The NMDA dressage schooling show at Trinity Ranch, August 15, 2021 opened with absolutely gorgeous weather. That is until about 3:00 when we had to retire to the indoor arena as the thunder rolled and the rain briefly came down. By 3:30 the sun was back and we proceeded with the show as if nothing had happened. Thank you to all the volunteers that helped set up, run tests, and then take down and pack the canopies and show equipment: Tim Nielson, Mgr at Trinity Ranch; Sophia Hoekstra, resident instructor and wrangler of a half dozen kids that ran tests and helped wherever needed; Winnie Fitch, scorer; Sarah Turner, scorer; Ann Bresson, scribe; Virginia Gredell, gate; Julie Wilson, gate and bit checker. And of course, our judge - Cynthia Ganem "L w/distinction" - "R" in WD. If I missed anyone please be thanked.

Another schooling show is done and dusted. I really want to thank all the volunteers: John & DJ Collins for their beautiful facility, George Davis who kept the parking lot organized, Maria Davis who was our scribe, Ann Bresson who worked with me scoring, Liz and Mary who worked the gates, Barbara Burkhardt, who did bit checking and filled in where needed, and anyone I might have forgotten.
Unfortunately, the heat got to me in the afternoon and I had to either leave or pass out from heat exhaustion. More thanks to DJ who stepped up to score after I left.
And a BIG THANK YOU to all the horses and their riders who just powered through the heat and had very good rides. What a marvelous achievement for you all! Thanks to our judge, Sharron Sarchet, as well.
Hopefully, it will be a bit cooler for the rest of the shows.

- April 18, 2021 NMDA Schooling Show at Cherry Tree Farm
We had a very successful first schooling show on Sunday. I want to thank everyone who attended and also thank the volunteers. Barbara Burkhardt stepped up to judge the show when, with very short notice, the original judge cancelled. Ann Bresson worked with me in the office scoring, George Davis helped John Collins keep the parking lot organized; Cindy Kavan-Winfield and Mary Jaz managed the gates of the warm-up arena and show arena and answered a million questions; Maria Davis scribed and did a great job. Maribeth and friends managed the tack/equipment sale and swap - it made over $100.00 for the Education Fund! DJ Collins acted as runner and also answered questions and helped keep everyone and everything organized. A big thanks to Nance McManus for taking the entries and doing the scheduling. Even the weather cooperated and even though it was pretty chilly, especially in the morning, there was no rain and minimal wind. And as always, a big thank you to John and DJ Collins for letting us use their beautiful facility.
We had 44 rides, which is the biggest show we've had in a while and it was wonderful to have the horses and their people out and about for a live and in person show again - the last show NMDA had was in October of 2019, so it's been a while.
High point Junior was Gabriel Montoya riding Ciarra
High point Adult Amateur was Laura Hunsucker riding Adore Me
High point Western Dressage rider was Teresa Heine riding Perpetual Donnatello in his very first show.
If I've left anyone off the list of volunteers, I apologize.
Thanks to everyone who made this show a success and hope to see you at our next schooling show: June 19 (Saturday) at Cherry Tree Farm. The show will be a USDF recognized schooling show and will also have recognition from WDAA and AQHA.

The last NMDA schooling show of the season was on Saturday at Cherry Tree Farm and it could NOT have been any better! We closed the show at over 50 rides and had to turn competitors away. Even though the weather started out chilly it soon warmed up to be perfect sun for the rest of the day. DJ and John Collins really outdid themselves this time. A thank you to them for sponsoring two $50 high score amateur awards: one for traditional and one for western dressage. Congratulations to Leslie Carpenter and Scarlet for their 70.344% and Nance McManus and Tiger for their 70.192%.
From co-management "McFitch", Winnie and Nance send a very heartfelt thank you to ALL of the volunteers including the ones whose names we never caught: Ann, Martha, DJ, John, Roger, and La Delle. Because of DJs great cooking we have a most wonderful volunteers' lunch in the sun.
Thank you too to our lovely judge Sharron Sarchet from Colorado who continued to be positive with her comments throughout the day. Thanks for helping to make it so fun to be at a schooling show! And thank you to all of the competitors that made our last show of the season the BEST!

A SUPER thank you to the volunteers of the July 7th Schooling Show! Thank you to Cindy Kavan-Winfield for scribing for our wonderful USEF judge Carolyn Lindholm from California. Thank you to our office crew Winnie Fitch, Ann Bresson, Shelley Bachicha (all the way from Santa Fe thank you!) and Susan Reed . Thank you to John and DJ Collins for their wonderful facility and hard work that makes holding shows so much easier.
Thank you to our highest percentage score prizes sponsor Winnie Fitch. Speaking of highest percentage tests congratulations to: Audrey Jessen for High Percentage Junior, Leslie Carpenter for High Percentage Adult Amateur Traditional ride, and Nance McManus High Percentage for Adult Amateur Western Dressage ride.
A special tip of the hat to the Western Dressage riders for coming to our show after riding two days in Santa Fe with the Arabian Horse Association of New Mexico. The three of you combined rode 24 tests in 3 days!!
- June 2, 2019 NMDA Schooling Show at Trinity Ranch
The June 2 show at The Trinity Ranch was rescheduled due to weather from the original date of
May 12, 2019. This impacted the net financial results of the show although all who participated
enjoyed and learned. Several new memberships were submitted.
The new date was set for one week before the Dennison Park show in Albuquerque. Some of
the original riders chose to wait for the DP show. Others chose to do TTR show in order to
avoid going to "back-to-back"
