Riders who are staying out of the way of the coronavirus have a few more options than people whose sports take place inside or in crowded areas. Still, we all want to be safe and follow Massachusetts guidelines for keeping safe and healthy. Entries for our first virtual show opened June 29th and close July 17th. Once you have entered, ride and record your test between July 18th and 31st. Send in your test, and get your results! The fee is $25.00 for members and $30.00 for non-members.
Here are some quick guidelines so you can plan your test.
- Please follow your local guidelines or restrictions regarding social distancing.
- An ASTM/SEI Certified helmet must be worn at all times when mounted.
- Each test must be ridden from start to finish in one take with audio enabled so we may hear natural sounds and the caller (if used). Test callers are permitted. Coaching NOT permitted.
- Dress and turnout are optional, show attire not required.
- Arena does not have to be regulation-sized but it must have letters visible.
- Film from C, start the video before rider turns down centerline. Zoom as appropriate so that you can see the ENTIRE horse and the arena letters on the ground or wall. The judge needs to be able to see the entire horse at ALL times.
- Upload your video with:
- Your name
- Your horse’s name
- Test that your rode (for example: “SallyBurton Sully FirstLevelTest2”)
- Send a link to the show secretary.
- You will receive your completed scoresheet and test comments via mail.
The CRDA Virtual Schooling Shows page on the CRDA website will be updated with additional details for uploading your video. Have a great ride!
