BIG Changes For Reichert Celebration’s 2013 Equine Chronicle Color Classic: Free Entry Fee*, No Longer a Maiden Event, and Prize Money Awarded as Riders Leave the Pen
April 12, 2013
By: Brittany Bevis, Equine Chronicle

Reichert Celebration show management has just relayed the exciting news that there are some big changes in store for the 2013 Equine Chronicle Color Classic Western Pleasure class. Keeping with the original goal of promoting color breed horses, trainers, and riders, many of these changes were made in an effort to increase participation and provide more opportunities for the limited division exhibitor.

One interesting change is that the 2013 Equine Chronicle Color Classic will no longer be strictly a maiden western pleasure event. Historically, in order to compete in this event at the Reichert Celebration, horses could not have been shown prior to the class. Show management hopes this change will help open up the entry pool to additional 2-year-old horses that would’ve otherwise not been able to compete.

However, the idea of encouraging riders to compete with maiden horses has not disappeared altogether. There will be a Maiden Bonus to be paid in the Open division of the class and a considerable number of maiden horses are expected to participate. 

The biggest change is that there is NO ENTRY FEE if entered by August 1, 2013. That’s right folks, it’s not a typo. There will be no entry fee for the 2013 Equine Chronicle Color Classic, as long as riders enter before August 1st. Those who choose to enter after that deadline will need to pay a mere $250 entry fee. Also, any decision to make a horse change after August 1st will also be subject to a $250 entry fee.

As a result of this change, entries in both the Open and Limited division are available to anyone that would like to participate, as long as those individuals meet the original “color breed rider and trainer definition” and other division requirements. Interested parties can download entry forms at www.ReichertCelebration.com. Once the entry forms have been returned to the office, they will be published to the Entry Owners list on the Reichert Celebration website.

Another big change that will please many exhibitors is that prize money for the class will be paid as exhibitors are leaving the show pen. At this time, there is a minimum of $25,000 in added money with the possibility of more to come. Click here to read more!
