On Saturday, August 30, the third and last of the Dancing in the Sand Dressage shows was held under sunny skies in perfect temperatures. The show was near capacity and two arenas were set up for the day.
Lisa Weis (“r” judge from Arlington, WA) and Olivia Chapeski (USEF Diamond Achievement award) judged tests ranging from Introductory Walk-Trot to USEF Third level. Several disciplines of dressage were also represented at the show: USEF, USEA, WWDA and Prix Caprilli.
Division high-score awards (sponsored by CHS Mountain West Co-op) were awarded following the conclusion of each division, and the season over-all high-score award was awarded to Tiffany Burgad and her Andalusian gelding Gavilan Ray.
Congratulations to the competitors and many thanks to everyone who made the show series such a success: riders & their support team, trainers, judges, volunteers and the facilities crew for the Horse Park.
Bobbie Thompson (Bobbie Thompson Photography) was at the show to capture the moments and we have a few photos to share with you of the Division winners.
