Redmond WA - Feb 26th- 6:30-9:00pm

See the dressage ring from the judge's box! Attend the popular "Learn to Scribe" seminar to learn the skills needed to be a scribe for a dressage judge. Attendees get priority to volunteer at EI March & April dressage schooling shows to practice new skills.

Beth Glosten is an accomplished FEI rider and an "L" judge program graduate. She will cover protocols, requirements, relevant rules and helpful hints to prepare for the job of scribe. Real time scribing will be practiced as Beth "judges" sample tests at Training, First and Second levels. A brief introduction to Scoring will also be included to help demystify what happens to that test once it leaves the judges booth!

Who is EI?
Different strokes for different folks... and that's great!  
Riding in a carriage behind a pair of Minis or four very large Fresians... Flying over a roll top on the finishing leg of a flawless cross-country round astride our favorite Thoroughbred... Sitting on our Hanoverian and trying one more time to nail that one transition in the dressage test we always seem to struggle with... 

Just one more try... before the drizzle we've been riding in becomes a downpour... before we must put the horse and carriage away to rush to work... just one more try before our family wonders if we'll ever get home tonight... 

We are first and foremost Equestrians, who love our horses and work for countless hours perfecting things many people don't understand or care about.  Eventing, Driving, Dressage - the three oldest Olympic equestrian disciplines.  The three disciplines EI supports with our competitions and educational events.  To learn more, read About EI.
