ONLINE ENTRY FORM FOR COLO POA OPEN SHOWS
We will have the option for online entry forms in 2025. This should be easier and will automatically send the entries to our club when you click submit at the end of the form. After you submit your entries, you can print out a version showing the classes you've entered and the total fees.
The online entry form for the May 10 show will be available in spring 2025.
If you'd like to go old school, scroll to the section below for a paper version of the entry form. Submit the online entry form OR send in the paper form, but not both!
You may pay for your entries via PayPal, mail us a check (payable to CPOAC), or pay when you arrive at the show.
If paying by PayPal, please include your name, pony's name, and the date of the show in the description so we can properly credit your payment.
Save $5 on the office fee if entries are received by 5:00 p.m. Thurs. before the show.
Questions? Peggy Lough, 970-483-7491, or email to contact@copoac.org
The age of rider is your age on Jan. 1 of the current year.
Please keep in mind that if you enter a W/T class, you may not enter the corresponding W/J/L class. So, for example, if you enter W-T Western Pleasure (All Ages), you may not also enter your age group Western Pleasure class (which is W/J/L).
PLEASE SEND IN YOUR ENTRIES AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT WE HAVE SOME HOPE OF STARTING THE SHOW ON TIME.
----------------------------------------------
High Point Awards
We offer a high point rider award in each age group at our regular open shows.*
If showing multiple horses in a class, you must stop by the show office before the show to designate which horse to use for points.
Must ride in 50% of age group classes to qualify for daily high point. Tiebreaker is best time in cloverleaf barrels.
*W-T (all ages), open in-hand trail, halter, most colorful, and yearling/2-year-old longe line and in-hand trail don’t count for daily high point.
