Show season plans..

Alright, so I've checked out the websites of the two showgrounds I'm hoping to show in. Both are schooling level, since we're not ready to hit the bigger stuff just yet. Might as well perfect your stuff on schooling before playing with the big boys, right? Haha.

Ideally, this is my show plans:

May 25th - Hack division
June 15th - Beginner/ 18" course
June 22nd - Hack division
July 13th - [MAYBE] Novice (2') division
July 27th - Hack division
August 17th - [MAYBE] Novice division (2')
August 24th - Novice division (2')
September 14th - Novice division (2')

Also,
I'm planning on attending the Pink Ribbon Ride dressage show at a nearby show grounds. All proceeds benefit the Princess Margaret Weekend to End Breast Cancer and the Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation. I know diddly squat about actual Dressage shows, but I'm going to wing it simply because I feel so strongly to participate and "give" money for those charities in a way that is both fun, helpful and can gain experience.

I'm likely only going to do Test A of the Walk/Trot division. It'll give me something to focus on for a few months.
The show is on June 29th.
And of course, I'm going to embarrass my "macho" gelding with pink polos and pink saddle pad! Why not? And I'll have to go on a search for a crisp pink polo shirt. :)

I'll try and get photos from the shows and post them on here as well.
So that's it for now,

I'll update soon.
