The objective of Blind Faith

Equine Productions is to encourage riders and equine enthusiasts, with an emphasis on young equestrians, to develop 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 events 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 relationship with their equine partners.    

 The production of Dressage shows in Southern California has become challenging. With Dressage shows nearly every weekend somewhere in the southland, USEF/USDF regulations essentially control the licensing of any rated show within a 100 mile radius of any other rated show. 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, but so far they have just remained rumors. In the past 7 years we have experienced a surge of new Dressage Shows in Southern California that made it easier for riders to find rated shows within one or two hours drive every weekend.  But that growth will now be limited unless there is a change in regulations.

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 youthful riders to join the ranks for the future of Dressage. 

We welcome Sponsors who empathize with our vision enough to support more incoming riders.  We continuously seek sponsorship support through scholarship awards, classes‛ sponsorships and club discounts.  The same method can be used to make space for young riders in our clinics and educational opportunities.

Pony Clubs are a rich resource of young riders. While they are mostly focused on Three Day Events, it is well to keep in mind that their first 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, upbeat, filled with special features, awards/prizes and surprises to attract new riders, and 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. 

One is not born into the world to do everything but to do something.
