Spring Schooling Show Start Times!

Hey Raynham Riders,

We are getting very excited about the show on Saturday! Here are all the details you need to know:

• Arrival & Check-In:  When you arrive, please head to the camp trailer to check in with the secretary. Riders should plan to arrive approximately 45 min before their dressage time/flat class to ensure enough time to give their horse a thorough grooming and have time to warm up before your class.

• Payment: E-transfer (please send ASAP) OR you can give cash or cheque to the secretary on the morning of the show

• Attire: Show students should ideally wear show apparel but if the weather is less than cooperative, the priority is to dress neatly and appropriately for the weather!  Non-show riders should dress neatly but appropriately for the weather.

• Spectators:  Spectators are welcome!  Only riders are permitted in the barns and tack up area to prevent crowding.  Spectators are permitted wherever there are bleachers! 

• Parking: Please park efficiently in the parking lot. Once the parking lot is full, please park alongside the driveway alongside the paddocks.  Please do not park on the sides of the driveway between the house and the barn, it gets too congested.   Please be careful not to block gates or paths to paddocks.

• Dogs: Please do not bring dogs on Saturday, it will be busy enough as is!

• Food: We will have food available for purchase in the camp trailer - coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water pop, muffins, cookies, chips, chili (veggie & beef), hotdogs, chili dogs, and WALKING TACOS - YUM! Concessions will be CASH only.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!  We are looking forward to a fun show on Saturday!

Your Raynham Team

Thursday, February 15th - EVENING LESSONS CANCELLED

 Hey Raynham Riders,

They are calling for some heavy snow this afternoon and since it's hard to predict if they will have the roads cleared up in time for evening lessons, we have decided to cancel.  Amy will send an email with options to reschedule.

Stay safe tonight!

Saturday, January 20th - Some Lessons Cancelled, Please Read

 Hey Raynham Riders,

It's going to be mighty chilly tomorrow morning!  We are going to cancel ALL the lessons for the morning. ALL of Dawns lessons will be cancelled for the afternoon as well.   

I will message my/Lindsay’s lessons individually about some options for the afternoon  

Amy or I will send an email with options for rescheduling!  Stay warm tomorrow,

Nikki

Wednesday, January 17th - Lessons ARE Running Tonight

 Hey Guys,

Once again, it's hovering right around our cut-off temp for lessons but it looks like it's not going to drop below -12c so lessons will be running tonight.  We have the heat cranked in the tack-up area and with the sun, the arenas are quite a bit warmer than outside. Please be sure to dress warmly - hat, mitts, snow pants, winter boots, hot packs, etc. 

For Gabby's little riders, she has designed a stable management scavenger hunt that can be done in the heated tack-up area if riders need to shorten their ride a bit. 

See you tonight!

Tuesday, January 16th - Lessons ARE Running Tonight!

 Hey Raynham Riders,

It's not calling for the temp to drop below -12c (our cut off temp) until after 9pm tonight so classes will be running!  Dress in lots of layers - winter boots, snow pants, headband under your helmet, etc!  Gabby has also created a fun stable management scavenger hunt if riders need to shorten their lesson slightly if they get cold :)

See you tonight!

Nikki

Monday, January 15 - LESSONS AFTER 5PM CANCELLED

 Hey Raynham Riders,

Winter has arrived!! We have been spoiled this winter with mild temps, but today is COLD.  The forecast is calling for the temps to drop below -12c by 5pm.  Our cut-off for lessons is -12c, so we will cancel classes after 5pm.  Amy or I will be in touch with options to reschedule.

Stay warm today!

Nikki

Tuesday, January 9th - LESSONS CANCELLED

 Hey Raynham Riders,

The snow and wind are already awful, and it's only supposed to get worse, so we are going to cancel classes for today.   We will be in touch regarding options for rescheduling.

If you have to go out today, drive safe!
