Is there a parking fee to get in tonight?  What is the amount and what would be a  good time to show up?  Thanks for any input.

Online coverage from the USEF network starts at 7 ... It will be crowded so go early to get a good seat.  Should be $20 per car for parking.  I have not heard or read anything different.  One of the best classes ... Hope you have fun.

Online is great if you can't attend but its soooo much better sitting there live.  It should be televised in my strong opinion.
 I thought it was by the car no matter how many people are in it.
 There all so pretty and turned out and I just wish I was in it too.   We can dream you know...... Just give us some time....
Best wishes to all of the riders and horses and thanks for the reply.

I had the best time chatting with one of the out of town moms of young hunters.  The kids who do these circuits must be the luckiest ones on the planet.  She knew everybody and made it even more fun for me the spectator.

 But her and I both had a similar thought on the course.  Where were all the flowers or plants or pretty props?  There was one beautiful bamboo jump from where we sat.  (It is Palm Beach......)    The horses and riders were just beautiful and turned out to the hilt.  I just wish the beauty of the course was a little more up to par...

Hunter courses never have flowers.  The course is made to look like you are riding on trails through the woods.  You always find flowers on the jumper courses.

Well, I'm sorry if I was a little out of order with regard to Aesthetics. 

The year Jersey Boy won the big hunter derby and channel 44 televised it, it was just all so pretty and exciting to take in.  That was my first ever derby to watch and i'll probably never forget it.  I guess the derbies are the ticket for getting to see the ramp and platform used etc etc. Maybe with more shrubbery too?
