Update - We now have individuals confirmed for the below, thank you to all who commented and volunteered across the posts, it is very appreciated

URGENTLY SEEKING AVAILABLE SHOWING JUDGES AND JUDGE SCRIBE TO ASSIST AT THIS SUNDAY’S SHOW

Our planned Ring 2 judge is unfortunately no longer available for this upcoming show. We are urgently seeking a Showing judge to assist in our In-hand ring this Sunday (27th).

We appreciate this is a very short notice ask, however at current we will be unable to run the In-Hand ring at Sunday’s show.

Judges are required for a 09:00 start until classes end (approximately 15:00-16:00, dependant on entries), with a break for lunch. Refreshments and a financial compensation are provided.
Those who can attend with a steward is a benefit, but not essential.

We are further seeking a scribe to assist our Dressage judge in Ring 5. Dressage experience is not essential.
Timings from 10:45 (for 11:00 start) until the ring ends only, with compensation provided as above.

Please contact us in the comments or via Messenger.

Many thanks

AUGUST SHOW UPDATE 10/08

The DDRC committee has today made the decision to cancel the upcoming August show due to current ground conditions.

Following the latest weather forecast updates, insufficient rainfall is expected before the show date, and the ground is unlikely to be suitable for the event to safely proceed as planned.
Horse welfare and competitor safety remains the priority behind this decision.

The next show on 27th September will currently run as planned. All August pre-entries will be rolled over; if you would prefer a refund, please contact us directly.
Ring 5 dressage will be run at the September show, subject to sufficient entries.

Thank you all for your understanding 🐴
