MDS is very excited to be hosting the USDF L Program Part 1 (Sessions A, B & C) in 2010.  It’s been many years since MDS has hosted the Learning Judge program which is required if a person wishes to move on the r Judge program.  This lecture series is a great educational event for riders to learn more about how dressage tests are judged.  The 3 weekends will be held at Pineland Farms Equestrian Center in New Gloucester.  The first session is A: February 6&7 with Lois Yukins, session B: April 10 & 11 with Betsy Berrey & session C: May 29&30 with Sandy Howard.
