Entry Guidelines

Rider Eligibility and Selection -

Riders must be members in good standing of CDS and be Adult Amateurs 22 years or older. The same rider cannot ride in two consecutive yearly clinics. The riders must be able to walk/trot/canter with proper diagonals and leads (Training Level minimally). The rider, to be eligible, must have a sound, fit and in good condition, familiar equine partner, presenting as a “horse/rider team”. They must be actively riding demonstrated by current dressage lessons with their horse for the past 6 months. A borrowed or loaned horse just for the occasion is strongly discouraged.

Clinic Information -

The clinic is organized over a three day period Friday evening through Sunday. Riders should plan to arrive on Friday and allow enough time to get their horse settled in and comfortable with the surroundings.

If a horse is felt to be lame and there is a question of the horse’s welfare, OR if there are safety concerns for the horse and/or rider team they may be excused from participation. The final decision regarding lameness or safety will rest with a joint decision of the Clinician, Clinic Organizer, and/or any Committee/Board member present.
