Each horse stall includes one bag of shavings. Tack stalls are $15 and do not include shavings. FVSA may require stall rental in poor weather. Additional bags of shavings may be purchased on the grounds for $10 each. We have about 95 stalls available.

Our volunteers are FVSA members. Some IDCTA members also may be volunteering. Be sure to say "hello"!

Each level has two divisions: Junior and Senior. There is no "open" division, so professionals and amateurs are grouped together in each division. To qualify as a Junior, you must not be older than 21 prior to the start of the current calendar year. We also may split each division at a level into more than one section, depending on the number of entries. Ribbons 1st - 6th place are awarded for the dressage phase and for overall; neck ribbons are awarded for overall winners. Additional prizes also may be awarded. Please return your bridle tag numbers when you complete your final jumping phase.
