Harvest Moon Carriage Classic

Iowa’s Only Carriage Driving Pleasure Show

 

It is the end of summer, the time of bounty.  A big harvest moon is shining down on the beautiful grounds of Living History Farms, bathing 300 years of history in its soft, rich light.  Here in the Hawkeye State, harvest is a time to gather with friends and celebrate accomplishments, while swapping stories and planning for another year.

 

We invite you to Iowa and to the Harvest Moon to participate in, and perpetuate the traditions of carriage driving.  To begin or renew friendships with people and ponies, horses and dogs, to wind down a busy season of competition or to dream of hitching up next year.  Won’t you join us in celebration under the Harvest Moon?

 

 

The Harvest Moon Carriage Classic is held at Living History Farms, a living, working agricultural museum, as a part of their annual Horse and Buggy Days weekend.  A heartfelt thanks to Living History Farms for hosting the Harvest Moon on the Farms’ historic and award winning grounds, to Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino for their corporate sponsorship toward Horse and Buggy Days, and to Trudie Wood, Living History Farms’ Event Organizer, for working with us to bring it all together.

 

 

Our sincere gratitude to those who imagined this show, then made it real.

SPECIAL CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

 

Parade through Walnut Hill

As a part of Horse and Buggy Days, Living History Farms invites all turnouts to participate in the horse drawn parade each day through the 1875 town of Walnut Hill (located in the same area as the show grounds).  We shut down the show during this time to allow competitors the opportunity to participate.  This is a low key parade for participants and is very much appreciated by visitors to the Farms.  Spectators line up on both sides of the street; participants go up the street one turnout at a time as they are introduced and something is said about their entry. (Participants supply this information.) A prize is given each day for the “People’s Choice” as determined by a vote of the spectators and will be awarded by Living History Farms at the Awards Ceremony.  Don’t miss this enjoyable opportunity.  Indicate your desire to participate on your entry form and a participation sheet will be placed in your competitor’s packet when you arrive at the show.

 

Picnic Class (Immediately following the Parade)

Entries will be judged on the overall impression of their turnout, including horse(s), carriage, harness, driver, passengers, and historical representation, as well as their picnic “spread”.  Horses must be removed from the carriage and are expected to stand quietly during the picnic.  Living History Farms’ dignitaries will judge this class and awards by the Farm will be presented at the Awards Ceremony.  Indicate your desire to participate on your entry form and a participation sheet will be placed in your competitor’s packet when you arrive at the show.

 

Carriage-less Horse Test

The driver will ground drive his/her horse(s) around a designated course, using either harness reins or long lines.  The horse(s) will be in full harness (open bridle is acceptable; collar, breast strap and traces are optional).  Driver must be in show attire, no apron, and must carry a whip.  There will be 10 tasks to complete which may include, but is not limited to, walking, backing, trotting a circle, and halting.  Entries will be judged on their skill, use of aids, and quality of transitions while maneuvering through obstacles.

 

Carriage Horse In Hand

This class is open to any equine, irregardless of age, who is, or will become, a carriage horse (pony, donkey, hinny, mule, etc.).  The class will be judged “form to function”, that is, based on conformation and movement appropriate to driving horses.  Entries will show in hand, at the walk and trot. 

 

Carriage Dog Class

Entries will be “subjectively” judged by show officials and turnouts will be asked to perform both ways of the ring at a walk and trot and line up.  Grooming and good behavior are important, as well as overall impression and appropriateness of dog to carriage and overall turnout.  The dog may run behind, beside or at the axle of the carriage, but the dog must be under control at all times.  The dog may not be restrained by being tied to the carriage or driver.  The driver may not hold the dog, and the dog may not interfere with the driver in any way.  Competitors are asked to assure that their carriage dogs will ride in their carriage safely and politely and that their horses are tolerant of these proceedings.

 

Reverse Psychology 

This will be driven over a numbered cones obstacle course.  After passing through the designated finish line, the course will be driven in reverse order.  The course will be numbered for both directions.  Course faults are scored as penalty seconds (or elimination) and are added to the driver’s elapsed time.  Placings are determined on a low total time basis.

 

Town and Country

This is a timed obstacles course.  Obstacles are set at 79 ½ inches for all competitors.  The course will contain obstacles that would be encountered while out driving through town or country, using items similar to those we use in our cross country course.  Course faults are scored as penalty seconds (or elimination) and are added to the driver’s elapsed time.  Placings are determined on a low total time basis.

 

Ladies to Drive

Female competitors from any division may show in this class for the ladies.  It is judged as a working pleasure class.  See ADS rules for details.

 

Gentlemen to Drive

Male competitors from any division may show in this class for the gentlemen.  It is judged as a working pleasure class.  See ADS rules for details.

 

Designer  Reinsmanship

This class allows each competitor to design his or her own test which will be driven individually.  Each entry is given up to 3 minutes to perform their test.  At 3 minutes, a signal will sound and the contestant must leave the ring immediately.  Only points for completed movements will count toward the final score. When the first entry for your class enters the ring, the remaining entries are to enter the ring immediately as their number is called.  Time starts when the horse’s nose passes through the set of start markers and ends at the conclusion of each test, or at the signal, whichever comes first.  Other than the salute at the end, it does not matter in what order the elements are performed or what direction the turnout travels.  Optional:  you may provide your own music (CD or cassette tape), with stipulations:  it must be at the announcer’s wagon BEFORE the first entry is in the ring for your class; driver’s name and number on it, tape must be queued properly, proper side indicated, or which song number on the CD.  We will do our best to provide your music, but you should be prepared to compete without it.  Entries will be judged on their skill, use of aids, quality of transitions and overall performance in executing the following required elements:

 

·         Walk

·         Slow Trot

·         Working Trot

·         Strong Trot

·         Halt

·         Stand Quietly

·         Reinback

·         A figure of 8 at the working trot (one handed for open drivers, two handed for novice whip or novice horse/pony)

·         Salute judge at conclusion of test

·         Overall impression

 

Each element is given a 10 point value for a total perfect score of 100.  Degree of difficulty will decide ties.

 

 

Concours d’Elegance

Throughout the show, one turnout in each division will be selected by show officials as the most elegant, and of these, a final selection representing each division will be invited by the Show Organizer to participate in the Concours d’Elegance, the final ring class on Sunday. 

 

10.   Ring classes and obstacle classes will run simultaneously.  Ring classes will have precedence.   Competitors should report to their obstacle classes early in the time block to assure they get them driven.  Once the closing time arrives for an obstacle class, no one else will be allowed to drive it, so plan accordingly.  There should be ample time to get all your courses driven, but if you are pressed for time, let an obstacle official know this so they can work you in.

 

11.   The Cross Country course will be approximately 1 mile in length.

 

12.   Tentative course maps will be available Friday by 4 p.m. but will not become official until final inspection by show officials.  There will be a Question & Answer session Friday evening at 6:00 p.m.  There will be no official course walk but courses will be open to walk in accordance with the times outlined on the tentative show schedule.  No horses will be allowed on the courses at any time other than during competition.

 

13.   No unauthorized motorized vehicles will be allowed on the courses.  (Those with physical disabilities, contact Show Organizer in advance.)

 

14.   All pertinent information will be reviewed, and if necessary, distributed, at the Question & Answer session Friday at 6:00 p.m.  Any last minute revisions will be announced at this time as well.  It is your responsibility to attend this session as the information will only be presented once.

 

15.   Competitors are encouraged to participate in the Horse and Buggy Days Parade on Main Street each day starting at 1:00 p.m.

 

16.   Picnic Class participants will drive to the Flynn Mansion immediately following the parade to begin their class.

 

17.   Living History Farms will allow carriages to travel on the roadways throughout the Farms’ 600 acres.  (The Farms are located on both sides of the Interstate.  Travel to the other side is accessed by passing through a dark tunnel under the Interstate with traffic noise overhead.  The horses are generally accepting of this but drivers should be skilled before attempting.)  Living History Farms requests that the following observances be adhered to while traveling throughout the Farms:

 

§         Walk your horses/ponies ONLY while on Main Street (in the 1875 town of Walnut Hill)

 

§         Yield to pedestrians.  Living History Farms is open to the public throughout the weekend and many people will be coming to see the horses and carriages.  However, most visitors to the Farms DO NOT UNDERSTAND horse behavior, so drivers are to use EXTREME caution while traveling in areas where there are visitors. Many visitors will ask questions of drivers about their horses, carriages, and the show, so this will be a great opportunity to promote carriage driving to the general public and give them a glimpse of another time.  Although Living History Farms does not discourage Horse and Buggy participants from giving rides to Farm visitors, competitors in the Harvest Moon Carriage Classic are NOT allowed to give rides to the general public.  If anyone rides in your carriage, including anyone in your entourage, you must have on file with the Harvest Moon Show Secretary a written release, signed by each person riding, prior to the ride.

 

§         Entering interpretive farm sites is not allowed—this would include the Ioway Indian Village, the 1850 Pioneer Farm and the 1900 Farm, all on the west side of the Interstate. You may drive on the road that goes near the sites.

 

§         Any roads or paths that are blocked off with traffic cones are not to be entered by horses.

 

§         Tractors towing transport trailers (that carry visitors) have the right of way—horses should be seasoned to such equipment.

 

18.   Novice drivers may be subject to a safety check by show officials prior to their first entry into the ring or on course, if there is any question of safety of the turnout.

 

19.   Animals must be sound and in good health.  ALL horses must present a health certificate (within 30 days of the show) and additionally, out of state horses must present a negative Coggins (within 12 months of the show).  A copy of the Coggins is to be sent with the show entry.  Health certificate and original Coggins are to be presented upon arrival. 

 

20.   Dogs will be welcomed at this show if they are “good citizens”.  Others may be asked to leave.  Please clean up after your dogs; if complaints indicate otherwise, dogs may not be allowed in the future.  Dogs, when not in carriages, are to be on a leash at all times.  Dogs in carriages are not to be secured to the vehicle in any way.  Competing dogs must have a health certificate within 30 days and show a current rabies certificate. 

 

NOTE:  Failure to provide required health papers for competing horses and dogs may result in losing the privilege to show and all paid fees will be forfeited.

 

Remember!  The behavior of your animals and the

consequences of their actions are your responsibility.

 

21.  Bridles should be adjusted to fit snugly to prevent catching on a vehicle or other pieces of harness.  A bridle with reins attached and passed through the saddle terrets must be in place whenever a horse is put to a vehicle.  Failure to comply will result in elimination for the remainder of the show.

 

22.     Horses/ponies are not to be tied up or left unattended in any way while they are put to vehicles.  Failure to comply will incur elimination.

 

23.     Competitors and horses/ponies may enter more than one division, if scheduling allows, but timed classes may be driven only once by horse and/or driver.  See ADS rules. 

FIND WHERE IN ADS RULES

 

 

24.     All drivers shall be members of the American Driving Society or pay a $15 non-member fee (which DOES NOT PROVIDE INSURANCE COVERAGE).  Only ADS members are covered by ADS insurance, so membership is strongly encouraged.

 

25.     Remember—Safety is everyone’s concern at ALL times.

Donors, Sponsors, and Volunteers: The Harvest Moon relies heavily on the generosity of our kind donors, sponsors and volunteers.  Putting on a show is very costly and time consuming.  Please take a moment to thank those people and businesses who have given their time and resources so that we may have the venue to exhibit our turnouts.
