the rider’s total at the end of the first phase. Ribbons will be awarded for the Gambler’s Choice, 1st-8th. For added challenge, competitors must ride with at least one ticket representing the total cash value of their entry fee tucked under each of their legs as in a Ride a Buck class. Unlimited tickets may be purchased for an advantage, as tickets may be carried anywhere under the rider’s leg without limitation: excepting glue, tape or other adhesives/fixtures (this includes saddle tite and other sticky sprays). Tickets must be carried under the leg and may not be carried under the rider’s seat. Tickets that are retained by the rider over fences may be passed on to the rider on the flat in order to increase the size of ticket bundles. Tickets that are dropped are collected and go directly to support Beacon Hill! Judge’s Command: Riders will compete on the flat, following the judge’s commands. Full seat breeches are allowed. The flat phase will be directed at the discretion of the judge and may include USEF tests 1-19. Ribbons will be awarded for the Judge’s Command, Ribbons 1st-8th. Entry Fee: Minimum of $50. Tickets are purchased for $25 each, minimum two tickets per team, maximum unlimited. Each rider must have at least one ticket in order to participate in their phase, and additional tickets may be “purchased” between phases. The overall Champion of the AHJA Charity Challenge is the team with the most remaining tickets at the end of the Judge’s Command class. The above is for descriptive purposes for the Hobby Horse Charity Challenge
2021 AHJA Hobby Horse Charity Challenge Do you not have a horse? You can still participate in raising money for Children’s Lunchbox! No age limit. The above applies, however instead of horses, riders will have Hobby Horses! Tickets are to be on the stick of the horse, between the rider’s legs. Supplies will be available for riders to “cushion” their Hobby Horses. Gambler’s choice, fences will be from Cross-rails to 1.0m. 901. AHJA Hobby Horse Charity Challenge
