GUIDELINES GUIDELINES TO BE A FLAG CARRIER FOR THE SSCDT You must be a member in good standing with the Scottsdale Saddle Club. Your horse must be bathed and clipped before the performance. Clipping areas are: muzzle, throat latch area, chin, eyes ( not the actual lashes, just the really long ones above and below the eyeball ), bridle path, feathers behind the pastern, the coronet band ( the hair that meets the hoof, no hair past the hoofline ), and the hair under the length of the head of the horse. If there is ever a debate about a rule, or a need to modify a rule, it will be done only by the captain and co-captain. All decisions made by captain and co-captain are final. Some may think the decision not fair, but there is an entire team of opinions, so we try to make it as fair as possible. REQUIRED SSC DRILL TEAM UNIFORM Black boot cut jeans. Boots.
