The Bucks County Horse Park is a unique facility dedicated to the preservation of open space for amateur equestrian pursuits amid the ever-increasing and rapid loss of land to development purposes. Established as a private, non-profit corporation in 1991, BCHP has grown to a facility in excess of 1000 acres with over 30 miles of riding, carriage, hiking, jogging, and bicycle trails many suitable for use in all major equestrian disciplines including hunter, dressage, combined training, western pleasure, driving, and of course, pleasure trail riding. Facilities include two all-weather dressage rings, two fenced all-purpose show rings, a pre-novice through training level cross-country course, three polo fields, secretary stand, and a 120-seat pavilion/club house. For more information about the BCHP, please visit our website at: www.buckscountyhorsepark.org View our 2005 show schedule, prize lists, show results, complete directions, and more! Directions to the Bucks County Horse Park The BCHP is located on Rt. 611 between the villages of Revere and Ferndale. If approaching from the south, the Park entrance is 1/2 mile north of the village center of Revere, on the left side of Rt. 611. If coming from the north, the Park entrance is less than a mile south of Ferndale on the right. Look for the green and white sign! (See logo above) From Chester and Lancaster Counties, PA and South Jersey on the PA Turnpike: Take the Pennsylvania Turnpike to Exit 27, Willow Grove. This exit is Rt. 611. Head north on Rt. 611; the Park is approx. 30 miles north of the exit. Your halfway point will be Doylestown, PA. As you approach Revere, you will have to slow as Rt. 611 makes a sharp S type turn in the center of Revere. Stay to the left on Rt. 611. The Park entrance is approx. 1/2 mile down Rt. 611 on the left. From Central Jersey: Cross the Delaware River to PA on the Rt. 202 toll bridge and continue on 202 through Lahaska to Buckingham where you will pick up Rt. 413 north. Continue on Rt. 413 where you will see signs at a stop sign for Rt. 611 north. Due to hilly terrain you will be directed to turn left, and then turn right, and then another right onto Rt. 611 north. Follow above directions to Park entrance. From North Jersey, Easton and I-78: Exit I-78 at Rt. 611. Pick up Rt. 611 south in Easton. Head south on Rt. 611 for approx. 14 miles along the Delaware River. In Kintnersville, Rt. 611 south bears off to the right, while Rt. 32 becomes the river route. Stay on Rt. 611 south for approx. 5 miles. The Park entrance will be on your right as you come around a slight curve. From Philadelphia: Follow Broad Street/Rt. 611 north until Willow Grove and follow directions for the PA Turnpike; or head north on I-95 to the Newtown exit and take Rt. 332 west and pick up Rt. 413 north to Buckingham. See directions for Central Jersey. Page 13

Reasons for Elimination: Racing or endangering another vehicle or spectator. Failure to cross the start line within 1 minute of signal. Starting before signal. Failure to drive the prescribed course. Failure to correctly drive each obstacle on course. Failure to cross the finish line. Circling, driving serpentines, and walking and stopping to average time. Outside assistance (other than navigator/groom indicating the route). Breakage of harness or vehicle. Gambler's Choice To be driven over a course of unnumbered obstacles each carrying a specific point value. Each driver has the same amount of time to negotiate as many obstacles as possible. After passing through the starting line, the driver may drive through the obstacles in any order, from any direction. Each obstacle may be driven twice only, but not in succession. No obstacle may be redriven once it has been disturbed (Exception: obstacles which are designed to be knocked down). No points will be awarded for an incorrectly completed obstacle. If the obstacle is incorrectly driven, but not disturbed, it may be attempted again. The circling rule does not apply. If a horse should refuse or run out at an obstacle without disturbing it, the driver may elect not to attempt it and may drive another obstacle without penalty. The obstacle may be attempted later, and if driven correctly, the appropriate points will be recorded. A signal will sound at the end of the allotted time and the driver must exit through the finish markers for total time to be recorded. If the signal sounds when the driver is committed to an obstacle, the competitor may complete it and receive the appropriate points, then proceed to the finish markers for the total time to be recorded. Placings are determined on a high score basis. Time will decide ties. If a tie occurs in both points and time, the winner will be decided by a drive-off. Coach Dog Turnout A non-ads-recognized fun driving class in which entries will be judged primarily on the suitability of the dog to serve as a companion. One dog per carriage; any breed. To be judged both ways of the arena; judge may call all pleasure driving gaits. The dog may be seated or standing in the carriage, or running behind, beside, or beneath the carriage, but must be under control at all times. The dog may not be restrained by being tied to the carriage, or to the driver. The dog may not be held by the driver, or interfere with the driver in any way. To be judged: 60% on the performance, behavior, manners, and attitude of the dog; 30% on the performance, manners, and way of going of the horse(s); and 10% on the overall impression of the turnout including the dog. 50/50 Break & Out A non-ads-recognized fun driving class. This will be a driven Command Class in which the judge will call out various commands that must be executed by the horse and driver immediately. Commands will include (but are not limited to) slow trot, working trot, extended trot, walk, halt, reverse, back, etc. Any turnout that does not perform the required command immediately will be eliminated. Last turnout in the ring wins a cash prize of 50 percent of the entry fees collected for that class. No ribbons or points will be awarded for this class. First place winner only. The decision of the judge and/or his delegated spotters is final. Concours d'elegance (To be judged throughout the show.) The word elegance is the essence of this competition. The winner will be the turnout which, in the opinion of the Judges, presents the most elegant effect (vehicle, appointments, harness, animal(s), driver, groom(s), etc.). Above all, general impression is most important. Period costumes are prohibited. Performance is not judged unless it detracts from the elegance of the turnout. Bucks County Horse Park presents...
