UPDATED 9 am on 7/15 - - Friday's order of go attached below

FRIDAY's arabian/part arabian sport horse show will start at 1:00 pm. The classes will run in numerical order, with all the in hand being first. After in hand is complete, there will be a 20 minute break, and then the riding classes will start. There are 22 entries in the in hand division, so we anticipate the riding will start at *about* 3:00 pm (this is an approximate time, classes will run in order). The show is double judged, so 2 judges judge each class the entire time. THE ORDER OF GO IS ATTACHED AS A DOC BELOW FOR YOUR USE *** During the arabian riding classes, there will be a show ring and a warm up ring. Riders from the weekend show may also be in the warm up ring area and ride. The dressage arena will be set up immediately after the group classes are complete; we respectfully ask that if you can spare 20 or 30 minutes to help us set up the ring, please do come help. We'll announce in the barn when we need help to do this. Thank you in advance, its very much appreciated!

SATURDAY & SUNDAY's show schedules are being completed now... due to several riders on multiple horses, we are trying to accomodate this, and accomodate late entries, and some entry changes. The show will start at 7:00 a.m. both days! It appears the Sunday show will be done by 4:00 pm, but the Saturday show will be a longer day, getting over around 7:00 pm (again, we have late entries coming in yet today, so we are working to finalize this). We will continue to update you as we finish things tonight and Thursday morning.

The CLINIC will have a lecture on Monday and Tuesday mornings at the Crossroads restruarant, social at 7:30 a.m. and lecture at 8:00 am until 11:00 a.m. and lessons after this. Auditors very welcome to attend, please see flyer for all details!

Our thanks, in advance, to all for the many hours of volunteer time that go into funding, organizing, and running the weekend of shows... Enjoy your trips down the center line, and around the triangle!
