Test Riding Clinic with Janet Henderson
Would you like to know how your training is coming along before competition season starts? Janet Henderson, a local certified dressage judge, is willing to come to your stable to judge your test ride. All you need to do is organize a group of 3 to 4 people and contact Nancy Lemieux, Clinic Coordinator, to reserve a time. Janet will travel to your stable, judge your performance and give you a completed test sheet and score. In addition, she will discuss any questions you may have, then you ride your test again to try to improve your performance and score.
Fee: $40 per rider (minimum 3 riders per location)

Scribe Clinic, Friday, April 25, 2008. 7 - 9 pm
The scribe's job is to record the scores and comments for each movement during a dressage test. This clinic is designed to help you brush up on your scribing skills. It will provide helpful tips from the judge's perspective and prepare you to scribe at dressage shows this summer. Scribing is a great learning experience as it gives you an inside look at how tests are judged.
