Saturday 8:00 am to 11:00 am Clinician
– Mary Harrison
This is a group clinic with clinician Mary Harrison in which participants arrive with their horses and vehicles attired as if for showing. Your driving focus does not have to be in showing however, as all questions or situations regarding driving are welcome. There will be a general discussion of appropriateness and safety of each turnout with time allowed for adjustments, etc. If time allows there will be a practice class section as if driving in competition with a discussion of the experience. Depending on the number of drivers, the clinic may be split into different experience level sections. This is a valuable experience for the new driver as well as the experienced Driver. The pleasure driver and competition driver will both benefit from This clinic. ____________________________________________________________

Notice to all Competitors - A couple of changes to the prize list.
We have reduced the different classes this year. There are no longer separate classes for Drafts or Very Small Equines. Since everybody who comes has made the effort to get there and we appreciate that very much, classes can and will be added if there is a request.
Finally, we will have a table set up for sale items. Please have prices and your name clearly marked on each item. A detachable tag or sticker that we can put in an envelope would be helpful, since we do not always have time to write down which items were sold. If you have something that may require change, please bring some as we do not have a lot of “show change”. |
