Championship Eligibility

Riders – please check the list below for your eligibility to compete in the Championship class at the DVCTA Championship Schooling Show in September.  If you need one more score,  there is still time to enter the August Schooling Show.  For those who need volunteer hours,  The Horse Trials at Carousel Park (8/22) and the Schooling Show (8/29) still have open slots for volunteers. 

Championship  -  Volunteer Hours Aug.20

Please note this list is for the Championship show.  For End of Year Awards riders need 3 qualifying scores from 3 judges (the Championship Show does count) of at least 58% or better, with one of the scores coming from the highest test of the level (e.g. Training 4, Third 3, etc.).

Please contact Mollie Cameron,  ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you have a question about your show record.  Please contact Liz Bailey ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )   if you have a question or update for your volunteer hours.

NOTE: That there will not be a combined test included for the championship show. Those members competing at the horse trials and combined tests that are DVCTA 'approved' according to the rules, will be recognized under the 'year end awards' criteria.

We are gearing up for the 2010 DVCTA Dressage schooling shows and need VOLUNTEERS  to help manage the shows.  We will need 3 to 5 volunteers each show for jobs such as, scribes, runners, parking cars, and scorers.  There are half-day positions, as well as full day, and lunch is provided.  This is a great way to earn your qualifications for the DVCTA Year-End Awards, and don't forget the  DVCTA Dollars which are a good way to lower your costs for showing & clinics.
