The Heidelberg Cup 1 & 2 are coming up on March 28-29! These are two separate shows held on consecutive days in one weekend. You are eligible to receive two Qualifying scores in one weekend! We have Highscore Awards and Breed Awards Each Day with wonderful prizes and ribbons! The Heidelberg Cup Champion and Reserve Champion will be the 2 highest FEI Scores (excluding Freestyles and Young Horse Tests) for the weekend. A new award will be Champion and Reserve Champion High Scores produced by either an Amateur, Junior or Young Rider (excluding Freestyles and Young Horse Tests).

We did have a change in our judges for this show. Sarah Gieke has had to cancel her judging position for this show due to personal reasons. In her place will be Margaret Freeman 'S' of New York. She will be joining Charlotte Trentleman 'S' of Florida in the judging booths. Due to volume of entries a 3rd competition ring has been added. Mrs. Susan Woods - 'R' of Florida will be joining us.

Sandra will be posting the times on the web on Wednesday, March 25th. She will also be emailing you with the complete ride time list. Please note that the fax# has changed, the new number is 866-924-2038.

Saturday evening we will have the competitor's party and dinner. This month we will be feasting on appetizers, barbecue chicken, veggies, baked beans, salad, coleslaw, and of course yummy desserts. So plan to join us after the competition on Saturday, relax, visit with fellow riders and sip a glass of wine, beer or old-fashioned lemonade!

I've been listening to your comments and therefore we are are trying something new at the Heidelberg shows. In classes with 3 or more entries, we award a ribbon and a choice of a prize. You will now be able to choose a $10 certificate in lieu of the ribbon and prize. This certificate will be good for 1 year at any Orlando Dressage show. All you have to do is include your certificate with your next entry and deduct the $10 from the total. If you have other ideas, please contact Gayle at wittyhorse@embarqmail.com or 352-357-9696.

Looking forward to a great show!
