End of Year Awards
Since I started on my dressage journey, I've been a member of a local Indiana dressage GMO. Not only was IDS a great way to join USDF, but it is also an active group with plenty of opportunities for riders, especially when it comes to awards.
When I first looked into joining IDS, I didn't look very closely their award listing. At the end of the year, I was very surprised to get a huge white ribbon in the mail and a congratulations in placing fourth in their Training Level Adult Amateur division for the year.

A year later, and I had a sixth place ribbon for First Level Adult Amateur to hang on the wall.
This year, I want a ribbon for Second Level. To qualify, I need to have a minimum of 6 scores, with a median score above 55%. Right now, I'm at 4 scores. I have some plans in the works to get the remainder of my scores and hopefully increase my median score to something fairly competitive. (61% please!)

I'm planning to accumulate 8 scores, to allow myself some room to drop the scores from the show in May. With luck, all of our good work will pay off...
YOU CAN DO EET!!! Obvs. let me know when/where you are showing and I will drive stupidly far away to be your groom :)
ReplyDeleteComing up soon!
DeleteYay! I love year end awards partially because I rarely if ever win them :) Good luck
ReplyDeleteIt's rare for us to do really well. I'm hoping for a good ribbon this year, and to go out of IDS and 2nd level with a bang.
DeleteYou know me, ALL The Ribbons, ALL DA TIME. GET IT
ReplyDeleteAnd these ribbons are HUGE. You'd die. Literally just die.
Deletethose are some of the loveliest ribbons i've ever seen. fingers crossed to getting another good one this year!
ReplyDeleteDare to hope it's a pretty colored one!

ReplyDeleteYou can do it! My gmo has a "green horse/rider award" that would be perfect for you. Maybe check into something like that.
