High Point Awards: Goes to the individual with the highest total score for a four ride average score for both days. To qualify for High Point Pro and Amateur rider must ride a total of six tests per horse/rider combination. Youth must ride a total of four. Reserve will
go to the second highest total average score for both days. Ties will be broken by using the highest score found on any of the four tests used in the averaging for each rider involved in the tie. A class with only one participant does not count toward High Point awards but does count toward High Score awards.
Honorary High Score: Awards will be given to those, regardless of rider division, who have declared a Veteran, Cancer Survivor, or Silver Rider on the registration form.
Overall High Single Score: Award will be awarded to the individual who has the highest single score (percentage given by judge on each test).
*Freestyle, Partnership and Walk/Walk do not count toward high point or high
score.
CALLERS
The riders are encouraged to memorize their tests. The use of a caller is not mandatory. ORCDA allows the rider to use a caller of their choice; however, the ultimate responsibility
for accurate and correct riding of the test falls upon the rider. We highly recommend that the caller practice with the rider beforehand in order to provide a flawless test call on the day of the show. If the rider chooses to use a caller, it is the rider’s responsibility to
arrange for one.
Please note that we will be offering a maximum of 60 ride slots for each day so
reserve your slots early. Once all the ride slots are filled, we will no longer be able to take more entries.

my horse and for any Harm caused by me or my horse to others, even if the Harm resulted, directly or
indirectly, from the negligence of the ORCDA, Facility, Event Company, Event Coordinator, or Owners. I agree
to expressly assume all risks of Harm to me or my horse, including the Harm resulting from the ORCDA,
Facility, Event Company, Event Coordinator, or Owners. I agree to indemnify (that is, to pay for) any losses,
damages, or costs incurred by me or my horse, my family members or attendants at the event.
I understand that I am not required to wear protective head gear and I acknowledge that ORCDA has notified me to do so, while warning that no protective gear can guard against all injuries. Those under the age of 18
will be required to wear a helmet.

the event for the promotion, coverage or benefit of the ORCDA, Facility, Event Company, Event Coordinator, or Owners. Those likenesses will not be used to advertise a product and they may not be used in such a way
as to jeopardize amateur status in competition. I hereby expressly and irrevocably waive and release any
