Ribbons for Rides!OnTRA and OEF are so very excited to offer this exciting new program called Ribbons for Rides. EVERYONE can participate in this program! Just ride one of the FEI dressage tests (independently or on lead), and you will receive an eighth place ribbon. Ride another test, or the same test again, and receive a seventh place ribbon. On and on until you reach Champion!! OEF is even offering to have the Champion ribbons signed by an elite equestrian athlete of the rider's choice and framed in a shadow box. If the rider lives in the vicinity of the elite equestrian, they will see if they can come and present the Champion ribbon to the rider. For further information, see the flyer.
