Fix-a-Test at Springfields, May 12  
If judge Jill Kuc was tired at the end of the day you'd never know it, despite having done the dressage clinic's answer to speed dating -- the Fix-A-Test. And she judged and coached sixteen riders! The weather was gorgeous, and the riders had a great day. Here are some pictures...
