Fall Fling
August 24-25 finds the California
Dressage Society’s Fall Fling at Golden
Hills Farm. Off of Creston Road
near Geneseo, the lovely farm sports a
covered dressage court for the horses to
be put through their paces. A variety of
uniform tests will be offered for various
levels of horses and riders. Each examines
the skill and physical development
of the horses. “S” judge Hilda Gurney
will travel to us. If the numbers warrant,
a second judge will also be ready.
This event is ASEF, USDF, CDS, and
AQHA approved for points. Contact
