Opening Date: June 3     'Early Bird' Discount ENDS  June 10th                     Closing Date: June 17

Notes to Competitors:

We are happy to announce that the Stone Gate Farm Mini Trials are the first unrecognized events in the country to be run through the USEA's Xentry and Show Connect data entry and scoring system.  Unfortunately it took the USEA's IT people longer than anticipated to integrate the needs of the unrecognized events with X-entry and Show Connect so our entry window is only 2 weeks. Please read the Omnibus carefully to be sure your entry is  complete and correct. We will still be offering an 'early bird' discount which will end on June 10th for complete and correct entries.  You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your entry, be sure to check your entry status to make sure your entry is complete as any 'early bird' entry that is not complete by June 10th will be assessed a $20 late fee.  Any entry that is not complete by closing date will be assessed a $20 late fee.  We are not doing this to make money, we are trying to incentivize you to get your entry complete and correct submitted in a timely fashion.  To those who send in complete and correct entries, thank you! For those who owe money for whatever reason, please us the Addition Fees link. 

Those who are members of the USEA and already are familiar with Xentry, this will be a seemless transition.  For those who are NOT USEA members you will have to set up an account and register your horse.  There is no charge for a 'restricted' status. Once you are set up you will find X-entry much more user freindly.  NEW: Notes from the USEA on setting up an account and registering  a horse
