The 2014 Show Schedule, As It Currently Stands
My 2014 show season is full of a lot of hopes. I'm positive I won't hit all my goals, or go to all of my shows. But for now, here's what I'm aiming for!
Tentative Show Schedule:
April 19 -- Heartland Region CT & Dressage Schooling Show
• Plan to show 1st 2 and 2nd 1
• Easy first show, with lots of atmosphere. Plus, it's cheap!
• Scores here count towards IDS awards.
May 17-18 -- Harmony in the Park
• Plan to show 1st 2 and 2nd 1 both days
• Eeeeexpensive rated show. But, I need the extra score at 1st for my Bronze, and I'm interested to see what the judges have to say about the work I've put in towards 2nd.
• Can I convince my mother to cover show fees for my birthday?
June/July -- Chevaux Schooling Show
• Show 1st 2 and 2nd 1. Maybe 2nd 2.
• Super cheap local show, 10 minutes from my barn.
• Scores count towards IDS.
July 27 -- IDS Schooling Show
• Sunday one-day show. Bletch.
• Will only attend if I need extra scores towards IDS awards.
September 5-7 -- MSEDA at the Park
• Kentucky Horse Park! Omg.
• Show 1st 2 and 2nd 1, or 2nd 1 and 2nd 2. Depending on how season has gone.
• May only show one day.
• Finances may come into play on this show, but I'd love to make the trek to KY this year.
October 4 -- IDS Championships
• Hope to qualify for at least a First Level ride-off. Will also show a 2nd level class. Just because. If I don't qualify for any awards, I will probably skip this show.
Awards Goals for 2014:
IDS High Percentage Award -- 1st Level
• I'm aiming to have a median score in the mid 60s for this year, and place higher than 5th as an AA.
IDS Championship -- 1st Level
IDS Championship -- 1st Level
• I'm aiming to qualify for the ride offs (I actually qualified last year, but didn't show)
• Would like to be competitive, and score in the mid 60's at the Championship ride.

Kentucky Horse Park! So. Much. Fun.
ReplyDeleteI love going there to watch shows, it would be such a thrill to show there!
DeleteI'm the same way, my show schedule is very starry, full of hope, but lots of flexibility! I hope you attain everything you want this year!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Flexibility is key, for sure!
DeleteFab plans & goals, I shall keep everything crossed and be routing for you that it all goes to plan
ReplyDeleteAs I don't show here (who knows I may some day if I can suitably clean up my riding) I'm going to live vicariously through ambitiously talented bloggers like yourself :-D
Aw, you guys could totally cut it in the show ring!
DeleteGreat goals! I am hoping you make the trek to KY - such a lovely park :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping so too. I miss you guys!
DeleteLooks like a great schedule!! We may run into each other somewhere along the way. I'd love to meet Guiness! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for blogger friend meet ups!
DeleteMy show schedule is a giant question mark stretched together with duct tape, haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that sounds about right!
