Bridle Up Hope - Las Cruces is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and an Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) program that combines the healing power of horses with the proven principles of The 7 Habits® to create life-changing experiences for girls and women. Our mission is to inspire hope, confidence, and resilience through horses and habits, helping each student grow emotionally, socially, and personally.

Bridle Up Hope is designed to provide a transformational experience for girls and women at a time when life has never been harder on them. They face relentless pressure to live up to impossible expectations—to have the perfect body, be skinny, be pretty, be popular, get perfect grades, be athletic, and so forth—which often leads to low self-worth, anxiety, depression, and related challenges.

We will be using a RFID chip timing system with camera backup (ask us how to purchase a photo of your finish) to capture your race time. All participants will be assigned a bib number with RFID chip attached to the back. For us to properly time your race, our staff and video camera need to be able to read your bib number as you cross the finish line. Race bibs must be worn on the outside of your clothing on the front of your jersey/shirt (as shown in the picture to the left). Please do not crimple or fold the bib as this will damage the RFID chip. If you do not wear the bib as requested, your chip may not be read properly, and no time will be recorded in the results.

You may keep both your bib and chip following the race. It does not need to be returned.

DID YOU KNOW? Timing systems have a very difficult job. They must read hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of timing chips as they cross a start, split, or finish line. This can be especially challenging in wet or harsh conditions. All our systems operate at an ultra-high frequency and therefore are less susceptible to interference, but not impossible. Each of our chips contains a tiny microprocessor and transmitter, as well as two antennas. The antennas send the chip number to the receiving antennas connected to the timing system. The chips have no internal battery. So how do they transmit a signal? When the chip comes within range of an antenna, it receives a wake-up signal from the timing system. That signal is strong enough that the chip can harness the energy within the signal to power itself on for less than a tenth of a second. During that short time, the chip transmits its number to the antenna. In fact, the chip may do this several times. Proper placement of the chip is extremely important. For running events, the chip is placed horizontally on the back of the bib. For best results, the bib should be pinned on the chest with safety pins using the top two holes

Disqualifying participants for using someone else's bib. Any participant who runs under someone else’s bib will be disqualified and will not be scored. For the safety of our runners and in case of a medical emergency, the registration data associated with the race number must belong to the person wearing the bib. If race organisers become aware that a runner has participated in one of our events with a bib that is not registered to that runner, both the runner and the person to whom the bib is registered will be prohibited from participating in subsequent Plant a Seed events for a minimum of two years.
