Friday

YOU WILL BE PAYING THE VENDOR INDIVIDUALY, SO INQUIRE ABOUT PAYMENT METHODS WHEN SIGNING UP WITH AN OUTSIDE VENDOR.
Obstacle Practice - Multiple obstacles will be set up for riders to "play" with. Riders will be required to re-set the obstacles as needed as there will not be anyone overseeing the area.

STALL RENTAL AND THEIR COSTS
Stall Rental:
$20 per night (You Clean) _ Rates are for one horse in one stall
$25 per night (We Clean) - Rates are for one horse in one stall.
Bumble Bee Ranch comes by once a day to pick up your manure pile. If you have a manure bucket even better. If you pay Bumble Bee Ranch to clean, sit back and relax. Self cleaners at the tack room must take their manure to the manure pile.
Stall Assignments and Guest Houses
There are no holds on spots for this event. They are first come, first serve.
If you turn down a stall or cannot make it, the stall goes to the next person on the waiting list.
You cannot give it to someone else. That is unfair.
Please bring a manure bucket for quick clean-up of your stalls and campsites!
