SHOW JUMPING - Start time 9.00am
A range of show jumping heights are offered at this event, starting at 45cm.
There is no draw for show jumping and riders can jump in any order. As we accept entries on the day it is impossible to provide definitive start times for heights 60cm and above. Riders are encouraged to check approximate start times and work out the best time to complete both your jumping and XC rounds.
On the day, please keep an ear out for PA announcements and proceed to the marshalling area as soon as possible. Marshalls will check you in prior to warm-up and your rounds.
PLEASE NOTE: Start times are approximate only and the arena may start earlier than the listed time. It is highly recommended that riders present to the marshall as early as possible to register their attendance and intention to jump at the prescribed height. Refunds are not provided if classes are missed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
STABLES
Stables are available for this event – free for Gidge club members and $30 for non-members – on a first-come, first-served basis (cash is preferred). Anyone using a stable (including Gidge club members) are required to pay a $20 bond which is refundable if the stable is left clean after you’ve finished with it. Everyone using a stable (including club members) need to follow these steps:
CANTEEN
We do have a small but tasty canteen available for brekkie, lunch, snacks and drinks. We have both cash and EFTPOS facilities available, however please bear in mind that reception in the Hills can sometimes be a bit dodgy so having cash on hand is a good idea.
$20 HELPER CASH BACK (FOR NON-GH&PC ENTRANTS ONLY)
The great thing about Gidge's Training Days is that helper duties are not compulsory. However, 'many hands make light work' and events like this need lots of hands. That's why we've introduced a $20 cash back for anyone that provides a helper.
SCRATCHINGS AND REFUNDS
Scratchings after the close of entries will only be accepted with a veterinary or medical certificate. An administration fee may apply.
If you’re at the event and decide to scratch from a class, please also notify the office so we can let the marshalls know. A full refund will be given on presentation of a vet or doctors certificate.
