Dressage at Saratoga

Another beautiful weekend in Saratoga at the racetrack for the annual Dressage at Saratoga organized by ENDYCTA. This is one of the most fun shows on the East coast to attend because of the location at the track and all of the events that coincide with the show. There was the antique car show, petting zoo, many vendors and rides so that the weekend offers something for the entire family. The horses are stabled where all the race horses live for August. This is an easy show no matter what the weather because of the permanant stalls and shedrows with convenient overhangs to protect us from the sun or rain. Riding on the track is so much fun, especially galloping a dressage horse on the back stretch after riding in front of the grandstand.

Congratulations to Joa who won several classes in training level and first level on her partner, Kestrel.
