2020 Shows Dates
For 2020 Shows we hosted Virtual Test riding clinics with dressage judges Janet Henderson & Lynne Poole
Virtual Test riding clinics can safely replace our show season - here's a riding report from Clinic participant Amber Ripa on her Virtual Test riding clinic experience in June & July 2020.
My Experience with the 2020 Dressage Niagara Virtual Clinics
I participated in the virtual clinics arranged by Dressage Niagara in June and July 2020, judged by Janet Henderson and Lynne Poole, respectively. This was Bellator and my second show season together, our first at First Level.
I was a little intimidated at first, seeing as my arena is not quite long enough and I wasn’t sure who would video, or how I would get the right set up, but my desire to get feedback on my training over the winter kept me moving forward and figuring out a solution so that I could participate in the virtual clinics.
Our arena is about 50m x 30m (approximately). We have a larger outdoor eventing ring, but with the permanent jumps and obstacles there, I felt the arena was my best option. Fortunately, I had buckets to act as letters, and used poles to set up the arena to a size of 50m x 20m. For the first level tests, this required that my leg yielding be a bit steeper, but otherwise, the ring size worked quite well.
