Kentucky Classique will once again host the Chronicle of the Horse/USEA Adult Team Challenge for the Central Region. These riders will be included within our usual open divisions at each level. For complete details of how to get your team entered, please check out Adult Team Guidelines.
We will also offer our usual Open and Rider divisions from BN through Interm, along with a CIC*. We share the Park this year with a very large dog show held at the Campgrounds, so we recommend that you reserve camping spots very early! Hope we see you there! 0 comments | Post comment | |

Attention: Riders & Supporters of the Classic Format 3Day!
Hagyard Midsouth 3Day & Team Challenge HT is dedicated to the continued support of the Long Format Three Day. We will host again this year both a CCI*-wo Steeplechase (FEI version) and our traditional Classic Format Preliminary Three Day Event. In addition, we have decided to add a Training 3Day Event to the weekend, along with our long-running team horse trials at BN through Prel levels. The T3D will include many educational seminars and clinic demonstrations for those riders. More details will be posted on the event page on this website. We encourage everyone to take full advantage of the dismounted sections of these seminars. Auditors are welcome, and we hope that the Prel 3Day riders make time to attend as well. The clinicians bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with all of you. See you in October! 2 comments | Read comments | |

New Rules for Concussed Riders!
Effective April 1, 2009, the new Return to Play rule is in effect. This rule (GR 1317) mandates that any competitor at a USEF licensed competition who is deemed concussed or unconscious (by qualified medical personnel) cannot return to competition until he/she has been cleared by a medical professional. The rider must submit a letter to the USEF signed by a medical professional attesting that the rider is fit to compete (able to return to all normal activities). You may read the complete Rule at GR 1317 and further explanation at Return to Play FAQs. It is the responsibility of the rider to notify any events in which he/she is entered should this circumstance arise. If you have specific questions, please contact Leigh Anne Claywell at USEF via email. 0 comments | Post comment | |
| Spring Bay Wrapup | |

Hallelujah, we finally had two days of good weather! I hope all of you enjoyed the sunshine and warm temps as much as we did, even though we are back to early spring wet, windy and cold today.
Results are online now. If you were unable to wait to pick up your ribbon, please contact the organizer about mailing it to you. We want to thank our two volunteer rider reps again, Cathy Wieschhoff and Philippa Richards, who managed to squeeze in four course walks ahead of time, ride multiple horses and stay around for questions at the Sat meeting. Philippa's students appreciated her work enough to make sure she won the Outstanding Coach award this year! Thank you all for coming to our event, and we hope to see you again next year! 3 comments | Read comments | |

We are a Go for 2009!
We still need entries to get to our "half the usual" number, but organizer Stanley Wiggs is committed to holding the event. The Course Designer has softened the courses somewhat in light of the horrible weather we have had this winter and early spring, and the brand new water complex for the upper levels is ready for its debut.  0 comments | Post comment | |
| NAJYRC Coming to the Kentucky Horse Park | |

The USEF announced on Feb 5 that they have received preliminary approval from the FEI to host the 2009 North American Junior/Young Rider Championships July 22-26 at the premier horse facility in the US, the Kentucky Horse Park.
We congratulate the USEF on their choice of venue, which will have undergone a complete renovation and redesign by this spring in advance of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Congratulations also to local organizer/instructor/MSEDA President Mary Fike, who has been tapped as the Organizer for the Eventing portion of the NAJYRC. Mary has years of experience in event organization which she will bring to the table, as well as an intimate knowledge of the Horse Park. This makes her uniquely qualified to organize this prestigious event. The USEF and USEA will provide many more details in the upcoming months, and we encourage all Junior and Young Rider candidates to make plans now to point toward this exciting competition.

| Eventing in Today's Economy! | |
| Posted by Event Mgmt. on Thu 05 Feb, 2009 | |
|
As everybody knows the economy continues to impact every aspect of our lives, and will probably be one of the main factors to consider when you make out your competition schedule for 2009. There has already been some fallout from this, with some events either canceled or considering whether to do so. USEA Article
Please send your entries to those events you plan to attend as quickly as is manageable after Opening Date. We are all in the same financial boat, and the events cannot allocate the money to make these events happen if they have no idea how many riders will actually attend. It is tough out there, and we appreciate your continued support. Let's hope our favorite event venues survive and prosper in the future! 2 comments | Read comments | |

New for 2009!
Spring Bay HT will have a different plan for the schedule this year, which we hope will benefit our riders. The new plan will allow us to accept additional entries and also require our riders to travel to a second location only once. 
All Dressage and Stadium will take place on Saturday at the Kentucky Horse Park, and then all Cross-Country will run on Sunday at Masterson Station Park. Stabling will be at the Ky Horse Park as usual. See you in April! 0 comments | Post comment | |
