Hello NCC Members and others interested in Dressage,
The NCC of ODS is hosting it's last Schooling Show on Nov. 6th starting at 12 noon. Our judge that day is Denise Laigle. Denise is a "L" Graduate with distinction. Denise has judged for us many times before and we always look forward to her great and constructive comments. So please email me your entries ASAP since I didn't get the word out too fast about this last show NOT being a 2fer. Thanks for all of your support over the years.

Hello Dressage Enthusiasts of the NCC!!!
Well, it is going to be the fall before the NCC will be hosting their 2fer shows this year. Our tentative dates are Oct. 2nd and Nov.6th.
Remember now is the time to start getting your horses ready. It has been so hot not too many of us have been really riding regularly. But I do know of quite a few of you die hards that ride still everyday. My hat is off to YOU!! I can't handle the heat like I used to, but fall is just around the corner for all of us! All I can say to that is YAHOO!!
We will be posting the showbills soon and naming our judges so keep an eye out here and on the ODS website for more information. In case you don't know or just don't remember the 2fer shows are one show in the morning with one judge and a second show in the afternoon with another.
I like this idea since we couldn't spread them out this year. Haul once ride 2 shows, bathe (the horse) once ride 2 shows, Clip your horse once and ride 2 shows. Well, with todays economy this looks to be a promising idea.
Now we didn't come up with this Cheryl West of ATRC did and she shared it with us. Thank You Cheryl!!
Keep your eyes out for the showbill. We will be having "Western Dressage" if we get any interest in it.
Hope to see you ALL at the shows.

Hello All my NCC Friends and Family,
We have had one of the hottest summers on record and it is just beginning. You know we usually have 3 spring and 3 fall shows, well with our shows either getting rained out (would tickle me right now) or not filling, we have only had one schooling show so far this year. NOW, with that said I would like to have and am planning as I write this to have two double back shows in Sept and Oct. or Oct. and Nov. of course depending on our weather. It still maybe hotter than blazes in Sept and we go into Oct. and Nov.. I know each and everyone of our members, and I beleive that NONE of us are really wanting to test our abilities in this hot weather. So if it alright with you all we will begin getting our judges ready for the fall season. THAT MEANS YOU will have to start riding in the evenings and early mornings to get YOU ready. Funny isn't it we always say "It's too hot to ride" but you know that poor horse isn't in the air-conditioning he isn't too hot to be outside. My friends I am just as bad. I do NOT want to ride when it is 100 degrees out.
So with all of this in mine how about posting to this page and letting me know how you would feel about the 2fer shows we are thinking about doing.
What they are is this: we will hire 2 judges for the day. One will judge classes in the morning the other classes in the afternoon. You haul once
ride with 2 judges get 2 sets of scores. Only have to clean up and clip your horse one time. I though that it sounded like a GREAT idea to me.
OH and it means that either myself or Kim will only need to get the arena's ready once for 2 shows.
So please post your thoughts to this and lets get going again. Ziggy boy is ready willing and able to show now, but I am not. I am working out again and trying to get fit enough to stay ontop of him.... LOL.
Happy Transitions and post here to let me know.
