This year, we will have Open classes on Saturday and Championships on Sunday. There will be a code for Members to use to enter the Championship classes, and priority for Saturday classes will go to Members first.

To see full information on either show, please check our Calendar. If you have any questions, please email Show Management.

Entries will be processed the same way and follow all the same rules as our Schooling Shows with the following exceptions.

Entries:
Priority Entry will go to Championship riders and warm-up classes that have complete entries by the close date.
Member Entries will fill after Priority Entries.
Non-Member Entries will fill after Members.
This is a one ring show, in the indoor arena, and may be limited to due time.
