Explain please...about WBR
« on: September 01, 2009, 03:12:33 PM »
Why can you not change a rider on a horse...but the other rider still run??

"Are rider substitutions allowed?
If you enter and wish to change riders under emergency circumstances you may do so until Friday, August
21st, with a $10 fee. After this date you are allowed to change riders for ($25) until 24 hours prior to the
beginning of the first section. Keep in mind once the original rider has been changed they may not
participate on any other horse during the event."


Edited to add... I understand its a rule just curious...?

First, we are one of the few organizations that will allow rider changes under any circumstances. The main reason rider changes are not allowed, especially after the draw, is because some barrel racers will try to use rider changes to try and get a better draw position. You would not believe the tactics that a small amount of barrel racers will use to try and change draw positions like using rider and/or horse changes. The WBR postition is that we must make the barrel race fair to everybody. The rules are clearly stated before you enter.

I would think this would be a question for them at the office instead of a forum. But hey i'll take a stab at it. I'm going to guess they did this to help us out.. say you got hurt and had 4 horses entered, and it was past the draw out deadline, you can stick someone else on those horses and still have a chance at winning something.

Let us be reminded of what Captain John Parker told his army at Lexington Green, the place where the War for Independence began in 1775. He said, “Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.
