Four types of shows are available to ADS members: (1) schooling shows; (2) farm shows; (3) rated shows; and (4) other non-ADS shows:

SCHOOLING SHOWS are fun-filled shows designed to give ADS members experience riding dressage movements under show conditions.   Each schooling show has a real USDF L Graduate to judge, a groomed and decorated arena, and an on-site show secretary. Ride times are scheduled. Scores are earned. Ribbons are awarded. Scores from schooling shows count towards ADS Year end awards.   ADS schooling shows are hosted by a farm owner, who helps ADS provide the volunteers needed to put on a dressage show.  It is a labor of love!
FARM SHOWS are similar to schooling shows, but are offered by private farm owners instead of by ADS. A farm show chooses its own entries secretary, hires its own judge, sends its own show flyers, and takes all financial risk for the show.  Like schooling shows, farm shows offer fun and lower-key opportunities to show your horse.  Beginners are welcome! Entries for farm shows go to the entries secretary designated by the farm.

RATED SHOWS (None scheduled for 2011) (also called recognized shows) are the real thing... shows that meet USDF and USEF standards for dressage shows in the United States. Scores from rated shows count towards regional and national championships and other national standings like USDF rider medals.  In addition to a qualified show secretary, a technical delegate (TD) is onsight to make sure that the show is run according to the high standards of US recognized dressage competitions. ADS' rated shows have previously been held at the Diamond TR arena in Perryville (near Little Rock). The large covered arena assures that the show can go forward even in inclement weather.

NON-ADS SHOWS are hosted by other clubs, such as the Rackensack Pony Club, the Arkansas Arabian Club, and the Delta Dressage Association in Memphis. These shows may be rated or not, and may count towards ADS end-of-year awards - or not. In order for a non-ADS show to count towards end of year awards, it must be "sanctioned" by an official vote of the ADS Board. Non-ADS shows have their own Show Secretaries so make sure you send those to the correct person.

Show Entries

5. Come to the show and have a blast!

Susan Peacock at www.showsecretary.com is the 2012 ADS show and entries secretary for all of its schooling shows. You simply fill out your show entry form and send it to her. Her address is listed on the entry form. The ADS Schooling Show entry form and class list will be posted on the ADS website as well as on www.showsecretary.com. After the closing date, usually 10 days before the show date, the show is scheduled with all of the classes and ride times. The schedule and ride times will be posted on www.showsecretary.com.

On the day of the show, the secretary checks in each rider and gives out the entry packets and bridle numbers. She also receives, tallies and posts the scores from each ride. The results will be posted on www.showsecretary.com
