AGPR Riding & Driving Program
All persons who wish to enroll in the AGPR Horseback Riding/Driving Program must become an AGPR member for each year hours are to be accumulated and recorded. To enroll a Gaited Pony and/or individual in the Program, an application must be completed and returned to the AGPR Office along with the appropriate enrollment fee. No credit for hours spent riding or driving prior to enrollment will be given.
Once you enroll in this program you simply log the hours you spend riding/driving your American Gaited Pony. Any type of riding or driving can be recorded, whether it be on the trails, parades, training for and competing in shows, or ranch work, etc. On the "Honor System", each participant must maintain their own records on the Official AGPR Horseback Riding/Driving forms. To become eligible to recieve awards, all log sheets must be completed by the participant and postmarked no later than December 31st of the year hours are logged.
Sign up now and take advantage of this unique activity. If you're going to spend long hours in the saddle riding or in the seat driving anyway, why not earn some extra recognition for it? Enroll with your American Gaited Pony today and start "racking" up the hours. (Pun definitely intended!)
