Rule Book
The events of gymkhana are varied. Some favor speed, some favor agility. All
favor those with a good relationship with their

CGA separates riders
into speed division and by age. As a result, a rider competes against others
of similar ability. As you and your horse get better, you will move up the divisions
so that you will continue to compete against riders of similar ability. More
information on the times for each division may be found in the

Thirteen events to challenge you and your horse.CGA
is committed to providing opportunity to anyone who can sit on a horse, regardless
of age, ability, or personal challenges. Even the youngest rider can enjoy Gymkhana
in the Lead Line Division. Some of the top riders in the state started out holding
onto the saddle horn and waving to the crowd while being led around the course
on a lead rope.
