"My horse and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the ODE. We arrived on Saturday and he was welcomed to a comfortable box stall at the impeccably maintained Eversfield facility. Competition day was superbly organized and ran smoothly, with all aspects coordinated so that the schedule was comfortably maintained, and communication throughout the event was effective so that riders could easily report on time for their starts. Dressage was held in the outdoor sand ring, and our horses enjoyed the level surface and secure footing. Glynis, our judge, provided accurate and useful feedback for each horse and rider team. Our youngest rider (10 years old) read and re-read her dressage score sheet with Glynis' suggestions. Both the novice and open cross country courses had excellent turf and tracks, and a variety of terrain and jump types that invited yet still challenged the horse and rider teams. The incorporation of "knock-down" XC fences added an additional element to the day. The brightly painted show jumping course was well designed on lovely grass footing, with a variety of jumps and lines to keep horses and riders thinking. The day concluded with good cheer at the presentation ceremonies, during which rosettes and prize money were awarded in each division. Thank you to Glynis and David for putting on the ODE! My horse and I had a great day! This is my second year attending, and I plan to ride in it again in 2013."
