What is a Stakes Class?
People often complain that in dressage there’s no way to win back your entry fees. Well, now there is! We are offering Stakes/Money classes for a $10 upgrade to your standard entry fee per test. Stakes class entrants can will part of the “POT” of money which is accrued from upgrade fees as well as Sponsor contributions. Some of our past winners have taken home more than $100 a show!
Stakes Classes are guaranteed to pay through 4th place. If entries warrant, more places will pay out. Money added for all Stakes Classes courtesy of our Sponsors.
Payout:
1st – 40%
2nd – 30%
