Volunteers Needed!Click Here to download a 2010 Volunteer Form. Summer is here, so it’s time to think about volunteering to make the 2010 Richland Park Horse Trials better than ever before! We have been blessed each year with committed, energetic volunteers and are looking for another dedicated group of volunteers. Please consider volunteering for any of the many roles that are available in order to contribute to this fabulous event. There are many benefits to helping out at Richland Park; the most significant one is being able to work closely with the competitors and horses on the beautiful grounds. Each volunteer will be invited to the volunteer bbq on Sunday August 16 where they will receive this year’s volunteer t-shirt. During the competition a generous sponsor is providing Subway sandwiches for lunch as well as chips and snacks and beverages.
Thursday and Friday we will need our dressage volunteers between the hours of 7:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. and are looking for scribes, ring stewards, bit check, gate keepers, and score runners. Both Saturday and Sunday we are looking for committed jump judges for Cross Country where you will have the best seat in the house where you can watch these beautiful athletes do what they love to do: gallop and jump cross country. Time commitment for cross-country jump judges is 7:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m on Saturday and 7:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. Also on Saturday and Sunday we will need show jump personnel consisting of warm-up stewards, in gate, timers, jump crew and a scribe. Time commitment for show jumping is 9:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m.
A heartfelt thank you!!!!! Kay & Bob |

Once again we are offering the exciting international levels,
CIC 3 *** and CIC 2 **, as well as Advanced through Novice. We
expect 350 horse and rider combinations and will run over four
days, Thursday August 26 through Sunday August 29. The international
classes will perform their dressage test on Thursday August 26,
while all remaining dressage will be on Friday August 27. Saturday
will feature both cross country and show jumping with the CIC 3
*** through Preliminary competing in the cross country phase and
the Training and Novice competing in the show jumping phase. The
competition will conclude on Sunday with the CIC 3 *** through
Preliminary competing in the show jumping phase while the Training
and Novice compete in the cross country phase. 
Additionally we are looking for volunteers to assist with the
first and third horse inspections on Wednesday and Sunday. I am
also looking for someone who will be available each day to post
scores on a regular basis. I would also like to find a volunteer
who is responsible for judges’ hospitality who keeps the
judges and various other officials goodie baskets full and their
beverage coolers stocked each day. Please let me know where you
would like to help and we will do our best to place you there.
It would be helpful if you indicate a second choice as some of
the positions fill quickly. If you aren’t sure what you would
like to do, just indicate which days you want to help and we will
find something for you. Every year I have my annual panic attack
when I don’t think I have enough volunteers to cover all
days and jobs, so please ease my mind and reduce my stress level
and let me know you will be able to help. Please contact me if
you have any questions about positions and duties required. Thank
you for helping make the 2009 Richland Park Horse Trials another
success.
