PRESIDENT’S LETTER September 2017
TDC members,
We made it through the hot summer and getting closer to my favorite riding weather!! Cool mornings and warm days and hopefully no more triple digits!! And lots of fun events on the horizon.
The Debbie McDonald Symposium is around the corner and it’s going to be such a fun weekend. If you have been thinking about coming and haven’t registered, I urge you to do so soon. This is truly a special event and you won’t want to miss it. We are so honored to have Debbie McDonald coming to Tucson! In addition to a terrific opportunity to learn from Debbie, we’ll have her books available, door prizes and a lovely bridle from Dressage Extensions for a raffle. And a reminder, if you are coming in from out of town and need overnight accommodations, there is a block of rooms reserved at Hilton Garden Inn Tucson Airport through September 15th or until sold out so call right away. Dressage Universities: In case you missed the August 19th Dressage University by Dorie Vlatten-Schmitz, How Conformation Impacts Your Performance and Your Wallet - Choosing the Right Horse for the Job, it was excellent! The attendees requested a follow-up with Dorie who graciously agreed to come back, so be sure to watch the DU schedule, probably after the new year. Coming Up: • September 16th 2-4 - Lameness Treatments and Biologics For Performance – presented by Jackpot Equine Be sure to check the TDC web site for the show schedule And don’t forget, this is your club and TDC is not just for those who go to horse shows. Would you like to have more social events? More dressage universities? Do you have suggestions for the next symposium? We are eager to hear your ideas regarding club events. Please send your thoughts to any member of the board and we’ll do our best to make it happen!! Happy riding, Nancy Nancy H. McGibbon TDC President
