Online entries now being accepted for the July 11th dressage only show on the website.
This show is different. We are only offering dressage (classic and Western as well as eventing TOC) classes AND we will beat the heat by ending the show midday. We plan to run two sand rings. To end on time, we are limiting entries... If you want to show, sign up ASAP.
Closing will be July 3rd
