• Sequoia Arena is located in the Oakland Hills in Joaquin Miller Park, surrounded by pine trees. The climate is almost always temperate; it can be foggy. The arena and warmup area footing is standard with sand and dirt. There are bleachers next to the arena. This is an outdoor arena, so weather is a factor in determining if the show will be held.

• Trailer parking is in the meadow amongst the Redwoods. We will have parking assistance for you. Please be sure to park close to (but at a safe distance from) other rigs so there is room for everyone.

• Show begins at 9:00 am. The warm up arena opens at 8:00 am. Warm-up fences will be available in the warm-up area and our warm-up classes will help you get going. Lungeing is permitted in the warm-uparea only if there are no riders present. Riders and trainers may walk the course between 8:00 am and 9:00 am and quickly during jump crew height adjustments.

• Classes will be split by age if entries warrant and may be canceled or combined if fewer than three entries.
