Entry form, prize list, class list, map and poster are shown below!
Some important points about our show:
1. Each rider/horse combination is limited to THREE pre-paid rides. The show will be capped at 64 paid rides. We encourage everyone to get their entries in early with check included. No one will be scheduled until their entry is paid in full. Thank you!
2. UPDATE:Western Dressage Equitation classes are performed in a distinct pattern as per WDAA rules. The WALK JOG Equitation Pattern will be PATTERN “B”. The WALK JOG LOPE Equitation Pattern will be PATTERN “A”. They are shown in the attachments below. (This is an update from the earlier post)

3. Your number/numerical identification represents an exact rider and horse combination and is the same for all disciplines you ride in, in the Twin Tiers Classic Series: Dressage, Games, English, Ranch, Western, etc. It can either be displayed as a “Back” number on your back or saddle pad or as a small oval for your halter or saddle. You use the same numerical sequence for ALL of the Twin Tiers series shows. If this is your first show with us, you would pick up your number cardboard at the Main office attached to this indoor.
4. We try to have juniors and adult divisions for classes as numbers allow. We reserve the right to combine divisions based on class entries.
