 Metamora Pleasure Driving Show

This is the information I received from one of our community members about this new show.

 

"Hi Leia, I wonder if you could post information on this new show in Michigan on  your website. I am trying to help the people in the east and midwest get more shows going for us vse's. Thank you, Marlene Badura, Ohio"

 > I hope you had a nice holiday and Happy New Year. Any chance you heard from 
 > Dave Sadler? I was hoping he would give you the names and info of the VSE 
 > people from the Indiana show because I would like to let them know of a 
 > Pleasure Show we are having here in Michigan. That is why I am e-mailing 
 > you, I wanted to let you know as well. 
 > This is taken from the letter I just received: The Metamora Carriage and 
 > Driving Association in Metamora, Michigan will be the host of a Pleasure 
 > Carriage and Driving Show on July 20-22, 2007. Metamora is located in the 
 > rolling countryside approximately 50 miles north of Detroit. The show will 
 > take place on a beautifully manicure and maintained farm, called Squeaky 
 > Wind Mill owned by Irving and Audrey Rose. (the farm is gorgeous, I have 
 > been there before for a clinic) 
 > This will be an ADS sanctioned, full schedule show with classes for horses, 
 > ponies, VSE, pairs and hopefully four-in-hands. This will be a two and a 
 > half day show with dressage on Friday and ring classes on Saturday and 
 > Sunday. The showgrounds will be open two days prior to the event with all 
 > participants encouraged to drive the beautiful trails in and around the show 
 > site. 
 > The Committee has been hard at work in an effort to host a top-notch show. 
 > We anticipate a whole range of competitors from around the country, 
 > including our Canadian friends. Metamora is in the heartland of the 
 > mid-west and is within easy traveling distance for many competitors. 
 > Stabling will be available at the showgrounds with a number of hotels, 
 > motels and restaurants in the area. 
 > The Metamora Carriage and Driving Association has for many years, hosted a 
 > nationally recognized CDE, (they don't offer a VSE division yet, we are 
 > working on that) and now hopes our first Pleasure Driving Show will be 
 > equally successful. 
 > We are working hard to determine the interest from individual clubs and 
 > numbers of anticipated participants. We are not asking for a commitment, 
 > but rather trying to determine show needs. We ask you to present this 
 > information to your club membership and let us know how many of your members 
 > might attend. Many people have expressed a need for another mid-west 
 > pleasure show and we think our club will do an excellent job. Please watch 
 > for our ads.
