To create as much room in the warmup as possible we have set the rings closer together. Instead of going around the ring before your ride go into the ring as soon as the previous rider has done their final salute. To avoid confusion, be sure to tell
the scribe your number and name as you pass by. When the judge rings the bell you have the option of either turning and
coming down the centerline or going out and coming back in. When you have done your final salute turn and exit without
going all the way down to C before turning. I have heard only positive reviews about this system not only with the riders
but also the judges. Getting a horse inside the ring while another horse is still in there is a big plus for nervous horses!
Lunging is at the opposite end of the infield and is marked of with large orange cones.
Trailers owned by those stabled can park on the red clay track. Please don’t block the area in front of Barn 14. Unload and move your trailer as soon as possible to allow space for other trailers. There are empty stalls in the barns to help on the congestion.
Day parkers can park in the grassy area between barns 14 & 15, on the track in front of barns 16 & 17
and in the grassy area behind barns 6, 7&8.
The rings open for schooling on Friday and after the competition closes on Saturday until it gets too dark to see!
PLEASE remember to put your cell # on the stall card. At a prior show a horse got caught up in his hay net and there was no contact number on the stall. Luckily I was still on the grounds and managed to track down the owner.
Steve Hutzler is our night security person. 919-638-6602
