Hello Everyone,     I am the education coordinator for Oklahoma Dressage Society and we are in the planning stages of offering Part 1 Sessions A, B, and C of the L program starting possibly late this year (early Dec?) and concluding in March of 2011.      I am writing to you today to let you know of our plans and to see if your GMO members would be interested in participating and/or providing demo riders.  We plan to hold the sessions in the Tulsa and/or Oklahoma City areas.  The program allows for 30 participants and unlimited silent auditors.  Session A recommends nine demo riders, Session B recommends 21 demo riders, and Session C recommends 15 riders.  It is preferred to not repeat riders in the sessions so, as you can see, quite a few are needed.  There need to be riders from Training, 1st, and 2nd levels.     At this time we are not planning to offer Part 2, which is the testing phase for those who want to take the final exam.     Please let me know your thoughts and possibility of participation. Thank you, Anne Kuhns OK  Dressage Society-board/Education This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
