                              Unfortunatley a large storm swept through TBTRA on September 2nd and did a large amount of damage to their property and buildings. Thankfully all horses were safe and unharmed. Donations to assist them in rebuilding can be made at www.tbtra.com.

                              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.

                              Del Mar, CA - March 13, 2011 - Closing day of the 2011 Dressage Affaire (CDI3* W/Y/J & CPEDI3*) arrived at the beautiful Del Mar Horsepark on Sunday March 13, 2011. 
                              As "O Canada" played over the loudspeaker and the Canadian Flag was raised, the Canadian team relished in the moment because they had completed their first stop on the way to the 2012 Paralympics in London, England.

                              Prior to the championship announcement the crowd pleasing freestyle competition began at 8:00 a.m. in the main arena.  Para-Equestrians gave it their all resulting in the highest scores of the week. In Grade Ia Jody Schloss (CAN) and Inspector Rebus topped the division earning the blue sash for the duo. Schloss was also the overall winner for the Grade Ia division at the Dressage Affaire.
