===================================

There will be a limit of 24 persons per day for this unique event. This event will never be repeated. Manuel is booked a season in advance and I doubt that we’ll be able to schedule another session.
Don’t miss this opportunity to put your riding group to the test! Be selfish…remember, these riding partners may be your rescuers someday…. Doesn’t it make sense to learn and test their life saving techniques?

BASIC AGENDA FOR EACH DAY
Feb 25 & Feb 28 will be run as a separate events. Riders may enter as singles or groups, but will be arranged in Teams of 3 or 4.

For the morning exercises all riders will be divided into 3 or 4 groups and each Group will be assigned a Zac’s instructor.
The focus will be on both equipment skills and teamwork. Advanced rescue strategies will be taught and drilled.

Competition will begin in the afternoon.

The Groups will complete a series of rescue scenarios. Each Group will be scored on time and technique and the scores will be added together. The Group with the best total score will move to the semi-finals.

The semi-finals will pit Teams of 3 or 4 against one another to be scored on time and technique. The Team with the best overall score will be declared the winners.

Teams are encouraged to bring banners, dress alike, or in some way highlight their Team. Interviews, video and photos will be taken throughout the day for news footage. Articles will be submitted to news organizations to highlight this proactive, fun and safety oriented event.
