Oklahoma Dressage Society

It was a pleasure to judge last Sunday for GCC at Rocking C Stable. Many riders I had seen at Lily Pond in September were showing again. I was pleasantly surprised to see that all had improved, some showed major improvement! It was obvious many riders had been working hard and taking lessons to improve and hopefully, my comments and the comments of other judges, have helped them along the way. That is my hope when I comment either verbally or in writing on your test. I want every rider to enjoy the pleasure of a happy, athletic horse and try to point the way in my judging. We are not supposed to teach and I try not to, but sometimes fail and have to give pointers. I want the best for every horse, pony and mule(Go Hilda!), for them to comfortably and happily carry their riders. Age, type, breeding or color doesn't matter, just that they are comfortable in their work. So, Happy Trails and Dressage Arena To You!!!
