So what is the Saddle Sore and why bother joining up to the Competition? Well if you come in the top 3 places after the event is over for the year, you will receive a prize. And the winner receives not only a prize, but also a trophy to show off to their mates. It is not only available to the Riders, but also for Pillions, who have their own Competition, prizes and trophy.
