WELCOME DRIVERS

Hello STRIDE drivers!

 We are thrilled to have you join us!! 

The driving office will be in Barn B Stall 1. Office hours Saturday March 21,2026 are 2-5pm. 

Stabling opens at 2pm. The cones course will also be open to walk at that time. 

Office hours Sunday March 22, 2026 are 8:00 am until after the show ends. 

 Hopefully by now you have familiarized yourself with the website; https://www.firstsightfarm.com/stride-driving-shows/ 

 Here is where you will find all the information and updates related to the driving division, drive times, stall/RV assignments, and show results. 

If you are driving dressage, please report with the dressage steward 10 minutes prior to your assigned drive time. Go directly to the safety inspector on the north side of the paddock. 

 You will also have your wheels measured here. 

 Remain in that area until the person in warm up begins their test. 

At that time, you may move to the warm up directly outside the arena as another driver proceeds to the safety area.

 Once your whistle blows, you have 45 seconds to enter the arena.

 After your test, go directly across the street and check in with the cones steward to drive your cones course. Class 70 - CT drivers will follow ADS rules. 

There is a minimum and maximum time with penalties for being outside that window. Stride classes will follow STRIDE rules in which there is no minimum time, and 3 second penalty for a downed ball. Awards will be available at the barn office as soon as possible after the show. Alert one of us in the office if you would like your award mailed to you. 

We are excited for another fun show!!
