Club Show Rules  - Last Updated January 2022

  • Membership: ALL riders and owners MUST be members of Clements Cutting Club. You must sign a membership release, be a member and settle your account prior to showing your horse (you may leave a blank check with the show secretary to settle account). To comply with CCC insurance requirements anyone riding or showing a horse on the show grounds must be a member. Memberships are due annually and renew on January 1st. We do offer family memberships that will cover a spouse and children under the age of 18. Annual membership fees are $50. If showing at the the last show of the year, we offer a half price membership of $25 for that last show.
  • Contestants are responsible for determining the eligibility of themselves and their horses to enter any class. Eligibility is based upon rider's and/or horse's LTE. Any points and/or monies earned by an ineligible horse or rider will automatically be revoked. Monies won in events restricted by age (futurities, derbies, maturities, etc.) shall NOT be counted when determining eligibility.
  • Must show in a minimum of 50% of shows to qualify for year end awards. The point system will be used to determine year end awards. In the event of a tie for year end awards, the rider/horse that has attended the most shows will receive the award. If they have attended the same number of shows, the tie will be broken by rider/horse with the most money earned throughout the current club show year. If a tie still remains, then there will be a coin flip to break the tie.
  • Entries are due the Wednesday before the show, we order cattle on Thursday. Once a horse is in the draw, no money will be refunded. If a horse is scratched before the draw, you will be charged a cattle fee for each class scratched. If you enter after the deadline and the cattle have been ordered you will be added last in the draw.
  • Failure to pay an outstanding balance from a previous show will result in contestant and their horses being unable to show until the balance is paid in full.
  • Any entry changes after midnight Thursday night will be assessed a $25 change fee per entry.
  • Show management reserves the right to cancel any class in which three or less horses are entered. Small classes may be combined with another class and cattle from that class added to make a sizeable herd.
  • All payments with credit card will have 3.5% CC Fee.
  • Clements Cutting Club runs their shows in a 2 Pen rotation format which can be found on the show detail/entry pages. In the event that a show has a small number of entries, show management reserves the right to run the show in 1 pen.
  • There is a mandatory $14 CA Drug Fee charged per horse at every show (fees updated by state of CA for 2022)

Year End Award Tie-Breaker Rule:
In the event that there is a tie for a year end award placing, ties will be broken in the following order:
1st by # of shows attended, if both members attended the same number of shows, then the total earnings for the show year will be looked at second as a tie breaker. In the event that both the number of shows and the amount of money earned in the year are the same, then a coin flip shall be held to determine the champion.
