A Note from Your Show Managers:

The beginning of 2008 was full of personal stresses for me and I stepped down as manager of the licensed show. Thankfully, Beckie Mitchell was willing to become the show manager and once again Bob Whitehurst offered to be our show secretary. I am thankful for the support of my fellow board members. And I know that the membership is also thankful that they have a hard working and dedicated board that is committed to offering a licensed show in the southwest region.

Off to a slow start, we need all of the help we can get! As you all know, a successful show depends on volunteers. The SWVADA SPRING show is the one licensed show that SWVADA manages each year. This is your chance to help your organization host a show that invites new dressage competitors and promises another great show to returning competitors.

I'd like to invite back our core of volunteers who have helped make this show a success in the past and I'd like to invite new volunteers. It doesn't matter if you don't have any experience. This is the chance to learn something new, make friends in the dressage community, and have FUN!

Keep checking this page on the website for future updates!

Smiles,

Nancy Stone
