Winterfest kicks off with a 24-hour cart race that begins on Tuesday at 8pm and ends on Wednesday at 8pm. Runs are limited to 20.

Ribbons will be awarded to all participants, with special place ribbons for the top ten.

Frosty’s Revenge is three laps of twisty, windy road through a snow-covered pine forest. The road seems clear, but be careful; lurking in the trees are snowmen who do not seem happy to see you…

“Glacier Lake”
Slalom Race
Heat 1: Friday, January 19, 11am-1pm
Heat 2: Friday, January 19, 5pm-7pm
Blackwater Competition Stadium

Glacier Lake is an icy, slippery slalom course across a frozen lake… But be careful, the ice is broken in spots and don’t touch the water! This is a live race in two heats. The first heat is on Friday, January 19 from 11am-1pm. The second heat is on Friday, January 19 from 5pm-7pm. Each pony can run in one of the heats, but not both. Ribbons will be awarded for each heat, and for the overall results. The course will be open for practice at the Blackwater Competition Stadium commencing January 1.

Glacier Lake at Blackwater Farm. One wonders what creatures lurk in its depths, and whether they will awaken in the spring…

Silent Dressage Competition
Saturday, January 20, 10am
Blackwater Old Stadium

The silent dressage competition will be hosted in the Old Blackwater Stadium on Saturday, January 20 at 10am. The event is expected to run roughly 1-2 two hours. This is a judged event. The competition will be in the traverse style.

The rules for silent dressage in the traverse style, as they are used at Blackwater Farm, are located here. Please be familiar with those rules. We understand that the rules may be different at other farms. The competition will be judged according to the Blackwater Farm rules.

The specific judging protocol used by Blackwater Farm can be found here.

The pre-registration form can be found here.

Pre-registration is not required; ponies who simply “show up” at the competition are welcome to participate. However, pre-registration is encouraged to help make the event run as smoothly as possible.

Ponies without trainers are welcome to compete. If you do not have a trainer, but wish to compete as a pony, Blackwater Farm will supply a trainer for you who is familiar with the traverse style of dressage and the competition rules.

If you wish to learn silent dressage (or brush up on your skills), you can find a helpful guide here.

If you need a place to practice silent dressage, you can practice at the Blackwater Dressage Fields. The field used for silent dressage at that location is the same field that will be used in the competition.

Ribbons will be awarded to all participants, with special place ribbons awarded to the top ten finishers.
