In our First Level Division, Laura Jacquard from West Valley was our only competitor. Laura rode both the First Level A and B tests and it was an excellent opportunity for our younger riders to observe dressage at the higher level.

During the awards presentation, Marion Foote (Dressage Judge) was recognized for her professionalism and dedication to the sport. Marion's family and horses were evacuated from their home on Friday night due to the forest fire that threatened homes and horse facilities in the Porters Lake area.

Competitors from the June 15th Qualifier will join the competitors from the June 14th qualifier held in Truro on August 16th for the NS Regional Dressage Championships at CNHP.
