Other Information
Dogs are welcome at the farm, however we have a few rules:
1. Dogs must be registered at the show office with the secretary, and each pup will be given a small tag to attach to the collar with a number- this is to easily identify dogs found unattended/loose/harassing others.
2. All dogs MUST be leashed on a leash that is 8' or less and ATTACHED to a human at all times. This means no retractable leashes, please. Any loose dogs will incur a $100 fine for their owners. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave the farm with their dog(s).
3. Any dog that is found to be aggressive towards ANY human, canine or equine must be removed from the farm immediately. Absolutely no exceptions. We have dogs too, and we love them. We do ask that any dogs that are not friendly or selectively friendly are left at home for the weekend.
Plastic pinney holders will be used. Drinking water will be available at XC start, warmup arenas and in the barn.
