Rider Rating Chart
revised and effective 9-1-09

GENERAL.  The RHR rating system evaluates the capability of riders with respect to the Rider “Start” and “On Course” capabilities required for competition in gymkhana match racing.  Riders may use the “Start” and “On Course” Rating Levels to great advantage in evaluating their progress and in determining the relative effectiveness of various training methods being used for given rider/mount combinations.   The objective for each rider/mount combination is to improve their “Start” and “On Course” capabilities so that their overall “Match Race” capability will be improved.

Rider Start times obtained during Round#1 competition are evaluated to determine each riders Rating Level. A Start Rating Level time is earned by a rider when his/her Start time for a given event falls within the range of times specified in one of the 5 Rating Levels given in the chart below.
