It seems like a lot of schooling shows these days have started asking for pre-entries, they charge a trailer-in fee (and sometimes also a ground fee), they have a scratch fee - for a schooling show! The whole thing is so much more expensive and complicated. I miss the days when you didn’t decide until the night before or even that morning, you just loaded up and went, parked, and signed up at the tent. Maybe it’s just me … I am a pretty last-minute person
