Lilo Fore Clinic - Closing Date March 25

Cimarron Note:  Please contact your DC or RS Susie Piguet for more information.
*****

Lilo Fore is coming to the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area for a New Test Symposium April 16-17.  Attached is the registration form with all the information.  The facility has cabins to rent onsite, full RV hookups, or hotels are within 20-30 minutes in downtown Tulsa and/or at the Tulsa airport.  Catered lunches are available and we'll have a catered cookout on Saturday night with a chance to visit with Lilo.

 

    Even If you are an EVENTER or NEW TO DRESSAGE this is the perfect opportunity to find out what dressage is all about and to learn how to ride an accurate test.

 

    Lilo will be going over the all the new national tests from Intro through 4th level as she did at the USDF Convention in Jacksonville, FL, in December. 

   

    This is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the best instructors and judges in the country.  She will lecture in the mornings and as we watch the demo riders will explain how the tests relate to the training scale and how to improve specific movements to increase scores. 

 

Hope to see you here!

New Member Packets Waiting on Pins

We wanted to make everyone aware that we are currently in a “holding
pattern” for our New Member packets.  Our Pony Club pins are on backorder so
we’re waiting for those to arrive before mailing out any additional packets.

The USPC Bookstore has a very limited quantity of pins still available if
any club does need to purchase one for an upcoming Pony Club event.

If one of your new members has not yet received a packet and you’d like to
confirm that an application has been received here at the office, please do
not hesitate to give me a call or send me an e-mail and I would be happy to
check on the status of their application.

Thank you,
