The Amateur Dilemma

10 Dressage Training Symposium with Lilo Fore

Announcement: Renew Your Membership A new competition year began in November. You probably have already renewed your memberships to US Equestrian, USDF, and USEA. It’s also time to renew your ESDCTA membership. Please go to: www.ESDCTA.org. It’s easy and can be done online. If you are not a member at the time you show, those scores will not count towards year-end awards or for qualifying for Championships.

We are always looking for people to help with shows. Not only will you receive volunteer hours for year-end awards, but we feed you and provide gas money. It’s also great way to learn more about what you can do to help yourself when it’s your turn enter the ring. Plus, you’ll meet a whole new crew of horsey friends! We need volunteers for both dressage and eventing shows throughout the year.

Please contact dressage@esdcta.com (dressage) or janmpel@msn.com (eventing) for more information.

No experience necessary.

COLLECTIVE REMARKS

President’s Message So, our year is coming to a close. Our preliminary year end award winner list has been sent out via email, and our final organized “event,” the Turkey Trot at the Horse Park of New Jersey, has come and gone.

So now we begin the reflection part of the year. We sent a survey out in 2017 to everyone in our constant contact list. It was quite detailed and had room for fill in answers, so that we could hear what we could do better in our members’ own words.

Those answers helped guide the ESDCTA in 2018. In response to your requests, we offered more educational events, and improved our communication and our award system. I will give more detailed information next month.

But for now, I need to share with you something spectacular that happened to me last week. The day before the Turkey Trot, I received an email saying we needed two more volunteers at the starting point. I reluctantly answered yes …volunteering was going to make my day very long… I had horses to work and a few riders to teach. I was told to report at 10 am, but would be let go if someone else stepped up.

Despite my reservations, it turned out to be a wonderful day! I arrived on time, and met Carol Wingerter and Gretchen Creesy at the start point. First off, Carol’s and Gretchen’s company was fantastic, and I gained two new friends that I have a lot in common with. The weather was great, but greeting all of the people who came out to ride and seeing their excitement and joyfulness…that reminded me of why I ride. All types of riders and horses were there. We had people who just finished their competition year (dressage, jumping or combined training); people who came with their barn (and didn’t care about the official time…just wanted to ride out together); people riding out together on a few generations of homebreds; people riding out with family; and people riding out with friends just enjoying the day.

At around 11:30, we had a father of one of the riders volunteer to help out, Mic Moore. I could have left then, but I chose to stay and enjoy the good company and watch all the different types of horses and riders heading out on the course. I got home by 2:30, and although my day was made longer by volunteering, my day was made exponentially more joyful, as well.

I am so lucky to be a member of an organization that provides so many opportunities for our community to come together and meet and work with each other. I hope you feel that way too, and if you don’t, please let me know how we can change that because we really do have an outstanding equestrian neighborhood here.

Wishing you all a joyful holiday season!

If you’re reading this, you are probably a member of ESDCTA, but I’m sure you know of someone who rides dressage or events who is not a member. You know all about the wonderful things offered like educational programs, clinics with big name trainers, horse shows, year-end awards, and not least, that sense of being part of a community of likeminded people. The more members ESDCTA has, the better the programs we can offer. Our membership numbers are also important considerations when state and local governments decide on legislature that affects us (like open space), and we advocate for our sports (we’re working on better footing at the HPNJ). Please reach out to your equestrian buddies and tell them about all of the benefits of membership and have them sign up. The more the merrier!

Horse Treats By, Meredith Rogers

I don’t know about you, but I celebrate my horse every day. It seems I am not alone.

There are festivals dedicated to the horse all over the world. Below is only a handful.

In the village of Litang in the Sichuan province of China is the Litang Horse Festival festival, generally held during the first week of August. During the festival, Tibetan horses are raced and other skills of horsemanship are tested.

The Jerez Horse Fair in Spain takes place in the beginning of May and dates back more than 500 years when it was a livestock show. There are a variety of events, including fancy dress, polo, high school dressage, carriage competitions, international show jumping, vaulting, flamenco shows, and workshops, as well as bullfights and sherry tastings.

In March is the Dubai International Horse Fair, which is the region’s biggest trade fair and exhibition for leisure and professional riders, owners, stables, and clubs.

County Galway in Ireland has been home to the Ballinasloe International October Fair and Festival that celebrates all things equestrian since 1722. The festival highlights every breed of horse and pony native to Ireland, plus there are dog shows, street stalls, fireworks, tug-o-war, parades, arts & crafts, and other events. It attracts 65,000 visitors each year.

The Verona Horse Fair takes place in November in Verona, Italy. This festival began in 1898 as a simple horse market but now hosts FEI World Cup Showjumping, plus championship Western events, such as cutting and team penning, gymkhana competitions, and other equine spectacles.

A Weekend With A Legend: the Christine Stuckelberger Clinic

By Heidi Lemack

On October 26, 27 and 28, ESDCTA hosted a clinic with Christine Stuckelberger, a 6-time Swiss Olympic competitor and Individual gold medalist, at Rhythm and Blues Stables in Allentown, NJ. The clinic was organized by Margaret K. Boyce, MKB Dressage, and by Victoria Shilton, the ESDCTA Education Chair. ESDCTA was able to subsidize the cost of the clinic thanks to being awarded The Dressage Foundation’s Violet Hopkins Grant.

Christine is an amazing coach, trainer, and an ambassador for the horse. She is also a very wonderful human: kind, thankful, polite, soft spoken, yet with Margaret Boyce on Bigello with Christine a well-defined sense of strength in her beliefs of correct and classical training. She may be just over 70-years-old, but she still rides and trains horses, and she still receives lunge lessons. Yes, really…she still has someone lunge her to maintain/develop the correctness of her seat!

Beth Sproule-Hansen on Liberty getting help from Christine

To begin each ride, she watched the horse and rider, and then she made subtle corrections to the rider’s seat, legs, and balance. There was a marked improvement in the horse’s way of going and in their gaits when these corrections were made by the rider. It was wonderful to see her methods and training exercises work with all the horse and rider combinations, from a talented four-year-old Dutch Harness Horse through a proven Grand Prix gelding.

Each day we had lunch in the house and a lecture was presented, which Christine attended, as well. On Friday and Sunday, Madalaine Baer of Connected Body Work (http://www.connectedbodywork.com/) spoke on the interconnection of a rider’s body, their use of the aids, and the horse’s body and its reaction. She had handouts

that included the horse’s anatomy and also used exercises to help explain the concepts she was presenting. It very much complemented Christine’s teachings.

On Saturday, Dr. Sarah Bye of Foundation Equine Wellness and Performance (https://foundationequinenj.com/) presented a fascinating in-depth lecture on the suspensory, how it works, how it heals, and how to keep it healthy.

On Saturday evening, we had a wonderful dinner at the house, along with a surprise birthday cake for our wonderful treasurer, Betty Aducci. Christine gave a lecture and answered questions on how classical dressage makes for competitive and happy dressage horses. It was a rare opportunity to speak with and ask questions of such a successful horse woman.

Thank you to the horses and their riders and owners for taking advantage of this opportunity. It was inspiring to watch you all.

We are very grateful for all of our volunteers who made this weekend happen: Erin Gale, Tammy Purdy, Hillary Horton, Carol Rigel, Lori Maas, Lisa Toaldo, Carol Horvath, and Wilma Pfeffer. Special thanks to Bernice Lemack, Edward Lemack, Bonnie Austin, and Jason Dr. Byes' presentation Beck for allowing us to use the house and facility, and for all the clean-up, set-up and “making it all work” that you did.

Also, thank you Schleese Saddlery, which donated saddle pads and books, Madalaine Baer of Connected Body Work, the Foundation Equine Wellness and Performance Veterinarians and Dr. Bye, and The Dressage Foundation for helping ESDCTA bring such an outstanding educational opportunity to our members and the local dressage community.

The Amateur Dilemma By, Meredith Rogers

The question of what defines an amateur came up recently in response to the latest Dressage Today article entitled, “Adult Amateurs Who Excel,” which can be found here: https://www.pressreader.com/ usa/dressage-today/20180925/281509342050008.

The article showcases Alice Tarjan and Charlotte Jorst (who has since gone pro). Many people on a well-known bulletin board asked if these two people were “real” amateurs. I believe the answer to that question is an uncategorical yes. They do (did) not get paid to ride or train horses, so they are real amateurs, they are just not necessarily representative of the typical amateur. Let’s face it, when you hear the word “amateur” you probably picture someone much like yourself: most-likely female, roughly what ever age you’re at, working with kids, not working with kids, working without kids, struggling to fit it all in, worried about finances, etc. It is so easy to look at someone who does not fit our mold and try to justify ourselves in relation, which unfortunately, often means tearing them down versus building ourselves up.

The new competition year is upon us (Dec 1), and the real New Year celebration (Jan 1) is just around the corner. Thus, it’s a good time to think about resolutions.

Maybe this year, we should all try to be a little more accepting of each other. We know we shouldn’t look down on the person with the short, quick-moving QH for not being dedicated enough to buy a WB, but we should also not be critical of those who can afford the fancy WBs for having an unfair advantage over us. Let’s not turn our noses at the person who doesn’t get out to the barn as often as us – maybe they can’t due to other commitments. The person wearing old brown boots may have sacrificed new dress boots in order to buy their horse that expensive bit that seemed to be the only one that worked. And just maybe the person who has all of the latest fashion secretly feels so insecure in their skills that they compensate with an expensive blingy helmet.

I won’t bore you with more examples, but you get what I mean.

During this holiday season, be thankful for what you have even though others may have more because many have less. Spend time with family and friends (and your horses) because there are others who cannot. Relish your year of successes and learn from your struggles because we’re all in this together.

Happy New (Competition) Year!

Go TEAM! My Experience at the Dessage4Kids Clinic

By Paige Zimmerman

On November 3 and 4, I had the opportunity to participate in a Dressage4Kids TEAM (Training, Education, and Mentoring) clinic with Lendon Gray at Northridge Equestrian Center in Gilbert, PA. The TEAM program consists of a series of weekend clinics that take place all over North America, and even Bermuda. Lendon Gray travels to each location to teach youth riders 25 years old and younger, educating them about horsemanship and dressage.

Once accepted into the program, TEAM riders can ride in as many clinics as they wish. Riders are required to ride both days with Lendon and also to meticulously turn out, braid and wrap their horse, to provide all of the care for their horse all weekend, including feeding and stall cleaning, to attend all of the other participants’ rides (as each rider’s horse care obligations allow), take notes, and ask and answer questions, etc. Everyone is supposed to actively participate, and most importantly, take turns picking up manure for each other in the arena!

For this clinic, my coach and mentor Olivia Steidle allowed me to take her OTTB schoolmaster, Buddy. On Friday the day before the clinic, we were one of the first to arrive at Northridge. Everything was immaculate and everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The program riders were given an entire small barn to ourselves. The Eick family, who owns and runs the facility, was very generous and supportive in helping us to settle in. The facility was cozy and clean, and I felt right at home; I think Buddy did too. Throughout both of the clinic days, everything progressed super smoothly thanks to all of the amazing, hard-working people who donated their time and talents. The food was perfect, the lectures and activities were very informative and interesting, and the facility was kept very neat by everyone.

Day 1 began bright and early after we cared for our horses with Lendon’s opening remarks. She introduced herself and spoke about the program she created, and she

briefed us on her teaching techniques and the format of the clinic. Lendon also spoke about other programs for youth dressage riders and the many opportunities Dressage4Kids offers, including education scholarships, shows (this year was the 20th anniversary of Lendon’s Youth Dressage Festival, which is the flagship show), various types of clinics other than TEAM, intensive training opportunities, and even travel!

After the morning rides, we had lunch and a lecture about helmet safety and other safety equipment, which I found very useful. I learned about how you don’t even have to fall off, hit your head directly or lose consciousness to have a concussion. It became very clear to me how important helmets are in protecting us and how much helmet technology has improved over the years. We also learned about different types of vests that can protect our ribs, necks, and backs in a fall.

After the afternoon rides, there was a pizza party sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Dressage Association youth program and two additional lectures. The first lecture was given by a world-class endurance rider. I didn’t know that much about endurance, and some of us did not even know it existed, so it was very interesting to hear about how the sport works. She spoke a lot about the incredibly high fitness level required of her horses and how much dedication and determination is required of the riders. She has to be one of the strongest people I have ever met. She was incredibly generous and patient in answering all of our questions. The second lecture was given by D4K young rider veteran Alexa Derr who spoke to us about the D4K Winter Intensive Program (WIT). WIT is a 3-month long immersive training program that takes place in Florida each year. It was fascinating to learn about how this program is run and what an average day is like for a “WIT-ee”. This program is for youth who are incredibly serious about our sport. First, you must have a horse that can handle intense training and scrutiny at least 5 days a week.

Also, you are required to arrange transportation for yourself and your horse and to find housing for yourself (and a chaperone if you need one), and you have to make your own arrangements to continue your schooling while you’re away. It is an expensive endeavor, so financing is also an issue. There is an application process and Lendon selects each horse and rider combination personally. It sounds like an amazing program!

On Day 2, our morning began with Pilates. We used hay bales to practice using our cores and backs, and we all warmed up very quickly.

Our instructor walked around and helped all of us achieve the position that she wanted, and I really could feel how what she was asking us to do related to maintaining a good position on the horse. It was difficult, but afterwards I felt nice and stretched out, strong, and stable. Our lunch lecture that day was on natural ways for horse and rider athletes to maintain healthy minds and bodies. The lecturer spoke about essential oils and herbs that help prevent illness and may help our horses to function better as athletes, and she discussed what we can do ourselves to stay healthy and capable. She taught us a breathing exercise that we can use to help calm down or to go to sleep, and I have been using it when I feel nervous.

In fact, I used it later that same day when I had some nerves before going into my lesson with Lendon!

Throughout both days of the clinic, I learned from my own lessons but also from auditing all of the other riders. A common theme throughout the clinic was using no-stirrup work to our advantage. By watching everyone else’s lessons and feeling it for myself, it became very clear that taking away the stirrups definitely improves the seat and leg of all riders at every level. In fact, the only riders who Lendon did not use no-stirrup work with were the ones who had very young horses. I saw that we tend to use our stirrups as a crutch so that we don’t need to use our seat and core as much. After working without stirrups, I felt like I had much closer contact and was more in tune with Buddy and I did not have to work as hard to sit the trot or stay in the saddle in the canter.

Throughout both days, we learned horsemanship in our lessons, as well. For example, Lendon spoke to us about how to properly lunge and what size circle to use (a big one, because lunging can be hard on a horse’s joints). She also spoke about detecting lameness. Lameness in the front is simply detected by feeling a bobble, an up-down, or an uneven step, and lameness in the hind can be detected by

changing your posting diagonal and feeling the difference in the horse. She also stressed to us how important basic obedience is because it comes before everything else on the training scale.

Lendon introduced a lot of interesting exercises in all of the lessons. One of them that I found very useful was the stair-step leg yield, which is when the rider does a leg yield for a few strides, then goes straight, then does another few steps of leg yield, then goes straight again. It improves the straightness of the horse and the responsiveness to the rider’s leg aids. Another exercise that I found interesting to watch involved collected canter. Lendon had the riders do a half-halt in the canter with the intention of making the canter look as if a pirouette could be done out of it. Of course, at first, most of us were not as clear with our half-halts as Lendon would have liked. “I want to see a difference!�, she told me. That really stuck with me, and I have been working since the clinic on the medium to collected to more collected canter transitions with Buddy.

Overall, there were several points that Lendon made repeatedly to all of the riders in the clinic. One of them was to keep the forward energy, meaning make sure that the horse is pushing from behind into the bridle rather than being pulled from a downward and backward hand. Another point was to think of the horse as having a forward-stretching neck instead of a short and tight one. She told many of the riders, including me, to relax our arms and not pull, and to stretch our torsos up and tall. She also focused a lot on having the horse respond immediately to all of our aids, which is something that Buddy and I continuously have to work on.

I had a really great time at this clinic, and I learned a lot by watching the other riders and by working with Lendon myself. I hope to be attending more of them in the future and participating in other Dressage4Kids activities. Thank you to Lendon Gray for being so dedicated to educating youth riders like me! Lendon is very generous with her time and she always knows how to foster improvement in each horse and rider combination. Thank you to the Eick family for their hospitality, to all of the volunteers and sponsors who make these clinics possible, to the Lehigh Valley Dressage Association for the wonderful pizza party. And, as always, thank you to my coach, Olivia Steidle who let me monopolize Buddy for the entire weekend. It makes me feel very proud that she trusts me so much. And thank you to Buddy, who was his absolute perfect self!

COLLECTIVE REMARKS

News from Outside the Ring The End of WEG As We Know It? The Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) Bureau met November 17 and admitted that no one has agreed to host the 2022 competition. Past FEI World Equestrian Games have been the World Championships for all of the FEI disciplines: Jumping, Dressage & Para-Dressage, Eventing, Driving & Para-Driving, Endurance, Reining and Vaulting. At this meeting, the FEI opened the bidding process for individual world championships, versus a multidisciplinary competition, although they would prefer a multidisciplinary bid. It was obvious from this year’s WEG that Tryon, NC, USA, was NOT the place to hold this prestigious event. Unfortunately, no one use has stepped up to the plate, yet. On a positive note, the FEI is moving away from a mandatory age cut-off for FEI officials to a competency-based system. This is in response to the decline in the number of FEI officials (go figure – we are an aging population), with the end result that they are finally catching up with the times.

Helping Horses in California While we may bemoan the upcoming (current) winter weather, at least we don’t have the massive wildfires they have out in California. It seems like the whole state is burning, with nearly 210,000 acres scorched, to date. Having to flee homes, farms, and ranches without any warning, many people were forced to turn their horses and livestock loose and hope for the best. But people are fundamentally good, and strangers opened their homes and barns, providing general care and veterinary interventions to numerous equines and other animals. But, it is not enough - when is it ever? California’s horses and their owners are in need of feed and supplies. If you are able this holiday season, please think of giving a little to one of the many groups helping our equestrian colleagues across the country. Here are three organization accepting monetary donations, but they are not the only ones.
