With the sale of the historical Sagamore Farm in Glyndon over the winter, show organizer and ERRI Consulting Board member Tracey Hurline had to line-up an alternate show ground. This year's show will take place at Epoch Farm in Reisterstown in either Sept. or Oct. "Things have been a little crazy," Hurline said. "We still have to get together with the Smiths and Jim [Armstrong] to settle on a date." Use of the venue was donated by owners Kirsten and Scott Smith. Armstrong will donate his expertise as judge for the 6th consecutive time. Nineteen classes from USDF Walk Trot to Musical Freestyle are offered. Entry fees are as follows: $20 per class Walk Trot - 4th Level, $20 per class Prix St. George - Grand Prix and Freestyles/Pas de Deux/Quadrille. AHSA rules will apply except half-chaps will be allowed and Freestylers do not have to submit qualifying tests with their entries. Appropriate headgear is recommended to all riders when mounted. Participants must send a negative Coggins along with an entry form and check payable to ERRI, Inc. to Org./Secretary - Tracey Hurline, 5115 Sweet Air Rd., Baldwin, MD 21013. Showdate and entry deadline will be posted on the ERRI website by late July. There will be no refunds after the closing date as this is a benefit show. All donations made to ERRI, a 501(c)(3) organization, are 100 percent tax deductible. |
