SEDA is Jumping for Joy to Welcome Back the Junior Classic June 27–28 at Hunters Bluff
***
The SEDA Junior Classic is SEDA’s all-junior show. It’s grounded in fun and learning. The show has been on a hiatus, but due to high demand, SEDA is thrilled to welcome it back.
The Junior Classic will be scheduled annually in June and seeks to provide both dressage and combined test classes, as well as few other fun non-traditional classes. The show will include both ridden and non-ridden learning opportunities to include one-on-one time with the dressage judge to review their test.
The show will also offer fellowship with a Saturday night potluck and some evening games to cool down and enjoy time with friends.
SEDA is looking for non-junior members to volunteer as “Supporters” to our juniors at this show. As a “supporter” you will be assigned a junior at random to provide non-financial support and mentoring (think: helping them braid, answering pre-show questions, or just being there to cheer them on ringside). We hope this will bring our club even closer together and introduce members from across the area.
If you would like to volunteer for this Supporter opportunity, or have any questions or ideas to make the Junior Classic the best event possible, please contact SEDA Junior Chair, Danielle Aymond at mayerdl1@gmail.com or 337-515-4127.
