It was near perfect weather for this 1st of the season outdoor Dressage Show. We had over 45 riders entered to compete up to First Level, with many riding a dressage test in a show for the first time.  Most went home very satisfied with their scores believing that all the winter training and hard work had finally paid off!  Congratulations to all competitors...great scores! 

The EAADA held the second part of a two part Judges and Scribes Clinic during the show, which was well attended.

The last class of the day was an exciting one, especially for the horses, Prix Caprilli which includes dressage and a jumping combination judged as a dressage test. Prix Caprilli is often offered at Dressage shows, though not many are brave enough to enter. However, at this show the Prix-Caprilli class was very well ridden by seven riders, a super day! 

How many riders do you recognize?
