Dressage Desperados

Who are we?

We are a group of Dressage Fanatics in the Prescott-Area that have a ton of fun together... Dressage Desperados know how to work hard and play even harder!

What is the purpose of our club?

Enthusiasm for Dressage is growing all around us, even in the more remote areas of the western USA. So we formed this club to put on more schooling shows in addition to the shows the NAC provides. This way people can get their horses out to different places throughout the year and attend schooling shows without having to drive down to the valley. Saves gas, time and money...brings fun. Sounds good.

Our plan is to provide four shows in 2011. Again we are looking forward to host one or two higher rated judges and two L-graduates. This concept worked great in the past years and was appreciated by the competitors with a lot of feedback and attendance. For 2011 we will continue to put on shows with a supportive and fun atmosphere, special rail classes, prize-drawings and different opportunities to win awards. We are happy to be able to keep American Ranch as our host that offers much space for parking and warm-up and that has the option to move to a covered arena, just in case we would get rained or snowed on.

When is the next schooling show?

SHOW #18 on SEPTEMBER 9th, 2012

Dressage Desperados has a new Junior Rider Program

Beginning with our schooling show on October 16, 2011, we will be giving a prize at each of our shows to the Junior Rider with the highest score for the day. We will also be giving a year-end high point award to the Junior Rider with the highest qualifying score for the year. Normally, a rider must ride in three of the four shows we conduct in a year in order to qualify, but because we had to cancel one of our shows in 2011 due to the EHV-1 outbreak and another because of loss of our venue, for 2011 the Junior Riders need only ride in two of our shows to qualify. Otherwise, the same rules that apply to all year end awards will apply to the Junior Riders Program as well.
