he Cayman Islands Equestrian Federation (CIEF) hosted its fourth National Dressage show of the 2023/2024 show season on Saturday 2th March at the Cayman Islands Equestrian Center on Linford Pierson Highway.  Jeanne McDonald, a United States Equestrian Federation “S” Judge with over 35 years of experience, attended the event to assess 17 junior and adult competitors who respectively took part in a total of 22 tests of varying difficulty.

There was a busy congregation of riders, parents and volunteers arriving at the Equestrian Center before the sun came up on Saturday morning preparing for the show ahead.  The eagerness of the riders turned out to be well worth the effort.  The quality of horsemanship throughout the show was outstanding and was reflected in the test scores, which were some the highest of the 2023/2024 season.
