Blind Faith Equine
Productions Objectives
BFEProductions
objective is to encourage riders and equine enthusiasts, with an
emphasis on young equestrians, developing a yearning to learn more
about the continuing development of Dressage as an Art form.
We produce events that encourage our youth to
participate in activities uniting equestrians with a love of horses in
all disciplines. Through
the continual development of riders and horses in clinic and show
environments, as
well as exhibition and
education,
Blind Faith Equine Productions strives to bring each rider to a
new place in their evolution and pursuit of a unique relationship with
their equine partners.
The production of Dressage shows in Southern
California is a sought after business. Ten years ago, the
beginnings of Dressage shows popping up along the coast, we've
seen an outgrowth of shows, practically every weekend within a 100
mile radius of Santa Barbara. USEF regulations
for licensing shows require a 100
mile radius between any two. This limits the possibilities
of bringing more rated Dressage shows to a surrounding area such
as Santa Barbara. There have been rumors about lessening the
scope of these regulations over the most recent years. It's easier for
riders to find rated shows within one or two hours drive every
weekend now. However, that growth also limits the ability
for our community to produce more shows.
Junior and young riders face the additional challenge of cost and
transportation. Show fees have escalated along with living
costs, which in the end have to be borne by the riders, since
horse shows in America have not yet risen into the ranks of
spectator sports. For young entry-level riders to be competitive
it requires a bank roll to qualify for the basics. Blind
Faith is constantly looking for ways to deflect some of these
costs to encourage young riders to join the ranks for the
future of Dressage.
We welcome Sponsors who empathize with our vision
enough to support more incoming young riders. We
continuously seek sponsorship support through scholarship awards,
class
sponsorships, products for awards and gift certificates, we
welcome all sponsorships where you'd like to help us support these
riders.. The same method can be used to make space for young
riders in our clinics and traveling programs.

Pony Clubs are a rich resource of young riders.
While they are mostly focused on Three Day Events, Dressage
Rally's and their testing, it is well to
keep in mind that their first day at the Three day is devoted to Dressage. While
their tests differ somewhat, they are of the same community and
can make enthusiastic Dressage competitors, to the benefit of
their Pony Clubs.
There will always be a notable difference in a
Blind Faith Equestrian Production show, clinic or exhibition
performance. Their style will be overtly adventurous,
enthusiastic, creative,
filled with special features, awards/prizes and initiatives to
attract new riders, we welcome all disciplines of equine enthusiasts.
Join the team by volunteering at one of their
events or being a sponsor. The fulfillment of helping others is always
returned ten fold from the heart. Contact us directly to
learn more about helping to enrich your life, and the lives of
others.
