Mary Lu Norland Gets Show Ready with Online Driven Dressage
Mary Lu Norland shares here competition strategy.
”Covid pushed a lot of us to learn new things, two things come to mind--how to do Zoom meetings and Virtual Horse Shows. The ADS Triple Header Show was a bit of a stretch for us AARP members, but we figured it out. We chose our tests knowing full well which tests would be used later on in the year for a CDE live event.”
Mary Lu is pictured here with Connor McCloud, her Gypsy horse.
We used the ADS Triple Header Show as a “warm-up” to find what movements were “less than perfect.” We received comments from the three licensed judges in a timely manner so we could iron out our problem spots before our in-person competition. We had the comment sheets from the judges and took them to a clinic. The clinician knew where our tough spots were before we ever harnessed!" We were able to improve our scores at the CDE and definitely felt more ready.
