Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 2nd Cowboy Dressage Gathering and Finals Show. We are very pleased to embrace you all as
you join our Cowboy Dressage Partnership and Lifestyle.
This new discipline is for you. The integrity and future of Cowboy Dressage are in your hands. This is a huge
and daunting responsibility. It will take deep moral conscience and dedication to preserve Cowboy Dressage in
its original vision.
When you are at a crossroads with your horse and your partnership go back to the Hand Shake. When your
competitive spirit becomes stronger than your partnership, go back to the Hand Shake. When your patience is
tested by horse or human, go back to the Hand Shake. The Hand Shake is Cowboy Dressage's center. Seek it and
you will find your own balance.
Be kind, choose the moral high ground in all things horses and Cowboy Dressage will be here for your children,
grandchildren and all of their horses.
Live well, ride well, and have fun!!!

* A note about gaited horses: Gaited horses may ride in any test division appropriate for their rider (Open, Am, Jr), but will be judged
on the Walk/Jog/Lope gaits defined in the test. If the gaited horse cannot “jog”, this may result in a very low score. We would hope the
gaited horses wholeheartedly support the Gaited Test Division, which is designed specifically for the gaited horse.
* Cross Entering Tests and Rider Divisions is allowed if the definitions above apply.
%
CALLERS%
%
The rider is encouraged to memorize their tests. The use of a caller is not mandatory. Cowboy Dressage World allows
the rider to use a caller of their choice, however, the ultimate responsibility for accurate and correct riding of the test
falls upon the rider. If the rider chooses to use a caller, it is the rider’s responsibility to arrange for one. Cowboy
Dressage World will not be providing callers for riders.

A Note About Freestyle: If you are considering showing any of the freestyles please be mindful:!
!
The Cowboy Dressage Freestyle is a showcase of accomplishments between horse and rider through the levels. The
horse and rider must be prepared and able to do the Cowboy Dressage maneuvers successfully with grace, finesse, and
respect the freestyle deserves. Partnership, Harmony, and Soft Feel are still a priority when scoring the Freestyle. The
Freestyle should be fun and entertaining, while still a celebration of our finest horsemanship.
Use of whips/crops/spurs – only one whip may be carried during a ride. A crop or standard dressage whip not to
exceed 4’ in length is allowed. Excessive use of the whip or spurs will be penalized.
