📣 A Few EQuest Updates Before Sign-Ups Open! 🤠

As we get ready to use eQuest for our KJRA rodeo entries, here are a few things we want everyone to know ahead of time:

1️⃣ More Than One Contestant?
If you have more than one contestant competing, each contestant will need their own eQuest account/username. You can go ahead and create those separate accounts NOW so you're ready when sign-ups open! Below is the link to create your contestant an account.

https://mms.equestevent.com/

2️⃣ DAY PASS Contestants
If you are planning to day pass for one day OR the entire weekend, you will select “KJRA Daypass – One Day or Weekend” under the Add-Ons section when registering.

3️⃣ Already Have an eQuest Account?
If your child already has an eQuest account from KY Jr. High Rodeo, please use that same login information. There is no need to create a new account!

4️⃣ 3% Processing Fee
Please be aware that eQuest charges a 3% fee at checkout. At this time, that fee will still be charged even if you select “Pay at the Rodeo” you'll still have to checkout online to pay the 3% fee.

🐴 We know a new system comes with a little bit of a learning curve, and we appreciate everyone's patience as we get started! Our hope is that once we all get familiar with eQuest, it will make rodeo sign-ups easier for everyone.

Sign-ups for Rodeos #1 & #2 open TODAY at 6:00 PM! 🎉🤠

Thank you for taking the time to inform us of your issue. We ask that you simply fill out the following questions to help us resolve your issue.
