Show and Clinic Volunteer Job Descriptions

  • Arena Setup – Friday around noon
  • Hospitality – Greet participants and volunteers, ensure judges have water and lunch, sell merchandise.
  • Gatekeepers – Ensure the correct rider enters the competition arena at the correct time. One gatekeeper will be at the warm-up arena and one at the show arena.
  • Equipment Checker – Examine rider’s equipment (bit, spurs, saddle, etc.) to ensure legality. See WDAA Guidelines.
  • Scribe – Records judges’ scores and comments on each rider’s test. If software is used instead of paper tests, the scribe must have keyboard/typing skills.
  • Test Runners – If paper tests are used, collect tests from the scribe and carry them to the scorer in the Show Office. Do not look at the tests.
  • Scorers: Add points on each test and record riders’ total scores.
  • Arena Teardown – After a show or clinic, 5 people needed to assist with taking down the dressage arena and loading it onto the trailer.
  • Stall Checkers and End of Show Details – Ensure each stall has been completely stripped before the rider leaves, and assist with end-of -event details.

We especially need Scribes on both days and Equipment Checker on Sunday of the Summer Sizzler shows.
