Update on our beloved recognized letterman jacket program.

June Brewer — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 18:36:51 GMT

We have worked hard to keep this program afloat as the joy on the faces of those earning their jackets and patches is a highlight of the Gala every year. Just like any business or family, sometimes budgets are tight and sometimes we can make it rain money (not actually, but one can dream). With two years of not hosting the region 3 dressage championships, we have had to tighten the purse strings. A strict budget may not be fun, but it does ensure the longevity of the club and the many ways we try to enrich our Georgia horse community. We have long subsidized the recognized letterman program, but this year we can no longer absorb that cost. You will see a big jump in the price of the jackets, please know it is still not a profitable venture. This is a breakeven price. Turns out traditional letterman jackets are spendy. It is an absolute privilege for us to run this program and see our young equestrian athletes get recognized, and we hope to enjoy this program for years to come. We encourage our letterman athletes to get creative and earn some dollars to put towards their new jackets - bake sale, tack cleaning, mane pulling, arena mirror cleaning, etc. We will be happy to share their ventures to help spread the word.

A whole lotta changes are a-coming!

June Brewer — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 19:34:54 GMT

Since GDCTA is not hosting the money earning region 3 championship show either in 2023 or 2024 (and it now looks like GA has been cut out of 2025), we have had to make some decisions regarding our schedules and programs to save money for at least the next two years. Details to be shared soon!

Why Not Both? The Complementary Roles Played by Recognized and Schooling Competitions

June Brewer — Tue, 06 Oct 2020 17:39:25 GMT

Our very own Joanne Morse, Vice President of Eventing on our Board of Directors, was quoted in a recent article written by Leslie Threlkeld for US Eventing.

Joanne Morse, V.P. of Eventing at the Georgia Dressage and Combined Training Association (GDCTA) believes the quality of competition between recognized and schooling is comparable.

“We’re seeing a lot more of the higher quality judges,” Morse said. “It did used to be the ‘schooling show the judge will be kind.’ We’re not seeing the sugar coating anymore. Maybe for the amoeba riders, but at the same time, they’re giving them good feedback and still a very positive experience.”
