    ENYDCTA Organizer Class

    Purpose: 

    ENYDCTA is dependent on volunteers to continue and grow.  The purpose for this class is to train & jump start the development of organizer teams for ENYDCTA events. 

    Goal:

    To have a pool of organizers to maintain and develop ENYDCTA programs/events to prevent burn of a few organizers and to provide consistency as board terms change.  To have fun and meet other like minded people. 


    We want you even if you think you are disorganized.  

    Key difference between naturally organized people & disorganized people

    1. organized people are constantly looking ahead & anticipate things before they become urgent.

    2. disorganized people let life catch them off guard.

    3. Neither one is good or bad.  We all have our strengths and weakness.  You can develop the habits of an organized person even if you are “naturally” disorganized. 

     

    Event Planner Guides

    -ENYDCTA has event planner guides with a timeline that can help guide an organizer on things that need to be done to organize an event. 


    Mentors

    If you are new or already experienced to organizing,

    we can offer support as you learn the ropes. 


    Class is Free

    ENYDCTA SS #3

    Fix-a-Test & Fix-a-Round

    @ SUNY Cobleskill

    INDOOR ARENA


    Fix a Test & How it Works

    You will ride your dressage test and after your final salute, you will have a mini session on how to improve your test scores for 25 minutes with the USDF L grad. 

    You have the option to re-ride the test again (before the 30 minutes are up) or just continue the session for more tips.  Only the first test counts towards placings.

    Fix a Round & How it Works

    A show jumping course will be constructed with the inclusion of individual fences, gymnastic line and designated flat work such as turn around the haunches and counter canter. The rider will school individual parts under some direction, and then perform a round. A qualitative score will be given and combined with the dressage test to determine score of the two phase. Help will then be given to shore up the difficulties and the rider will complete a second round.
