Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Sport Horse in hand class

Hi Valerie
We're taking Riverdance to his first Sporthorse class in August. I am 
having an expert (only one in the US that is certified to show in 
Holland) train and show him for the first time. In the open shows there 
is more to it than meets the eye--- a dressage bent to the class. The 
horse has to demonstrate elevation and suspension as well as 
reach/freedom of shoulder...
AND... there is a lot of running so better do some marathons!
I'll let you know how it goes in Sept.
