Ride-A-Test is an effective and fun way to prepare for dressage competition or just hone your skills. Riders choose a test (through 4th level.) They ride through the test and will be judged on a normal score sheet. Brandy will go over the ride and provide a 10-15 minute mini-lesson on how to improve the test. Then they re-ride the test and try to improve their score. Both rides and Brandy’s comments will be recorded on DVD. Each half-hour session costs $40, including the DVD. Cash or checks payable to PCTC to be paid at the event. For more information, please contact Anne Stevens at (503) 615-4225.
