arena are encouraged. Bring lances and swords for the games if you
have them. Bring a section of garden hose so we can get water to the
horses.

Horse Owners:
-Those bringing horses MUST provide present proof of negative Coggins
test before their horse may be unloaded from the trailer. Those
crossing state lines must also provide a health certificate from their
Veterinary.
-Stallions are allowed, but owners must notify MOTH prior to the event
and they must be marked with yellow tassels or ribbons.  Known kickers
and biters are not allowed. Green horses may be marked with green
tassels or ribbons.
-Horse owners need to bring buckets, 1 section garden hose to run a
line to the tourney field. Forks, pickers and wheel borrows are not
available at the site. We suggest you bring some if possible.
-You may camp with your horse at the site. There are a few trees for
picketing from tree to your trailer. Electric tape enclosures may be
used if your horse is used to such enclosures. You must mark each side
of the enclosure with a sign warning people it is electrified. Those
who keep their horse on-site overnight must camp near enough to the
horses to see and hear them.

MD 3. Go 10 miles then take US-301 South exit. Go 11 miles then turn
left onto MD-382/Croom Rd. Look for the Patuxent River Park sign and

is on the right. Trailer parking is along the fence on either side or
along tree line to your immediate right as you enter the site.  (See
