Every good journey needs a destination, a map, some snacks… and great friends!

Save the date and join your fellow CLD members for a potluck lunch and a fun, interactive session as we start planning our 2026 Dressage journeys together.

Come ready to dive into planning so you can stay on track and enjoy the journey wherever it takes you this year. We’ll chat about goal setting, mapping your route, checking in along the way, and overcoming obstacles.

The session will be facilitated by Barb Geissler and Susan Prorak—fellow dressage enthusiasts with decades of professional experience in leadership and training.
