Tuesdays in the Park

Payments are received at time of reservations ($35  per jumper trip,  $35 dressage ride, and $40 non compete horse, $40 per hunter trip, + service fees). The Sign-Up portal will remain open until 7:00am on Tuesday to book your trips and ride times, however refunds (minus service fees)will only be issued if trips are canceled before 5pm on the Monday prior to the Tuesday Schooling.

The Sign-Up Genius requires participants to answer all questions which include: Rider Name, Name of Horse and associated current Coggins test Date, and Indemnification and Waiver. 

There may be openings for trips after the close of online sign-ups, but there is no guarantee. Participants that decide to enter on the day of schooling will be charged $40 per jumper trip and $45 per hunter trip. 

Every division has ride times and orders of go which will be enforced, additionally all divisions have hard stops, in order to provide for drags and course changes.

Hunter courses have been designated at varying heights throughout the day. Height changes and drags are published in the schedule. Participants may not alter or touch the jumps in the show arena. If a rail falls down, jump crew will restore the jump to its designated height. There is a limit of 5 horses in the show arena at one time.

Please be courteous to your fellow horsemen who are riding in the ring at the same time as you. The hunter course will be posted on the course board next to the in-gate. 

Should you wish to deviate from the traditional hunter course and schooling format, please communicate with the others in the ring. Under no circumstances may a competitor jump in the opposite direction from which the course designer intended. 

Our goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all horse and riders.

Protective Headgear: Protective head gear, properly secured, must be worn BY ALL RIDERS AT ALL TIMES WHILE MOUNTED, anywhere, anytime on the show grounds. Headgear for all riders must meet or exceed ASTM Standards; must carry the SEI tag; and be properly secured by a harness. 

Back Numbers: ALL RIDERS MUST DISPLAY A BACK NUMBER AT ALL TIMES WHILE MOUNTED

Paramedic has authority to retire a rider
