Schooling Show Start Times & Details

  Hey Raynham Riders,

 

Here are the start times for the weekend -  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EpzcsYZyTg_-keQlH7E6zXAenLLts4ianHQC24CaRV8/edit?usp=sharing 

 

A huge thanks to Rachel & Gabby for their help putting the times together!  We are still hoping we will be able to run the show outdoors (with the warm-ups in the indoors), but it will be weather dependent.  

 

Here are all the details for Saturday!

• Arrival & Check-In:  When you arrive, please head to the camp trailer to check in with the secretary. Riders should plan to arrive early enough to give their horse a thorough grooming and be ready to mount at least 15 min prior to the start of your flat class.

• Payment: E-transfer OR you can give cash or cheque to the secretary on the morning of the show

• Attire:  Just dress neatly and appropriately for the weather! 

• Spectators:  Are welcome!  

• Parking: Please part efficiently in the parking lot. Once the parking lot is full, please park alongside the driveway, being careful not to block gates or paths to paddocks.

• Dogs: Please don't bring dogs Saturday, it will be hectic enough as is!

• Tack & Apparel Sale: We will be having a tack/apparel sale as a fundraiser! Cash only. 

• Food: We will have food available for purchase - coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water pop, muffins, cookies, chips, chili (veggie & beef), hotdogs, chili dogs, and WALKING TACOS - YUM! Concessions will be CASH only.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!  We are looking forward to a fun show on Saturday!
