On the Bit Schooling Show
Up Dated August 4, 2025
Hello! We are excited to send out the Prize List for our next Show, September 7, with judge Jackie Duncan, “L” in the dressage ring and the Jump 4 Fun will be running in the jump ring. This show during lunch, along with lead line, we will also hold a Stick Horse Derby. Both classes are free and entries encouraged! Be sure to bring your own stick horse. Prizes for each entry!
Due to the holiday weekend, our close date for Dressage is earlier, Friday, August 29. We will not be accepting late dressage entries for this show. Be sure to get your entries in plenty early as the show has filled and we’ve waitlisted people in the past. Payment must be included with entry, no acceptions. Check mailed or Credit Card is accepted, no cash please. Jump 4 Fun entries are accepted up through and on the day of the show. Special requests such as ride times or order of classes/horses, etc. need to be notated on entry; we will make accommodations when possible.
We appreciate our volunteers and rely on them for an efficient and timely show. We will be offering a volunteer of the year award. Please let us know if you are interested in helping out! A sign up genius will be available soon.
See you in September!

It’s hard to believe that it’s time for our second show of the season! We have Susan Nelson Thibault, “L” graduate, returning to judge; she was our judge at the September show.
Our returning vendors include AJSK Photography, Dressage Queen Dream, Slick Horseware and La Dolce Vita. The Traditional Equestrian, Dressage Queen Dream, Slick Horseware and Amelia Newcomb Dressage have all supplied us with prizes for competitiors. We are very thankful for our vendors and sponsors!
Remember, to qualify for our year end awards, horse and rider combinations are required to compete in 3 out of 4 of our shows. We have been so excited with the popularity of our shows, and each one has grown in number. Thank you all so much for your support of our shows.
