Show Rules and Responsibilities

To help ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for everyone, below you’ll find important information on the show rules for each association CoWN is affiliated with. Riders are expected to know and follow the rules of the associations they are competing under. While show management is here to help, it is ultimately each rider’s responsibility to be in compliance. Please note that riders who do not follow the rules may be disqualified and could forfeit earnings and/or prizes.
