Pine Top Footing and Course Update
Pine Top is preparing for two big events in February, and is pleased to report that recent rains have created excellent footing. In addition, fall rains produced good permanent grass coverage on the new earthwork features that were completed in the midst of a very dry summer.
There is a new hollow, a large new mound, a new water jump, and two new coffins. There are also some big new table jumps and new cabin jumps, and several older jumps have been rehabbed.
In the upper stabling area, fencing has been relocated to provide more trailer parking space and 8 new hookups have been installed there, plus the big show jumping ring has been expanded to 5600 square meters.
The Feb. 10-12 Intermediate event will run 70-80 Intermediate horses, and the Feb. 24-26 Advanced event will run 50-60 Advanced horses. John Williams is the course designer.
Entries are still being accepted for the Feb. 24-26 Advanced event, preferably through Xentry.
Volunteers are needed. Please contact the Volunteer coordinator, Janet Wilson at [email protected] if you are available to help out.
