Meadowlark North has never hosted winter shows at this venue before. I will be attending them though as I board right next door  |

Ill be going to a Meadowlarke show this month hopefully(fingers crossed). Facility looks really well done with lots of waiting room, and its super close to me as well. If you have been to a few Iron horse shows before you can switch up the venues and see how M.N is.

Went to IH this weekend. All in all, a good show.
Couple of call outs.
1 - Jumps were TINY! the 2'6" were maybe 2'3" the meters were maybe 3'. Wish they would have been a little higher, but understand it being the first show.
2 - My coach and I were told the night before that the 1.0m would be starting around 11am...got to the show and was told 11:40am...not a big dea....but we actually did not start until 1:30pm. Made for an unbelievably long day.
3 - Waaay too much congestion in the warm-up ring. Almost unsafe. People were calling "oxer" but both jumps were oxers...LOL
4 - The ingate asked for everyone to go in an order. People who were at the top of the order couldn't warm up over jumps in the warm-up ring because people from the bottom of the order were warming up. I don't know how many times they had to hold the ring for the top of the order people. Perhaps why it took 2 and a half hours for first division :-P
But as I said, all in all a good show
I'll be returning...but I'll sleep in next time ;-)

I attended the Meadowlarke North jumper show this month! It was well pretty well run, small classes, friendly people. Well set courses with a good mix of maxed/non maxed jumps.
I did the first division of the day, and the first class in the second division. So I'm not really sure what the turnout was like later in the day. I prefer the smaller shows for winter schooling (and it's right next door so no trailer necessary!!)

Some people from my barn went to Meadowlarke North a couple weeks ago and seemed to enjoy it... Everyone came back with smiles, and they said the facilities were really nice!
