Shows and Events

BGA's Grand Opening Show is being held on Sunday 26th of January, 2003!! It is open to everyone, horses of all breeds, disciplines and types, even to other animals!! It is being held at BGA and is being run by me, Simone. Each horse may enter 5 events and each owner may enter only up to 5 horses in each class. The cost is $5 per horse(or other animal). I will do results randomly and they stand. Points will be the usual Shanandoah point system. Any classes that have less than 4 competitors will be cancelled, I am very sorry but i am unable to notify you if this is the case. Results will be posted before the 30th of February, as this will be a very big job!! Results will be shown on our Show Results Page.
