Go Show!
Presented by Jan Colley & Sponsored by Central Texas Dressage Society
Are you sitting at the table with your entry form and prize list
wondering if you’ll ever get it completed before the 2010 show
season is over?
Join us SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28th, 2:00 PM for a fun, informative
session on preparing for a recognized dressage show. We’ll cover everything
from filling out the dreaded entry form, what you’ll need when you actually
arrive at the show and show protocol/etiquette.
Session is open to all ages! A great way for the junior or adult making the
jump from schooling shows to recognized showing to enter and enjoy their
first show without the worries of “Did I enter the right class?”, “Should I
have sent that with my entry?”, “Wonder if I’ll need this bucket?”
