Happy Easter Everyone,
Our March meeting was a vibrant gathering, showcasing the welcoming community spirit that defines our organization. The enthusiasm and engagement from attendees were palpable as we welcomed Martha Nicoll, who delivered an enriching PowerPoint presentation titled “So Much More Than the Final Score.” Tailored to accommodate drivers of all experience levels, Martha expertly guided us through each movement in the Training Level A test, highlighting the key components that judges focus on. Her thorough discussion on the nuances of scoring—from a 2 to a perfect 10—was particularly enlightening, allowing members to grasp the intricacies of performance evaluation. Moreover, Martha’s encouraging tips on utilizing scores to craft personal training goals inspired attendees to reflect on their individual journeys toward improvement in their driving skills. The lively Q&A session that followed demonstrated the appreciation we all felt for her expertise, as participants openly shared their questions and challenges.
Additionally, please mark your calendars for the François Bergeron long lining and dressage clinic on May 2nd and 3rd. Day one will be a demo on long-lining and day two dressage driving.
