ICP Workshops in Columbia, MO: June 15-18
Final Plan Set

Due to limited candidate entries, the Level I/II workshops at New Spring Farm have been
shortened to two days each and will run consecutively, first Teaching of Dressage, then
Teaching of Jumping. Phyllis Dawson will teach both. Very intense and full days.

For Candidates: There do remain one or two slots open, but if you are interested, better act
immediately. Contact Tim Holekamp at Holekamp@aol.com.

For Auditors: Auditors are welcome at $25/day and may come for any or all of the four days.
Must be "scheduled" and submit application form. For more information contact
Holekamp@aol.com. This can be a very valuable experience.

For Demo Riders: Some positions as demo riders are still open. Those who have done this in
the past have found great benefit and had fun being here. No charge to riders/horses. Contact
Cheryl Holekamp at Newspringt@aol.com.

Heritage Park Offers June Schooling & July Recognized Horse Trials
MACTA LogoThe staff of Heritage Park Horse Trials would like to invite you to consider our event for your July competition. The Heritage Park Horse Trials are located in a county park located in Olathe, Kansas, a southern suburb of the Greater Kansas City area. 
 
We offer horse trial divisions from Starter Novice through I/P.  We will also be offering combined tests for Starter Novice through Intermediate. 

Not long ago all of our cross-country courses were rebuilt.  Each year new fences are added to all of our cross-country courses and new tracks are offered to riders at our recognized horse trial, so that every level is presented with different questions each year.

On June 19th the Mid-America Combined Training Association (MACTA) will offer one final schooling opportunity at Heritage Park before the courses will close and be changed.  On June 20th a schooling horse trial and combined test will be offered using last year's tracks.

For the horse trial in July, two starter novice divisions will be offered.  One division will have a walk/trot test and will not splash through the water on cross country, the other starter novice division will do Beginner Novice Test A and will splash through the water on cross-country.  The cross-country fences for this division are 2' or less, and are fun and inviting to both horse and rider.

For more information on any activities sponsored by MACTA and for the Heritage Park Horse Trials, please visit our website:  www.macta.info
