Well I got an invite to a David Marcus dressage clinic yesterday. The person planing it was my roommate when I lived in Ont. and we've kept in touch over the past couple of years. She knew that my long term goal is to do some decent dressage with Lucas so she thought I might like the opportunity. I did appreciate the invite, but Im not sure that I could handle the top level riding for an entire weekend. Let alone the fact that the date of the clinic would only give me 3 months to get him legged up enough for it. So Im going to watch for the weekend and we auditors are allowed to ask questions so it should be fun.
Im also going to bite the bullet and ask the RA doctor about classification for para-dressage. Between that and some point having AQHA dressage in Canada I think that's the way our long term training is going to go. As much as I love my AQHA shows its really expensive, and our competitors are at the top of the game (and yeah I know it encourages you to work harder, but me and Lucas just are not tough enough to compete against top 3 @ congress horses!). Atleast you have a goal with dressage....
