Our final show of 2022 will be July 7-10!
Can you help us with Live Scoring or at the back gate for the makeup show? We’d really appreciate it!
Youth kids! If you’d like to be eligible for a scholarship, here’s what you need to know. We usually require you to volunteer at two or more of our shows, but if you can pitch in 3 out of 4 days at this show, we’ll waive that requirement and you’ll be eligible to apply for our $500+ scholarship!
New stuff:
- We have three shows this year, all at the Idaho Horse Park
- All our shows will have NRCHA and Intermountain Reined Cowhorse Association approved Horse Show Classes! The July show will also include an NRCHA/ImRCHA Derby and a NRCHA Bridle Spectaculars/Super Spectacular.
- We’ve updated a few class names and eligibility requirements to stay consistent with the new NRCHA rules. See the class list for explanations, names, and earnings caps.
- The Doug Koontz Saddlery custom year-end saddle will go to the 2022 Non Pro Bridle Spectacular Year End Champion!! In 2023, it will go to the Boxing Spectacular Champion before returning to the Open for 2024. Boxing and Open champions will receive a very nice saddle from The Saddle House in 2022.
Checks
How do I get a year-end award?
- You have to show at all three of our shows (May 20-22, June 10-12, and July 7-10).
- You have to enter the same Gem State class at all three shows.
- Your placing will be determined by the number of horses you beat at each show.
- You must receive a score greater than 0 in 66% of your runs.
- Ties for the year-end champion will be broken by the highest cumulative cow score.
You're probably used to hearing this by now,
What's with the multiple associations and all these acronyms I keep seeing?!
Entering an NRCHA class means that you’ll be working towards qualifying for the NRCHA World Show in your class, adding to you and your horse’s official NRCHA Lifetime Earnings, and competing for extra added money.
ImRCHA: Intermountain Reined Cowhorse Association. A regional alliance of Reined Cowhorse shows in the Northwest. Intermountain classes are an add-on to NRCHA classes, meaning you won’t make a separate run to compete in them and you can’t enter them without also entering the NRCHA class. You’ll be competing for year-end points in the circuit! Circuit winners get great prizes at the year-end banquet.
GSSHA: That’s us! You’ll see our club referred to as Gem State Stock Horse Association, GSSHA, or simply Gem State. We’re a grassroots club that offers a welcoming, friendly place to show for brand new members and Million Dollar Riders alike.
Our club show classes do not have added money, but you may win a small check from our $15/entry jackpot. You’ll also compete for points for our highly acclaimed year-end awards.
What do I enter? It’s totally up to you. Gem State and NRCHA classes run concurrent, which means that you’ll make just one run even if you enter both associations. You can also enter NRCHA without entering Gem State, or you can enter Gem State without entering NRCHA.
If want to show in the Futurity, Derby, or Bridle Spectacular classes, the choice is easy. We only offer Gem State options for those classes.
