Derby Days
Exciting Announcement!
We have added a new event to our calendar since the January meeting! Kate and Katie Whaley have generously donated the use of their Coach House Farm for three derby events.
The first two events: July 25 and August 22 (both dates are Saturdays), which will be two qualifying derbies. Those events will be $35 entry fee per the first two events for Spokes and Spurs members. (Non-members will be $35 per the first two derbies plus one time membership fee of $30 per single or $35 for family.)
The third and final event will be Saturday, September 12. If the entrant qualifies after the first two derbies, the fee for the third event is $50. Here’s the greatest thing of all: The entry fees collected from all three dates will be distributed over the top three winners of each class! The amounts will be determined after all entries have been received with the highest amount going to first place, the next highest amount to second place, and so forth.
The divisions will be single horse, single pony, pair horse, pair pony, VSE’s, and two wheel carts. Two wheel carts will walk and trot only. If you would like to practice driving a derby, but don’t wish to compete, you may enter the two qualifying derbies under “not to be judged” category. Numbers will be limited for those not actually competing, so those entries will be under a first come, first served basis. Fees will be the same as given above.
To enter, please fill out the Derby Entry form here. Mail it in, along with your entry fee(s) to the address provided on the form. If you have trouble opening this form or do not have access to a printer, contact David Gaston, President of Spokes and Spurs at spokesandspursky@gmail.com. Closing date for receiving entries and payments is June 30, 2020. After June 30, if you can be accommodated, any entrees will be charged an additional late entry fee o!f $10. In case of further COVID lock down, entry fees will be returned.
