Compiled from Telegraph staff reports; COMING UP
    Dressage Clinic Starts Monday
    Windsong Dressage Center in Edgewood will host a dressage clinic by nationally known dressage judge Sonja Vracko on Monday and Tuesday.
    Vracko has been a competitor, trainer, judge and clinician in Canada, the U.S. and Germany since the early 1970s and has competed, trained and judged through the Grand Prix level. She was born in Germany and began teaching in the United States in 1969. She founded View Ridge Farm Equestrian Center in 1978, where she trains riders and horses through all levels.
    Windsong Dressage and Equestrian Center is a full-service horse facility opened in 1984. Windsong is nestled in the foothills of South Mountain and boasts many flat, open areas ideal for training horses.
    Ulla Hudson is the owner and full-time instructor. She is a German-born and -trained riding instructor with a lifetime of experience in dressage and classical methods of training.
    Developmental Screening Free
    Estancia Public Schools and the Central Region Educational Cooperative invite families with children from birth to 5 years old to participate in a free developmental screening on Monday.
    The screening will be from 9 a.m. to noon at the Estancia Upper Elementary library.
    Parents are encouraged to have all their children participate in a developmental screening once a year. Like a physical examination, a developmental screening lets parents know how their child is growing, developing and learning.
    The screening looks at how children are thinking, moving, solving problems, hearing, growing, talking, seeing and getting along with others. The results let parents know their child's strengths and also the areas they may need to work on.
    There is no cost for the screening, and no appointment is required. Bring the child's shot records to verify immunizations are up to date.
    For information, call Sue Wilson at 384-2005 or Nixie Clark at 384-2002.
