• ON SITE STABLING: All who requested Stabling will be assigned a horse stall and 1/2 of another shared stall for tack.   If you have a request as to a tack stall partner, please send to Gretchen via email: GRETCHEN@WAREDACA.COM before the 15th.

• For those who did NOT request stabling and wish to purchase a DAY STALL, this can be arranged for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The cost is $50/day; you are responsible for your bedding and stall cleaning. Arrange this thru Gretchen/Email in advance so assignments can be made.

• ANYONE USING A STALL MUST PROVIDE A $50 MUCK DEPOSIT CHECK WITH CINDY WOOD UPON ARRIVAL IF YOU ARE HAVE NOT ALREADY SENT ONE TO THE WAREDACA OFFICE.

• Upon arrival, an Area 2 volunteer will greet and assist you with your specific stall assignment and orientation to the stabling area. Pack thoughtfully as your gear will need to be transported to your stall via utility vehicles and trucks; you will not be able to off load from your trailer directly next to your stall. You will also receive a participant packet with lots of information as you begin your Training 3 Day experience!

• WHAT TO BRING: All of your personal gear and equipment plus whatever is needed for your horse and his stabling. Don’t forget rain gear! Remember that protective headgear is required at all times when mounted. AND your horse must always wear an identification number when out of his stall—ie bridle number. Bring a portable CHAIR as well, for the briefings, meetings, some of the seminars etc.

• No bedding is supplied. You can pre-order bedding ($8/bag) via Email (Gretchen@waredaca.com) which will be delivered to your stall prior to your arrival IF we have received your payment in advance; if not, they will be delivered upon payment.       Otherwise, plan to bring your bedding, plus wheelbarrow, hay, feed, muck equipment, buckets, hooks, baling twine and so on. You can also purchase bedding while here from Rob Lang; contact Cindy Wood for this OR Email the address above. The mobile Bit of Britain tack trailer will be on site although their arrival time is still uncertain whether it be Thursday or Friday.

• FOOD:       Area 2 has done a great job of providing dinner for you on Wednesday and Thursday evenings PLUS a Friday afternoon Beverage and Cheese ‘Social’. The dress code is comfortable and casual. Each rider gets one free ticket.

Additional dinner tickets may be available for purchase from Cindy W. If tickets are pre ordered via Email (Gretchen@waredaca.com) no later than October 15, the cost is $20 each; if purchased upon arrival, subject to availability, the cost is $30 each—no exceptions.

• LUNCH:       Assigned Volunteers will be provided with lunch. Everyone else has several options. You may drive to a lunch source, the closest place being one mile away (the local ‘greasy spoon’ with top notch burgers) or an Italian restaurant (3 miles away) or a carry out deli (4 miles away)—directions will be included in your packet.   Sorry but no commercial deliveries out here!

• WHAT NOT TO BRING: We love ‘em and have seven who live here and call Waredaca their rightful home but please consider leaving your dog at his home.       If they accompany you, they must be leashed at ALL TIMES-NO EXCEPTIONS.            

• Bikes, that is the non-motorized types are allowed to go anywhere on the property.       Motorized bikes are not.       All transit between Stabling and the Waredaca Camphouse, site of our evening dinners) must be on the paved road and not across the fields unless you are walking.
