Contestants

We want everyone to feel comfortable showing their animals. We are happy you have come. We will work hard to support and help you in anyway. It is a show to allow people who have always wanted to compete, but never have, to give it a go! It is for all the Show people tired of the rules to come back and ride with a smile. It is for our youth who truly are the future, to spend time with their family and animals and begin the love of riding.

Bobbi, Barney and all the Coyote Mule “hands” ride and show their mules throughout the country. We, as the show management, will do our best to help and answer any and all questions you may have for this competition. Please do not hesitate to call on us.

So Let’s Rumble!

July 18 through 20th there are 110 classes for people of all ages!
Western and English performance, driving, halter, fast classes, games for kids and trail classes.  Everything you need to get started can be found in the 2013 Contestant Information Book, which gives you the list and description of classes, general rules for contestants, dates and scheduling, how to bring your animals to the fair grounds and news about the New Professional Equine Workshops the week before the Main Show.  The Contestant Information Book also has directions, contact information, camping facilities, stall requirements and everything you might need to know to come to Dayton!

New this year….. the Overall Highpoint Categories will be separated into Performance Mule and Fun Mule, per division.  Take a look at the Contestant Registration Entry forms for qualifying classes.  New this year, divisions of Adult, Jack Benny, & Tenderfoot will now be Amateur Only, no Professionals will be allowed in these divisions.  We want to provide a positive fair competition to the majority of our contestants.  So for any professionals who want to come,  we will have three Open Jackpot classes they can enter.

New Driving Classes have been added: Matched Pairs, Log Skidding, Feed Team Race, Saturday Social, and Blindfold Harness will all be used to Award the Overall Highpoint Team.
