The DallyPost Versatility program is much more than just another Versatility program. The program was developed by horsemen for all horsemen. "All horsemen" is the key to our uniqueness. We believe that everyone, regardless of skill or ability, should have an equal opportunity to be successful in the show pen. We further believe the opportunities must never be based on:

  1. A contestant's ability to afford the services of a world class professional trainer.
  2. A contestants ability to afford a world class finished horse.
  3. A contestant's ability to afford a world class training facility with world class training equipment.

We have found success in achieving our objectives by implementing the most fair division system on the planet. Keys elements of this system include:

  1. Every horse/rider combination will be automatically placed in a division that includes other horse/rider combinations that have traditionally marked similar scores.
  2. Past performance (scores marked in the immediately preceding twelve months) is the only yardstick we use to place a horse/rider combination in a division. This means that:
    1. The horse/rider's division eligibility will be immediately recalculated upon recording class scores in the stats database.
    2. As a horse/rider combination improves beyond the level of a given division, they will be automatically advanced to the next higher division. This allows those who remain in the division to continue to compete on a level playing field. It also insures that the advancing horse/rider combination will be in a place where competition will be challenging and victories rewarding
    3. That a single rider may show in multiple divisions. On an advanced horse, he will show in an upper division. On a green colt, he will show in a lower division. The important and constant factor is that regardless of the division a horse/rider may show in, their past scores have absolutely established that they are in the correct division.

Finally, ours is a training organization. Our clinics and our shows all share the common primary objective of helping each individual reach his full potential. In this I find my greatest satisfaction.
