DidYou Know A horse can use twice the oxygen per kilogram of body weight of any human athlete. This is called maximal oxygen consumption (O2max). This means that for each kilogram that a horse weighs, that mass can consume two times the oxygen during maximal exercises before it fatigues, making horses able to push longer and harder.

Rule of the Month The Walk-up Replacement Policy has shown to be a very helpful tool for WPRA athletes so far this season. Remember that a contestant must be eligible when utilizing a walk-up replacement. If a contestant is ineligible, they will be removed from the results, any money won will be redistributed and a fine will be assessed. Refer to rule 9.3.21. in the WPRA Rulebook.
