Why
is the wait between the dressage and cones so short?
In a national competition the wait would be 24 hours.
Our competitions are often larger than some nationals.
We have to group the horse classes and pony classes
together to ease the burden on the cones officials.
From 11 a.m. often to 5.30 p.m. they work continuously.
The wait will be as short as logistically possible.
You can always ask the cones marshal if the Judge
will take you later.

Why
do the cones not start earlier?
The dressage arena taking tests approximately 10 minutes
long folding down to 1 cones course taking a 2-3 minute
test; you need to create a small back-log of competitors
to make the cones work smoothly.
