 I am sharing the below post from the L Candidate face book page.


Hi L Program candidates. Are you located in the southeast and at a loss to find enough shows and judges to get your sitting hours in? If so, you're not alone. Let me know if any of you are interested in paying a judge to come in, so we can meet these requirements. If there are a lot of us who join in, the cost shouldn't be too bad.

If you are interested, please contact Chrisy Scotch  info@christyscotchdressage.com for more details 

Please note that Group sitting was approved at the 2014 Annual convention
 From the Participant Guide:

*New starting in 2015*
Group sitting with an L Faculty member can be used to meet up to half of the required
sitting hours. Candidates may choose to hire a faculty member to sit with them at a
competition. Up to 10 candidates may sit with the L faculty member at one time. Sitting forms
must be filled out by the faculty member and returned to the USDF office as with other E
Sessions. The below guidelines apply for Group Sitting as well. (The presiding judge does not
need to be contacted for permission).
