Managers meeting notes
Thanks again to volunteers for yesterday
Riders be mindful that if you are sitting watching, hop off your horses and give their backs a break.
Arena 1 is Cambridge sand and arena 2 is now land corp for showjumping.
Showhunter arena 1 closest to landcrip, arena 2 closest to covered yards and arena 3 is same as arena 3 for yesterday
Stewards can't answer questions re bits and gear.
Showhunter - No bell, no jump numbers, no flags, leave Arena at a walk. Learn plan off the gate. No walking courses.
Same course for every ring. Riders going to arena 1 and 2, showhunter go around back of sj courses down CTR finish line and into arenas from dressage end.
Call which jump you are wanting in the practice arena - makes it safer. Pass left to left in the warm up arena.

From Manager meeting:
Massive thanks to all the volunteers yesterday. Fabulous job and much appreciated.
Arena eventing was delayed yesterday, because there were horse tracks through the combinations and the course designer had to change the course. 🤬
570 burgers were served in 1.5 hrs. Please thank Dunstan and Taupo Equestrian Supplies who sponsored rider meals.
Nobody should be on the x- country at all now, not even walking.
Showjumping today - courses open for walking now Back numbers must be worn. No time for course walks between classes.
200 riders through each ring so please be there early, and don't muck about if you have a jump off. Retire if you are having issues.
Ring 2 A2 is a one round event, timed. Fastest clear time wins - Cambridge sand arena
Ring 1 A5 instant jump off. You will hear a bell if you are clear and that will send you to the jump off
Ring 3 is yesterdays dressage warm up.
Practice fences are up to 10 cm higher than in the ring. Riders shout vertical or oxer on approach to practice fences.
Thank judges by saluting as you leave the ring - this is etiquette.
Start and finish times are approximate. Events can only start 15 mins early.
