You must bring a copy of the Lancaster Event Center waiver along with a Barn Hunt COVID waiver to the trials!  These forms can be found in the premium and also in the welcome letter (under “Documents” below).

We are looking for a few workers for these trials! If you are available for a full or half day (running a dog is OK, within reason), please let me know ASAP.  Workers will be paid $15 for a half day or $35 for a full day.

ALL BREEDS ALLOWED

Be sure to check the welcome letter for any revisions to schedule/class order!

Judge: Erin McDaniel

Checks will not be deposited before closing, just in case governmental restrictions change.

Please pay attention to the information in the welcome letter (when posted) regarding special rules/requirements for these trials. BHA is requiring masks for some things, including when you are running in the ring. You must bring your own mask. RMR will not have masks available for competitors and refunds will not be given if you can’t run due to not having a mask. READ THE WELCOME LETTER AND READ THE BHA COVID-19 RULES (link at the top of www.barnhunt.com). No refunds will be given if you aren’t able to run due to not following the rules.

We have received permission to take day-of-show entries!  You must enter by 7:30am on the day of the show, or on a previous day.

Please note the running order (in the premium and welcome letter) – we are running levels BACK TO BACK.  So Novice 1 will be immediately followed by Novice 2, then Open 1 followed by Open 2, etc.

All days except the last day, in the evening (at least 30 minutes after the conclusion of the trials) we will be offering lessons and practice at the trial site.  Come warm-up your dogs or learn some new skills!  Sign-up at the trial site.

Register for the text message alerts and we’ll send out notifications about timing.

• • • • $5 for 5 minutes in the ring to warm-up your dog (no instruction).
      • $10 for a quick non-scored instinct test to see if your dog is interested in the rats (very limited instruction).
      • $50 for a 30 minute private lesson (you can share with as many dogs/people as you like).

Conflicts:

We would like to accommodate each and every conflict but sometimes that is impossible and you may have to make a choice. The running order for classes will be posted at the ring each day. Please notify the blind steward of your conflict BEFORE we are running your class so we can discuss how to best accommodate.

We cannot hold a class.

If you are not present by the time your class ends, you will not be able to run your dog in that class for that trial. There are two trials each day but a missed run in trial one cannot be run in trial two and cannot be moved to another day. Missed runs are not eligible for a refund.

How Does The Waitlist Work?

If a day fills and additional entries are received, we’ll take those entries on “waitlist status”. If someone pulls from the trial before pre-entry closing, they will receive a refund (minus any transaction fees) and if there is someone on the wait-list they will move into that spot. If someone pulls from the trial after pre-entry closing and there is another dog we can move in from the waitlist, the person pulling will receive a refund (minus a $5 processing fee per day) and the dog from the waitlist will move into the trial for the runs that became available. We will maintain a waitlist until five days before the start of the trial, after which any entries left on the waitlist will be shredded. Entries that are shredded when the waitlist closes will be refunded before the start of the event.

In order to be added to the waitlist you MUST SUBMIT AN ENTRY FORM and PAY IN FULL. You will receive confirmation of your entry that states your entries are “WAITLISTED”. Please keep an eye on your email as your status can change quickly!

Check back to this page to see if there are entries available late/day-of. You can also stop by the event and ask. Things can change last minute!

But What Time Will My Class Start?

We get a lot of questions on “when will my class start” for trials. I cannot give out times other than the start of the first class of the day. However, here is a way for you to estimate when your class MAY start running:

• • • My welcome letters give entry counts as of the pre-entry closing along with the order the classes will run.
    • Here’s what BHA estimates time-wise for each run:
