The purpose of this schooling event is to prep horses by riding fences at a pace with timing. Steeple chase fences will be placed in a circle around the existing course. Riders will declare which class they wish to compete. Riders make a first round to school the course, presenting each fence to the horse. The second round will be timed and calculated so on finishing you will know how fast you navigated the distance and at what time. This will help with planning your pace when competing over cross-country courses. THIS IS NOT A RACE.

The Classes and Optimal Timing

1. 1.5 miles/3 Laps @450 mpm = Canter- Gallop
2. 1 mile/2 laps @400 mpm= Brisk Canter
3. ½ mile/ 1 lap @ 300-350 mpm=trot to slow canter (with Fences)-
4. Non Jumping 1 lap @300-350 mpm= trot to slow canter-

Plan to arrive and enter by declaring which class you wish to compete in. Then tack up your horse and execute your round, get your time and go home. We send your ribbons (unless you want to wait). Or plan to stay and tailgate with us.

Trophy and Six Ribbons to those closest to the optimal time in each division

Liability Waivers will be required
