Decision Comments:
50% up to $500 for a fall “A” level show.
Nominator Information
Justification:
Mandy has moved up to the “A” level shows. This is very expensive and it would be great for her to receive some assistance to attend a local show this fall.
Nominee Information
Justification:
Even though I’ve been riding for awhile, I just started doing the competitive “A” shows. It’s not necessarily something I do to be competitive as a rider–though who doesn’t like to think they might beat the pants off everyone in their division?–I do them as skills check, to see how I’m progressing in my area and to gauge how my fantastic equine is progressing with me. It’s also a good way for to me take back things that I really need to work on at home. Unfortunately, due to having an income and a half, since the significant other is in school, I’m not able to go to these shows very regularly. I set aside a little each month to accrue in my show account and can only go when I have enough to cover my expenses. I usually write about my experiences after each show, so those who don’t show, or maybe will show in the future, can get a glimpse of what it’s like to go out there and be in the ring with just you, your horse, and the judge (and all those people watching from the rail).
