WEATHER

Northern California in the spring has unpredictable weather. Come prepared for everything from 40 degrees to 90 degrees, with rain, sun or hail - occasionally all in one day! The Head of Jury will determine if rainware is acceptable for dressage and cones. The decision will be announced and posted. We're shooting for lovely warm (but not too hot) weather...

| back to top |

We, the participants of The Vineyard Classic CDE, are on private property, a working farm and boarding facility, as guests. Our generous hosts have provided trails, tracks, a dressage court with adjacent warm-up areas and obstacles for us to enjoy.

As guests, we need to respect this property and the people who work and board here by obeying the rules established to protect the property and us.

Please be sure to observe the speed limits, stay out of restricted areas, and keep your dogs on leash and quiet. This is for the safety and enjoyment of all.

Thank you.
