Spring Frolic Cross Country Clinician will be Rebecca Barber.
Rebecca is a USDF Bronze Medalist and an active event rider currently based in Charlottesville, Virginia. Following graduation from the College of William and Mary, Rebecca delayed her entrance to the corporate world, instead deciding to move to Pennsylvania to train with and work for US Team Rider, Buck Davidson. At Team BDJ, Rebecca developed as a rider, successfully moving her young OTTB up to preliminary and competing through the CCI* level of eventing. Last year, Rebecca moved back to Virginia where she is currently the Assistant Trainer for Kiki Osbourne’s, Dappir Ridge Eventing. In addition to training and competing many of the horses at Dappir Ridge, Rebecca also has her own sales business, taking in horses for both training and consignment. In addition to the individuals listed above, Rebecca has trained with riders such as Debbie Rodriguez, Holly & Marilyn Payne, and Kim Severson. While she still has upper level aspirations, Rebecca finds her niche in working with both young horses and developing riders; enjoying the process of producing future talent. With her strong dressage background, Rebecca strives to develop strong basics in her riders. Rebecca works to instill confidence in all her students, holding them to high standards in regard to teamwork, horsemanship, and sportsmanship.
In response to survey suggestions, we will have some new options this year, including...
More jumper options - jumper division consisting of 2 courses and jump-off,
and schooling over either or both courses;
Tadpoles division - jumps are poles on the ground,
coach may enter ring with rider and provide any assistance needed.
And, as a reminder, we have always offered and will continue to offer
WDAA Western Dressage Tests at all of our Frolic Shows!
Cumulative awards in each division will awarded at the Fall Frolic.
All shows will be held at Green Hill Park Equestrian Center in Salem, Va.

RVPC's Fun Frolic Series is a series of Combined Test, Dressage, and Jumper Shows. The Spring and Fall Frolics will also include a Cross Country Clinic. It is a great way to start the Eventing season, move up a level, or just enjoy showing, with a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and inexpensive entry fees. We welcome riders of all levels, from Intro-level to 2nd-level Dressage, Western Dressage, and Combined Tests from Tadpoles up through Prelim.
Proceeds from these events are our primary funds for providing mounted instruction to our members, as well as helping fund them to compete at regional and national Pony Club competitions, and prepare and test for national certifications. Thank you for supporting RVPC! Click here to download the Prize List and Entry Form, or use the form below to request one via email and be added to our list to receive updates. Fun Frolic Series Champion and Reserve Champion will be awarded at the Fall Frolic for each CT, Dressage, and Jumper division. In order to qualify for an award, you must compete in at least 2 of the Frolics. Click here to see Frolic Series Awards rules. We will have Leadline classes again this year! For just $5, let your littlest riders join the fun and have a turn in the ring. (This will be a rail class, walk only. Ribbons for all!) |
