Practices for "D" Eventing Rally

Subject: Re: D eventing Rally - Tuesday, Aug. 15th at BCHP - Practice sessions at Mrs. Brogan's and BCHP

From Cathy Brogan:

In order to get those who might be interested in going to this rally (and this can include C's who have little experience in eventing or perhaps have a green horse), I am having the following practice sessions at my farm:

Friday eve Aug 4, practice dressage tests - 6 pm
Sat. AM Aug 5, practice dressage tests - 9 am to 12 noon (Please let me know what time you can come)
Sun. Aug. 6 - if enough are interested, we would go as an unmounted group to walk the courses at the BCHP horse trials that will be going on that day.
Mon, Aug 7th 6 PM at BCHP to practice xome XC riding
Thurs. Aug 10th - back at Brogan's to do some galloping in the open and small XC fences at Becca's house.
Friday, Aug 11th - stadium jumping 9 am to 12 noon.
Sat. Aug 12th - last practice you can choose to ride a dressage test or do some stadium jumping, or both.
Sun. Aug. 13th - set up day for all - parents and members at BCHP from 3 pm until we are done.
Tues. Aug 15 - Rally day.

Cost for each session will be $15/rider.
For the BCHP day, you will just pay the non-member fee, which is currently $25 - no charge for the lesson. If a large enough group comes, a trail ride at the end might be fun.

Please let me (Cathy) know in the next day or so if you are interested in this rally and the prep sessions that we are going to hold to get you ready. This rally is open to all ratings, from D1 up. It is a safe rally and if you need extra help at any time during the day, we will make sure that you get it. We would like as many as possible to learn to ride in an event - dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping - it's a lot of fun.
