SHOULD I WAIT FOR THE CLOSING DATE TO ENTER A SHOW?
Dressage shows have opening dates - entries can be received starting on the opening date.
Dressage shows have closing dates - entries usually cannot be received after midnight of the closing date. However, if the show fills before the closing date, the show will close early.
Most FADS shows can take a limited number of rides. For example, if a farm has one show arena, when a full day of rides have been entered in the show, no more rides can be accepted and the show is closed. This can occur BEFORE the closing date. Therefore, a show might close before the closing date. If you really want to participate in the show, it is best to NOT wait for the closing date to enter the show.
