5.14.12 Clinic just in time for next EW show
APHA coach and trainer and HCBC judge JODIE MOORE will be at Delta Riding Club Friday, May 25 to oversee a combo Trail and Showmanship clinic! We already have seven or so folks signed up – but there is room for more! Jodie wants to focus on what we find most challenging in our trail/handy horse patterns, so we’ll set up a course and go from there! We’ll start with Trail at 530 and when we’ve exhausted that, we’ll strip saddles and do some showmanship – you’ll be all set to impress at the English Western show just two days later, on May 27.

5.8.12 Western dressage tests
Just to confirm, we’re using the tests from the Western Style Dressage Association of Canada. You can now download them from their website: www.westernstyledressage.ca. Adiva has another western dressage clinic at the club this Thursday. I believe it’s full, but you’re welcome to come down and watch!
5.3.12 Change of plans
Oopsie! It appears we boobed on the Hunter schedule! They realized, when setting up the course last night, that the Clear Round class in each division should run AFTER the Hunter under Saddle class (and not before as previously published)! So … I have corrected the show schedule and uploaded it AGAIN. Most of you enter by division and not by class anyways, so it shudn’t create too much confusion in the office! Sorry about that!
Percent Day tests
And … since we have your attention anyways … just a reminder to Dressage riders that we are using the HCBC tests (and not EC/Dressage Canada ones). You can download those from Horse Council’s website [http://www.hcbc.ca/Competition-Documents.html?].
We’re still trying to iron out the details for those riding WESTERN dressage. Adiva tells me the Canadian site (listed in the bulletin below) has JUST upgraded their tests but they’re not posted to the site yet; they are different from the ones you will see on the Western Dressage Association of America site. Stay tuned. We shud have an answer by the end of the day!
If you’re nosy, drop by the club tonight when Adiva has her first Western dressage workshop! We’d love to see you!
