Around the Arena

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Around the Arena

The FSCDA competition year is about to start, last weekend was a great beginning with a protocol day at Cobargo, a lovely day that was enjoyed by everyone that attended. It was fantastic to see quite a few new faces as well as the familiar ones.

As most people are aware dressage means training, we train our horses  to carry themselves and us more easily, for various disciplines, for fun and for dressage competition. Are we throwing marks away though? It seems we are, by not practicing accurately and thinking about where we are riding in the arena, an article on this subject was published in the EA newsletter and it’s certainly worth reading.   Click here to read Throwing away valuable marks

Enjoy the read…… Chris

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Last weekend a group of FSCDA members took part in a two day clinic with Peter Shaw at Melissa Whants lovely facilities in South Pambula.  They were so taken with Peter’s instructing, that Pip will be arranging the following and hopes to get your feelings & interest on the events over the Easter Weekend.  Facebook, email or SMS your feedback so she can make final arrangements with Peter for this AMAZING WEEKEND…..
Peter Shaw E Level Seminar, Lessons & Competition – 4 day Easter weekend Fri 25th – Mon 28th March at Bemboka Showground
Peter will conduct a Judges E Level Seminar, lessons & possibly a comp if we have enough interest. The benefit of a comp would be so that current judges can co-judge with him as part of their ongoing education.  Beginner judges can sit in with him to get their eye in and learn useful terms and comments whilst judging. Riders have the benefit of an A Level coach to receive useful feedback.
