Oregon Dressage Society News and Announcements ? Umpqua ...

Summer Solstice Fun Show ? The planning for the June fun show put on by our chapter is well underway.? The last several years we have hosted a ride a test and fun show at Bobbi Harper?s place, this year we will be hosting a fun open dressage show on June 10 at the Poco Loco Ranch in Melrose.? The emphasis will be on fun as the prize list will include some unusual classes.? We will offer western dressage USEF basic and preliminary tests for those of you who don?t feel up to the pressure of breeches, Prix Caprilli tests for those out there who like their dressage with jumps in the middle of it, and for you who like to show on the razors edge, or cant remember your test, we will be offering the dressage roulette class.? You would enter a level, for example first, and then as you entered the arena, a reader calls which test from that level you will be riding.? You need to be prepared to ride any of the tests from a level, so intro horse/riders should be prepared to canter a 20 meter circle if intro C is called for you.

We will also be offering age divided rail classes of dressage equitation and dressage suitability (think dressage pleasure).? All horses will be asked to walk/trot/canter, work-offs and lengthened gaits at the judges discretion.? June Horkey of the TRC has agreed to judge for us, and we are in the process of securing a food vendor.

Upcoming tasks include advertising, securing sponsorships, and organizing volunteers.? We will need several volunteers for scribing, parking/traffic organization, runners, scorers and announcing to name a few.? Please contact Jill if you would like to volunteer on show day!? See you there!
