August 24th: Cross Country Schooling Show
We flag a full cross country course - start box to finish flags - with appropriate questions,
including ditches, banks and water. Elementary through Training - winners complete the course
closest to optimum time. All divisions will be offered throughout the day, so multi-leveled groups
can come and go together. We post your speed on the website, and send your ribbon in the mail.
Feel free to enter two levels or share a horse. If you had so much fun (or a lousy run) you can
add a second trip if time allows. At lower levels you can even take your trainer on course. You
can also run your course as a pair. One horse leads, the other follows, great for green horses
and riders. A training course with some Prelim jumps and questions is offered if entries warrant.
- $50 per rider
- $25 for a second unpinned run at same level
- $30 per rider in a pair
