Spring Schooling Show Start Times!

 Hey Raynham Riders!

A huge thanks to Gabby for all her work putting the start times together. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bNFuuPOn8cWHuf2x5ehK5bi8kKm-zmNlu_Zpm_Z6w6M/edit?usp=sharing 

For the combined test divisions, riders should be in the warm-up 20 minutes prior to your dressage time, and 10 minutes before show jumping (since your horse will already be warmed up from dressage). For the equitation divisions (Grasshopper & Smurf), there are warm-up times included in the start times.

Here's everything you need to know:

  • The SHOW OFFICE will be in the house office around the back of the farmhouse (by the chicken coop)
  • Payment: Cash or cheque to the secretary on the morning of the show, or e-transfer.
  • Attire: Show Team Riders should *ideally* dress/prepare their horse as if it were a regular off-property show (full show attire & braid). New show riders may not have all their show gear yet - that's totally fine, just dress neatly!
  • Spectators: Are more than welcome, but please stay out of the barns and tack-up area - it will be busy enough without extra bodies!
  • Dogs: As much as we love dogs, please leave them at home as it will be busy!
  • Food: We will have food available for purchase - coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water, pop, muffins, cookies, chips, chilli, hot dogs, and walking taco for lunch! 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!
