Entry Fees:

WE Show Entry Fee: $325 (includes first bag of shavings, and stabling from Friday afternoon – Sunday night. Please plan to arrive no earlier than 1 pm on Friday (honestly — NO EARLIER — if you arrive prior to 1 pm on Friday, please plan to pay a ‘haul in fee’ to OHC and amuse yourself in the main facility rather than coming to the Prairie Arena). Additional bags of shavings can be purchased on site for $10/bag.

Tack Stall: $100
(OHC Boarders who do not need stabling can request a $100 discount because they don’t need a stall)
PLEASE DO NOT BRING OUTSIDE SHAVINGS IN — we are charged an extra $35 per stall if any outside shavings are used.
Camping is available on site — please make reservations directly with the Oregon Horse Center if you are planning to camp (we do not handle the camping spot reservations at all).
To compete, riders must be current members of USAWE, and all horses must be recorded with USAWE. If you are participating for schooling only, this requirement is waived.
Judge: Cari Schwartz, “R”, Oregon
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because of the need to pay in full for the facility and Judge expenses, regardless of weather or medical considerations, no refunds can be issued for this event (no exceptions).

Meet our clinicians, Jody Fontanetta and Polly Limond!!
Jody Fontanetta is a fourth-generation equestrian born and raised in Murfreesboro, TN. Jody’s riding experience spans across many disciplines with dressage being the core of her training. She was a member of Stones River Pony Club for many years. Jody has trained and competed on the national circuit in dressage through the FEI levels and participated in the North American Junior Young Rider Program. She earned her bronze and silver medals with the United States Dressage Federation. Currently, Jody runs a riding program for all ages with a focus on classical horsemanship at her farm in MiIton, TN. In 2017, she was introduced to Working Equitation and hasn’t looked back. She has earned numerous high point awards through Level 5 in Region 7. Currently Jody is competing at the Advanced level (L6) with her grade gelding, Misty Morning Stash. Many locals were awed by her rides at the recent Summer Solstice at TIEC USAWE licensed shows in June. She is proud to be a forerunner in building interest and support for working equitation in the Middle Tennessee area. Jody is an “L” candidate for the USAWE Judge’s program and is also a member of the USA Working Equitation Coaches’ Network.

Polly is an “S” judge and a licensed TD with USAWE plus an USDF “L” graduate with distinction. She has judged countless WE shows across the US and Canada, and local schooling shows in classical, eventing. western dressage, and obstacle challenges.
