Schooling Policies
1) Ticketed schooling in competition arenas is available the Tuesday prior to the start of competition. This refers to those venues where preliminary competition will take place, meaning Covered, Stonelea, Claiborne, Murphy, and Rolex.
2) At check-in, each Trainer will receive two schooling tickets per entry. These schooling tickets will gain them access to their choice of up to two available competition venues. Upon receiving their schooling tickets, Trainers will write their bridle number down on each ticket.
3) When arriving at a ticketed arena, Trainers will check in with the schooling attendant and give them their ticket. The attendant will keep a rotation, and if the arena is too full, the attendant will advise the Trainer when to come back.
4) Attendants are tasked with keeping arenas orderly and not over-filled. They have the authority to ask Trainers to leave who have been in the arena longest in order to allow others in who are waiting to school.
5) The following courses are not open for schooling under any circumstances: Cross Country, Field Hunters, and Competitive Trail. These courses will be open for Trainer inspection on-foot only.
6) Trainers are free to hack around the grounds of the park but are not to bring their horses within 100 feet of obstacles on the courses listed above.
7) An assortment of trail-type obstacles will be available on the far end of the Annex Arena. This area is unticketed.
8) For Freestyle riders with routines involving liberty, props, firearms, or other potentially disruptive activity, we will have a sign-up at check-in for slots for “Prop Schooling” in the Covered Arena where riders will have 10 minutes on their own to run through their routine on Tuesday. Limit one time slot per horse. Prop schooling does not require a ticket.
9) Barrel Racers will also receive dedicated time in the Covered Arena that will allow them to run patterns and school without disrupting others. This time is not structured and does not require a ticket.
10) Warm Up arenas are unticketed and available based on the published schedule.
11) There is no lunging allowed in ticketed schooling arenas.
12) Riding in the Dressage arenas in the Rolex IS allowed but is limited to 10 minutes as enforced by the schooling attendant. Riders may school longer in the Rolex itself, but riding inside the Dressage arenas
is limited to ensure everyone gets access to them.
13) Riders must follow arena etiquette of passing left to left, calling out
