2015 Clinic/Show Package

Pre-Show Saturday Night Supper Come join all of us for burgers/wieners or other favorites, the night before the shows.

Price is $7 (stays within the RAPC fund).

THE 2015 RAPC YEAR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN, ARE YOU READY TO SLIDE?

NEWS NEWS NEWS 2015 is going to be a very exciting upcoming year!! This year is the return of the Provincial Challenge Competition, whereby

our top 3 2014 qualifiers in specific classes attend the Summer Classic in Red Deer. This allowed everyone all winter to

continue improving their skills, and ultimately preparing to win the highly sought after Buckle. Yes that’s correct, every

Provincial Challenge class champion will be awarded a buckle! Further details will be forthcoming so watch the Reining

Alberta website and facebook page for further information.

There are a few new classes being offered at our branch shows this year including a LEAD LINE Class for our little ones

to get started. There is also a BEGINNER FREESTYLE whereby the competitor incorporates specific maneuvers into

their own pattern but the lead change is removed. A previous favorite class, the ADVANCED FREESTYLE, will be

making a comeback, which encourages the competitors to be more creative and increase the skill level. Continuing this

year is WALK/TROT class for the young horses or inexperienced riders of any age as well as the COWBOY

CHALLENGE class to change things up just a bit. Overall, there are classes for pretty much everyone!
