Dear Riding School Students,
Twice a year MacNair's hosts a show exclusively for students in our Riding School Program. Classes are designed for every level student, so if you are learning to post, you will be in a class with others also learning to post. If you can jump a course, so can the others in your class.
If the rider(s) in your family are wondering if they might enjoy showing, this is a the perfect place for first-timers. If you've ridden in these shows before, you know they are a lot of fun. Talk to your instructor if you have any questions.
Hope to see you at the show,
Nancy

Riding School Show FAQ's If, instead of riding horses, you played the piano, this show would be your recital. You've been learning new things, working hard and practicing. Now is your chance to show everyone what you've learned.
You don't need to buy anything special to wear; the helmet, boots and pants you wear to your lessons will do just fine (although it would be nice to clean your boots.) If your hair is long, tie it back or put it in a net - no hair should be visible in front of your helmet's harness. Dress for the weather. If it's warm and you can do without a jacket, please wear a shirt (tucked in) with a collar. Otherwise, a snug jacket and warm clothes are just right.
Spectators may wish to bring chairs to be sure of a place to sit. If someone with limited mobility wants to watch the show, please let us know ahead of time so we can make getting to the ring easier.
MacNair's 4-H Club will have a concession stand so plan on some yummy treats.
Some of the classes will not be the traditional horse show fare. But if you want to show, there is a class for you.

How it Works
Pony School & Community School riders are divided into Groups, as listed on the left. Your Group will determine the classes for which you are eligible. This information is on the registration form. If you take Private Lessons only, please ask your instructor about which classes you may enter. 
On your registration form there will be a space to check the classes you want to enter and to indicate your horse choices. (An early registration date on your entry form will increase the odds of getting the horse you want.) Remember that if you want to do a poles/jumping class you must also enter a flat class as your warm-up.
You MUST pre- register to participate - entries made after 5 PM on Nov 30 will only be accepted if there are horses still available.
Once registration is complete, you can check the barn website
(www.macnairscountryacres.com) after Dec 3 for your start time(s.) Be aware that start times may vary by as much as 30 minutes either way, so please come to the barn at least 45 minutes before your estimated time. Go to the secretary's stand to check-in and then go get your horse, who will be ready take to the ring.
