Why letting horses “carry themselves” is better for their minds and bodies—and for dressage sport welfare.

Warning: running two rings in September is like trying to tame a pack of wild horses! 🐴 We need superhero volunteers to save the day! And, oh yeah, a second scribe to keep the morning shift (8a-12p) from turning into a hot mess. Interested in being a scribe? Send us a note at [email protected] and let's get this circus started! 🎪

🐴 ONLY 6 RIDE TIMES LEFT! 🐴

We are closing in on FULL for our September show and Championship Classes! 🎉

We absolutely do not want anyone to miss out on their opportunity to show, especially those of you who have worked hard all season and qualified for our Championship classes! 🏆

With only 6 ride times remaining, we need your entries ASAP so we can determine whether we need to bring in a second judge and open a second ring to accommodate everyone.

And just a little behind-the-scenes reminder… 😉

These things don’t just happen, folks! Adding a second judge, setting up another ring, scheduling additional volunteers, and making sure everything runs smoothly takes planning—and we need enough advance notice to make it happen.

So please help us help YOU! ❤️
👉 If you’re planning to show, get your entry in now!
👉 If you qualified for a Championship class, don’t wait!
👉 Let’s make sure everyone gets their opportunity to ride!

We are so excited to finish out the season with you and celebrate all of your hard work! 🏆🐴

Get those entries in before we’re FULL

For those wondering why and how rules are changed:

A rule change for the 2027 show season means that a double bridle is no longer permitted at Third Level dressage.
