We have had some questions about the show,
First trade/second hand gear stands, just pay the 1 m square, but we will give you what ever space you need
We are adding a couple of classes to lead rein and first ridden ring as this ring did not offer the kids as many classes, sorry that was an oversight, they will now have a unity class each
Novice classes are for those who have not won 6 firsts in open classes at A&P level, height certificates are not required for this show, and you can any height in the lead rein first ridden classes, for the barrel racing and cowboy challenge riders can be on the lead but not for the derby.
If you have any more questions get in contact with our secretary via email or myself via PM Vanessa Baxter.
