Everything you want to know about Plantation Field equestrian events…..
Q1. When are the scores going to be posted?
A. Regarding scoring questions such as competitors getting jumping penalties which they feel they did not incur, please ask your questions and voice your concerns, but please do not come storming in with a major attitude. The scorers will work with you to find out the answer but it might take some time. One more thing, with the proliferation of smartphones and online scoring, there is no reason not to look up your score right there at the event. The online scoring is updated every 10 minutes. At a recognized event, even if you have left the event, please check your scores and make sure that they are correct. Don't wait until the next day; let us know immediately if there is an error.
Q. Do you mail ribbons?
A. We prefer that you pick up your ribbon when the division is final or that you have a buddy who lives near you pick it up. However, if that is not possible, we will mail your ribbon if you let the secretary know your name and address before you leave the show. We have manila envelopes at the Secretary's Office which you can fill out with your name and address, then put $2.00 in the envelope for postage and handling and write what it is you want mailed on the inside flap of the envelope. Or, if you send a $1.40 stamped, self-addressed small manila envelope we will mail you your ribbon.
Q. Do you mail us our dressage tests?
A. The same goes with the dressage test as with the ribbons. You can pick up your dressage test from the secretary's office during the event but we will not mail out all the ones that were not picked up unless instructed.
Q. Why have you gone to adjustable plastic pinney holders instead of cloth pinnies?
A. We have done away with the cloth pinnies and have gone to the adjustable plastic pinney holders because of the tremendous amount of time it took to collect, wash, sort and stuff the competitor packets. Competitors were always either forgetting to return them or taking them home as souvenirs. It is extremely difficult to schedule an event if you are missing numbers. The new adjustable pinney holders are available from the secretary for $20.00 and are yours to keep. Just think of them as another piece of tack you need along with your saddle, bridle, boots and breeches.
