 DF Dressage Schooling Spring Chapionships Feb-May 2020

Many competitors have no goals of heading into a Regional Championship. It’s expensive to become members with horses and riders. It’s expensive to travel, take off work and hope for the best.
Perhaps they don’t feel ready. Perhaps finances are tight.
Perhaps their horse is green.
Perhaps they are just wanting to have local fun!
Why can’t we have our own fun!
Let’s grow our sport and encourage new rider to get their feet wet.

February-May. we will be offering a new look to our Dressage schooling shows and offering a championship pre season awards for champion, reserve and runner up in assorted divisions.

We will be doing this with a POINT system. Not a hi-point. And if the class is large( example a Training level 3) , you’ll get more points.

Monogram coolers, bridle bags and saddle pads will be awarded.
We will awards many different categories . Example:
Eventer dressage ~Pony ~AA~Open~Jr
And more…
We have a lot of new riders in our sport and we should all pull together to make the shows a positive learning experience for all. Our Judges assist competitors who would go off course, have a fall, or forget their test.
For me this is what schooling shows are all about at Donida. Use our experienced knowledge to help new people learn how things run.
Read a test for them.
Hand them their coat.
Hold their horse.
Direct them.
Educate them with USEF rules versus schooling show rules.
This all prepares riders for the recognized shows. This is how we can get new riders to step up into the larger picture. This is just how things should be. Helpful. Supporting each other. Warms the heart!

Those Individuals or companies looking for advertisement/sponsorship please contact me.Stay tuned for more info. New awards program will start in February and run through May.

Riders may ride more than once in each class. Be sure to indicate which test you are riding in the Test of Choice (TOC) classes. If you do not indicate a test, we will put you in Test 3.
Daily Prizes: 1-5 place ribbons awarded in each class. Award to first with 3 or more entries in the class.
Warm Up and Schooling: We provide an indoor arena for warm-up in addition to our spacious outdoor rings. Lunging is permitted in designated outdoor lunging areas
Ride times will be posted on here by Wednesday pm. Concessions are available on the show grounds.
Schooling only: If you just want to bring a horse to school, you will need to pay for a day stall ($25.00) and a schooling fee of $30.00 for warm up arena use only. ~~~~~
