This seems like a huge number of classes and rings, many of which appear to be duplicates of each other e.g. rings 3 & 4. Are you really going to have the space, helpers, judges, equipment and entrants for this number of rings?

Your show-jumping classes should have some heights e.g. 2'6", 2'9", otherwise people won't know which class to enter.

Hello, when will this show be? We would be interested in coming!
Thankyou hannah,

Oh, good schedule by the way.

 

[caemar1]

There does seem to be an awful lot of working hunter classes there!!

 

[Keltic]

A popular class at our riding club is the in hand "cob type" open to traditional hairys and clipped and hogged always a good entry to this class. But the schedule looks really good.

 

[Zebedee]

What kind of a show is this? What kind of turnout (numbers) are you expecting, & what size is your venue? This is a very comprehensive schedule. If I tell you that at a six ring show that I run, three well supported WH classes take about four hours to judge I think you'll realise that your 10 / 11 WH classes may be asking a lot of your judge......The six ring show takes up all of a flat 8 acre field, with the parking filling up a neighbouring field of about 5 acres.
If you tell me a bit more ablout your show I'll try & help you a bit, but you are looking at about £1000 just for rosettes, never mind medals & trophies!! With regard to the cost of putting on a show of thos size I can see you've got some sponsorship, but for a show of the size you seem to be planning I would think you're looking at at least two ambulances on site (£300+) ,about £300 for insurance, & at least six toilets @ about £50 each.
A lot of your classes seem to be for very novice horses / riders. To be honest a show of this size just isn't a suitable starting point for them. I think you'd be better looking a running a series of smaller shows rather than one gigantic one.
Can I ask if you've ever run a show before?
Apologies if I sound a bit negative........it is just such a huge schedule!!
