Dear Competitors,

Welcome to the all new Dressage Derby Series. Unmatched by any other Dressage Show on the West Coast we are giving out almost $6,000 in cash and about $7,500 in prizes to the top placing pairs of selected classes throughout the April, May and June Derby weekends. We are thrilled to announce that the decade long partnership between CNDC and Schleese Saddlery of Canada will continue. Schleese Saddlery is donating tack items including double bridles, bridles, girths and stirrup leathers to the winners of selected classes. These and more prizes will be given out to the first three placing rides. Each Derby Show is a 3*** Show and Derby III and V are Y/J/U-25/YH, High Performance Qualifier/ Young Rider Qualifier, Markel Young Horse Qualifier/ Developing Horse Qualifier.   

Refer to the prize list when preparing your entry for money and prize classes. Each Derby weekend has specially marked money and prize classes for each level clearly identified in the prize list.
