Youll receive a tentative schedule in the mail about 3 weeks or so before you head to worlds. It will have draw and stall numbers on them, ( they will also be posted on nbharesults.com ) and have a schedule explaining when each go starts, what draws they will run to each day, and other activities throughout the week, such as trick-or-trot, etc.

Trick-or-trot is a ton of fun! I believe you sign up at the "office" table in the main arena if you would like to participate, and you can dress you and your horse as whatever youd like! It's a lot of fun to watch!! They also hold a country race, where they have a few top riders from each country run against one another on random horses, the coke race, etc.

When you arrive on grounds there will be staff who take you to your stalls and your camper parking if you are staying on site for the week. But you will know all of your info before hand. BE SURE to bring the envelope and all of its contents that you recieved in the mail with you, they'll ask for it when entering the grounds! :)

Thanks! I have one who doesn't need open arena or exhibitions, and one who isn't as seasoned, so I like to get her in there to trot a pattern or see the pen - but if there are a lot of horses, not sure she will really get a feel of the pen anyway. So if I don't run til Monday - I don't have to check in til then? Saw "registration" for Sat/Sun - is that for late enters? Thanks and sorry for all the questions!!

TessBelle - 2014-09-09 1:43 AM But if you forget you envelope like I did one year... Don't panic lol. Regardless of what your "friend" tells you, they will still let you check in without it. I stressed and cried for 2 days trying to figure out how I was going to get it from my kitchen table to Jackson Ms. so they would let me check in. Lesson Learned. Trick-or-Trot is lots of fun..... Halloween night in General is fun lol. If your into this kind of stuff there had been being a Haunted Barn just down from the arena that people said was awesome but it wasn't there last year. All this stuff will make a lot more sense once you get your information packet in the mail. I remember my first year of Youth World(wasn't allowed to go to open world until after I graduated high school) and I was soooo confused on how everything worked. But once I saw it in writing it made way more sense. At least Perry is safe though. We had never been to Jackson until that year and a couple weeks before we had a meeting at a show for all YW contestants. All we had been told was how dangerious Jackson is. When our director said he better not catch any of us out walking around outside without using the buddy system or after dark without a adult. I was seriously terrified. Like I told someone else, World will be what you make it. You either go and have the time of your life or go and be miserable the whole time. Some people I know absolutely hate it because they let every little thing get on there nerves like all the golf carts that almost run you over or people unplugging your fans and plugging in theres(FYI duct tape will fix that problem) or the people beside you that party none stop. Just go and have fun and I promise you'll be back next year.

Some people use the 21 race as a really expensive exhibition. It is a 5D, so you still have a shot even if you mess up a little, and it gets them in the pen.
