there are 15 in Grand Prix

down and have them check all your memberships and ask you all the important questions. Do you want to get your medals? Do you want to go to state and/or regional championships? Do you want to try to compete for a breed award? It’s also best to find this friend at the beginning of the show year and not mid-year where you have already spent half your year with all the wrong memberships and forms and now can’t qualify for anything. (Yes, that was me). Also (and this I only discovered last night) ADA has a very helpful list on their website that shows you what memberships you need. Go here -https://azdressage.org/become-member/

The USDF also has an “Entry Checklist” form that has a lot of useful info. Look for it on page 17 of this newsletter.

And, for those of you that want to be an expert on everything you never knew you needed to know to entry a dressage show, you can read all 32 pages written by Leslie Raulin by following this link - http://www.frederickdressage.org/uploads/3/7/3/8/37380471/2019-03-07_how-to-enter-usefusdf-shows.pdf

The ADA Schooling Show Committee would like to thank every owner, rider, trainer and volunteer who came out to support us at the ADA Schooling Show at Dale Creek Equestrian Center on Saturday, October 16. We had a bit of a panic when our two volunteers canceled the week of the show but we made it happen with first time show manager, Sandy Shoup, and amazing volunteers Rebecca Lindy, RheaAnn Redmond and Amy Burnett. Special thanks to Julie Swanson and Jen & Paul Tobie for offering their help in our time of need! The committee is working on a possible December schooling show in Scottsdale. Fingers crossed!

Thank you, Michell Combs Last schooling show as ADA's 2nd Vice President
