Country Girl Horse Craze Days of Eventing Updates!

We are still in need of Country Girl Horse Craze Days Queens. (Like Rodeo Queens)Must be able to carry the flag while mounted. Will be required to show up 90 minutes prior to event start to go over rehersal with your horses.

Our Arena location will most likely be in Temecula or Murrieta. I plan to Visit the Arenas (All 3 of them this weekend) and choose which best while suit us.

Shannon has suggested a Trail Ride after eventing for both days! She has 17 horses that she is offering for those whose horses are arena type only. Spectators wishing to use Shannons horses for the trail rides will be required to pay.

We will be doing pony rides for the horse crazy kiddos during the events. They will probably $3 per ride or something small like that.

Again this is a NON Acoholic event. Family oreintated. This is a gathering and a competition for horse lovers. To meet up make new friends. And come away from this event with happy memories, and a few new good friends.

This event will also help raise funds for our rescue.

Again the sign up dates will be closed May 1st. So we will know how many divisions we can hold in each event.
Right now we will be holding
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
in each of the classes
Barrel Racing
Pole Bending
Jumping
The classes will NOT be split up by age, but by experience. Don't be bashful! If this is your first event that's OK!! This is a just for fun event. All participants will receive an award. Everyone will receive a ribbon for the place they took. That's why it is crucial to let us know ASAP how many events you plan to enter, which levels. Ect.

The obstacle course where horse owners will LEAD their horses through it has been drawn out. It's going to be Orange cones to weave in and out of, barrels to walk around, and logs to walk over. This is a timed class, it will not be split up into different catergories.

People wanting to rehome their horses, You are welcome to bring your horse and enter into atleast ONE event. We will announce the horse's information, and the horse's owners contact information. That way people will get to see what your horse can do and meet your horse. :)

Some of our rescues will be at the event as well. Entered in atleast ONE event. Their information and adoption fees will be announced.

After speaking with a few bands, we have deceided during breaks we will play CDS through the speaker system.

Next: If you would like a certain song played while you are eventing, please tell us by May 1st, so we can have the CDS made and ready. All songs will be the "clean" or "edited" versions as this is a family orientated event. No cussing, or vulgar songs will be allowed.

Also if you are planning to attend and participate in any event with your horse, and you have a space available in your trailer let us know. So that perhaps people can Horse pool. :) And split the gas? Let us know the area you are coming from and how many spaces you have.

Still in need of some volunteers to help clean up. We will have garbage cans set up for Soda Cans only, Plastic Bottles only, and Normal Trash Cans. We expect everyone to be respectful and use the trash cans. As the people offering to let us use their arenas are being generous enough to let us use their space, lets try to respect that.

Official dates: July 31st and June 1st.

Rules pertaining to horses: Must have UTD shot record to unload any horse, coggins are not required UNLESS the horse has come from out of state. No stallions.

Rules: No Animals besides horses will be allowed. So please don't bring your dogs or cats and leave them in your truck. All riders and anyone working around or helping a rider with their horses are required to wear a helmet and boots at all times when working with or around the horses. They don't have to be fancy. They just have to do the job. :) Everyone attending including onlookers will be required to sign a release of liability. One for the property owner, one for Country Girl Horse Rescues. All participants are required to arrive 45 minutes prior to the events starting to receive their numbers and pay their entry fees. We will not be accepting checks for entry fees. All vendors should arrive atleast one hour prior to the start of events to set up their tables/booths. We will not be accepting checks for vendors who are going to rent a space during the events. Deadline for vendors to reserve a space is May 1st. Deadline to reserve a space in the events is May 1st as well to keep things simple. Attire for everyone attending, casual. No t-shirts with profanity, or vulgar slogans. Jeans and T-shirts showing parts of your body that children shouldn't be seeing aren't allowed. The rule includes spectators and not just enterants.:)

I think that about sums it up. All that we will need to determine now is the exact location. We should have that space set up/ reserved by next week.

Again if you are planning to enter an event and have extra spaces in your trailer, please let us know what area you are coming from and if you are willing to horsepool for other people who want to enter. The details can be worked out between the individuals as far as paying half of gas or what not. We will simply put people in contact with each other in the same areas.

Good sportsmanship please. This is a fun event. Let's keep it that way. :)

Good Luck to everyone that enters!

If you or someone you know may be interested in being a Horse Craze Days Queen. Please have them contact us with a photo of them/you and their horse. We will be coordinating what the queens will be wearing. Red white and blue. :)

Last but not least! Help us SPREAD the word!! Fliers can be mailed to you upon request. If you have a tack store / feed store, or any place that will let you place the fliers where horse people can see them. That would be great. :)

So please mail us if you don't mind putting up a few fliers for us! We will mail them to you ASAP.

Thanks again to all of our supporters. Even if you do not plan to event, I do hope that you plan to attend. So that we can all meet up!
