Snowbirds Flock to Florida forWinter Dressage Show SeasonBy Beth Collier
Although the winter dressage show season in Florida starts in early December, the early shows are a warm-up for the first big FEI rated CDI show: the Gold Coast Opener January 22– 24, 2010. The venue is the Palm Beach County Jim Brandon Equestrian Center, a fabulous county park less than ten miles from downtown West Palm Beach. From the Palm Beach County government website, “This 111-acre world class equestrian showplace has been built with the local horse enthusiast in mind. Equestrian groups are sure to enjoy this quality, competitive, and affordable venue.” The show is organized and managed by the Gold Coast Dressage Association, a group of only 200 members who are lucky enough to be at the center of the dressage universe during the winter season. For the rest of this article about the highlights of the Gold Coast Opener, see the March 2010 issue of The PVDA Newsletter.
