I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but Sydney and I are headed across town to Kern River CDS's Ride-a-Test today. The organizers have generously given us a full 30 minutes (11:30 -12:00) in the dressage court to school and ride our tests. We're just doing Intro A & B.
I am not interested in our scores, although Mary Meyer, "L" Graduate, will be judging for those who wish to see how they perform. My goal is to be able to ride Sydney off the property in a relaxed frame.
He was at Quiet Creek Ranch in June when I had my saddle fit by Tina Hoover, but we didn't do much under saddle work. We've improved a lot since June so I am hoping that all goes well. The only way he'll be comfortable and confident in new places is if we go to new places.
If you're local and you want to come out to see what this is all about, Quiet Creek Ranch is located at 331 Wegis Avenue in Bakersfield. You can even come and ride without doing any of the tests, but you'll still need to complete the entry and pay $25. More information can be found here.
