We have added another wrinkle to the 2009 event! We will host a Training Level 3Day this year as part of the SmartPak Equine USEA Training Level Three-day Series. To read more about this Series, go to T3DE.
The Qualifications to compete in this T3D for 2009 are listed below. We will of course continue to offer our traditional long format One Star Event, a CCI* without Steeplechase, and the Team Competition at Beginner Novice through Preliminary levels. The T3D will include many educational seminars and clinic demonstrations for those riders. More details will be posted here later. 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. 
There are several other events and activities at the Park this week so hotel and campground reservations should be made very early! Team Challenge T3D Qualifications 2009 Both horse and rider must have completed 4 Training level or higher events within 24 months of the Opening Date [Sep1] and no later than 10 days before the Event begins [by Oct 6]. At least one of these events must have been completed as a Horse/Rider combination within 3 months of this event [after Jul 15]. Three of the events must be without XC jump penalties, and the 4th may have incurred no more than 20 jump penalties. Volunteers for this event are always welcome! We will be glad to work around your ride times. If you can help, please click on the Volunteers link in the left sidebar. We will be in touch! The team competition at the Mid-South 3Day and Team Challenge HT in October is conducted in the following manner. Note that all HT divisions are OPEN divisions. Each of the team members, either 3 or 4 riders, will ride dressage at the same time in adjacent rings (which comprise the individual divisions), and then will jump both XC and show jumping in consecutive order. So, no team may have a rider on two or more horses. If teams have been submitted with a rider on multiple horses, the extra rides will be placed in the list of individual entries. Riders may contact the secretary to indicate which ride should be the first team horse. 
We will schedule the teams that entered on Opening Date first, and then add teams and individual entries as we have room. All riders will be placed either on short teams of 3, or on composite teams that we assemble. All accepted riders will be listed online after the Draw Date. If a team member must be replaced, the secretary will backfill the vacancy from the waitlist unless the team indicates that they do not want substitutions. Teams which drop below three members after the Close Date (or before if we have exhausted our waitlist) will cease to exist as a team, but the remaining riders will still compete as individuals. Substitutions at the same level of either horse or rider, but not both, will be accepted if qualified for that level. Please understand that these policies are in place to treat the waitlisted riders fairly. Team scores are determined by adding together the lowest three scores from the team riders. All teams are encouraged to join in the fun of cross-country day by wearing safe, appropriate costumes! Please read the article linked here for details on how we replace scratched riders on our teams, as well as options for teams who need to replace a rider. Send your entries on Opening Date to give your team the best chance of getting into the event! Attention: Competitors! Many of our spectators are new to the sport of Eventing, and we want them to know you as more than just a number. Is your horse an off-the-track-Thoroughbred? Is this your first or your horse’s first event? Is this a new horse, or perhaps your first Training Level event together? Maybe it is your birthday, or you are really proud of something you and your horse have accomplished this year. We want to know about your profession, your school/college, spouse/children, etc. Please email some background information to our announcer Cyndi Kurth. Please complete these no later than Tue, Oct 13. This info will not be shared with anyone else! | |
