BITS EQ CHALLANGE - More riders - UPDATED

[Gwen]

We are allowing 7 more riders in the youth division and 8 more in the open division. I am going to take one youth spot and 1 open spot, leaving this:

6 spots open for youth riders and 7 for open riders. I am going to let eveyone that wants to submit another rider or anyone who wants to submit a new rider on the boards submit ONE MORE rider by Friday. Then, if there are more spots, they can be divied up further.

Remember, this is the form and all riders must compete in ALL CLASSES in a division.

A little bit more about the rider: He's a western rider, through and through. Never ridden english before now. So it should be interesting to see how he fares... but he's pretty confident, and picked up on everything so fast I'm pretty jealous of how naturally riding comes to him.

If no one else wants that last youth spot, I'll take it - but I'd rather give someone else the opportunity as I've already entered quite a few youth.

Someone needs to take the last spot in the BEC by Saturday morning at 10 AM. Otherwise I will when I close entries :-D
