Come join us for the Windchase XC Derby!
Saturday November 9 (Rain Date November 10)
Windchase is holding its first official Cross-Country Derby. The course will begin in the arena over a few show jumps, and then go out across our 100-acre-plus XC course, going from field to field. Courses will be from one to two miles long. Footing permitting, the course will include water, banks and ditches, as well as some foxhunting type obstacles. All courses designed to be confidence building and inviting. This is a unique chance to ride over the beautiful rolling hills of western Loudoun County, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, while competing in a fun and informal atmosphere.
Classes judged on closest to Optimum Time and jumping penalties. In all divisions, if you choose to jump a lower or higher option that is fine. If you skip a fence altogether that is OK too, a small time penalty will be added to your time. Lead horses will be available if needed.
We will have a division for Pairs, where two riders go out together (and hopefully come back together too!), as well as the regular individual classes.
Entries are $60 for pre-entries, or $70 for post entries.
Second rounds can be added for $30.
(A $25 office fee is due if you cancel less than 48 hours before the Derby.)
Approximate ride times will be emailed out several days before the Derby. Divisions run low to high.
There will be prizes!
