A few things to keep in mind when you visit an event:
- Events in BC are free to watch for the public. Come and cheer the riders on! (Find out more about scoring here!)
- Some events may have a printed program and a course map so you can follow along with each rider. When you arrive, head to the show office to pick up. If a program is not available, you can still follow along by going online to StartBoxscoring.com and finding the rider list.
- Most events allow dogs, but all must be kept leashed at all times and under a watchful eye. Loose or barking dogs can create very dangerous situations.
- Horses have the right of way at all times and riders are focused on their task so be sure to stay out of the way. Sudden movements may startle the horse.
- Outside assistance is not allowed for the competitors while they are in the ring or on course so cheer them on, but don’t offer any advice. They could be eliminated.
- Most events have food for available for purchase, but also feel free to bring a picnic and enjoy the day.
