THE CROSS COUNTRY COURSE WILL OFFICIALLY CLOSE FOR USE AFTER THE HUNTER PACE!   This is under USEF/USEA rules for preparation for our June Horse Trials!  Please respect the course and the footing (and the rules....elimination is the consequence for schooling on it after closure!) by staying off the course until after the June Horse Trials!
