 The Racking Horse is one of the smoothest rides of any breed whether in the show ring or on the trail, and the Pleasure Association has began a nationwide program for our trail pleasure racking horses.  You must be a member of the Racking Horse Breeders Association, own a registered Racking Horse, and be a member of the Pleasure Association to participate.

"Rack Across America" Rules

1. Horse must be registered with the RHBAA.  Hours go with the horse.

2.  Rider must be a current member of the RHBAA as well as a current member of the Pleasure Association.  Hours can only be logged while your memberships are current.  A rider does not need to own the horse to count the hours, but must have current memberships.

3.  Hours logged must be forward moving hours (i.e. time spent visiting, sitting, picnicking will not count)

4.  Activities that do not count would be: ride time at a recognized show, competitive trail or endurance ride, spectator equine event.  These are covered under the Versatility Program for RHBAA and should be included as points for those categories.

5.  All hours must be logged in the Rack Across America program log.  Round your time to the nearest hour.

6.  Upon completion of 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 hours, the rider should send the travel log to the designated RHBAA representative listed below.  Your patch, halos and final bars will be awarded at the next annual Winter Meetings awards ceremony.  If the rider cannot attend, then the awards will be mailed after the ceremony.

7. Awards are as follows:
50 hours B initial RAA crescent patch/certificate 100 hours B 1st bar/ certificate

 250 hours B 2nd bar/ certificate
