Congratulations to ODS’s Instructor of the Year 2024

Congratulations to long time ODS member, instructor, volunteer and competitor, Tedi Rae Paasch, for receiving Oregon Dressage Society’s  Mary Ann Judkins Instructor of the Year award for 2024. ODS is proud to recognize this exceptional horsewoman and friend to ODS!

ODS received a large number of glowing nomination letters from her students with heartfelt statements such as “…truly remarkable instructor and mentor in my 25 years of riding experience with her.”

…always emphasizing the horse’s well-being, management fundamentals, and the basic balanced position.”

I think this is the year Tedi Paasch should be recognized for her decades of commitment to ODS and Dressage.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Tedi Paasch!”

“Tedi pours her heart and soul into her students…I see many struggling riders coming to her and emerging much more confident and capable horse women and men over time. I so believe she deserves this award!!!”
