SHENANIGANS FARM 2011 -12 CHALLENGE SERIES Welcome to Shenanigans Farm 2010 Challenge Series Horse Shows. The goal of this series is to provide an opportunity for all of our students to compete at their level of riding, and demonstrate their riding skills, in a fun, family environment. In addition to our divisions last year, we are also excited to add on two medal classes. We will be having an Intermediate Equitation Medal, and an Open Equitation Medal. These riders will ride an equitation course and the top 4 riders will be called back to perform a test, administered by the judge. The riders will be pinned according to their combined 1st course and test. Each winner, and 2nd place riders, will qualify for the medal finals, which will be held at our Shenanigans Farm Challenge Series Finals. Students will be entered in divisions according to their riding ability. Students will compete in the same divisions at each of the 5 shows. Each division will have a set number of classes at each horse show. Each class will be awarded 6 ribbons. Each ribbon will receive a point value. The points in each division will be calculated at the end of the division and the highest points of that day will receive a Show Championship Ribbon, as well as any donated prize for Show Champion. The second highest score will receive a Reserve Champion Ribbon. These points will also count towards Series End Awards at the end of the 5 shows. Ties will be broken based on judges decision. Each division will have a Champion and Reserve champion at each show, and series end. Sponsors: We have had many donations of services, money, gifts, and trophies. We are still looking for a few more. If you are interested in being a sponsor, or you know someone who would, attached is a sponsorship form. Sportsmanship Award This award is the most important award at Shenanigans Farm. The winner of this award is chosen based on their sportsmanship, team support, and being a role model to others in the way in which they conduct themselves in winning and losing situations. It is the person who always has kind things to say to others whether they are winning or losing. It is the person that stands out because they are always pitching in, offering their horse to someone whose horse may be lame that day, or gives them a boost when they need it. It is the person who runs and helps someone get ready when they are late for a class. It is the one that watches everyone else and claps and supports the other riders, even when they could be playing with their friends. It is the person who asks the little ones if they need help, or if any of the instructors need help. The parents, students, instructors and judges are going to be voting on this person for the Series Banquet. Programs At each of horse shows, the Goddard family has very generously put together a beautiful show program for all of our riders. The program includes information on the classes, and acknowledges our riders who are participating in our series. A huge thank you to the Goddards for their wonderful keepsake for our students. Banquet Committee . The banquet will be held in May. |

| SHENANIGANS FARM 2011-12 CHALLENGE SERIES CHANGES AND NOTICES In addition to our regular Shenanigans Farm Challenge Series, we have added 2 new Medal Classes, and opportunities for more horse show fun!! First of all, we have added another show to our series, and any medal rider winners, or riders winning 2- 2nd place ribbons, will be invited to ride in the medal finals, at our new Shenanigans Farm Challenge Series Final Horse Show. We will be adding a few opportunities for riders to collect a few more points, and chances to ride in our Medal Finals, by adding bonus nights, along with our Dressage Show Nights. We will offer certain classes on certain nights so please check the schedule for your division. We have also made the games classes less expensive, to encourage all of our riders to participate. The dates for the 2011 Challenge Series, are also posted on the website. Please go to shenanigansfarm.com for the dates and classes offered, and more information. The website will also give you a link to our farm Google Calendar. We are in need of sponsors!!! Please check out the sponsorship opportunities on the website. Please make sure that all entries are in by the Closed Entry Dates. ALL LATE ENTRIES WILL BE CHARGED A $20.00 POST ENTRY FEE. It is very important for us to have all class lists and horse assignments one week prior to our shows. There will be no exceptions to this, to provide you with an organized, fun experience. We also ask that no parents or children view from the indoor arena. It is far too congested and dangerous. There is viewing from the observation room, or above the ring, outside of the food stand. I will be enforcing this, as this is a safety issue, and I want all of our riders and observers to enjoy the show safely. Please do not park on the grass by the house. There is extra parking up the hill. If you need assistance, please ask, as we would be happy to park for any needing help. Please do not bring your dog to our shows. Please email me or drop off pictures that you take of our shows. If anyone is interested in organizing a Shenanigans Farm Challenge Series Yearbook, please see me. This would be a great keepsake for the kids and parents. I would also like a 5X7 BLACK framed picture of all of our students. Please drop one off at the desk so we can hang them. |
