Rules for McDonald’s Shootout

The Top Ten ACHA Junior Youth and the Top Ten ACHA Senior Youth will be eligible to compete in a one go-round shoot-out to be held during the American Championships. Youth class rules will apply.  Each rider must compete on a horse which the rider has shown at least once in the youth class during the qualifying year.  Each rider will be allotted two and one-half (2½) minutes to work, and each run will receive a score.  The rider with the highest score in the go-round will be the McDonald's Shoot-Out Champion in each division. In the event of a tie for the winning score, there will be a work off to determine the winner.  McDonald's Shoot-Out Champions will not be eligible to compete in the subsequent year’s shoot-out.

Award:  ACHA Junior Youth Shoot-out Champion Saddle and ACHA Senior Youth Shoot-out Champion Saddle.
