The ODS 40th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Special Awards Banquet is being held in conjunction with the ODS Fall Festival

Join us November 5 & 6, 2011 in Portland, Oregon

The ODS Fall Festival, sponsored by The Red Mare, is a weekend filled with Dressage Education for Oregon Dressage Society members and the public. This year, we are proud to be hosting Steffen Peters for a lecture on Saturday evening and a symposium style clinic on Sunday. In addition to Steffen Peters, ODS is incredibly lucky to have scheduled OSU Veterinarian Dr. Erica McKenzie for a lecture on Saturday morning and a Saturday afternoon workshop. ODS's very own Mary Cornelius, a world-traveled professional equine photographer, will be presenting us an artistic display of photography, featuring her latest "Elder Horse Project" and possibly incorporating images from her recent shoots in Portugal.
Many thank yous to our generous sponsors:
