Schooling days provide an opportunity to school in a relaxed environment, using the Dressage arena, Stadium Arena and over the same Cross-Country course as will be used for Sunday’s unrecognized Horse Trial.
Schooling Days are open to everyone regardless of if they are entered in Sunday’s Horse Trial or not.
The stadium course for Sunday’s Horse Trial will use the same jumps, but will be a different course.
Online pre-registration is required. Please register using this link. Registrations must be received by midnight on Wednesday. Payment is required at the time of entry. If space allows day of registrations will be accepted with an additional $20 fee. There will be no refunds for schooling days unless this event is cancelled by Valinor Farm in which case your fee will be refunded less a $10 office fee.
Dressage Schooling: Starts at 9:00. 15 minute time slots. Riders may return for multiple slots if time allows. Specific times may be requested when registering or check availability with the ring Steward.
Stadium Schooling : Will start with lower heights in the morning. Please adhere to 5 minute time slots. Riders may return for multiple slots if time allows. Trainers with groups can request time slots for Dressage and Stadium which we will attempt to accommodate. You are welcome to adjust the heights as you wish.
X-Cty schooling: Jumps will be flagged and numbered. Riders must have a Cross-Country vest and a coach or ground person. No lone riders. No motorized vehicles are permitted.
