FACILITY FACTS
Rest rooms on site. No vendors. Lunch/water provided for volunteers.

Stock pens available for approximately 20 horses to overnight on Friday and Saturday. No guarantee of day use only pens available. Cost per night is $5 per pen. No covers on pens.
​
RV Overnighting on site is available at no charge. Dry camping only.
​
Junior Driver Information: 10 and under drivers must have a knowledgeable adult horseman in the cart with them at all times, on the grounds and in the rings.
​
11-13 year olds must also have a knowledgeable adult horseman in the cart with them at all times, on the grounds and in the rings.
There is no exception at this venue for single VSE with a capable driver in dressage and cones, as those rings are not fenced in.
​
For 14-18 year olds, the requirement for an adult horseman in the cart is at the organizer‘s discretion, and will be decided on an
individual basis after consulting with the parent or trainer of the entry and knowledge of the equine. Juniors this age need to ask at
the competition (see TD) if they require an adult with them.
​
Note: Single VSE and Small Ponies do not require a navigator in obstacles (hazards), but this may not apply to all junior drivers over
13 (Organizer’s discretion). Ask the TD at the event to see if your over 13 Jr. driving a VSE needs a navigator.

Just some reminders about downloads/printing copies. The browser you use, and the device, affects how files appear and the quality. With some, when you click on the file link, only a screen view will appear, which may not be the best quality. Better quality results from actually downloading the file to your computer before printing. Again, the browser may determine how you get the file to your computer. Some have a small window with a download icon that will appear if you hover over the bottom of the screen view with your cursor. Others require going to the FILE menu at the top of your computer screen and using the "export as pdf" under that drop down menu. Some browsers may download the file to your computer just by clicking on the file and to view the file you will have to open it on your computer. This requires knowing the destination of your downloads on your computer, which can usually be set through your browser's preferences.
