Hi Everyone,

Because of the Adult Team competition falling on Easter Sunday, I am making the following changes to the show.

First big change – both team tests will be ridden on Saturday.  Open classes will be available as time allows.

SUNDAY – will be an open show only – we will offer open classes and the Dressage Trail class,  a costume class and the Challenge of the Ages class.  If anyone has something they would like to see added, just let me know.  I know there was some interest in a Prix Caprilli class, but I know nothing about it or how to run it.  If someone would like to run the class I’ll accept entries for it, just let me know.

Please check out the listing on the ODS website (http://oregondressage.com/showsandclinics.html – or directly to the prize list at: http://oregondressage.com/2010_Omnibus/2010-AdultTeamShow2.pdf) or contact me at J-G.McCabe@juno.com if you have any questions.

Late fees will be waived through March 26th.

We will do a dinner on Saturday evening for anyone interested.  The cost to competitors will be $5.00.  One possibility is going to Izzy’s pizza.  If you have any other ideas let me know and I’ll pass it on to Karen Hanek who will be handling the dinner.

I hope this helps people out and doesn’t make things too confusing.

Thank you,

Gaye McCabe (j-g.mccabe@juno.com)
