Spring Schooling Show Start Times & Details!

Hey Raynham Riders,

Here are the start times for the weekend -  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D82BFDSKw6_zCji-MFwKtj0ecIvmP8SAMt9GKaU2XQE/edit?usp=sharing

 

A huge thanks to Rachel & Gabby for their help putting the times together!  It is not looking likely that we will be able to run the show outdoors with all the rain forecasted for Friday and Saturday so we have scheduled the times planning to run indoors.

 

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! Show students should ideally wear show apparel but if the weather is awful, just stay warm!

• 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 busy 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!

Spring Volunteer Day - Saturday, June 10th!

Saturday, June 10th

9:00am – 4:00pm

(You don’t have to stay all day, any help is appreciated)

BBQ, Prizes & Challenges!

Calling all Raynham boarders, lesson students, show students & their families! We’re always working to improve the facilities here at Raynham Stables to make it a better place to ride. Here’s your chance to be a part of it! 

Spring Volunteer day is back!  We haven't had an official volunteer day since 2019, before Covid!  As always, we have a ton of projects to tackle around the farm. There are so many things to do this year that we are planning a whole volunteer weekend! The volunteer days will run 9:00am - 4:00pm but you do not need to stay all day, any help is appreciated. We hope to see many Raynham riders out to lend a hand!  There will be jobs appropriate for younger students as well as parents (Dads - we're looking at you!).

Jobs include:

• Redo fencing in between back paddocks
• Fix wash stalls (pull out mats, level gravel, replace mats) 
• Clean/organize loft
• Staining/painting XC jumps
• Clean up gardens and re-plant
• Clean up branches (everywhere!!!)
• Clean up around the stadium ring
• Repair/replace electric fencing around the front paddocks
• Dig out corners around the dressage ring
• Rake and pick paddocks
• Cut down trees in paddocks, and around indoor and outdoor arenas
• Trim/weed eat around the fence lines
• Power wash stalls/ceiling in the barns
• Clean mirrors in arenas
• Clean windows in barns
• Tack inspection and conditioning 
• And there's always more!

We will be holding a raffle for prizes and FREE private lessons (jumping or dressage, your choice!) at the end of the day.  You get a ticket to put into the draw for each hour that you are here helping out! We will provide a BBQ lunch and refreshments throughout the day.

Thanks in advance for your support!

Nikki & your Raynham Team
