Sport Horse Classes

For SHIH, I see they have the Open in 7A and ATH in 7B starting at the same time. It lists "Sporthorse Judge" as the judge. For judges I see the following:

Dressage/Sport Horse Judge	Jacqueline	Oldham
Dressage/Sport Horse Judge	Pamela	Wooding
Sport Horse In-Hand/Under Saddle	Meg	Schulman

How is that going to break down?

I have this happen all the time here. The last show (Regionals, I believe) had me scheduled with one horse about 5 minutes apart, then my other horse. So, I wasn't running back and forth to the barn. They are usually pretty easy going if you speak to both gate people. We will keep track and see if one ring is ahead/behind vs. the other. They do/will usually take you out of order too if there is a conflict between rings.

Can anyone look up the judges and see if they are hunter or dressage? I will try too, but not usually sucessful at it.

HEY HEY HEY...One more post for Stacy and she gets her "promotion"!!!

But how many SHIH judges will we have? Are the 3 going to judge cross-dicipline since arenas are going on simultaneously?

Meg Shulman looks to be Hunter/Jumper

I see your question now...I think the SH judges will each do a ring? One judge can't do both rings...We'll find out when we get our times, ring and judge I guess.

I have done the sporthorse gates before. I think that they should be pretty lenient with conflicts. The open arena will have priority though. If you're nice to the gate people, they'll be nice to you.

I am ALWAYS nice to the show help...I've been secretary at our local hunter/jumper circuit shows and I detest when people are rude to me. I know how important it is to keep the show moving and not be the burden

It's a date. I love stories...the more colorful the better!

Of course - I'm sure from the outside looking in - I was rude, so you will hear.

I don't know why some people think they need to be rude to show staff. And, at least locally, some of our staff are very rude too. I'm like Natalie, I try to be nice and respectful. Get my schedule, numbers and get out of the office!
