Failure to follow these rules will result in disqualification. The winning combination consists of the participant and burro team to cross the finish line. The participant may be leading or following the burro. The burro's nose crossing the finish line first constitutes the winner.  *Rules borrowed from the Western Pack Burro Ass-ociation
