Event Format

Team

Parking

Please park trailers around the perimeter of the sand ring with space for other vehicles and trailers to get around. Vehicles without trailers can park by the barn and along the driveway on the grass. Please do not park between the barn and the sand ring.

Lunch

Lunch will be bring your own. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own beverages and snacks.

Volunteering

All riders are required to identify one volunteer arena crew member in charge of set-up for their lane's equipment while they are riding. Additional Assistant Referees and Prop Crew volunteers are needed and appreciated throughout the day. The goal is to have each volunteer assist with at least one full division. This makes the day run as smoothly as possible.

Important Reminder

It is important that each rider, spectator, and supporter respects the competition property.

Throughout the day and before you depart, please ensure that you have cleaned up after your horse, placed garbage in garbage cans, and that your trailer area is free of any hay, manure, or other debris.
