Spring Hunter Pace - Pre entry Times

 Sorry this is so late but the jumper show ran long and I had a lot of work to do on the course and I just now got done scheduling those who pre-entered on-line.  If you talked to me or sent me an e-mail I may have very well forgotten you so you'll have to enter the old fashioned way ... when you arrive.  My alopogies but I am suffering from CRS Syndrome (Can't Remember Sh&T)

Anyway here's what I got trying to accommodate those who requested early times.

It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day for a Hunter Pace on Mon.  It's hard to imagine that while we're enjoying the farm and our horses so many have lost everything including their horses to the recent tornadoes in OK.  Since Mon is Memorial day, in addition to remembering the men and women who have sacrificed for our country, will be running the Spring Hunter Pace in memory of all who lost so much during the .  Stone Gate Farm is pledging 10% from every entry to be sent to fellow Eventers at Plain as Day Eventing whose farm was destroyed including all of their horses.   Click here to read more.

Scroll down to will find a course map. I hope to post tentative times for those who pre-entered on-line.  There is still time to enter on-line and request an approximate ride time and simple arrive on Mon and sign a release form, pay your entry fees and pick up your number.  Here's the link to the on-line registration.

Just a quick reminder that we will be having a Jumper Show & Derby on Sun that you may be interested in.  Click here  for more information.  We will not be putting the show jumps away after the show and we request that there be NO schooling of the show jumps.  Thank you.

Hope to see you on Mon.

We are going to try to leave the drive open during dressage (we have done this for a year now and it works quite well if people are considerate) as a convenience to competitors and to keep horses off the cross country course as much as possible.  However we have a few requests:
    • if there is a horse doing their test in Ring 2 (closest to the drive) please wait until their test is completed before going down the drive
    • it is requested that people get to and from the warm up through the pasture/cross country course especially if you have a dog or child in tow ;)

    • All stalls have gates but some of the stall gates may be a little difficult use, but if you lift them up in the center they are much easier to handle.
