_______________________________________________________________________


Cross Country Event:
The event will be held outside on DKD's cross country course. Cameras will follow every competitor for the audience and Judges so not a Glow-in -the-dark moment is missed. XD With the "help" of some residing Nightmares on DKD, the course will be decorated so that the competitors can see the jumps and obsticles via lights, and interactive glowing decorations. (Lets hope they don't get out of hand in their decorating.)

I was lazy so I just described the course and the different parts you can pick from to draw. You only need to pick one. I may paint some of them so you can get a good idea but we will just have to see what happens. -> The DKD Halloween Lightshow Cross Country CourseAny horse that takes part in the Cross Country Course need to be steadfast and not spooky or you will be in for a rough ride.
Unfortunately, the DKD resident Disturbed Nightmares had a hay day designing the course. Not only will the jumps and obstacles be possibly booby trapped or test your stead's courage, and the country around the course will be full of scary sound effects; the Nightmares' versions of Halloween sound effects.
The DKD Staff will advise you to not allow the nightmares to waylay you or turn you from the course. Most of the obstacles and jumps are just for show, we think. Oh, and one more thing, RIDE FAST! XD
Fear's Jump – Despite his usually scary tactics of trapping ranch hands, his obstacle is fairly mild. He is a younger Nightmare and not very creative yet and limited by his two orbs. His jump is a large hoop braced with the jump height at four foot with the hoop having a ten foot diameter which is draped by his glow worms. So hope you aren't squeamish as they

:new: HOW TO WIN
For the cross country course, you will need to write a story to go with your entry. You should include the responses of you and your horse to the jump/obstacle you choose and how you get through it. Also as Disturbed Nightmares are involved it will be a dangerous course from the jumps and obstacles as well as the them trying to prevent you from finishing the course. Entries will be judged on creativity, effort, and how eyecatching the lights are on you and your horse.




Dressage Event:
This event will be held in DKD's indoor Arena completely blacked out but for small ground lamps at each of the letter markers. Now the the dressage event is fairly freestyle but will require that you have your horse perform moves that will really make their lights flash about such as the Pirouette, Piaffe, and Half-Pass. 

For best results in this division of light display, we suggest painting markings on the legs, keeping the mane and tail lose and placing glow strips of some kind in them along with on the bridle and reins.

:new: HOW TO WIN
With the dressage course, your lights will be the deciding factor along with how you can really make them dance as you perform your dressage. Entries will ne judged on creativity, effort and the ligtshow that you give the judges.


Show Jumping Event:
For the Show Jumping, the event will be held in DKD's indoor arena. Just as in the dressage event, it will be held in total dark WITHOUT the lamps. But the poles on the jumps will be painted to glow in the dark so you and your horse will have no problem finding the jumps. They may look eerie like glowing bars floating in the air. XD
Horse should be decked out in the glow paint, sticks, and strips just like in the Dressage event so the Judges can track your progress.

:new: HOW TO WIN
The best way to win in the show jumping is just to catch their attention and not knock any pole down.XD  A good way to do this is just have the most dynamic view of your horse and rider and  make your lights really flashy. Remember, the only lights will be coming from the glowing poles and the ligjts on you and your horse. This will be more easily judged but as with the others they will be judged on creativity, effort and the lightshow you give.

Afterhours Blacklight Liberty and Party

There will be three classes of Blacklight Liberty in the after hours once the competitions are done for each night.

As with the other events, music and glowing effects are vital for the Blacklight Liberty. This is meant to be a much more relaxed and fun event. 
Each Liberty class will take part all three days of the Extravaganza.

May i ask why tracing isnt allowed?  Takes just as much effort as someone who doesnt trace.

Plus i dont see why you would not allow it when theres not huge prizes to be won.
