We were fortunate this year to have our web site chosen as the best of the CDS chapters. Bonnie Chavarria accepted the $500 prize at the CDS annual meeting. 

The Potluck Luau in June featured the documentary Holo Holo Paniolo on the Hawaiian Cowboy followed by Jeanne Basci showing her Video and photos taken at the Olympic Dressage Trials in San Juan Capistrano. 24 members participated in a veritable Hawaiian feast.

The Las Vegas party,  hilarious with riders in the competition judging their judges,  lacked  space to include all of Santa Barbara's  enthusiasts attending.

At 11 years of age, Madison Wagner, seen here on 'Elan, is the chapter's youngest competitor preparing to make her dressage show debut.
