USDF Region 1 CBLM Championships

The Col Bengt Ljungquist Memorial Championships (CBLM) were founded in 1983 by Dr. Samuel Barish, a past president of USDF, for the purpose of stimulating dressage competition at the USEF Levels. Later the FEI and Musical Freestyle divisions were added to the competition. The CBLM Championships served as the basis for the USDF/USEF GAIG Regional Championship program. These Championships are open to both US citizens and foreign riders; the rider just has to be a member of a participating USDF GMO at the time of qualification.

• Horse/rider combinations qualify by receiving ONE qualifying score in a designated CBLM qualifying class at any participating USDF/USEF recognized show.
• The rider is responsible for submitting a Qualification Form as soon as possible after receiving the score. The Qualifying Form can be completed online. It can also be printed out, filled out by hand, and emailed to the CBLM President, Bettina Longaker (entries@scriptsrides.com). No rider may compete in the CBLM Championship show until their Qualifying Form has been received by Bettina.
• The show is open to all horse/rider combinations who are members of a participating GMO, such as but not limited to ESDCTA and LVDA (Lehigh Valley Dressage Association). You must be a member of a GMO at the time your qualifying score is earned.

A complete list of updated rules and qualifying scores for each level will be available as the show approaches.
