#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hello,#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Just got home from my 2nd ever national show (hence the odd hour of the post #ed_op#IMG src="/richedit/smileys/cheeky.gif"#ed_cl#) and I was wondering....#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#-What is the percentage needed to earn the bronze national medal @ 1st level???#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#-Where do you send your proof and registration money???#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Everywhere I look it says "3 scores of 65% or higher to obtain bronze medal" but I was informed today that as you move up the levels, the percentage requirements are less...which makes sense...anyone know for sure???#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks very much!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#-Caballo#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#WOOT WOOT!!!  Thanks so much!!!  Looks like I earned my bronze medal!!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[Caballo]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#does anyone know if you are allowed to use the "test of choice" classes to apply for the medals???#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#thanks!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[zooka]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I would believe so because they are judged the same way as any other test... but not 100% sure.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[Browndog]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but it says on the Dressage Canada website you must be registered and have paid your $50 PRIOR to earning any scores.  And it says 4 scores of 63% or more with 3 different judges.  So I read that to mean you have to register each year, pay your $50 each year and THEN get your scores.  And if you don't make it, you have to pay again the next year and try again but you can't carry your prior year scores over.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Does anybody else think it is strange after paying an OEF membership, an EC membership and a DC membership that you still have to then pay another $50 to even try for a medal?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[zooka]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I got the impression that you could apply anytime during that year and us those scores.  I know Caballo has the scores with at least 3 different judges so that should not be a problem.  You just can not use scores from another year.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

[Browndog]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Actually now I am reading that over and over again, it looks like you can carry your scores forward so if you get 2 scores this year and 2 scores next year, you still qualify?  You just can't use any scores prior to registering.  And you don't pay the $50 each year, just once?  Ok, if that's the case, that makes WAY more sense.  Has anybody actually got one of these medals and could clarify?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

As I read it, if she registers now, any scores over 63% she has
received this year will count, as well as any scores from next year or
the year after.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Aye Aye Aye.... shouldn't your guys motto be: why make it simple when it could be complicated?#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Ifit
is of interest to any of you, you even have two different type
ofDCawards, one for the horse, one for the rider. Scores for
thehorseawards for a same level can be collected over several
years,startingfrom subscribtion (100$) which is a once in a lifetime
andtransferableupon sale, and don't need to be with the same rider..
Rideraward (50$subscription for life) run over as long as needed, and
don'tneed to bewith the same horse...#ed_op#br#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#Did I manage to make it
all abit more complicated again?? But the goodthing is, you could get
twoawards per level (or more if you ride more then one horse), and
trustme, awards alwaysare fun to get.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Life Rocks#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
