We will be publishing our tentative schedule for 2022. We have some
great events lined up for our members and a busy 2022!!

Thank-you to our host farms for helping to make these events happen!

January and February ; we are looking for lectures with meetings to be
held at the CAA office

March – The board would like to see an event providing an educational
program to expand the interest of driving to riders; Date & location
TBD

April – TBD – currently I am working on a possible tour at a nearby farm

May, June & July – I am very excited about the “Mini-Series” proposed
by Carrie Ostrowski. We are ironing out details but we are looking at
three events that will be tied together for a progressive “score”.
This will provide an excellent opportunity to learn about CT, HDTs and
CDEs while at the same time providing a fantastic opportunity to
school horses/ponies for competitive events. The Emphasis is for
learning for ALL levels of drivers.

        May – the 1st event will be a CT – Dressage and Cones casual
turn-out; critique of dressage and cones; also allow a “reader” for
the dressage test
        June – 2nd. event will be an HDT – Horse Driving Trial – Dressage,
Cones and Obstacles – we would like to look to a more “proper” turnout
with apron, etc.
        July – 3rd event will also be an HDT – a different dressage test
