Stall Maps
The Labor Day Show is full and we have a great turnout
for the Adult & Junior Team Championships. If you have any
questions please don't hesitate to contact us at 316-775-5512 or Tim's
(Show Manager's) Cell at 316-640-7047. Unless you are stabled in
the main barn, all horse trailers show go up the hill. All
trailers will be parked up on top of the hill.
Some entries still need copies of membership
forms and coggins. Please bring that documentation with you.
There will be a party for the Team Championship competitors
on Sunday night. The meeting that night is mandatory as a detailed
explanation of the procedures on Monday will be explained then and the
teams will be introduced.
This year's Calendar is posted. We still have some judges to confirm
but the dates are now set. Click here to view the
Calendar. Please check out the "Slide
Show" for photos of some really great shows.
PHOTOS FROM THE SHOWS WILL BE POSTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE SHOW.
NEWS & INFO FOR BFF DRESSAGE SHOWS. Dateline:

Packets available at (perhaps earlier) 3pm on Friday until 7pm
and again on Saturday at 7am...that's only 30 minutes before show

front of you has an incomplete entry. If you don't have your USEF
current card copies...USEF has us collect $20 from you for each and every

show the secretary your USEF real life card BEFORE getting your
packet; otherwise the USEF has us collect $20 for each rider, trainer &
owner listed on your entry form. PENDING MEMBERSHIP???? To
avoid delays: USDF/USEF Verification Search
New joint Membership Verification System. This
site simplifies the process for our competitors to search for, verify &
print membership info for horses, owners & riders for entry purposes. No
more photocopying membership cards! At www.eqverification.org you can
print all your cards on one sheet of paper.
The Time Schedule &
stall chart for the Show will be posted before show!
All JUMPOUT
PARKING will be located on top of the hill. For the safety of all
horses and riders and to prevent possible interruption/distraction of a
competition ride;no vehicles will be permitted on the road in front
(south) of the main barn. We hope to have a great show...pray for good weather!
The show's schedule will be posted and you can find you ride times posted on
this page. The schedule on Saturday is pretty tight so we
need to ask for your cooperation and assistance.
Please cooperate with the gatekeeper and be ready to ride at your
scheduled time. The gate will call you up to a “holding area” when
the rider in front of you is half way through their test. You will have
a quick briefing and then be asked to trot around the outside of the
arena immediately after the last salute by the rider just in front of
your ride. If you plan to
scratch a ride for any reason, please let the gatekeeper or the
secretary know as soon as you make that decision.
The Stall Chart will be posted about 3 days before the show!
You can locate your stall before arrival on the
“stabling
chart”. All competitors are stabled in the permanent show stalls
according to their date of entering; early bird gets the best stalls. Please go directly up the hill upon entering the farm.
There will be a stabling sign posted pointing to your left just
as you enter the farm. Please pull your rig up ahead and even with the stalls so
that any arriving trailers have room to unload as well. After you have unloaded your horse and equipment, we ask
that you park your trailer on the north side of the road and back
against the fence. Tim Griest will
be there to help organize the parking. Please
park close together as well. That
will allow plenty of room for all trailers to be conveniently located
and will facilitate easy hookup and departure on Sunday.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Food and Concessions
Catering will be providing the breakfast & lunch concessions on both
Saturday and Sunday. For dinner, in Augusta we have three restaurants and all the
numerous fast food places (Pizza Hut, Subway, Taco Tico, Col. Sanders,
Hardies, McDonalds, etc). The
Italian restaurant does serve alcoholic beverages, the family diner has
fabulous homemade pies and the oriental restaurant has great Chinese
food. In Augusta, you
probably won’t have to wait to be seated. In Andover (5 miles west of
the farm), there is an Applebees and a great local Mexican
restaurant. Both
of these restaurants serve alcoholic beverages.
You might have to wait to be seated in Andover (usually about
15-30 minutes). All of these restaurants (and the fast food places) are
convenient and located on US 54 Kellogg within minutes of the farm.
Packets and Official Info
The secretary’s stand will open approximately 3pm (perhaps earlier) and the packets
will be ready for you then. The
secretary’s stand is located by the Griest's home. Scores will be posted at the secretary’s stand.
If you have any questions or need assistance in any way, please
contact the secretary for help.
Schooling
The competition arena is set up and open for schooling all day
Friday until 9pm. The indoor arena will be open for schooling all day
about 10pm on Friday.
Lunging will be permitted only in the indoor arena.
Please do not lunge if several other riders are warming up in the
indoor. You are welcome to
ride around our cross country (apprx. 100 acres) but you are not allowed
to jump any cross country fences without prior arrangements.
If you have any special needs for schooling, please consult the
secretary for help.
Results on the Internet

records of your scores and
those of your fellow competitors. You
won’t have to jot down scores on your program, you can just print a
copy from our web site on Monday after the show. |
