FIX-a-TEST on New Year's Day 2013: C A N C E L E D. Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn't have very nice plans for New Year's Day, so we have decided to cancel the Ride-Review-Ride at Dutchfield Farm on January 1st. Thank you for entering and we will just tear up your check. If we are able to run another one at a later date, we will let you know. HAPPY NEW YEAR and stay inside, warm and dry! * * * * * NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2012 * * * * * New Years Day 2013: Let's do it again!!

Judge Kris Hamilton did an amazing job and everybody came away with some good information to improve their dressage tests.  The Dutch Oliebollen and Appelflappen, a tradition in the Netherlands at New Year, seemed to be enjoyed, with the Oliebollen at number 1. Cora, the rescue horse, wants to thank everybody that participated and for the generous donations.
And a huge thank you to the volunteers as without them this would not have been possible.
