SATURDAY COMPETITION: Single entries welcome, *OR* you may be part of the TEAM CHALLENGE. Teams must consist of three horse/rider combinations. No horse or rider can ride twice for the same team; no combination can compete on two teams; no more than two FEI combinations per team; no more than one professional rider per team. Team riders may compete at any level. Freestyle classes do not count for the team challenge. Single team members are also allowed to ride at different levels. The lowest single score of the team will be dropped. The remaining scores will be handicapped according to the scale listed in the official prize list, and averaged to obtain a team score. Scratches or eliminations for any reason will be considered a zero score and counted as either the low drop score for the team, or handicapped and computed into the team average score if more than one scratch/elimination occurs on a team.Courtesy of Hays Companies, prizes will be awarded to the winning team.

SATURDAY 27th ANNUAL FESTIVAL UNDER THE STARS:
Everyone is invited to join us for a wonderful evening of dressage under the stars (under lights, actually, as we can’t guarantee the stars....) beginning at ~ 6:30 PM on Saturday. We’ll have an evening of exhibition rides, quadrilles, and musical freestyles! Here’s your chance to be in the spotlight! Start planning your ride now! Exhibition rides include (but are not limited to): Pas de Deux, Pas de Trois, Costumed Rides, Quadrille, Vaulting, or that unconventional Musical Freestyle you’ve always wanted to do! Join others in your barn and create an entertaining performance. Use your imagination, and help make dressage a spectator sport at the Festival! There is no entry fee for exhibition rides. All riders must wear helmets. Contact Heather Salden-Kurtz for an application (612)-360-0848 or sly_h_s@yahoo.com.
