LOCATION/PARKING

Please park close to your neighbor trailer – but stay safe. We will be keeping the lower paddock clear for warmup again (like last month)

SHOW SPONSOR
Thanks to Scotts Valley Feed for once again being our Show Sponsor! Please mention to them that you ride with us and appreciate their support year and after!

COSTUME PARADE
Come in costume! Costume parade at 9am sharp! – fun goodies for participants (You can wear your costume during the day, but you must be in CGA attire underneath.)

Also – we’ll be having our annual Trailer-Treating. Bring some goodies for horses and kids who visit your trailer.

TACK SWAP
Clear out that tack room for winter! Bring your tack for sale or trade! Put it out in front of your truck/trailer with your candy and our “trailer-treaters” will see everything

START TIME
Warm up will be available in the arena before Costume Parade for trot/canter warmup from 8am-9am and again after the parade for 15 minutes.
If you are done warming up (trotting/cantering), please exit the arena. If you want to continue to walk, please use the lower paddock. The reason for this is that we want to keep our arena from getting too packed down for the show. Thanks for your cooperation.
We will start running events 15 minutes after the Costume parade.

SNACK SHACK
Once again, Dreamor Ranch will be providing food this month. Thanks so much!

There will be trenching this Friday at the ranch and a possible disconnection of power. We need to have a backup generator in case there is no electricity out at the arena. If you have a portable generator capable of running the sound system and a couple crock pots for the snack shack, please let me know asap! (crills@cruzers.com or 338-9831)

ALL HORSES TO WARM UP IN ARENA –WARM UP ENDS AT 9AM
HORSES TO STAY IN PASTURE AREA –
There is a lot of work being done on the ranch and the round pen is gone with new stalls in its place. All warm up will be done in the large arena ending at exactly 9am. Be sure to be there early for warm up as – there is NO other place to warm up after events start. All horses must remain in the pasture area. Do not take your horses beyond the pasture gates as there may be open trenches, construction, etc.
