Our stables are hosting a treacherous event in front of our aquarium exhibit. Here, we rescue aquatic life, rehabilitate them and then release them to the wild. In order to raise awareness for our cause and the cause of similar places like the National Marine Life Center , Ke Kai Ola , and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium , we are hosting this competition. It goes by the name "Submerged".
Oh by the way, as a tribute to Mermay, we invited the mermaids to come watch our competition and they said they'd love to! So make sure to include them <3

SETTING
Held at Silver-Point-Stables in the Indoor Arena. It is quite big.
The Indoor Arena's walls are made out of giant fish tanks. There is a light cast inside the fish tank to give it a certain color (the color is up to you). In the Arena there are white lights on the ceiling. The floor is made up of sand.
All the events are held in the arena.
You can choose the time of day and weather (although the event does take place inside so I'm not sure how much you can do).
Aquatic Creatures inside the Aquarium can be realistic or fantasy. Be as creative as you want with the creatures!
STICK TO THE THEME FOR CREDIT: MERMAIDS
SHOW-JUMPING
Held in the Indoor Arena.
There is a wide variety of jumps. You can choose the design and the height.
Clothing and Tack should be intended for formal show jumping. It does not need to be the "traditional" jacket, jodhpurs and jumping saddle outfit (can be fantasy themed, exotic, etc.), as long as it's formal. Mane and Tail don't need to be braided, do what you think will look nice!
DRESSAGE
Held in the Indoor Arena.
The ring is surrounded with a fence that looks like this . You can design the markers. The decorations don't need to be flowers (can be aquatic themed - doing this might possible give you EXTRA POINTS *hint hint*)
This is Freestyle Dressage and you can choose your own music. All moves may be shown.
