Besides the listings below for assisting with shows, there are many ways you can help OKE, including serving on a committee, organizing clinics etc. If you are interested in helping OKE, contact any board member.

1. Scorer-use an adding machine to calculate dressage scores.  It is helpful if you have experience running an adding machine but not necessary.  On-the-job training can be provided.  This is a sit down job, usually under cover or inside out of the weather.  Attention to detail is important. 
   
2. Office-help to check in riders and collect any money owed, check Coggins tests, hand out schedules and numbers.  This job is usually under cover or indoors.  Early morning is especially busy as the majority of riders arrive.
   
3. Dressage Scribe-write down the score and comments from the dressage tests.  Being able to write neatly and quickly is helpful.  Knowledge of dressage is helpful but not mandatory.  Must be able to pay attention to the judge's remarks and accurately record the information.  Some short hand abbreviations are allowed (these can be sent to you for review prior to scribing ).  This is a sit down job that may or may not be under cover depending on the facility.  The judges' are always very helpful to new scribes.  A great way to educate yourself in dressage.  It is best to volunteer the whole day as a scribe but a 1/2 day is acceptable.
   
4. Jump Scribe- sit with the jump judge and help them verify the competitor number, possibly help with a stop watch, and keep track of faults.  A very exciting job!  Typically a sit down job out of doors starting late morning or early afternoon.
   
5. Paddock-check the warm up areas to be sure riders are there and make them aware of the schedule and know how many rides before them.  This is a stand up job but you may bring a chair for resting.  It is usually out side.  This job is very important to keep the show running smoothly.  Eventing shows will need two paddock people, one for the dressage arena and one for the jumping arena.  Most people work 1/2 day.
   
6. Jump Crew-several people to help change jump heights between divisions and reset jumps if they are knocked down.  Need to be at the jumping arena and ready to go at a moment's notice.  Other than that sit back, relax and enjoy the show!  Jumping usually starts late morning or early afternoon. Typically jump courses are built the day before the show and any volunteers are welcome to help with that.
   
7. Runner-bring dressage tests from the dressage judge's box to the office for scoring. A great job for an active/restless child. Need to be able to wait at the judge's box quietly until the scribe hands you the tests then you may walk (running not required!) to the office where the scorer will calculate the score. You make the trip after every two or three rides.
   
8. Score Poster-write scores on charts for riders to see. This can also be done by the scorer, office person, and/or runner. Neat writing and accuracy are essential. A fairly easy job not requiring a lot of activity.
   
9. Cross Country Jump Judge - no experience necessary, training provided.  Mark a scoring sheet to indicate if the horse and rider jumped, stopped or fell at a jump. No Style Points!  Outdoors, it's a good idea to bring a folding chair of some kind.
