I have been organizing my 2013 show binder and penciling in which shows we will attend. Daughter has her barn's show meeting this Friday, so those will be added in around my shows.
I sent in my membership form for Indiana Dressage Association - first time to be a member :) And bonus, cheaper for daughter and I to join/renew at the same time.
Here is my tenative schedule:
March 23rd - Dressage at CAF in Sheridan
April 20th - Heartland Show at Edinburgh
May 11th - Indiana Dressage Schooling Show at Edinburgh
June 15th - Dressage at CAF in Sheridan
July 28th - Indiana Dressage Schooling Show at Edinburgh
August 10th - Indiana Dressage Schooling Show at Noblesville
September 28th - Indiana Dressage Championships and Schooling at Edinburgh
October 12th - Dressage at CAF in Sheridan
November 9th (if weather is like it was last November!) - CAF in Sheridan
- unless Alexis is at Regionals in KY, which is Nov. 7th - 10th
Really looking forward to showing Training Level this year and seeing the blog friends, who I met last year, out showing.
Now, if it would just hurry up and get warm!

Sounds fun, I look forward to reading about them!
What a tragedy, the only time our paths cross (that I know of...) is Heartland! Unless Austen and Guinness decide to haul us along to another IDS show this summer. I honestly don't know what my barn's schedule is, but we don't do a whole lot of that straight Dressagin', sadly.
Hey I think Regionals are in Illinois this year. Right? I could be wrong. Anyway - will hopefully see you at some HHP shows!
I hear you! So close yet so far!
Bring on the shows!!! :)
It's all coming so close, I look froward to seeing how this year goes for you guys :)
Hey! You match up with most of my shows! Well, the ones that include jumping! I plan on making it to that March CAF show too. Hope it doesn't snow on us.
ummm, what show in Noblesville in August?
Exciting, you're going to have a fun year! I hope all your shows go well!
Stanthehorse - the August show in Noblesville is on the IDS calendar - at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. I have never been there - but plan to this year!
Can't wait to hear how you do!!! And just cause I really don't know ... are any of these USDF/USEF shows? Are the non-schooling shows IDS rated and the schooling shows un-rated?
It is so fascinating how shows are run in different states. Does IDS offer incentive or awards? The California Dressage Society (CDS) has a list of awards that even the lowest level riders can aim for. In 2011 I earned a certificate and for 2012 I am getting a metal plate that attaches to a perpetual plaque.
Karen(with Hampton) - I think you are right about Regionals being in Illinois this year. I saw Dressage Finals in KY listed on the IDS calendar and thought that was Regionals!
Speedy G - all the shows I plan to attend this year are un-rated schooling shows. The shows at CAF in Sheridan are not IDS approved, so they can not count towards year end awards. IDS does offer year end awards, but from what I have read on your blog and one in PA, other states have more to offer than Indiana.
I'm looking forward to following along this year! I hope you get to go to all of your shows you picked out. :D
