ALL CONTESTANTS must collect a minimum of $100 in pledges to South Central Cancer Resource one of two ways:
- Contestants MUST use the pledge forms if collecting pledges from the community.
- If you do not want to collect pledges, you may pay the $100 minimum at the time of entry instead. In this case, please do not fill out a pledge form – we will place you on a contestant donor form at time of entry. You will receive a charitable tax receipt for your $100 pledge if you want one.
Pledge forms are available at rocking.com.
- It is preferable that each contestant use their own form, however, we will allow spouses/couples or families to share a form for convenience. There must be $100 raised per contestant on combined forms.
- IF you are planning on going for the “Highest Fund Raiser awards”, PLEASE use one form per contestant.
- ALL FUNDS WILL BE COUNTED AND RECONCILED for each contestant at race check-in! If a contestant is short money, they will be expected to make up that difference. Please make sure you’ve counted correctly. Contestants must submit their pledges in order to compete.
- If you have a considerable amount of cash collected, please consider writing a personal cheque or obtaining a bank draft for the amount of cash donated. This will save a lot of time at entry check-in the morning of the event.
Charitable tax receipts:
All pledges will receive a charitable tax receipt from SCCR providing the pledge form is complete with all required information and is legible. Please write neatly! If they can’t read your handwriting, they won’t send a tax receipt.
In addition to the pledges collected, the funds raised from the Silent Auction and the canteen will be directed to South Central Cancer Resource as well.
Charitable tax receipts will NOT be issued for silent auction tickets or canteen purchases. CRA rules state that the purchase price of a lottery ticket or other “chance to win a prize”, even though the proceeds benefit a charity, do not qualify for charitable tax credits.

FACILITY RULES
The Dufferin Agricultural Society requests that the fairgrounds be left in the condition it was found. That means we will be requiring you to:
- Clean up after yourself! That means your garbage should go in the garbage and please pick up the manure and hay around your trailer and take it home.
- There will NOT be a dumping pile for manure.
- Barns will be available for use for stalling or overnight. Stalls MUST be cleaned up before you go. If I find that a contestant has not cleaned up after themselves, they will not be allowed to enter next year. If I find that the barns are a mess after this year, we will be imposing stalling fees in 2024. We would rather you simply clean up after yourselves and not have to charge a fee.
- All parking must be done in the designated parking area on the north side of the arena. Overflow parking by the barns will be allowed but you MUST be extra diligent to clean up around your spot.
- No parking or riding on the baseball diamonds.
Competition Rules
- Pattern is run in a cloverleaf, either to the left or right barrel first. Pattern will be set best suited to arena conditions.
- Pee wee pattern will be smaller than the regular competition pattern and based off the full pattern.
- Knocking a barrel is a “no time”.
- There is no penalty for losing your hat.
- Helmets are not required for any age but strongly encouraged for pee wee and youth riders.
- The event will have a closed gate. Contestants are permitted to run in.
- Circling in the arena to start your run is allowed. Please be reasonable with the amount of circles before starting your run and keep in mind, you MUST begin your run within 30 seconds of entering the arena or you will be rolled.
- The event will have an “in” gate and an “out” gate. All contestants MUST enter through the “in” gate and exit through the “out” gate. NO EXCEPTIONS!
- Contestants are asked to complete their run at competition calibre. All contestants must at least trot the pattern. Pee wee’s are permitted to walk around the barrels and are strongly encouraged to at least trot between the barrels to the best of the rider’s ability. Leadline is permitted but must trot the pattern.
- A contestant’s run will be disqualified for going off (breaking) pattern.
- A “leader” horse may not enter through the gate when helping a contestant get into the arena.
