As before, there will be no flowers or fill in Ring 2 jumps. Schooling ● Schooling will be available to LWSC members on Friday night (12pm-dusk), Saturday night (once the new course is set), Saturday and Sunday mornings from 6:30-7:45am, and during the show in the warm-up arena. ● 15 minute schooling breaks in Ring 2 at each height change (between ground poles and crossbars, and again between crossbars and 18”) for participants to safely warm up. Jumper Tables ● There will be three rounds at each height for jumpers as well as a champion and reserve in each division. ● Table 2 Sec 1 - “Speed” - timed first round, no jump-off. Winner is fastest time with least faults. ● Table 2 Sec 2(b) - “Jump-off” - First round untimed, stay in ring and begin jump-off within 45 seconds if clear.

Professionals not permitted. Exhibitor Parties ● Starting at 1pm each show Saturday, we will have an exhibitor party near the grandstand at the main arena. ● Parties are sponsored and are a great time to socialize with your friends as well as earn volunteer hours (by setting the hunter course if the day is done!) Volunteering and Year End Awards ● Our shows are entirely volunteer run. We cannot exist without the help of our volunteers and encourage all participants to help out as they are able. ● We need announcers, ribbon room gals, and lots of jump crew - there is a job for everyone. ● Members who earn 8 volunteer hours are eligible for year-end awards at our banquet. ● Setting the course on Friday afternoon, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday evening is worth 4 hours, regardless of actual time taken!
