Competitor Info

While this web site is primarily aimed at potential spectators for the CDI-W/Y/J Raleigh and Capital Classic, we did want to provide some basic information for the competitors.

The buttons to your left will give you the class lists, unofficial ride times, a Stabling Chart, officials, awards, and fees for each of the shows as well as the FEI Code of Conduct and information on the show's host hotels.

A downloadable version of the Official Prize Lists and Entry form are now available. Click on "Class Lists" to access these documents.

Click HERE to get a copy of the official letter for everyone with information that you need to know about the show.

The Hunt Horse Complex is a pretty large and sprawling place so if you are interested in renting a golf cart for the weekend call Carolina Carriage at 1-910-295-0574. These are gas-powered carts rather than electric so they will last better going up and down the "hill". Carts will NOT be available at the last minute so you need to reserve yours ahead of time. Note: the law requires that only individuals holding valid drivers licenses be allowed to drive any motorized vehicle, including golf carts.

Professional Braiding Services will be available on a first-come basis by Ashley Burd (724-322-2704). Also, information will be sent with times prior to the show.

The show photographer is Bob Tarr Photography 513-851-8529

The show videographer is Video Vibes 540-882-3626

Night watch included for CDI competitors and available for purchase to CDC competitiors by Equine Nanny, Missy Sage (561) 313-4653

Straw, Shavings, and feed will be available for sale at the show.

Attention CDI Competitors:

Competitors are reminded of the following FEI rule which is applicable to all competitors in FEI-recognized (CDI) classes at CDI-W/Y/J Raleigh:

On no account, and under penalty of disqualification, may any horse take part in a CDI*** and upwards which has been schooled by anyone other than the competitor concerned, or any other competitor belonging to the same team, mounted in the saddle, in or outside the town where the event takes place, during the four days preceding the first competition of event as well as for the duration of the whole event. This means, for instance, that a groom mounted in the saddle may walk the horse on a long rein, and that lunging and assistance from the ground by someone other than the competitor/competitors are permitted.

In other words, this "One Rider" rule applies for all CDI entries, including USEF and NAYRC qualifying competitors, from the four days preceding the first competition, and continuing for the duration of the event.

Of course, one of the really good parts of being a competitor is the parties! So here is a list of the ones the might interest you during the weekend:

	There will be a Sponsor and Competitor Party on Friday evening, before the evening classes in the Grand Prix Club area in the main arena. All competitors and sponsors are invited. Additional tickets may be purchased for from the NCDCTA Benefit Booth in the Trade Fair area. Competitors should bring their bridle numbers for a chance to win a door prize. You must be present and have your number in your hand to win.
	Complimentary breakfast coffee and pastries available all show days from 6:30-9:30am in the "Hospitality Barn" located next to the Farrier's shop
