I recommend you arrive at least an hour before the start to vet in and let Go Mare relax a few minutes..Don't forget to warm her up also..! That ride will be a controlled start for the first couple miles, so warm up is not that critical..but a few times around the park is still a good idea.

I looked through the aerc rules hand book and did find a reference to my question. So, I thought I would as the experts. I live about 17miles from the next ride. "Gold country 30/50 July 5th Georgetown. After you vet in with your horse do you have to stay? I hate camping and would rather sleep in my own bed. I would arrive with my horse tacked up say 30 min before the departure time. Is that allowed? There are several rides in both Placer and El Dorado counties that are a very short drive it seems senseless to have to spend the night if you do not have to.
