SECOND RUN OF SUNDAY'S WESTERN DRESSAGE SCHEDULE for our AMAZING Western Dressage riders and their talented horses under the judging of LAUREN ANNETT "r" (PA)!
It is very important that you read all the information below and the attachments and respond ASAP with any questions, corrections or additions. PLEASE do not wait.
1. CHECK to make sure that the tests you've prepared are those listed BELOW!
INTRO = WALK & JOG
BASIC, LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2, LEVEL 5 = WALK & JOG & LOPE
2. IF YOU SEE A MISTAKE: MESSAGE ME HERE ON THIS FACEBOOK PAGE IMMEDIATELY. Test labels, schedules, and score recaps are printed from this list. Any mistakes in WDAA or show #'s, names, and tests need to be corrected before those are printed and I thank you SO MUCH for your help in this! (Do NOT reach out to Twin Tiers Classic by their page or messages or email. They DO NOT DO the schedule.)
3. If you do not already have your bridle or back # (doesn't matter at all which you wear) you pick that up from the main show office attached to the indoor arena as soon as you arrive. If you have shown in this series same/horse & rider earlier - you use the SAME back number. All other communication regarding sheets, ribbons, tack questions, scratches should be addressed to the Western Dressage Shack next to the warm-up ring once you are on the grounds if not in a message HERE earlier.
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE ON SUNDAY! This was a challenging schedule because of the number of rides and the majority of them being Walk-Jog-Lope which are allotted more time. If this is your first show with us, WELCOME and you're going to LOVE IT! If you are a returning competitor, THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK and you are STILL going to love it! Don't forget to grab a bag of cookies for your special horse!
