Colorado Buckle Series

A horse/rider team must compete in at least 4 Colorado events to qualify for year-end awards.  If a horse/rider team competes in more than 4 events, only the best 4 events will be counted towards the year-end awards.

The high point horse/rider team will receive a custom belt buckle made by Mortenson Silver.  Other custom year end awards will be presented to the top 4 horse/rider teams in each division!

Now that's something to be riding for!!!
