With a few of us heading to the WCRA reining show in Kamloops this weekend, I thought it might be a good idea to review how penalty points are given in a reining class. Once again I have found this information on Lynda Smith's forum on her "Manestream Reining" site. Thanks, Lynda-This is good information! ( http://www.manestreamreining.com/forums/)
Penalties in Reining
This is just a guideline, get a current copy of the NRHA Rule Book for full details.
1/2 point penalty
a) a delayed change of lead by one stride
b) starting a circle at a jog
c) exiting a rollback at a jog up to 2 strides
d) for over or under spinning up to 1/8 of a turn
e) failure to remain 20 feet away from the wall or fence when approaching a stop or rollback.
1 point penalty
a) each time a horse is out of lead, a judge is required to penalize by 1 point. The penalty for being out of lead is accummulative, so the judge will add 1 penalty point for each 1/4 of the circumference of a circle that the horse is out of lead.
b)
for over or under spinning up to 1/4 of a turn
2 point penalty
a) break of gait
b) freezing up in spins or rollbacks
