2018 CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Educational Seminar- All 2018 Seminars will held at the FENCE House
Wednesday May 16 Trail Riding Etiquette and Safety presented by Dot Moyer
“Since it is the 25th anniversary of FETA this year, I am calling the presentation "Ride Safe,
Ride Friendly: 25 Years of 'Just Trail Riding' in Tryon Horse Country." The main focus will be
on preserving our trails and trail riders thru rider safety and etiquette. This will be a fun "sit
around the campfire" type presentation with lots of opportunity for attendees to share practical
knowledge, skills and tall tales.”
We would like to donate the honorarium to FENCE in honor of the founders of FETA and
FENCE, recognizing their outstanding contribution to the protection of land and way of life in
our area.”
Wednesday June 20 “The Foothills Riding Club is thrilled to present a Dressage Scribe
Clinic with Margaret Freeman, USDF "S" Judge, local rider and frequent clinician with the
Lendon Gray's nationally recognized "Dressage4Kids" program. Margaret is a freelance
writer/editor who covered the equestrian events at seven Olympic Games for the Associated
Press, she is executive secretary of the USDF and has been judging for 30 years and judging
at the "S" level for 18 years.
This clinic will focus on the role and duties of the scribe, and will provide essential real-time
practice at scribing current USDF Dressage tests from First level to FEI including a Dressage
Freestyle (via video). Additionally, Margaret is encouraging anyone to "Ask the Judge" all
those questions they may have always wanted to ask.
Cost is $5 FRC members, $10 non-members. Door prize will be a set of On the Levels
dressage tests DVDs as donated by Margaret herself! Those who wish to participate are
requested to email the FRC Educational co-chair Barbara Clarke at jbbaclarke@hotmail.com in
order to pre-register."
