Dear ODS Members,

Oregon Dressage Society is proud to be hosting the second part of the USDF “L” Education Program in 2012.  This program is especially important for ODS because of the tremendous opportunity for learning this program offers participants of Part 1 and of the continuing education opportunity this program provides for current “L” program graduates.  Additionally, the ODS League Show approval requires at least an “L” graduate to be used as an official.  Having candidates successfully complete this program will increase the pool of available officials for approved ODS League Shows.

The application period for the USDF “L” Education Program, Part II presented by ODS in 2012 is now open. Part II consists of Sessions D1, D2, Sitting/Scribing with “R” or “S” Judges and the Final Exam.

Only 10 participants can be accepted and a few slots are still available. Auditors are not permitted.  Candidates will selected on a first come first served basis.

Please refer to the ODS website (http://www.oregondressage.com/lprogram.html) for further information, criteria and the application form.

Please contact me at (541) 890-5085 or eamgroup@aol.com for further information or questions.

Thank you,

Ed Miller
