Start Times for Spring Schooling Show

Hey Raynham Riders!

Fingers crossed for lovely weather Saturday.  It's looking dry enough to ride outdoors, hopefully the temp is a bit warmer than the current forecast!  Below are the details and ride times for the show. If you are missing from the list, don't panic, just send me an email and I'll add you in! 

I still need a volunteer to be the ring steward for dressage (sounds much harder than it is!).  If you are able to lend a hand for a few hours, please let me know!
See you Saturday!

Nikki

Show Details: 

Dressage

Monday, April 16th - Classes are running today

Hey Raynham Riders,

I still can't believe this nutty weather!! Thankfully the roads are just wet in our area and the driveway has been plowed so we will run classes today.  You CANNOT pass someone along the top of the driveway though, so if you pull in and someone is already coming up the hill, please wait at the entrance to the driveway.  As you are leaving, if someone is already coming in, wait in the flat area by the pond. 

If you cannot make it tonight because the conditions in your area are still bad, just let me know and we're happy to allow you to reschedule.

See you tonight,

Nikki
