Back by popular demand, is Drop In Dressage!
Now as a GVDS sponsored event, expect the same high quality instruction for both English and western riders, from Julie Burt and Megan Bretey, both “L” judges, but with a new enhancement this year! Members will have the option to add on a cavaletti or Prix Caprilli clinic, led by Jolene Perry, at some of the sessions. Riders can do one or both of the clinics. The two options must be entered separately.
As GVDS will offer Prix Caprilli classes (a low level dressage test with two jumps) at the schooling shows in 2026, what a perfect way to cross train your horse with either of these options.
All clinics will be held at the Mesa County Fairgrounds, some conveniently available on weekends.
