Our 2021 Halloween Horse Show and Ride-A-Test is in the books!!

Francine Bell our judge and clinician

Our great dressage community came out to support us on October 31, 2021 at the Plantation Equestrian Center for our SFDA Halloween horse show!

Our judge Francine Bell came dressed to play!! Our hats are off to her as she managed a 25 ride day, getting in the ring for a mini clinic with 10 ride-a-test participants and scoring the rides of another half dozen riders riding traditional test rides. Our scribe Patti Green was right there by her side with Monah Garret running score sheets back to the office all day. Everyone was happy to be a part of the day and gained new insights on their dressage work and ready themselves for the winter show season. We even had several riders coming to their first dressage show and or bringing a horse new to the experience too.

For our participants, please remember that everyone’s first test score qualifies for our Year End Awards so please get them in. Please remember to contact Caitlin and upload your scores.

Some of our winners and volunteers. Thanks for staying to help load up the arena onto the trailer!

Apple bobbling, Sammi takes it, but Christalina shows she’s got more gusto. And Boni, just says, I like them sliced and on a plate please
