Dressage Tests

Hi Guys!

I have now added links to the Dressage tests under "Forms" on the left-hand side of this page under the calendar. Thanks to Emmalee for pointing out that I needed to include them here!

If you have trouble with any of the links, please let me know. On some of them you might have to scroll down to find the download that you are looking for.

Have a great ride!

Note from Ellen

Hi Guys!

The Mounted Meeting today was great! We also had several people stop by who were interested in joining our Pony Club, and I appreciate everyone's friendliness and willingness to answer questions. You all represented RVPC very well! Thanks to Emmy H. and Casey K. for teaching.

Check out "In the Spotlight" to the left of this note. The pictures from today's MM are there.

Reminders:

1. If you would like to attend Highlands Pony Club's MM next Sunday, March 29, please RSVP as soon as you can to Debbie W. (dewilso2@vt.edu) and Lennie A. (ricanderton@msn.com) and let them know what your rating level is. Directions to Bedlam Manor Farm (where they hold their meetings) are on our calendar to the left if you click on this item on March 29.

2. There will be a Rating Prep at our next MM (April 5) for our new members who have never rated before. Margaux L. will teach and she will help you know what to expect and make sure you're on track to be ready. She will work with you around your ride time for the Ride-A-Test, so don't forget to RSVP to Laura and Cathy so you can be sure to get a ride time with the dressage judge.

RVPC Open House: March 22

Please plan to attend our Open House on Sunday, March 22, at Green Hill Park Equestrian Center. We'll start at noon for a pot luck meal and then start our Mounted Meeting at 1 PM. Members should be dressed appropriately and ready to meet new folks and answer any questions anyone might have for them. People interested in our club, please feel welcome to come and share a meal and ask questions and meet people and watch a lesson or two!

Of course it's still iffy weather out there, so we'll make the call by Saturday afternoon if we need to cancel this meeting. If so, the make-up date will be April 5, same time and location. I'll post here if the meeting does get canceled.

Members, be sure to RSVP to both Laura and Cathy THIS WEEK for this meeting!

Quiz Rally Results

Way to go RVPCers! Our Rising Stars team (Shannon and Leah scrambled with two members of Oakside Stables) came in second in their division, and our Senior D team (Emmalee, Erin, and Anna scrambled with one member of Oakside Stables) came in 10th in their division. We are so proud of all of you - it was everyone's first time at any Rally, and you guys represented our club quite well!

Dressage Rally, Anyone?

Hi guys! It's time to decide whether or not you want to attend Dressage Rally. It's April 18-19 at the Virginia Horse Center (VHC) and the deadline to get your rally paperwork to Adele is March 13. To get your paperwork, look below the calendar on the left side of this page under "Forms" and click on "All Rally Information". This will take you to the regional rally page and all the forms you need are there.

This is a great rally for all pony clubbers - they do have a Rising Stars division, so every single one of you can attend if you want! And each team will need a stable manager, so if you have been to at least one rally before, do think about being SM for our team(s).

Any questions? Email Cathy or Adele. Have fun!
