Hello all, I’m asking everyone to look at their schedules to help me decide where, when , and if we should show in Ocala this winter. For the past few years I have wanted to attend the Florida shows but Rider’s schedules and budgets got in the way. For the past few years instead, we have gone to the local Aiken shows which each year we vow we will not do again… I’m really hoping that this year we actually attend Ocala. The competition is better which would make our riders rise to the occasion and perform at a higher level- all things that they are certainly capable of.
Here is the link with the Ocala Dates: Ocala Hits Schedule I am hoping that we could do at least two back to back weeks in mid February. In the meantime we are once again looking at the rest of the year’s show schedule- we will do many of the same shows as in years past, favorites are; Tryon International Spring Shows, Bruce’s Field Aiken, Blowing Rock, and Raleigh. I have marked in bold the ones that would work well with breaks in between although I am certainly open to suggestions. The USEF schedule only goes to the end of August. The rest of the year should be out later this season.
