CDCTA Ride - Critique - Ride with Claudia Tarlov
(Opening date May 7, Closing date May 25)
Grand View Stable, Columbia, CT
Questions? Contact Mary Beth Bain marybethbain@gmail.com, 860-537-6143
Entry form click here
Claudia is a USDF Silver Medalist, FEI Trainer/Competitor and an USDF “L” with Distinction judge. She has helped to organize USDF judge programs and is former member of the New England Dressage Association Board of Directors as well as the USDF Council of Competitors. Her students appreciate her sincere concern for the well-being of themselves and their horse and her commitment to correct training.
How Does a R-C-R Work? The rider will first ride their test. The judge will then provide verbal feedback to the rider about how the test can be improved. The rider will leave the arena and return to re-ride the same test a second time during which the test will be scored using an USEF test sheet. The rider will receive this score sheet back. Sessions will be approximately 30 minutes long for each R-C-R. No ribbons or other prizes will be awarded and placings are not tallied.
