We ask you: From where will your next dressage star come?
Here is an opportunity to see what high quality horses are being bred in the Northwest.

Oregon Dressage Society Breeders Showcase will be held August 14 & 15, 2010 at the Mt. Hood Equestrian Center in Boring, OR.
For those of you who are breeders or support breeders, THIS IS YOUR SHOW! We need your support. If you haven’t sent an entry in, please do so now. We also need volunteers both days. Of course, sponsors are always welcome! We don’t want this show to become a victim of the poor economy. It is an important show because it is the only dressage sporthorse show held by the Oregon Dressage Society in the state of Oregon. It is the only show that wholly supports the breeders, owners and trainers of dressage sport horses – horses bred to excel in the dressage ring.
If you are interested in awards, you can earn two of the required three scores necessary to be eligible for USDF Horse of the Year or All Breed awards. In fact, NEW this year: If you have four scores, you can drop the lowest score. Then the mean will be the “new” middle score. If your quick with your math, you can see this is a real advantage. The end result is a higher score. Oregon Dressage Society year-end awards require scores from just two competitions.
The closing date has been extended until August 12, 2010. No late fees!
Classes 284 & 384 Grand Championships, were originally omitted but are now added back. Champion and Reserve Champion from classes 226/326, 230/330, 234/334, 237/337 and 239/339 are eligible for these classes. The 2010 Great American Insurance Group/ USDF Breeders’ Championship Series Qualifiers are classes 226/326, 230/330, 234/334, 237/337, and 239/339.
Sharps containers are located in the main barn aisle.
After this show, the only show left in the 2010 Great American Insurance Group USDF Breeders’ Championship Northwest Series is the Breeders Classic, sponsored by the Northwest Sport Horse Breeders Association. The show is Sept 3 – 5, 2010, in Spanaway, WA. You can pick up two more scores, and show in the Hunter Breeding division, too!
As a SPECIAL ADDED ATTRACTION this year, Jos Sevriens, our DSHB judge for Saturday, will be giving a lecture on Saturday evening titled “Developing Your Eye”. This is a subject you can’t study enough. Trainers, riders and breeders: Do you want to know how to pick a good horse that will be successful in the dressage ring? Come listen to Jos at 7 PM. There might even be dessert!
