Additional Notes

2. Showers are available at the facility. Ask the show office for directions.

3. Wasatch Pony Club is the proud steward of the Golden Spike Cross Country (XC) Course so that it can remain free and open to the public. We only restrict riding the course during our event. We welcome the equestrian community to use the XC course as much as possible, including Sunday after our event. Golden Spike Event Center rents out the track and XC course for private events which then close the course to public use. You should always check the GSEC website for racetrack closures which also close the XC course.  

4. We welcome your donations as Wasatch Pony Club alone maintains the course. Donate through PayPal to USPC DBA Wasatch Pony Club

5. Golden Spike is allowing participants to stay the night in the living quarters of their trailers, but you must be in the back parking lot, east of Barn A. No tents! 

6. Golden Spike Event Center’s policy is “no outside food or drink.” Concessions will be available Saturday.

7. Dogs must be on a leash at all times. 

8. NO UNAUTHORIZED MOTORIZED VEHICLES are allowed on the racetrack; this includes ATVs and motorcycles, as well as cars and trucks. Golden Spike Event Center is insisting we enforce this. Handicap access is authorized and golf cart shuttles are available for transport, if needed.

9. ALWAYS exit the track/move out of the way when work crews come to water and harrow. Do not make the driver wait for you.
