CALLERS
The rider is encouraged to memorize their tests. The use of a caller is NOT MANDAORY. Cowboy Dressage
World allows the rider to use a caller of their choice, however, the ultimate responsibility for accurate and
correct riding to the test falls upon the rider. If the rider chooses to use a caller, it is the rider's responsibility
to arrange for one, and for their caller to be prompt. Saskatchewan Cowboy Dressage will not be providing
callers for riders.
REMEMBER
Cowboy Dressage World Partners want its Handshake members to consider the age and performance level
when choosing test levels
