Cross Country Schooling Procedure:

In conjunction with the three Waredaca hosted USEA Horse Trials and two "Starter" events, Waredaca offers opportunities for riders to practice and school their horses on many of Waredaca's cross country courses.

Cross-Country schooling is available weather (and ground conditions) permitting. The courses close 6 weeks before each horse trial and reopen immediately after each show, ALL SUBJECT TO GROUND CONDITIONS.

If you are interested in Cross Country Schooling, please contact the office at 301-570-4191 to schedule a schooling day/time. Waredaca is a busy place especially during the summer months, therefore advance notice is necessary.

Cost is $50.00 per horse except for the 2 official schooling days ( usually the Tuesday after the weekend June and August recognized event) when all courses are open and the week immediately following the event when all portables remain in position. The fee for this period is $65/horse.

Riders must wear an ASTM/SEI approved helmet and body protector. A medical armband is recommended. Riders may NOT school alone AND must either have grounds person or additional rider present.  NO EMS or farrier on site other than when specified.

OTHER THAN OFFICIAL SCHOOLING DAYS, WHEN YOU CALL AND RESERVE A DAY/TIME, PLAN TO:

• Go past the corner parking field and main Waredaca drive and turn into our paved West entrance location just before the sharp bend in Damascus road.
• Park in the gravel area. DO NOT BLOCK ACCESS TO BOARDER'S TRAILERS. OUR BOARDERS MUST BE ABLE TO GET TRAILERS OUT AND BRING TRAILERS BACK TO THEIR PARKING SPOTS.
• In the tan shed you will find clipboards with blank and signed releases and a money box on the wall.
• Download, complete, and bring the release form and place your check or cash in the lock box.
• Proceed out, leaving gates either open or closed as you found them.
• When finished, there is a hose by the tan shed for washing off.
• Please do not leave manure/bedding in the drive way or in the bushes!
• Thanks for leaving the area neat and clean.
