About Us
Crocus Cow Horse Association
The Crocus Cow Horse Association was formed in 2005 to promote cow horse sports in Manitoba.
The Crocus Cow Horse Association currently offers 3 core events: Reining, Herd work ( Ranch Cutting), and Cow work/ Ltd cow work (Working Cow horse). Extra events may be offered at a show but will not be included in Versatility scores or Year-End placings. The Versatility score is the cumulative sum of the 3 core events.
Membership runs from January 1- December 31 of the calendar year. Fees must be paid prior to or at the first show the exhibitor enters. Manitoba Horse Council or other Equestrian Canada recognized insurance is mandatory.
Entries are due by midnight the Tuesday before the show.
Late Entries: A late fee of $25 will be charged on late entries.
Scratched Entries: Once a competitor has made a show entry, they are responsible for the cattle charge, whether they show or not. This charge is to be paid before they can compete again.
Entry fees can be sent via e-transfer to: crocuscowhorse@gmail.com
