2024 UPCOMING
REGIONAL SPRING EVENTS

SATURDAY MAY 4- 2024

RGR QUALIFYING
DRESSAGE RALLY

Coordinated by Texas Heat , Sandy Creek & Brazos Pony Clubs

Dressage Competitions are held at many levels, beginning with Walk-Trot and Training Level, and continuing through nine levels to Grand Prix. A dressage test is a series of movements, performed at various gaits, designed to test the rider’s ability to communicate with their horse. Each movement is performed at a specified point in the arena and is scored individually on a scale from 0 to 10. A score of 0 means no portion of the movement was executed, while a score of 10 shows excellent execution. The individual scores are added and then calculated as a percentage of possible points to come up with a final score. The highest percentage wins the class.

SUNDAY, MAY 5 -2024

USPC Rio Grande Region
Standards & Certification Clinic

Led by National Examiner | Debra Sue Waters

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: TBD

The aim is to be consistent across our region examining the lower level ratings and prepare our members to be successful in National ratings. The S&C clinic demonstrates the rising skills required for the D-1 through the C-2 standards of proficiency. The presentation is geared towards instructors who teach Pony Club, leadership, members, and parents. Additionally, anyone who would like to be considered on the Local Level Examiners list. You will learn the difference between a D-2 and D-3 rider. You will learn the Basic Balanced Position. You will learn what riding skills set a C-2 apart from the lower levels. Tips on how to conduct a test will also be included.
Prepare by reviews the SOPs and bring printed copies with you.
The morning will consist of a power point presentation and discussion of riding position and effectiveness of aids at each level followed by a lunch break and the afternoon will have demonstration riders that will be evaluated by the participants. Hopefully! We will have demo riders from the dressage clinic and some of them jump... so we will need 2-3 demo riders at each level.
