SHOWING & EVENT SCHEDULE               

Events may be added as they become available, so this schedule may change.

safe, rewarding and affordable for all.

Requirements:
   1.  3 weeks advance notice to particpate in shows.

             Team members must show a minimum of 3 shows, and including 5 tests, and volunteer 4 hours to each chapter (8 total).We volunteer while at shows.
             Team riders (those showing for club awards) have first priority.  (We will be full this year!)
