Stalls & Camping FAQ
What happens if stalls sell out?
If permanent stalls sell out, the GFB store reverts to a stall waitlist (a $1 hold fee). Stalls that open from cancellations are offered to contestants on the waitlist in order. If you purchase a stall and later no longer need it, it must be returned to the Show Office while the waitlist is active. The Show Office manages stall reassignments until everyone on the waitlist has been offered a stall or pre-entries close September 11, whichever comes first. After that time, contestants may buy, sell, or transfer stalls among themselves.
Portable stall overflow
Up to 56 portable stalls may be added inside the Dairy Barn near the Woods campground area. A minimum commitment of 40 portable stalls is required before portable stalls will be brought in. Portable stalls cost $145 each and are offered only if permanent stalls sell out and the minimum required amount for setup is met.
Overnight tie-out overflow
Overnight tie-outs will be offered on the south half of the track infield if permanent stalls sell out. Contestants may build a temporary pen or tie horses to their trailer. Cost is $50 per rider, with a maximum of $100 per trailer. Contestants must scrape/rake and completely clean their area before departing.
Can I buy or sell my spots?
Yes — basic Go For Broke Productions rules apply. See the schedule for deadlines on buying/selling spots.
I entered as a “DUO” but would like to add the 3rd day — can I do that?
Yes — see the schedule for deadlines on late entering.
Will camping spots be assigned?
We will not be assigning specific sites, but we will be assisting with parking to ensure we maximize the sites around the stall barns.
