[Nordskogen] Schutzenfest Equestrian Activities

[croo0020]

Greetings to the hall!

Schutzenfest is only two weeks away, and I'd like to remind everyone 
that there will be equestrian activities at this years' event.  We have 
a wonderful weekend planned full of equestrian games, horse archery, an 
IKEqC, and a challenge course. We invite all equestrian enthusiasts of 
the Kingdom and surrounding lands to attend.

FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS:  If you plan to be part of the equestrian 
activities, you MUST register with the Equestrian-Marshal-In-Charge 
PRIOR TO THE EVENT.

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO AUTHORIZE IN EQUESTRIAN:   Riding authorizations 
will be done appointment only with the EMIC.  Currently, this is being 
planned for Friday afternoon only, depending on availability of 
marshals.  This schedule may change.  If you have not contacted the 
EMIC yet regarding authorizations (either riding or groundcrew) you 
MUST do so prior to the event.  Walk-up authorization requests during 
the event WILL NOT be available. No exceptions.

FOR PARTICIPANTS WHO DO NOT OWN A HORSE:   If you do not own a horse, 
prior arrangements must have been made with an attending horse owner 
before the start of the event if you wish to ride.  There are limited 
riding opportunities for non-horse owners, so if you have not contacted 
a horse owner yet, please let me know and I will try to refer you to 
one.  Groundcrew are always welcome, and you do NOT need to own a horse 
to help with groundcrew.

FOR ATTENDING HORSE OWNERS:  Pre-registration is HIGHLY recommended for 
all horse owners who are bringing their steeds to the event.  You have 
until June 15th to do so (that's only a week away).  You must contact 
the EMIC prior to the event with the number of horses you are planning 
to bring, and when you plan to arrive.  You MUST provide a copy of a 
negative Coggins test (dated within the past 12 months) and 30-day 
interstate health certificate (if arriving from out of state) for each 
horse before you can be allowed on site.

To contact or register with the EMIC, please contact:
