Qualified for Championships

9/20/2013

It's not a huge deal or anything, but qualifying for the California Dressage Society Championships was one of my goals this year, and we did it!

To qualify for the CDS Championships at Training Level as an Adult Amateur, the rider must earn 5 scores of 63% or better from 4 different judges from CDS rated (or CDS/USDF/USEF rated) shows.

We earned our scores throughout the year, and even though I won't be going to the show, it makes me feel good that we at least qualified. The show is this weekend, but it's just too far away. I would have had to take several days off from work, and as a teacher, September is the one month that I really need to be at work.

I am okay with missing it this year as we wouldn't have been competitive enough to make the time and expense worth the trip. Next year though might be a different story!

Wow! Thanks, guys! I wasn't expecting so many positive comments or so many Facebook "likes." I didn't really accomplish anything - actually showing up and competing would have been much better. But for me, knowing that I *could* have competed against California's best amateurs gives me a feeling of success, however small. :0)
