Four Star Farm Schooling Shows are held on-site at Valley Dressage. These shows give riders the opportunity to experience competition in a familiar, relaxed and encouraging environment. Riders may enter a dressage test only or a combined test, which is a dressage test and show jumping round.
For those riding Four Star Farm horses, assignments will depend on the clients who enter. Prior to entering, please consult with your instructor about whether your rider is ready and which class or classes they should enter. Natalie will review and approve entries to ensure everyone’s success!
Entry fees include the per-class coaching fee(s). For these shows, the Four Star Farm horse-use fee is waived. Thank you for participating!
Dressage judge: Colleen Reid
Attire
