20 Mile House Combined Driving Trial July 19, 2015

Dear Friends and Competitors,

This one-day event will have three-phases: (A) Dressage, (C) Cones, and (B) Marathon

including hazards.

Classes will include horses, ponies, and VSE (very small equines,) both singles and multiples.

Classes may be combined or split depending on the number of entries received.

You are encouraged to ask questions about any phase of this event.

The purpose of this event is two-fold: to provide a fun driving experience and to learn more

about Combined Driving. We are looking forward to this event and to having you with us.

If you are not bringing a horse, consider volunteering. You can still have fun and be part of

the action!

Thank you for participating.

Sincerely,

The Show Committee

Volunteers Needed!

This is your chance. If you’re someone who’s competed at many CDS events, this is a way to give back to the

club. If you’re just starting to drive, it’s a way to learn about competitive driving. It’s also a chance to spend a day

outside with fun people doing something worthwhile.

On Saturday, July 18, we’ll set the courses. We’ll be setting up dressage and cones arenas. We’ll also mark and

measure the marathon course and mark the gates in the hazards. If you’re competing, this is a great chance to see

the course ahead of time without having to worry about what your horse is up to or when you need to be in an

arena on the morning of the show.

On Sunday, July 19, show day, in the early morning, we need folks to set up sun shades, tables and chairs for

the officials, to measure wheels, and to hand out competitor packets. Then we’ll need folks to get competitors in

and out of the dressage and cones arenas, and pick up downed balls and cones. We need a couple of drivers for the

marathon course “walk” in the morning, and people to dismantle the cones and dressage arenas during the lunch

break. In the afternoon we need many timers and judges for the marathon and its hazards. When everything’s over,

we’ll need a few folks to take down the marathon course and hazard markers, take down sunshades and equipment,

and pack everything up.

If you can help, please fill out the form below and mail it to
