ATTENTION STUDENTS:

Please have your rule books read so you are familiar with ALL the rules for the upcoming spring rodeo season.    There are several areas of concern that need to be addressed.

     Shirts MUST be tucked in.  Have pride in yourselves, you don't want to look like a slob.

     Hats NEED to stay on!  A lot of time is being wasted retrieving hats from the arena during the rodeos!  There is a difference between the wind

     blowing your hat off your head and tipping it way back so it falls off as soon as you enter the arena.  Judges and student directors have been keeping

     track of whose hats consistently come off.  If this keeps happening, your hats will be left in the arena for the horses and/or cattle to step all over them.

     Western hats are part of your attire and must stay on.

     Horses need to be box broke.  Leave the practice horses at home. Again, a lot of time is being wasted by people whose horses don't know how to

     stand in the box.  If your horse is one of them, practice more before you enter any rodeos.
