Play Day series starts at


A play day is similar to a horse show but it's primarily a competition with
speed events.  While watching the lessons you probably have heard terms
such as: Birangle, Skill Barrels, Poles, Keyhole etc. These are the names of
the patterns for the speed events.  Barrels, Poles and Flags are the three
main events.

Optional refers to the last class and it can be any of the patterns we have
been learning in the lessons (Birangle, Skill Barrels, Speed Barrels, In Line
Barrels, Keyhole etc.)  Usually you won't know what the optional pattern will
be until the day of the play day.  It kind of makes it a surprise.

Exhibition is a practice run, it doesn't count for the actual play day points,
it's just a practice run.  Due to the limited amount of horses each student
may do one exhibition run.  It's not required but if they are nervous they
should do an exhibition run to boost their confidence.

How to sign up It would be great if everyone could sign up at their lesson
the week before the date of the play day but with hectic family life I know
that might not happen.  The sign up sheets will be available at lessons but
you may also sign up the day of the play day.  If you are planning on signing
up the day of the play day let Karen know so she can schedule the horses
and riders accordingly.  If you don't your student may be riding a horse they
didn't practice on.  
In an actual play day at a round up club they split the competition into age
groups.  We will be splitting them into riding levels at our play days.  You
won't have to worry about deciding what level they should enter because
Karen will all ready have that done for you.
