I always look forward to the annual show each year. We have a 50 year history of top competition, sportsmanship, and fun and I know this year will be no exception. This year is particularly special, be sure to come check out the fun activities we have planned to celebrate this great organizations 50th Anniversary. Congratulations to all the competitors, sponsors, grooms, owners, friends, and family. You all work hard to qualify to have the honor of competing at the Championship show and it takes a team to compete at this high level. Your support is what makes every show possible especially Championships. This year we have a great turn out for the show with over 330 entries. Be sure to check out our 4, 5, & 6 year old futurities, breed show and Breeders Championship. This is a great opportunity to get a glimpse of the promising young prospects that are coming along. Saturday evening after the evening performance, be sure to come join us for refreshments and reflection on our last 50 years. Pick up a CDS 50th Anniversary year book. Learn about our history, reflect on the many exciting moments, and get your book signed by our past presidents, founding members, and friends. Terry Wilson, CDS Historian, will be sharing some fun history of the organization and its impact on the sport of dressage here in California and across the rest of the nation. I hope to see you all there having some cake and raising a glass to the last 50 years and what lies ahead for CDS! As always CDS and show management strive to give you the best experience possible. If you have any questions or need any help please, be sure to talk to Paula Langan your Rider Representative. There will be many board members here at the show to help as well. This year’s show is keeping with the growth trend we have been seeing the last few years which is fantastic. With this growth we need your help more than ever. If you have any time you can spare at the show please go to the show office and volunteer. I want you all to have a great show! Sincerely, Kevin T.
