*Winter Tournaments*

The Central States Winter Tournaments are beginner-level horse shows held at the Tom Bass Arena at the American Royal Complex in Kansas City, MO. Shows start at 10:00 a.m. and run until about 4:00 or 5:00 p.m.

If you want to show, you will show one of the lesson horses that you ride in your lessons. You will show in two events and earn a ribbon in each event (events are limited to 6 competitors and 6 ribbons are awarded). Once you sign up to show, you will practice the required skills on the horse you will be showing.

In order to show you will need riding pants (dark colored Kentucky jodhpurs); ankle-high jodhpur boots; a dress shirt, tie, and vest; and leather riding gloves. These items are available at Horse Hardware behind the QT gas station at 69 highway and 151st street in Overland Park, or online at National Bridle Shop (Annalisa can help)

Cost to show at the Winter Tournaments is $175 per show for the 2009-2010 season. This cost includes shipping the horse; renting a stall; entry fees; grooming and coaching costs; use of tack and equipment; etc. There are no other costs beyond the $175 fee.

*Horse Camp*

Horse Camps are really fun. They generally run from 10:00-3:00, and include riding lessons, plus lots of other fun stuff. We have lots of time to groom the horses without rushing, and time to practice saddling and bridling. We also play games, outside if the weather is nice, water games if it is hot, and crafts and games indoors too.

You will want to bring lunch, drinks and snacks. If it is cold, bring warm clothes. If it is hot, bring swimsuits, shorts and flip flops for the water games.

Bring all your questions, too. Anything you want to learn about? Anything you want to spend extra time on? Just let us know. We can learn about breeds of horses, colors of horses, styles of riding, horse care, lots of cool stuff. And if you want to work on, say, bridling, we can do that. You should come to horse camp!
