Our July 12th Open Horse Show is going to be a fun one, folks!!
The overall theme of the show will be Happy 250th Birthday, America:) We encourage you to wear any combination of Red, White and Blue to show your patriotic spirit.
1. The specialty award for the day will be a 'Spirit Award'
2. The Fun Class will be a Red, White, and Blue WTJ class that will run immediately following lunch. We will award an overall performance prize to the 1st place winner of the class, but will also give out awards for:
1. The Best Uncle Sam
2. Most Original/Creative
3. A Random Award to be determined based on what we see the day of the show. For example, last year we gave out 'the most sparkly award!'
We hope you have fun dressing up for this class but all you need to enter is to be wearing something that is red, white or blue. That can be on you or your horse! Note - For safety purposes, we do ask that whatever you decide to wear does not spook or scare other riders. For example, carrying a flag or balloons.
3. The Specialty class will be a WTC Ba****ck Equitation Class that will run after class #23. This class will be for 3 gait riders only and will be open to English or Western riders. English riders will be expected to post the trot and there will be no chaps allowed for western riders:). We will have a signup sheet in the office for anyone who is interested in entering this class and we will enter you the day of the show. Cost is $7 for members and $10 for non-members. This class will be covered in the all-day rate, when it applies.
4. We will be holding a Saddle Pad Extravaganza Raffle at the July show too!! There will be a total of 4 saddle pads to choose from AND we will draw at least 3 winners from the raffle!! The first person drawn will get the first choice of which pad they want, and so on. Tickets will be $1.00 per ticket or $20 for 25 tickets.
**If you PRE_ENTER before the show you will earn a free ticket. Be sure to mention this when you stop into the office the morning of the show in order to get your ticket.
5. Our Entry Appreciation raffle for this show will be for a bag of shavings! All those who enter and ride at the show earn one free ticket, while pre-entries earn two free tickets. **We already have 5 pre-entries, which is very cool!**
6. Of course, you can look forward to our day end grand and reserve championships and our overall high point awards! As well as 2 random draw awards to be given out throughout the day:)
We hope all of this FUN news generates your excitement, and you will join us on July 12th! We can't wait to see you at the show.
Let's horse show!
