Horses may begin occupying stalls and using the arena on Wednesday at 8:00 A.M. and must vacate the property by 11:00 A.M. on Sunday. Should you need to arrive earlier or stay longer please contact Pam so that arrangements can be made. Understand that there could be an additional charge for using the stabling outside of our contracted times.

Anyone who wishes to attend with a horse and not have a stall must pay a $30 day fee. These horses may use the wash stalls for a bath but cannot be left tied in the wash stalls or on stall fronts.

Mare and Young Horse Show, November 5, 2009 - 8:00 A.M.

The in hand classes will be the same as previous years with the mares judged as breeding animals and the horses 3 years old and under being judged on their suitablilty as sporthorses. There will be judges sheets similar to those at recognized Dressage Sportbreeding shows.

We will also have a dressage suitability undersaddle class provided we have interest. Please contact Dianne or Pam to let them know if you have a horse you would like to show undersaddle in this type of class. This class is open to 3 year old and older horses. The class will be split into age groups of 3 & 4 year olds and 5 year olds and over if there are 3 or more entries in both age groups. Class will be judged at the walk, trot and canter. Older horses may be asked to do lengthings at the trot and canter.
