USDF OFFICERS & EXECUTIVE BOARD PRESIDENT

We “met at the Arch” in St. Louis. Among the topics: new budget, new initiatives, USEF/USDF changes on the horizon, and a revamped strategic plan. By George Williams, USDF President

lot of important business gets done at the Adequan®®/USDF Annual Convention, with the 2016 edition held in December in St. Louis, MO. USDF’s participating members and group-member organizations (GMOs) send delegates to the annual governance meeting, the USDF Board of Governors (BOG) assembly. Because of USDF’s democratic structure, many important decisions must be approved by the BOG. The key issue at the St. Louis convention was the USDF Executive Board’s recommendation of a dues increase for participating and business members (but not for group members, who are USDF members through their GMOs). The proposal engendered quite an animated discussion on the first of two days of BOG assembly. On the second day, during the budget-approval vote, the proposal passed unanimously with no discussion. I believe there is a logical reason for that. The pre-vote discussion, which included some legitimate criticism, proved that our delegates believe there is value in what USDF and our counterparts do. Changing the face of the sport. One of the most enjoyable aspects of my job as USDF president is doing the research for the speeches I give at the Salute Gala and Annual Awards Banquet recognizing the special honorees, including the inductees into the Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame. Among those recognized at the 2016 convention was Lilian Wittmack Roye, who was inducted posthumously into the Hall of Fame. Lilian, a native of Denmark, was honored for her role in the establishment of recognized dressage competitions in the US. In 1955, she organized the first-ever recognized dressage competition in the country. At the time there were no rules, no tests,

no licensed judges, and, of course, no rules regarding drugs and medications. There are some who might say that sounds like a perfect world, but it wasn’t necessarily a level playing field. Today the sport of dressage has a plethora of rules, a wealth of licensed officials, and numerous instructors and trainers. Perhaps most important for those who compete, there is now a fairly level playing field, thanks primarily to the dressage judges, the technical delegates, and the drugs-and-meds rules that are supported by drug testing. However, all of this comes at a cost. During the discussions on proposed participating and business memberships dues increases at the BOG, someone asked a very good question: What’s in it for the average dressage enthusiast who isn’t interested in competing in the big leagues, and why should that person spend the money to join a GMO, the USDF, or our national federation, the US Equestrian Federation (USEF)? We’re in this together. That member’s question got me thinking, principally about the dressage world back when Lilian Roye was arguing with USEF’s predecessor about the need for licensed dressage competitions. We have come a long way since those days, but as I’ve mentioned, the opportunities of today—from the CDIs around the country, to the Great American/ USDF Regional Championships, and even to the upcoming FEI World Cup

The Secretariat Effect It’s Valegro first, the rest…well, we’ll see

f “moves the audience to tears” were the main criterion in judging dressage, then I’d be well qualified to step into Gary Rockwell’s or Stephen Clarke’s shoes. Of today’s international stars, Valegro—who of course has won everything there is to win—is the one who reliably cues my waterworks. I thought about this, lump in throat, as I live-streamed the British phenomenon’s retirement ceremony at London’s Olympia in December (see p. 12). What is it about Valegro that makes me, and dressage fans everywhere, choke up? It’s not Charlotte Dujardin’s riding (although she’s fabulous). It’s not their freestyle music (I actually thought their 2016 Rio Olympics Brazilian score was a bit of a snooze). It’s not even the fact that “Blueberry” is so adorable that I want to kiss him on his perfect pony face. No, it’s that whenever I see Valegro, I am reminded of the legendary racehorse Secretariat’s 31-length Belmont Stakes win to capture the 1973 Triple Crown. In trying to put the chestnut’s feat into words, sportswriters everywhere recalled the quote said of another racing great: “Eclipse first, the rest nowhere.” For people knew, watching Secretariat pull away from the field, that they were witnessing one of the greatest athletic achievements of all time. Valegro had essentially the same effect on his competition. His correctness, scope, energy, relaxation, and obvious enjoyment of his work were so extraordinary that most other horses paled in comparison. He and Dujardin embodied the harmony and grace to which all dressage riders aspire. Valegro’s dressage was a dance, even when there was no music at all. Like all great art, his performances stirred the emotions. Behind the uplifting effect of Valegro’s art, however, there always lurked an element of sadness—for me,

anyway—because we knew the dance couldn’t go on forever. Now dressage audiences know how racing fans felt postSecretariat, wondering whether there will ever be another like Big Red. In racing, of course, it’s been 43 years and counting and the answer is still no. We hope that dressage finds a new star to fall in love with soon, but in the meantime we realize that the world order will surely change now that Valegro won’t be loading the dice for British team medals. It seems fitting that we tip our hats to Valegro in the yearbook issue of USDF Connection, in which we celebrate those who achieved dressage excellence in 2016. On a few treasured occasions in life, a goal realized fills us with such joy we feel we could burst. That feeling came to mind when I saw the cover photo of Ashlee Watts executing an exuberant final salute aboard her horse, Hampton, to clinch the 2016 US Dressage Finals First Level Adult Amateur championship. Watts is an equine orthopedic surgeon at Texas A&M University in College Station, and like many adult amateurs she juggles career demands in order to find the time to train and compete. So her victory, when it came, was that much sweeter. Read about the 2016 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® on page 32, and congratulations to all who saw a dream come true last year!

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 Finals in Omaha—indeed come at a cost. The two US national dressage organizations, the USEF and the USDF, have borne the brunt of that expense. The USEF is responsible for the obvious expenses, including drug testing, rule enforcement, and licensing of officials. The USDF’s role is perhaps less evident but equally as important: primarily education and offering incentives to compete through awards and recognition. If a rider takes lessons

from a USDF-certified instructor and competes in a schooling show that’s judged by a USDF L graduate, he or she is enjoying the benefits of the work USDF does. Even if a rider has no interest in competing but studies with an instructor who came up through the Young Rider ranks or attends the Adequan®/USDF FEI-Level Trainers Conference or other USDF programs, then that rider is benefiting from the USDF. In other words, dressage is a small and interconnected world; and

the work the USDF, the USEF, or any GMO does can have a tremendous impact in many ways. I believe Lilian Roye understood that, and it was part of her motivation in helping to found USDF’s oldest GMO, the Pennsylvania-based International Equestrian Organization, in 1958. New education initiatives. To that end, included in the approved budget for USDF’s fiscal year April 1, 2017-March 31, 2018 budget are funds for the new USDF National Education Initiative, as put forward by the Adult Clinics Task Force. The task force’s goal is to “support riding and educational opportunities for USDF adult members nationwide.” These opportunities can now take many forms and should allow for more educational activities within a region each year. The USDF Executive Board also approved a proposal from the L Committee for a continuing-education program for L graduates. The goal is to help our L graduates stay tuned in to any changes in rules, judging methodology, or current judging criteria in order to give proper comments to riders competing at the grass-roots level. Funds were also set aside in the new budget in anticipation of changes that may occur as a result of the USEF’s examination of its dressage governance structure. During the USDF convention in St. Louis, the USDF Executive Board met with the chairs of the USEF Dressage High Performance and Technical Committees along with USEF’s dressage staffers. The USEF’s restructuring plans call for the transferring of certain responsibilities—primarily for the USDF to take on a more active role in the education of dressage licensed officials. Some of the other recommendations being put forth are designed to eliminate the duplication of efforts and to create greater efficiencies. In my mind, all of these changes will better position USDF as the education leader for dressage in the US. NAJYRC changes. At the USDF FEI Junior/Young Rider Committee meeting at convention, USEF CEO Bill Moroney spoke about the future of the

FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships, including gathering the dressage community’s opinions. This year, for the first time in decades, the three Olympic equestrian disciplines (dressage, jumping, and eventing) will not be part of the same FEI youth continental championships. Dressage, para-equestrian dressage, and jumping will be held at HITS Saugerties (NY), July 18-23. That same weekend, Rebecca Farm in Montana will host the NAJYRC eventing competition. This location split is a result of the disciplines’ struggling to find common ground on what the competition means to each of them, what roles they play in the development of their athletes, and how they generate interest by youth in their sports. News, notes, and plans. As always, USDF’s committees met throughout the week of convention, and there were several excellent educational presentations, all of which made for a very full schedule. The judges’ roundtable, the USEF rule-change forum, the competition open forum, the GMO Committee’s roundtable discussions, and the special “Reflecting on Rio” session with members of 2016 US Olympic and Paralympic teams all proved informative and popular. Overall, as I reported to the BOG, we are beginning to see some positive trends in our numbers. In 2016, the USDF recognized 881 competitions, the highest number in the organization’s history. More competitors than ever before are participating in the USDF/Dover Saddlery Adult Amateur Medal Program. Year-end awards are up by roughly 10 percent. We are also doing well in other areas. The participating-membership category appears stable, with a slight increase in the last couple of years. The number of FEI-level rides continues to reach new highs with each year. These are all good signs. Nevertheless, some challenges remain. The economic downturn of the late 2000s took its toll on the number of rides per year at Training Level. This number is still well below the peak

year of 2007. And although a couple of GMOs have been able to increase their membership numbers, many are still struggling. To tackle these and other fundamental issues, the USDF is undertaking the strategic-planning process for the first time in 11 years, with the Strategic Planning Working Group holding its initial session during the 2016 convention. Since we completed our previous strategic plan, the world has changed and the environment in which USDF

operates is quite different. It is time for us to reexamine what we do, how we do it, and how we can better address the needs of our members and of all of our customers in the horse world. The work on a strategic plan will continue for the next few months and at the earliest will be presented to the Executive Board for approval at its spring 2017 meeting. It is our hope that a new strategic plan will give us direction in the reevaluation process and result in proposals for new initiatives. s

A Sweet Note of Thanks We were absoluteUSDF CONNECTION ly thrilled with the The USA ENDS OLYMPIC article about Dark TEAM MEDAL DROUGHT Horse Chocolates and my background (“Sweet on Dressage,” November). The article was so well written and comprehensive, and the photos were wonderful. It was so special that you covered not just our Dark Horse Chocolates, but a full profile of Harbor Sweets and my work with the New England Dressage Association (of which I recently became president, gulp!). The writer, Katherine Walcott, was an absolute delight to work with on the interview. The photographer, Bryce Vickmark, was equally friendly and easy to work with on the shoot.

Clearing the Record

ur December 2016/ January 2017 story “The Hottest Bloodlines in Rio” contained incorrect information about the para-dressage mount Regaliz. Regaliz is a Hanoverian gelding (Rubinero x Davignon). In addition, a member of the 2016 British Paralympic dressage team, LJT Lucas Normark, is listed in some databases, including that of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), as a Danish Warmblood, as we reported. However, breeders and the American Knabstrupper Association assure us that the horse is in fact a registered Knabstrupper, which is a rare warmblood breed noted for its leopard-pattern coat coloring.

Tryon to Host 2018 WEG

inch-hitting after Bromont, Canada, withdrew its bid to host the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games, the city of Tryon, NC, was awarded the WEG, the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) announced November 3. The eight-discipline quadrennial equestrian world championships will be held at the Tryon International

HE BUILT IT AND THE WORLD IS COMING: The Tryon International Equestrian Center, whose construction was spearheaded by mogul Mark Bellissimo

Equestrian Center in Mill Creek, NC. The TIEC was built by, and is owned by, Tryon Equestrian Partners (TEP). TEP’s managing partner, Mark Bellissimo, is also the controlling force behind the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, FL—host of the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival and the Winter Equestrian Festival—and owner of the equestrian newsweekly The Chronicle of the Horse (see “Greetings from Welly World, Florida,” September 2016). Given the shortened time frame, the FEI put a priority on selecting a venue that didn’t require from-the-groundup construction. “Almost all the necessary infrastructure for our eight disciplines is already in place,” FEI president Ingmar de Vos said of the 1,600-acre TIEC, which already boasts 1,200 permanent stalls, 12 arenas, a cross-country course, trails, restaurants and shopping, and more. An on-site state-of-the-art veterinary facility is under construction, according to the FEI. The 2018 Games were originally scheduled to be held August 12-26, but the dates were changed to September 10-23 to avoid the worst of North Carolina’s summer heat. According to the event’s website, tryon2018.com, tickets were to go on sale last month. At press time, competition schedules had not yet been announced.

In an emotional ceremony held December 14 during the London International Horse Show at Olympia, the duo reprised their gold-medal-winning “Big Ben” freestyle from the 2012 London Olympic Games and then made their final lap of honor as co-owner and trainer Carl Hester and groom Alan Davies looked on. “Blueberry” may be retired from competition, but Dujardin said she intends to continue to give exhibition performances with the 15-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, to help foster interest in dressage.

BEHIND THE SCENES

FEI Approves Reducing Team Size from 4 to 3

t isn’t a done deal yet—the International Olympic Committee must give final approval when it meets this July—but the FEI at its 2016 General Assembly green-lighted downsizing Olympic and Paralympic Games equestrian teams’ size from four horse/rider combinations to three.

RICHARD JUILLIART/FEI; JENNIFER BRYANT

ALL IN FAVOR: Proposed Olympic and Paralympic format changes for Tokyo 2020 were approved at the 2016 FEI General Assembly

Meeting in Tokyo, host city of the 2020 Games, in November, representatives from national equestrian federations approved the format changes for that Olympiad. The reduction in team size would mean the elimination of the drop score (the discarding of the lowest score for results purposes). A reserve horse/rider combination for team competitions would still be named. Of the 107 national federations represented at the 2016 FEI General Assembly, 11 (including dressage strongholds Germany and the Netherlands) voted against the proposal.

“This was a really important vote for the future of our sport if we are to increase universality in accordance with the recommendations of Olympic Agenda 2020,” FEI president Ingmar De Vos said after the vote. “We need to increase the number of participating nations at the Olympic Games but within our existing quota of 200. Reducing team members to three per nation was probably the only way to boost the number of flags.” For Olympic dressage competition, each team would be permitted to bring a reserve horse/rider combination, or a reserve horse only. One individual per nation not represented by a qualified team would be allowed. The top eight teams from the Grand Prix would qualify for the Grand Prix Special, and the GP Special alone would determine the team medals. Using a new “heat system,” 18 individuals from the Grand Prix would qualify for the GP Freestyle, which would determine the individual medals. In Olympic eventing, dressage competition would be consolidated from two days to one. Substitution of a reserve combination would result in a penalty for the team. The team competition would be run at the “Olympic level,” defined as FEI 4* for dressage and jumping and 3* technical difficulty for cross-country. In Paralympic dressage competition, teams would be permitted to bring four horse/rider combinations. All four would compete as individuals in their individual championship tests, after which three would be declared as the team members. Team medals would be determined solely through the results of the team tests. Nations not fielding teams would each be able to send two individuals. The top eight combinations from each grade’s individual test would qualify for the freestyle.

ob title: Education Department manager, USDF, Lexington, KY (usdf.org) What I do: I oversee the USDF Education Department. We edit and create videos, write and create educational content, plan events, and manage volunteers, just to name a few things. I review all video footage that is created within the department and review all printed material to make sure that everything is consistent. I travel to several events throughout the year. Other days, I am chained to my desk. I also work with the USEF [US Equestrian Federation] on many projects and programs. How I got started: I am a graduate “A” of the US Pony Clubs and a longtime USPC volunteer. Prior to coming to USDF, I owned an eventing facility in California with my mom. I taught and trained riders at all levels in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Something people don’t know about me is that I also owned a pistachio orchard while in California. Best thing about my job: I get to come to the Kentucky Horse Park every day! Worst thing about my job: The 45-minute commute. My horses: I don’t show any more, but my kids do, in eventing, jumpers, dressage, and mounted games. We have nine horses on our farm: a Quarter Horse, an Icelandic horse, a Connemara cross, Thoroughbreds, and Bashkir Curlies. Tip: The department is more than education. We coordinate many events and programs, including some competitive-based programs. —Katherine Walcott

US organizer EQU Expo LLC, Naperville, IL, plans to stage licensed events under the Equitana brand, the German parent organization announced in November. Launching in March, the Equitana USA Conference Program will consist of educational events held in four cities per year, according to a November 16 press release. It will be followed by Equitana USA Open Air, a family-oriented festival for recreational riders, October 20-22 at Galway Downs Equestrian Center in Temecula, CA.

Dressage Film Is a Winner at 2016 Equus Film Festival

he 2016 fourth annual Equus Film Festival presented by Protect the Harvest took place in New York City in November and hosted more than 140 films of various lengths and equine-related subjects, including dressage. Winner of the Equestrian Art Film - Mini award was Slow and Steady Wins the Race: The Story of Laura Graves and “Diddy.” The six-minute short film, submitted by Netta-Lee Lax/NBC Sports Group, traces the rise of Laura Graves and her horse, Verdades, from a teenager with an unruly young horse to the top-scoring members of the bronze-medal-winning 2016 US Olympic dressage team. Other films shown included Dressage Movements Revealed: Biomechanical Concepts and Bodywork Using the Masterson Method, about how the equine skeleton and muscles work together to create dressage movements. Horseware Ireland’s Making a Champion series, which won in the Equestrian Commercial Series category, included a mini-documentary about Irish international dressage competitor Judy Reynolds. And the winner of the Equestrian International Feature Film award was It Swarte Goud (The Black Gold), about the beautiful and elegant Friesian. Books were a part of the 2016 Equus Film Festival, as well. The well-known US dressage trainer and author Yvonne Barteau took home Winnie awards in both film and book categories: Her film Into the Spotlight won for Horse Rescuers – Full, and her book The Dressage Horse Manifesto won for Equine Training – Horse. An additional dressage-themed short film raised a few eyebrows. In the satirical She Bought Another Horse, Adolf Hitler vents to his Nazi advisors about the fact that his wife has bought yet another dressage horse. —Diana De Rosa Digital Edition Bonus Content

Angela Trevithick, Kailua-Kona, HI

ngela Trevithick is a USDF-certified instructor at Training and First Levels. She attended college at William Woods University in Missouri, where she earned a BS in equestrian science. How I got started in dressage: I began taking dressage lessons when I was 10. I rode anything I could and taught

summer camps until attending college. My first instructor, Cyndy DeMeter; and Jennifer Baumert are the equine professionals who have most influenced and encouraged me. Highlight of the Instructor/Trainer Program: I was surprised by the support of everyone involved. The instructors, facilitators, and examiners all showed that they truly want to see applicants succeed in the industry. Why certification is important: I wanted to become certified because I love dressage and learning as much as I can about it. This was a way for me to share my knowledge and love of dressage with my students, while earning credibility as a professional. Training tip: Don’t be afraid to ask questions and learn from every situation in the program, even the intimidating ones! Contact me: angela.mahealani@gmail. com or (808) 756-0108.

“The Olympics for Amateurs” The secret is out! The US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® are the destination championships for AAs—and increasing numbers of open riders BY JENNIFER M. KEELER

USDF/VICTORIA TROUT

THE BIG STAGE: For many dressage riders, getting the chance to compete in the Kentucky Horse Park’s Alltech Arena is a “bucket list” accomplishment

32 February 2017 • USDF CONNECTION

SUSANJSTICKLE.COM

t’s like the Olympics for amateurs here. After coming last year, I planned out all of 2016 just to make sure we’d be back.” The words of adult-amateur rider Katherine Lewis, of Aiken, SC, reflected the sentiments of many of the nearly 400 competitors who once again journeyed to Lexington, KY, November 10-13 for the 2016 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®. Now in its fourth year, the Finals are a unique national head-to-head competition that offers a wealth of championship titles (see page 42 for complete results) and more than $60,000 in prize money, showcasing adult-amateur and open dressage competitors from Training Level to Grand Prix. The 2016 edition ran like a well-oiled machine, thanks to a seasoned organizing committee led by outgoing co-chair Janine Malone and to the dedicated volunteers who return year after year to the picturesque Kentucky Horse Park for what has become a destination event and fitting fall finale for dressage competitors from across the country. “As the first time co-chair of the organizing committee,” said USDF vice president Lisa Gorretta, “I had the opportunity to see the US Dressage Finals through fresh eyes, and to say it takes a village is a pretty big understatement. This year’s Finals were truly a testament to the skills of the management team and the dedication of the large pool of volunteers and the USDF staff. Everyone involved pulls together to make this competition such a special event for the membership. There is truly no other dressage competition in the country quite like it.” Malone believes the 2016 Finals were the best and smoothest-running edition to date, even with some unexpected challenges. A blown transformer on the final afternoon of competition had utility crews scrambling and left the indoor Alltech Arena with only emergency lighting illuminating the arena floor. But the show must go on, as the saying goes; and officials, staff, volunteers, and competitors banded together to ensure that the last class of the day and the final round of (now-unmounted) awards ceremonies went off without a hitch. Some tweaks to the Finals organizational structure increased efficiency, communication, and volunteer satisfaction, Malone said. Special thanks go to volunteer coordinator Kathy Grisolia and assistant to the manager Kevin Booth “for their long hours and hard work to make the show run smoothly,” she said. It’s this kind of behind-the-scenes effort that motivates people to return to Kentucky year after year. Take Julie McCrady, for instance: Since the inaugural Finals in 2013, she and her husband have made the annual trek from Raymore,

REGULARS: Since the Finals’ inception, adult amateur Julie McCrady has come from Missouri to compete with her homebred Hanoverian mare, Remanessa

MO, to compete with their homebred Hanoverian mare, Remanessa. “I really love the show; every year it seems to get better and better, and the people who put the event on are great. They make the drive worth it,” McCrady said. “Even the hotel staff, residents, and everyone around the Horse Park are so friendly and really seem to cater to riders, bending over backward to help you. I’ve even encouraged my friends to go there to ride in the open show just so they could be part of the Finals experience.”

Record-Setting Turnout McCrady was one of a record-setting 380 US Dressage Finals competitors in 2016, a number that has risen steadily since 304 exhibitors turned out for the inaugural edition. Once again, all nine USDF regions were represented, ranging from 95 riders from Region 2 to nine from Region 6. Competitors traveled from 39 states plus the District of Columbia, up from 36 states in 2015, with the highest numbers of entrants hailing from Florida, Illinois, Texas, Virginia, and Kentucky. Interest in the Finals has produced an uptick in participation in the Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Championships, which serve as qualifying competitions. The Regionals saw approximately 4 percent growth in 2016, with a total of 2,698 exhibitors. Nominations (preliminary USDF CONNECTION

A Judge’s Perspective

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING: Judge Janet Foy had high praise for the quality of riding, horses, and scoring technology at the US Dressage Finals

growth: “We now have two rings doing only freestyles for two entire days. How cool is that?” said Foy. But she issued a note of caution regarding the freestyle rules: “We need to make sure the judges, trainers, and riders are up to date on the rules, as we saw quite a few illegal movements being performed. This is too bad, as these riders have ridden these tests at least three times to get to the Finals, and it’s a shame that these mistakes weren’t caught earlier. Everyone who is involved with freestyles needs to take responsibility to know the rules.”

olorado-based FEI 4* dressage judge Janet Foy has officiated at major competitions around the world. But the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® remains one of her favorite shows: She judged the inaugural event in 2013 and was back in Kentucky again in 2016 as part of the 14-member ground jury. We caught up with Foy to ask how the show has evolved. She had lots of praise—and one cautionary note for competitors. “I am so encouraged to see even more regional representation,” Foy said. “The first Finals had only a few competitors from California, and only one from Region 6. This year, we saw many more from the West Coast. Yes, it is a long way; however, in my opinion, there really is no other facility that can host this event with such quality footing and venues.” Foy continued: “The event is also like no other in the world with the paperless system that Kevin Bradbury and his Horse Show Office team provides. Anyone can see the scores in real time, including all the individual movements from each judge, and the tests are e-mailed to the riders’ cell phones. This input is immediate and very helpful.” Freestyles at the Finals have enjoyed tremendous

entries) for the Finals also increased last year: At the close of the first six USDF regions’ deadlines for Finals nomination, there was slightly more than a 17-percent increase in nominations, with the biggest percentage increase being in Region 6 (Alaska, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and western Montana), whose competitors live the farthest from the Kentucky Horse Park. Other regions also showing impressive increases in nominations were Regions 1 (a 44 percent jump) and 4 (33 percent). At the Region 8 championships in Saugerties, NY, in September, show secretary Debra Reinhardt (who’s also the US Dressage Finals event coordinator) noticed that “When I checked people in, over 90 percent had already declared for the Finals. I also heard buzz about earning wild-card scores for the first time. I attended quite a few of the awards ceremonies and heard from many of the riders, ‘Kentucky, here we come!’”

Attracting the Best of the Best The US Dressage Finals rose to prominence as a national adult-amateur showcase, but it’s also drawing increasing numbers of open riders, including juniors, young riders, dressage professionals, and international high-performance competitors.

HIGH PERFORMANCE: More open riders, including 2016 open Grand Prix and GP Freestyle champion Chase Hickok on Sagacious HF, are coming to the US Dressage Finals

In her first trip to the Finals, Chase Hickok, of Wellington, FL, rode Sagacious HF to win the 2016 Grand Prix Open and GP Freestyle championship titles. “We graduated last year from the [FEI] Under 25 [Grand Prix] division,” said Hickok, “and were looking for a new goal.

What actually makes “good” footing good? As horsemen, we love to talk about the footing. Good, bad, but never indifferent. Good footing can actually increase the longevity of a horse’s career. Bad footing can send you straight to the vet. Recently the FEI published a white paper discussing the science behind good footing. The same scientific approach that has been applied to Attwood’s premium blends for almost twenty years.

SUSANJSTICKLE.COM

From the hoof’s first impact to the rollover, there is a concussive element to all footing. Mostly, the horse’s soft tissue will absorb much of it, but good footing can minimize the effects. As the horse’s hoof impacts the surface, there is movement forward. Not enough grip and the horse will slip. Too much grip and the horse cannot move freely. It takes a master craftsman who understands the science and a horse’s biomechanics to make truly good footing. That’s why America’s leading riders choose Attwood.

he was on the road for four days straight, but Morgan Barrows, of Monroe, WA, wasn’t going to let a little distance stop her from attending this year’s US Dressage Finals, even though she knew what she was in for when she loaded her partner San Corazon on the trailer: The pair made the same trek to Lexington, KY, in 2014. “We had so much fun two years ago and we did really well, so we definitely wanted to come back,” Barrows explained. “Coming to the Finals was such a great experience for us all the way around. The Kentucky Horse Park is incredible, the people are amazing, and being a part of that atmosphere with athletes from all around the country and meeting new people was really special.” Barrows made the cross-country trek with fellow Region 6 competitor Lauren Thornlow, of Snohomish, WA, and for both riders the journey ultimately proved worthwhile. Barrows won the Intermediate I Open Freestyle Championship with San Corazon, while Thornlow rode her Oldenburg gelding Royal Konig to win the Grand Prix Adult Amateur title. “It’s a long way for us to come to the Finals, but we had a super trip coming here and have no regrets,”

Barrows said. “For all of those people sitting at home considering coming in the future, I would have to say, ‘Get in the WORTH THE TRIP: Region 6 rider Morgan Barrows (shown winning the I-I truck and go.’ Open Freestyle title with San Corazon) was It’s great here in among a growing number of Western-US Kentucky, and I’m competitors making the trip to Kentucky not sure there’s anywhere else that can do this event like this.” Even though newly crowned Prix St. Georges Adult Amateur Reserve Champion Elma Garcia picked a faster route to the Finals from her home in Thermal, CA, she still wasn’t going to miss her chance. Her Hanoverian mare, Wenesa, and several other Region 7 mounts hopped a plane to Kentucky with Thoroughbred racehorses returning from the recent Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita. “I told my coach right from the beginning of the year that I wanted to qualify for the Finals and have this experience,” said Garcia. “This is a ‘bucket list’ event, and I don’t know how you can’t come if given the chance. I’m just so happy we came and proud of my mare.”

o doubt about it: The logistics of traveling to the Finals can be daunting. But in 2016, increasing numbers of competitors utilized the US Dressage Finals Transportation Resources web page, which includes links to equine-transport services and a Horse Transport Share Forum, where competitors could connect with others in their areas to organize group transportation. Suzie Hallé, of Englewood, CO, used the ride-sharing forum to help arrange safe, affordable transportation to Kentucky for her mount, Tennyson-ISF. “Without a doubt, the tricky part is getting there,” Hallé said. “So I was happy to see the link on the Finals web page for the transportation resources. The more this forum is used, the more people from across the country and along shipping routes can network with each other.” Some USDF regions have also stepped up to help. Region 6, for one, implemented a travel-grant system in 2016 whereby riders who qualified for the Finals could apply for financial assistance. “Our regional director, Carolynn Bunch, worked to get it started,” said Region 6 competitor Morgan Barrows, “and it’s really helped us with some of the costs. I think it’s a great idea, and I hope it grows both in USDF-Connection-Mag-Feb2017-20161230OL.pdf 1 12/30/16 our region and for other regions around the country.”

njoy a few of our favorite moments from the 2016 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®.

She Did It!

ast summer, the USDF launched a monthly digital publication, YourDressage, available on mobile devices through the free app USDF: Your Dressage Connection. YourDressage, which is free for any equestrian enthusiast to download, focuses on human-interest articles and provides a platform for dressage riders and fans to share their stories. An inaugural feature was the “Road to the Finals” series, which followed three riders’ journeys to the 2016 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®. It took a lot of courage for Region 1 competitor Lysa Hodgson, of Aberdeen, NC, to share her “Road to the Finals” story with the world. Last year was her fourth attempt to qualify for Kentucky aboard her 12-year-old Percheron/Thoroughbred PMU rescue, The Usual Suspect. “I’m a chicken about everything, and so is my horse,” Hodgson confessed. “To say I have show nerves is like saying my fair skin turns a bit pink in the sun, when in reality I burst into flames somewhere around the 10-minute mark.” But Hodgson and “Bogey” kept trucking along, and their scores were high enough to earn them

a ticket first to the Great American/USDF Region 1 Championships, and then to Kentucky. “My goals,” Hodgson said, “were to not have a heart attack, keep my trainer from wanting to strangle me, and really try to enjoy the whole process. I also look forward to having the opportunity to empower and embolden other nervous riders with my story of making it happen even when you’re terrified.” Hodgson’s experience at the Finals was “so emotional—way more emotionally draining than I expected,” she said. “I feel like we just returned from venturing out into a bigger world and we’re better for it, even if it was terrifying at times. We finally made it, thanks to a huge team effort and a lot of patience and perseverance. The whole thing was an amazing experience, and I’m still in awe that it actually happened. I’m not sure I will ever be able to repeat it, but at least we can ‘check the box’ that we’ve done it once, and no one can ever take away our Finals experience.” Read more about Hodgson’s journey and those of our two additional featured riders, Amy Paterson and Cindy Olson, via free download of the complete “Road to the Finals” series in the August through November 2016 issues of YourDressage.

op-scoring riders in various divisions from each of the Great American/USDF Regional Championships once again competed on regional teams in the second annual US Dressage Finals Regions Cup. Each of the nine USDF regions except for Region 5 fielded a full team. “I think it’s a great way to show our pride and encourage regional spirit,” said Region 6 team member Morgan Barrows, of Monroe, WA. “Interestingly, I don’t even know the other two people on our region’s team, so this way we get a chance to meet new people, not only from around the country but also from within our own region. And when our team does well, it can really boost interest and excitement for everyone, and we can show people back home how we proudly represented our region and thank them for supporting us.” Coming out on top was the Region 3 team (Kristy Truebenbach Lund/Living Lucky at Training Level Adult Amateur, Amy Swerdlin/Quileute CCW at Second Level Adult Amateur, and Endel Ots/Samhitas at Prix St. Georges Open). Their winning average score of 70.498 percent was good enough to defend their 2015 Regions Cup title, just ahead of Region 7 with 69.172 percent and Region 9 with 69.067.

This felt like a natural choice because I think it’s an awesome program, it’s a great way to cap off the season, and we were really excited to come and see it for ourselves. Everybody’s been so nice, from the volunteers driving the coffee cart in the morning to the staff handing out carrots for the horses. We’ll certainly be coming back. This will now have a permanent spot on our calendar.” Hickok’s coach, the international competitor Endel Ots, made his own first trip to the Finals a winning one by claiming the Prix St. Georges Open championship aboard the Oldenburg gelding Samhitas. “We’ve competed together in Europe for the 2015 Young Horse World Championships as well as Devon (PA) this year, so he’s used to competing in venues like this with a lot of at-

mosphere,” Ots said of his mount. “I’d heard and read about this show and wanted to come, and it’s been fantastic. If I had more horses ready, I’d bring them, too. I couldn’t recommend the show any more.” s Jennifer M. Keeler, of Lexington, KY, is a freelance writer and marketer who served as the press officer for the 2016 US Dressage Finals.

We’r e All in This Together Collaboration is the theme at the 2016 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention BY JENNIFER O. BRYANT

ICONIC: In a scenic downtown location, USDF convention-goers were literally at the foot of the famous St. Louis Gateway Arch

54 February 2017 • USDF CONNECTION

COURTESY OF THE ST. LOUIS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

t the 2016 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention in St. Louis, MO, it was the actions of another organization that arguably loomed largest. The USDF is the dressage affiliate organization of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), the USA’s national equestrian governing body. The USEF’s annual speech to the USDF’s Board of Governors is typically little more than a rundown of accomplishments and notices. But in December, for the first time in this reporter’s memory, the USEF representative addressed the proverbial elephant in the room. That would be the commonly heard refrain: “I wouldn’t join [the USEF] if I didn’t have to,” said USEF CEO William J. Moroney. Because the USEF is perceived as a competitiononly necessity, the USEF’s membership of 82,000 consists almost solely of people involved with USEF-licensed shows—a mere 4 percent of all US horse owners, Moroney said. In contrast, he said, the USEF equivalent in the Netherlands (which, need we point out, is a teensy-tiny country compared to the USA) boasts 200,000 members, 120,000 of whom are “fan” members, he said. Moroney, the former US Hunter Jumper Association president who was named USEF CEO last June after serving as interim CEO since January 2016, has made it his mission to remake the USEF’s image. Fresh off a year’s worth of strategic planning, he unveiled a new mission statement, goals (to build membership “from the grass roots level on up”), and logo and branding (the existing stylized horse head and simply the words US Equestrian instead of the old “law enforcement”-style shield), and more. By the time you read this, a redesigned USEF website should be live. A new advertising campaign with the slogan “Join in the Joy” will run in mainstream as well as equestrian media, Moroney said. The ultimate goal of the USEF’s efforts, he said, “is to change ‘I have to belong’ to ‘I want to belong.’” This image makeover and industry outreach, as USDF president George Williams notes in his “Inside USDF” column on page 4, bode well for the USDF as a USEF affiliate. Besides, as Williams reports, the USEF is asking the USDF to take on some additional responsibilities. All of this stands to raise the USDF’s profile—and has prompted USDF’s leadership to likewise undertake the strategic-planning process.

Let’s Move! Dressage instructors increasingly recognize that correct training can’t happen without correct equitation. We can’t take lunge lessons to improve our seat and position at the USDF convention, so we did the next best thing: Pilates.

sional dancer and an amateur dressage rider. She kicked off her intro to this core-focused fitness method with an evening lecture, followed by three early-morning classes called “Pilates Is Dressage for Riders.” Whether you were a Pilates neophyte or an experienced practitioner, Dulak’s sharp eye and insistence on proper form had the 50 or so participants discovering weaknesses, imbalances, and tight areas that compromise their effectiveness in the saddle. Other rider-centric sessions included University of Houston – Victoria (TX) psychology and biology professor Dr. Sandy Venneman’s talks on equestrian sport psychology and equine behavior; life/wellness coach and dressage pro Jen Verharen’s guidance on goal-setting and strategic planning; and biomechanics expert Dr. Hilary Clayton’s talk on rider posture and mechanics. Look for in-depth reports on these and other convention education sessions in future issues of USDF Connection. Want a taste now? See “11 Convention Education Takeaways” on page 58.

10 Tips to Help Your GMO Today

he perennially popular GMO roundtable discussions had group-member-organization representatives sharing ideas on everything from volunteer recruitment to member retention. Here are some of the gems. 1. Give special awards at your annual banquet to those who volunteered three or more times in the past year. 2. Serve refreshments at board meetings. And wine. And snacks. Did we mention wine? 3. Look beyond the horse world to find volunteers: retirement communities, Boy Scouts, military personnel, Wounded Warriors. One GMO recruits members of a local volunteer fire department; the fire department collects donations at the GMO’s events. 4. If your GMO board needs leadership or management training, engage a facilitator to conduct a workshop. Check your state’s resources for nonprofit organizations. Lynda.com contains leadership-training videos. 5. Are your board meetings interminable? Do people have to travel long distances to attend? Try group conference calling with Zoom (zoom.us), which is free for the first 40 minutes. One GMO cut meeting times from three hours to—you guessed it—40 minutes when it started using Zoom. 6. Ask volunteers what kinds of rewards they want.

STRIDE in Ocala, FL, was awarding plaques until it asked. Now it gives gift cards. 7. Offering a clinic as a member benefit doesn’t have to be an expensive production. The Arredondo Dressage Society (FL) got 10 clinicians each to donate a 45-minute lesson, all in one day and at one facility. ADS members bid online for the clinic slots, with proceeds benefiting a local charity. The event was free to auditors. 8. Offer double volunteer hours to those doing arena setup and tear-down, two of the least favorite chores at a show. 9. Use an online service to track volunteer hours. There are several options, such as Volunteer1.com and TrackItForward.com. 10. Utilize USDF’s GMO resources on usdf.org. The GMO Handbook, for example, contains detailed information on setting up a GMO, marketing, newsletters, using social media, and more. USDF’s own Policies and Procedures, Bylaws, and other documents can be helpful models. USDF has also produced prepackaged one- and two-hour lecture programs for GMO use; download the modules from the GMO page of the USDF website.

11 Convention Education Takeaways

dd these USDF convention presenters’ tips to your riding, training, and fitness toolboxes.

1. Driving, sitting, and running are enemies of good riding posture because they shorten and tighten the iliopsoas muscles (“hip flexors”). A good dressage seat requires both a stable core (from pelvis and spine up to the rib cage) and an engaged “thuttock”—the thigh/buttock connection, where the hamstrings meet the glutes—to anchor the psoas open and to open the hip angle. – Pilates instructor Janice Dulak 2. Everything in the horse’s body is interconnected. Too much time spent riding in extended gaits can lead to problems in the poll or even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome. Problems in the horse’s sacrum can also affect the poll. –Equine bodyworker and Masterson Method practitioner Coralie Hughes 3. When you set a riding or life goal (and you should), phrase it in the past tense as if you’ve already achieved it. If you use the future tense, it keeps your goal in the future. Include specifics and your intention (why you want to achieve it) in your goal statement. –Life coach Jen Verharen 4. Do you suffer from show nerves? Know that there is no physiological difference between excitement and fear. The only difference is what you label the feeling. –Sport psychologist Dr. Sandy Venneman 5. In riding lateral movements such as half-pass, your core muscles not only hold your body in position over the horse’s inside shoulder; they actually pull the horse in the desired direction. In other words, you are not “pushing him over” as many texts describe. –Biomechanics expert Dr. Hilary Clayton

6. Learn to notice your horse’s responses to your aids. If you aid, he responds, and you don’t release the aid—say, the leg or the rein—you’re actually training him to stop responding. –Dr. Sandy Venneman 7. “Carrot stretches” are fine, but don’t forcibly pull on your horse’s legs or other body parts in an effort to stretch them. If you and not the horse are controlling the stretch, you could turn a muscle microtear into a macrotear. If you want to smooth the skin beneath the girth before you mount, lift the horse’s knees but don’t pull the legs out. – Coralie Hughes 8. Accomplishing a goal represents change, and change can be scary; that’s why sometimes we self-sabotage. To reach a goal, you may need to experience the fear. Unless the fear is physical and realistic (such as of getting bucked off an unruly horse), interpret it as a green light instead of a red light. –Jen Verharen 9. Don’t use “can’t” or “never” in your self-talk. If you “can’t ride a correct shoulder-in,” reframe the statement as a challenge: “I will improve my shoulder-in” or even “I find it challenging to ride shoulder-in.” –Dr. Sandy Venneman 10. Which of your legs is stronger? If you’re righthanded, your left leg is probably the stronger and more stable, and your right leg is more supple. And in a study of riders, all of whom were right-handed, even when riders thought they were sitting evenly over both seat bones, most carried more weight over the left seat bone. –Dr. Hilary Clayton 11. Most skilled trainers use what psychologists call shaping: rewarding successive approximations toward a desired behavior. The trick is in recognizing and immediately rewarding the attempts as they progress. –Dr. Sandy Venneman

sical Freestyle year-end awards and Musical Freestyle Challenge awards was raised from 60 percent to 63 percent. The USDF Board of Governors also approved instituting an Adult Amateur Musical Freestyle award category. USDF elections: Regional directors Sue Bender (3), Heather Petersen (5), and Sherry Guess (9) were reelected by acclamation. In Region 1, Bettina Longaker won over Donna Kelly. Kevin Reinig, who had withdrawn from the Region 7 contest, nominated Carol Tice from the floor, and Tice was elected by acclamation. Safe Sport Initiative: In 2017, all USDF-certified instructors will be required to complete a Safe Sport course, which was developed by the US Olympic Committee to promote training environments free from bullying, harassment, and abuse. Safe Sport training will be recommended for USDF L graduates in 2017 and required in 2018, and will be required for NAJYRC coaches and chefs d’équipe. USDF media: The new interactive, device-adaptive USDF website (usdf.org) launched in November. Members can check their status toward earning USDF gold, silver, and bronze rider medals on USDFScores.com. And have you downloaded the new, free USDF app, Your Dressage Connection? Special features include “GMO Spotlight” and exclusive human-interest stories.

New GMO award: Beginning in 2017, USDF will recognize a GMO for its development of a creative program for increasing membership or sponsorship. Potential rule changes: If the US Equestrian Federation approves the proposed rule changes at its January convention that USDF members green-lighted at the USEF rulechange open forum, several new competition rules will go into effect. Among them: • Approved brands of nose nets would be permitted at USEF/ USDF dressage shows if accompanied by a veterinarian’s letter attesting that the horse has headshaking syndrome. • Crescent nosebands would no longer be permitted in dressage competition. • To reflect the USEF’s 2016 revised definition of travers, the renvers definition would be rewritten to state, among others, that it is a four-track lateral movement in collected trot of about 35 degrees, with the horse’s forehand leaving the track to commence the movement and returning to the track at the conclusion.

See You in Lexington! Mark your calendars for November 29-December 2, when the Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention returns to Lexington, KY. We look forward to seeing you in the “Horse Capital of the World”! s

HORSE OF THE YEAR

MATERIALE

Sunshine Sport Horse Association Perpetual Trophy for the Highest-Scoring Champion

Pantsa Fire HU Owner/Breeder: Horses Unlimited, Albuquerque, New Mexico Rider: Rachel Chowanec, Albuquerque, New Mexico

68 February 2017 • USDF CONNECTION

SUSANJSTICKLE.COM

2011 bay 16.3-hand Hanoverian stallion Sire: Pik L • Dam: Fee

reeder and Horses Unlimited owner Anne Sparks points out that her Pantsa Fire HU earned the Materiale Horse of the Year title “based on three classes at three separate one-day shows at the Colorado Horse Park, with three completely different judges.” With former Young Rider Rachel Chowanec, “Pantsa” scored 82.6 percent in the first class, 83.8 percent in the second, and 84.4 percent in the third. Pantsa had a “pretty spectacular” pedigree, according to Sparks: “by Pik L and out of a full sister to Hubertus Schmidt’s Furst Fabio.” She calls him “a very talented horse but not an easy horse: He was incredibly smart—which made him difficult, because you had to be smarter and faster than he was.” That intelligence, combined with the stallion’s outsized personality, prompted a host of whimsical nicknames, which (depending on the day) ranged from “Fancy Pants” to “Naughty Pants” or “Stinky Pants,” she says. Finding the right trainers for Pantsa proved a bit of a challenge for Sparks, who tried four other riders before inviting Chowanec, who’d relocated from New England to New Mexico, to ride him in USEF Four-Year-Old classes in 2015. Back then, though, the partnership didn’t click; “Rachel told me she couldn’t figure him out,” Sparks says. Enter Florida-based 2004 US Olympic team dressage bronze medalist Lisa Wilcox, who’d been scheduled to work with another of Sparks’s horses. When Sparks decided to retire that horse, “I shipped Pantsa to Lisa instead, for two months of ‘boot camp.’ And in those two months, he came along very nicely. He really grew up.” Wilcox confirms Sparks’s assessment that “the Pik L horses are very intelligent—and if they’re not given direc-

tion by people, they’ll assume it themselves. So when I got Pantsa, I had to set boundaries; then he became an absolute solid citizen. Young horses need to know there are limits, and one of the things I really enjoyed about Pantsa was that he was very quick in understanding those limits. “Of course, he did test me in our first couple of rides, kind of asking, ‘How much do I really have to do?’ But once he understood that wasn’t a question for him to ask, his attitude became ‘Ohh-kay; never mind.’” And “toward the time that he left Florida, his gaits were improving daily. He already had a lovely canter and lovely walk, and he was developing a very good trot. He was a joy to ride, and with such a personality!” With Pantsa back from Florida, and Chowanec successfully back in the saddle, Sparks entered him in the three Materiale classes whose scores earned him the Horse of the Year title. That was in June 2016. Pantsa’s future looked bright—but then events took a sad turn. In July, Pantsa developed an infection on his elbow. Despite veterinary treatment, “he developed a secondary infection and passed away,” Sparks says. “It was such a shame to lose him,” Wilcox says. “I think we were all shocked.” Sparks takes comfort in the fact that Pantsa’s sire, her beloved Pik L, is still going strong at 24. “There are a few more Pik L babies coming—not many, but keep your eyes open,” she says. “I have a little Pik L daughter now, an absolute stunner. She’s got character, and she’s got attitude. So we’ll see how she does.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

STACYLYNNEPHOTO.COM

Welina

ancy Radtke got to know Sycamore Station LLC near Lancaster, PA, and its cofounder Babsi NeidhardtClark when Radtke brought two young horses there for under-saddle training. Along with training, Sycamore Station imported Danish Warmbloods; in 2014, when Radtke was looking for a horse, Sycamore staff found and imported Welina for her. “Knowing there’s such a thing as ‘barn blindness’—being unable to evaluate your own horse realistically,” Radtke says, “I started wanting to see how Welina stacked up against comparable horses. Babsi suggested we enter her in a mare class. So in July 2015 we hauled Welina to Virginia for the Dressage at Lexington show. In our first class, despite most of the other entries having professional handlers, she finished second. We entered her in another class; she got reserve again; entered a third and got another reserve. For the championship class, I engaged professional handler Quinnten Alston—and Welina ended up the Sport Horse Mature Horse Grand Champion.” That September, at Dressage at Devon (PA), Alston guided Welina to the mare championship title at the Great American/USDF Breeders Championship Series’ East Coast Series final. Back in Lexington, VA, in 2016, Welina took the Mature Horse Maiden/Yeld Mare championship. After Welina earned the same title at Dressage at Stone Tavern II in New Jersey, Neidhardt-Clark handled the mare to the breed-show grand championship, mare championship, and mature-horse championship at Dressage at Devon. As for under-saddle classes, Radtke says Welina “did a

few in the fall of 2014, her first year here. But in 2015, it seemed that every time we planned to show her under saddle, something prevented it—such as torrential rains at Lexington.” She hopes that Welina will do more under-saddle showing in 2017, adding that trainer Neidhardt-Clark will be the one riding, “at least initially.” Radtke herself hasn’t yet ridden Welina. Among the factors: “I’d been injured before I bought her—so when Sycamore Station sent me the video, I was in bed, resting, letting my bones mend. And I haven’t done a lot of riding since then. I’m just now trying to get back and take some lessons, and looking forward to when I can start riding her.” Radtke says that Welina is currently trained up to “about Third Level, Fourth Level; she’s started her piaffe training. Her first year here, she showed a little at Training Level, maybe First Level—but by the time she arrived it was July, so there weren’t many shows left to go to.” For 2017, “I’m thinking in terms of shows that aren’t too far away; Dressage at Morven Park (VA), for example, is maybe an hour and a half drive time. To me, it doesn’t make sense to travel far away for a show when I can stay only a day or two. “Our choices will also depend somewhat on where the rest of Babsi’s clients want to show. Generally, we like to go as a group, so a show I’m thinking about may not be where we end up going. But we’ll get it worked out to everybody’s satisfaction. We like to have a good time. We put out a table with food; people come by and chit-chat. It’s a social occasion.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

2011 chestnut 17.3-hand Westfalen mare Sire: Vitalis • Dam: Rhapsodie Owner: Kathleen Bisaro, Warwick, New York Rider: Tom Noone, Abington, Massachusetts Breeder: Ludwig Middendorf, Germany 72 February 2017 • USDF CONNECTION

Venezia

s a little girl, Kathleen “Kathy” Bisaro wanted a horse. Her parents said she could have one when she could buy it herself. At 39, her dream finally came true. Fourteen years later, “I still have that horse, a couple of others—and Venezia, of course.” Bisaro describes herself as a “very adult amateur” with no interest in showing. “What I want is to learn. But I love dressage. So in 2014 I decided to buy a horse to sponsor, and to learn that way about the upper levels I’ll probably never be part of.” Bisaro’s trainer, 2012 Nations Cup team bronze medalist Tom Noone, liked the idea and sent assistant trainer Rachel Butler to help Bisaro horse-shop in Germany. The women visited breeders, attended auctions—and at the Westfalen auction, Bisaro “saw Venezia and fell in love. From then on, I had eyes only for her.” The three-year-old Venezia arrived at Noone’s barn in late October 2014. After giving the youngster some time off, Noone started slowly. “Her big stride and really good gaits gave us a lot to work with,” Noone says. “She was also remarkably easy to collect. We’re mindful not to go too fast with her: collect for only a stride or two, then go forward. We want to bring her along as slowly as possible without boring her. “Initially Rachel rode her and I was helping from the ground. I didn’t get the ride until relatively recently, when Rachel asked me to work with the mare to get her a little more collected. I rode Venezia and fell absolutely in love with her, so I begged and pleaded with Kathy to let me be the first one to show her,” Noone confesses. “And in her first

two classes ever, at Training Level, she was an absolute superstar, scoring over 80 percent in both of them!” Enthralled, Noone “did a little more begging and pleading” to be allowed to continue showing the mare. The 2016 competition season proved a success, including winning the Training Level East Coast Riders Cup title at Centerline Events at HITS (NY) and placing fifth in the Great American/USDF Region 8 Training Level Open championship. Noone describes Venezia as “a typical chestnut mare in that you have to romance her a little bit in the warm-up. Let her get really relaxed and supple before you put her together. It takes only five minutes or so, just to let her feel you respect her. Then you can ask the hard questions and she’s fine: When she gets into ‘work’ mode, she really wants to work.” Looking ahead to 2017, Noone says Venezia “is ready to show First Level, which we haven’t done yet. And she’s schooling Second Level, though she’s not ready to show at that level. But the great news is that Kathy is the kind of owner who really wants to go with whatever is best for the horse. So at this point we’re waiting a little longer to decide whether we’re going to start showing at First Level this coming year and then move up to Second. It really will depend, as spring rolls around, on the horse.” Bisaro agrees: “The most important thing for me is Venezia’s well-being. I don’t want to rush her; I’m happy having the prospect of many competitive years ahead for her. And Tom is right there with me. It’s more about the longevity of her physical health and her mental health. We want to keep her happy for many years.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

2011 brown 16-hand Hanoverian mare Sire: Damsey • Dam: De La Rosa Owners: Louise Leatherdale and Leatherdale Farms, Long Lake, Minnesota Rider: Mike Suchanek, Blaine, Minnesota Breeders: Douglas and Louise Leatherdale, Long Lake, Minnesota 74 February 2017 • USDF CONNECTION

©ANNAN HEPNER/PHELPS MEDIA GROUP

FIRST LEVEL

ounded by the late Douglas Leatherdale, Leatherdale Farms “originally focused on jumpers,” says owner Louise Leatherdale, Douglas’s widow. With Louise’s involvement, “we went more into evaluation and then dressage.” Today Leatherdale Farms includes a “stallion station” plus training facility in Germany and training barns in California and Canada. At the operation’s Minnesota home base, key staffers include barn manager Jessie Lash, trainer/ rider Mike Suchanek, and his coach Alison Sader Larson. Leatherdale recalls that Duchess L arrived just as the live broadcast of the 2011 Prince William/Kate Middleton royal wedding—which she and her husband had been watching—was wrapping up. “We needed a ‘D’ name for the foal,” Leatherdale says, “so I thought, ‘Duchess’! And it’s perfect for her: From the beginning, she’s definitely been a ‘top mare.’” Suchanek started “Duchess” under saddle as a four-yearold in summer 2015. From the start, he says, the mare struck him as mostly “all business, agreeable, not spooky. She goes about her work fairly methodically—and she’s so smart. She learns quickly; it’s fun to teach her something like a simple change or leg-yield or half-pass and have her pick it up right away. And she’s pretty good in the barn; she wants to be the ‘boss mare,’ but we don’t let her get too bossy. “I think she likes showing, too,” Suchanek continues. “She got a little nervous at her first couple of shows, but since then her attitude seems to be ‘seen one showground,

seen ’em all.’ Going into the ring, she’s all business. Then in the awards ceremony, she seems very proud of herself. And, of course, we congratulate her and pet her. “I think she’s going to be quite the fantastic ride in the upper levels. But we’re taking it slowly. She’s just six now, and we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves or ahead of her.” For now, the Minnesota winter is a good time for staying home and schooling—“just learning a little bit each day,” Suchanek says. With Duchess, “some days I’ll just ask her to go forward and relax over her back; some days I’ll ask for a little more collection and strength training. The horses in general really seem to go for that wintertime pattern of just training a little; they respond with a little more acceptance.” Asked about 2017 competition plans for Duchess, Leatherdale says she’s awaiting recommendations from her barn manager and trainer/rider. “In general, I let Jessie and Mike make those decisions; I don’t have any preferences as long as it’s a good show and the horse can do well. And if Duchess is anything like her father, she will do well.” Suchanek says: “I think we’re going to try Duchess in the Six-Year-Old Young Horse; then Second Level and maybe a little bit of Third Level.” He adds, “I don’t see any obstacles in her way at this point. “We’re sooo proud of Duchess. We dote on her in the barn—where we’ve hung up her First Level championship blanket and plaque!” —D. J. Carey Lyons

BARBARA FOOSE

Shirocco

mateur rider Carol Dover and her musician husband both enjoy watching dressage, particularly freestyle. So every year the Tallahassee residents relocate their RV to the Wellington area to enjoy the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival. But soon after Dover, who’d ridden hunters in her youth, decided to buy herself “a schoolmaster—a really nice older dressage horse,” complications arose. A breast-cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment sidelined her for about 18 months. To keep her horse going in her absence, she sent him to a trainer; but by the time she began riding again, age and health were bringing the horse’s career to an end. Dover bought another horse, but he turned out to be “more ‘Germanic’” than she enjoyed riding. So again she went looking—and met dressage trainer Jodie Kelly. Kelly has “trained with some of the best: started riding with Anky van Grunsven at age twelve, spent a lot of time in Europe,” Dover says. “She’s also a very special person. And she told me, ‘Carol, you are not going to buy another horse unless I’m with you!’” Although Dover had her heart set on a Spanish horse, Kelly pointed out that more reasonably priced mounts could be had in Germany and the Netherlands. Persuaded, Dover ponied up frequent-flier miles for plane tickets to Europe, “where, visiting barns in Holland and in Germany, we saw twenty-three horses!” They had arrangements to see another 20 in Spain, “but before we left Germany, I found Shirocco, a seventeen-hand, six-year-old Rhinelander. He wasn’t what I’d planned to bring home, but I knew I’d found my next partner.” After Shirocco arrived in Florida, however, Dover soon learned that “things like car parks and trailers were all new to him. For a professional, introducing a horse to new surroundings is a standard part of training, but it’s a need I hadn’t an-

ticipated. So when a golf cart suddenly rounded a nearby corner of the indoor arena, he had a complete meltdown—and I found myself on the ground, asking, ‘What happened?’ “Since then, Jodie’s done a fantastic job of acclimatizing him. Still, we did have one accident: At our first show, a gust of wind rattled blinds on the judge’s booth. Shirocco startled, I wasn’t prepared, and he bucked me off. That put me on crutches. But by then I was in love. So I decided that, no matter who laughed at me, I was going to try to bond with Shirocco through ‘natural horsemanship’ ground work.” Since then, Dover and her horse have taken clinics with Pat Parelli and Tristan Tucker, “and I’ve become a believer. “It’s something a lot of professionals—like Jodie, who may work with fifteen horses in a day—don’t have the time to do,” Dover says. “So she does the training on Shirocco, and I do work on the ground. It may not be the perfect mix for every horse, but it’s what this horse needed. In the long run, I’ll need to be the one helping Shirocco build his confidence; I’m already at a point where I’m much better at that. But it’s great to have Jodie available to get on and calm him when he hits a ‘What’s that?’ moment. “I didn’t go to Europe to buy a horse that only my trainer could ride. My goal was to have a horse I could ride and enjoy,” Dover continues. That’s why she’s particularly proud of winning the 2016 First Level championship from her USDF GMO, the Deep South Dressage and Combined Training Association. This winter, Shirocco is in Wellington with Kelly for the show season, with Dover shuttling back and forth between home and her horse as her flexible work schedule allows. “Being there with him, I learn not just about riding but also about conditioning him and teaching him. And then he comes home with me.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Rosalut NHF

ne year after being named 2015 Adequan®/USDF Second Level Horse of the Year, Rosalut NHF earned the Third Level title—even though, as rider/trainer Carly Taylor-Smith says, the pair “didn’t do many major shows in 2016. We focused more on training.” But when the gelding did compete, he got scores in the seventies—“and, at one show, an 82 percent in two different classes, from two different judges.” So she and owner Nikki Taylor-Smith, a former British dressage judge who’s also Carly’s mother, “are very happy with his progress.” Rosalut also competed in three FEI Six-Year-Old classes, doing well enough to qualify for the 2016 Markel/USEF National Championships in Illinois. Taylor-Smith “really thought about going, but he was in such a good place in his training and conditioning that not going made more sense.” Hoping to “come out really prepared at Prix St. Georges in 2017,” Taylor-Smith says, “we’ve been working with passage, for which he shows great talent: very encouraging for his prospects of getting to Grand Prix. And his training has been pretty easy. I was a little worried that because his passage is so good, with huge suspension, producing a piaffe that’s small and quick would be tricky. But he’s really starting to pick it up.” And “the way his behavior has matured at shows—he’s really focused—has been a big plus. He goes in, does his job, and comes out. That’s been the best part: finding a really good flow within him and between the two of us.” Having a horse this talented, Taylor-Smith says, “a trainer can easily feel under a great deal of pressure to push him, instead of letting him stay in his own groove.” So although her eventual goal for Rosalut is Grand Prix, she tries to “keep making sure his basics are there and supporting him.

If I sense he needs to have time at home instead of going to a show, that’s what we do. “I don’t want to push Rosalut to I-I too fast,” TaylorSmith continues, “so in 2017 we might just do Developing Prix St. Georges, then move on to the small tour and Grand Prix depending on where he is. I want him to be comfortable and confident enough to do whatever I ask of him, and I tend to have a pretty accurate feel for whether he’s ready to move forward. He’s quite advanced for his age already, largely because he’s quite easy and he naturally doesn’t get stressed. We don’t push him; he just kind of ‘does it.’ “My dream goal would be the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, and I’d want him to have at least a year at Grand Prix before the Olympic trials. He’s pretty much on that road already; at this point, we’re thinking that we’ll just have to see how it goes.” After Rosalut was chosen to be in a 2016 Los Angelesarea clinic with British Olympic dressage gold medalist Charlotte Dujardin, Taylor-Smith was “both excited and humbled” by Dujardin’s saying that the horse “seemed to show great potential for Grand Prix, and that we were on the right road.” Being an independent trainer, Taylor-Smith is grateful for Dujardin’s encouragement. She’s also thankful for “the support of my two sponsors, riding-helmet maker KEP Italia and Dresch Saddlery. Thanks also, and always, to my mum. She found Rosalut listed on the Internet as a ‘foal of distinction,’ bought him, put his ground work on him, and then decided I’d suit him better as a rider. Without her, I wouldn’t have this incredible horse!” —D. J. Carey Lyons

ELIZABETH RUIZ

Drake

n 2010, figuring she couldn’t afford a top-quality trained horse, Eva King, assistant trainer at Winterhaven Dressage and Horsemanship in Davis, CA, went looking for a youngster with potential. One place she visited was DG Bar Ranch, in Hanford, CA, known for producing Dutch Warmbloods but at the time also standing a Hanoverian stallion. Ranch owner/trainer Willy Arts “showed me twelve or thirteen yearlings, two or three at a time. The one I kept asking to see again was Drake. He was on the gangly side, but he had three good gaits and had such an elastic way of moving through his whole body. I really liked that.” King got help introducing Drake to basic barn manners from Winterhaven owner and longtime friend Susan Treabess, a para-equestrian and FEI World Equestrian Games veteran. Dave Hillman, who now starts all Winterhaven’s young horses, gave the gelding his initial solid foundation under saddle. When the time came, King began training her young horse in dressage under Treabess’s tutelage, also taking clinics with international dressage coach Dennis Callin. In 2012, King took Drake to one show, earning a score of 81.5 percent in a Materiale class. And “in 2013 we really started showing, entering some Four-Year-Old and some Training Level classes, and qualified for the 2013 Region 7 Championships. There, in a really big class for the CDS [California Dressage Society] Four-Year-Old California-Bred Futurity, Drake ended up reserve champion. I’d always believed in his potential, but it was encouraging to see him starting to flourish on the show scene. The next year, he qualified for the Markel/USEF Young Horse National Championships for five-year-olds, though we decided against making the long trip” to the Illinois competition. This past spring and summer, Drake did eight Fourth

Level tests, most scoring above 70 percent. In November, he wound up his competitive season by moving up to Prix St. Georges, winning both classes he entered with scores in the high sixties. “He also earned me my [USDF] silver medal!” King exclaims. “Looking forward to the 2017 show season, I’d like to qualify him for the Markel/USEF Developing Horse Prix St. Georges National Championships.” Drake is “so smart,” King says. “He retains training information and knowledge; he’s always been that way. Teaching shoulder-in, for example, we’d get five strides, then drop the rein and move on to something else. Next day, he’d come out with an ‘I know how to do this’ attitude—and, even if his balance and strength weren’t quite there yet, go right into shoulder-in. “He thrives on being praised when he’s done something well; he holds onto it, and the next day he does it even a little better. He’s kind of an ‘interactive’ horse, giving a nice feel back to the rider when he understands what’s being asked.” (However, “he also reads people really well, then tries to see what he can get away with. Willy Arts told me a long time ago that ‘this will be a professional’s horse,’ and he was right!”) “Drake is the horse of a lifetime,” King says, “by far the most talented I’ve ever owned. I’d love to bring him out eventually as a Grand Prix horse, but the experience to this point has been so rewarding that I’m happy having had the opportunity to get to where we are now—and, given his strong personality, grateful that he has such a great attitude toward learning. “I feel incredibly thankful for everything Drake has taught me. I’ve enjoyed our journey thus far, and I hope it continues for years to come!” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Horizon

lizabeth “Betsy” Juliano got her first taste of dressage at a summer camp outside Cleveland that offered riding: “not a priority for my family, so I had to earn money to pay for my lessons.” She took dressage lessons but “had to stop riding and start making a living” when she reached adulthood. In 1984, Juliano founded a company that “provides litigation support—primarily medical knowledge—to firms defending products about which they’ve been sued.” A few years later, after she’d moved to a more rural area east of central Cleveland, “a neighbor I’d known since my riding days asked if I’d be interested in helping her with a horse she’d been rehabbing. That got me riding again.” In the late 1990s, Juliano bought a horse and soon found her love of dressage “reignited.” She went on to train with several well-known professionals, including current USDF president George Williams. Having acquired several dressage horses through Germany’s yearly PSI Auction in the 2000s, Juliano realized that her mounts were “well trained and ready for competition. But I wasn’t.” Accompanied by Williams to the 2010 PSI Auction, Juliano bought Horizon. “She was a three-year-old, and she had such talent that we always intended her career to be with a professional rider.” After Horizon arrived at Juliano’s farm in Wellington, FL, her new owner “got to know her a little, the grooms who help me got to know her a little, and George did, as well. Then he started riding her, competing successfully at shows including the Four-Year-Old division of the Young Horse finals at Dressage at Lamplight, the Wellington Dressage Nations Cup, and the First and Second Level tests at the 2012 Great American/USDF Region 2 Championships. “After that,” Juliano says, “Horizon didn’t compete much until early 2016, after we’d sent her to work with Debbie

McDonald’s protégée Adrienne Lyle.” At McDonald’s and Lyle’s home base in Idaho, McDonald rode Horizon, “saying the mare reminded her of her own legendary Brentina.” Paired with Lyle in 2016, Horizon “won every class” at the Markel/USEF Developing Horse Prix St. Georges Championship. “That was pretty astounding!” Juliano says. In 2017, Juliano says, “we hope to do a couple of national I-I classes with Horizon at the beginning of the Florida season and then, if all goes well, move into the CDI small tour.” “I really believe she has the talent for Grand Prix,” Lyle says of the mare. “She already does a nice piaffe and passage, and we’re working on the changes. Getting comfortable with the twos and the ones will take a little time, but we’ll keep working at them. And the CDIs will be a great stepping stone for getting into the big ring and into international competition. “Working on Horizon with Debbie’s input has been wonderful,” Lyle says. “She’s a real ‘mare whisperer’; being able to bounce opinions off her and get her perspective on challenges is great. “And Horizon comes out every day ready to go to work,” Lyle adds. “We focus three to four days a week on the ‘dressage stuff ’; then we go out hacking, go into the jump ring, or I get up into two-point and let her canter around the big field. We do lots of things to keep her happy and keep her brain engaged. She tries really hard, so giving her some fun time is part of the program.” Says Juliano: “I’ve known a number of good horses, but I’ve never seen another horse who so much wants to do the right thing. It has been—and still is—a source of tremendous joy to see and believe that this horse, God willing, can really be something special. I had that feeling when I first set eyes on Horizon in 2010, and it’s really fun to see her coming into her own.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Don Cartier

rider from “about age twelve,” Rachael Hicks evented through college and beyond until a relocation to south Florida, where cross-country courses were hard to find. So she switched emphasis “and found I really enjoyed the dressage. I’ve always been a detail-oriented person, and I took to it.” Hicks bought Don Cartier from his German breeder at age four. “Carter” “had very little training: just basic walktrot-canter, and I surprised myself by buying a stallion.” She thought about having him gelded before importing him, “but I thought we’d at least collect him a few times first.” However, “the logistics just didn’t work out in terms of trying to collect him and then make sure he wasn’t exhausted before putting him on a plane. So we imported him as a stallion, and I’m glad it worked out that way. “I have three kids”—nine-year-old twins and an elevenyear-old—“and I wouldn’t keep a horse here that might injure anybody. Carter may occasionally be a bit more opinionated than some geldings, but basically he’s fine to be around and to work with.” The stallion “has such beautiful gaits that for a long time everything came easily; he skated through training without ever having to work until about Third Level. Then, all of a sudden, at Prix St. Georges, we had a wake-up call that he’d have to try harder to do well at this level. “At about this time, I’d decided to spend winters in Wellington, and started working with Caroline Roffman, who’s based there. She’s the one who sounded that wake-up call, telling me that Carter ‘has gaits to die for, but he also has “pony gaits” that he’ll produce if you let him.’ She encouraged me to make him step up to the plate and use his ability all the way through the ride—to stay there and train within those bigger, more lofty gaits and extensions. “Carter fought the insistence that he work up to his abil-

ity. We had about a year of his trying everything he could think of to avoid working any harder. Basically, he does come in ready to work every day. However, he’s slow to warm up—so we have to sort of ease into the hard stuff and let him think it’s his idea. And I think he’s better off: He’s much stronger, his back is never sore, his joints are never sore, and he’s working in a really good way.” Hicks’s most satisfying 2016 experience was “at Lamplight (IL) in the Region 2 finals—the first big show I went to with lofty goals but without a trainer. I had to just take with me everything I knew about my horse and show him to the best of my ability. And I think we did really well. Carter was terrified in the first arena we went to, for a warm-up class: It was by a main road with a lot of traffic, and it seemed that every truck coming by used its air brakes. That night I had to go home and think about what happened, how to improve it, and how to come back the next day and win the championship class. And we did it! So I’m proud of that, and proud of Carter for trusting me, going in there again when I knew he was scared, and winning. That got us our ticket to the [US Dressage] Finals.” For the time being, Hicks plans to keep her horse at the I-I level to build his confidence. “Our challenge in showing is keeping his focus: We always win the warm-up, but getting him to carry into the show arena what we created in the warm-up is still a challenge.” Meanwhile, “We collected Carter last year and did an embryo transfer,” Hicks reports, “so now I have a filly by him and out of my super-nice mare.” The filly is promising enough that Hicks plans to take Carter to a stallion testing this summer. “I’ve been asked a lot about him, and I think there are plenty of people who’d enjoy a nice, compact little sports car like him.” —D.

©ANNAN HEPNER/PHELPS MEDIA GROUP

INTERMEDIATE II

anadian 2012 Olympic dressage competitor David Marcus was in Europe, preparing for the FEI 2014 World Equestrian Games (and looking for possible future mounts), when he found Binjora in a dealer’s barn. The gelding “was older than I expected I could buy, but not very far along in his training.” Still, “he felt like a horse that could fit me.” Assessing Binjora as “sensitive, but also secure and confident,” Marcus saw that the horse had three good gaits but was doing “a little bit of a lot of things and a lot of nothing. He had a ‘green’ flying change each way; he knew some lateral work and a little passage. And when I first saw him, he was quite asymmetrical. But I liked his type and I liked his brain. His conformation was great. He seemed like a really straightforward horse with a great ability to be trained. I knew we’d have a bit of a longer road ahead, but I felt that taking it would pay off—and was also my only way to afford a horse of his quality.” With help from his parents, Van and Judy, Marcus bought the horse; since then, Marcus has “done all the training on Binjora—mostly with my husband and business partner, Nicholas Fyffe,” also a Grand Prix-level rider. “This past year, 2016, was the first in which he’d ever shown,” Marcus says of his horse, “and the shows that brought him the Horse of the Year title are the only competitions I’ve ever done with him.” The pair “did go to one or two shows just to school him, but after that he was at home. I thought, ‘This is a really good horse. I’m going to

hide him, ride him, and bring him out when he’s good and ready.’ That was the plan; obviously, it worked.” Now he’s focusing ahead, anticipating that “it’ll be even more exciting to compete in the Grand Prix.” Marcus continues: “Binjora has exceeded all our expectations so far. At each competition, he’s gotten better. For him to do that at this level, being this green, has been really rewarding for me and for my family—because he’s the first horse we’ve had together at this level. My parents have supported me with other horses, but Binjora’s the first we’ve gone in on together with the goal of producing a top Grand Prix horse.” Key to continuing Binjora’s progress, Marcus says, is to “keep making things a little different. He’s a high-achieving horse; he gets bored doing the same thing every day. So I treat him like an athlete at the gym: One day we focus on throughness; one day, more on the canter; one day, more on the trot; and then one day maybe just long-lining and doing trotting poles on the grass. And he loves to hack, so most Sundays we’ll take him and maybe another horse and go down the road, along the canals, and around the neighborhood. I think part of what’s made him a good competitor is that we get off the property a lot. The longer I’m in this sport, the more I appreciate the importance of horses getting to explore and to do things for fun. “I want him to enjoy his job and be a partner to me for a long time,” Marcus says. “That takes patience.” —D.

GRAND PRIX

SHANNON BRINKMAN

Legolas

ooking toward the 2016 Rio Games, Four Winds Farm owner Akiko Yamazaki might have been hoping that her third time as an Olympic owner would be the charm. In 2006 she and husband Jerry Yang had bought Ravel as a US dressage prospect for the 2008 Games in Hong Kong; Ravel and rider/trainer Steffen Peters (who’d helped find the horse) finished just 0.3 percent short of a bronze medal. Four years later, at the London Olympics, the pair finished sixth in the Grand Prix and seventh in the Special. By then, Ravel was 14; after the Games, Yamazaki says, she and Peters concluded that “the stress of preparation for international competition was becoming too much. So we decided to retire him.” And so Legolas—selected by Peters and Yamazaki in 2011 as Ravel’s eventual successor—began “the road to Rio” in earnest. Highlights on that road for Legolas and Peters included winning the 2014 CDI3 in Verden, Germany; helping the US team place fourth at the 2014 FEI World Equestrian Games in Normandy; and earning team and individual gold at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. Of course, as Yamazaki points out, “An Olympic year is the culmination of everything you’ve been doing for the four years since the previous Olympics. And, given our success at the Pan Ams, the pressure everyone was feeling may have been even a little bigger. Fortunately, because Steffen is so experienced, I think that, in terms of training and keeping the horses happy and healthy, Legolas was exactly where he needed to be.” In Rio, the average of the top six teams’ three best scores from the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Special determined the team medals. Team USA—Peters and Legolas, Laura

Graves and Verdades, Allison Brock and Rosevelt, and Kasey Perry-Glass and Dublet—finished on a combined final score of 76.667 percent to win team bronze. It was US dressage’s first Olympic medal since Athens 2004. The journey home from Rio was “very joyous,” Yamazaki recalls. “It was truly gratifying to see that everybody’s hard work had paid off and the vision had carried forward from [US dressage chef d’équipe and technical advisor] Robert [Dover] through the riders and the support teams—and the USEF, the owners, the sponsors, everybody! And it’s exciting that our bronze-medal team included two younger riders, Allison and Kasey. That bodes well for the future.” But now the calendar reads 2017. So what plans do Yamazaki and Peters have for Legolas? Something different, says Yamazaki: “Dawn WhiteO’Connor, who’s worked with Steffen since her teens, and who was Ravel’s groom at the London Olympics, will be taking over the ride on Legolas and, we hope, getting international experience.” Unlike Ravel, who at fourteen was ready to retire, Legolas at fourteen is “a very healthy, energetic horse. We think he can maybe ‘give back a little’ by becoming a mount for a talented, up-and-coming rider.” (At press time, White-O’Connor and Legolas had indeed made their international debut, finishing second in the Las Vegas High Roller CDI-W in January. And the winner? That would be Peters and Legolas’s stablemate Rosamunde—also owned by Yamazaki—who trainer and owner are hoping will take them to their fourth Olympics together, in Tokyo 2020.) —D.

ANNUAL RECOGNITION

Youth Volunteer of the Year Sophia Chavonelle, the 2016 Youth Volunteer of the Year, is already a

standout in the USDF Region 8 dressage community as a rider, but her impact extends beyond her time in the saddle, and that’s what makes her a treasure in her region. Sophia consistently looks for ways to lend a hand, and her willingness to help, positive presence, and charisma are greatly appreciated by show management and competitors, as well as her mentors and peers. In addition to her equine-related volunteerism, Sophia is a volunteer “Teen Trendsetter” at Windham High School, reading to young grade school children. The USDF Youth Programs Committee selected Sophia based on her passion for both horses and dressage. The committee wholeheartedly commends Sophia for her dedication to dressage and the ability to be a positive role model for other youth, through exceptional volunteerism.

Soon after, she traveled back to Massachusetts to audit a USDF Jr/YR Clinic with Charlotte Bredahl-Baker. This was her first time attending USDF’s Annual Convention. Sarah was most looking forward to learning about what USDF has to offer and was excited to meet other passionate young riders from around the country.

Silver Medals that she earned with her Dressage4Kids lease horse, Rock Star, aka “Rose”. The pair was the Jr/ YR Fourth Level and Prix St Georges champions for Region 9 this year. Isabel also rides and competes on her quarter horse pony, Charlie Brown, through Second Level. Isabel has been actively involved with Dressage4Kids for the past three years and has learned to appreciate horsemanship and responsibility, in addition to riding ability. She balances time at the barn with a busy school schedule as well as keeping relationships with friends and family. Isabel hopes to become an equine vet and has spent time shadowing at local vet offices. She has great interest in applying the knowledge she will gain about horse anatomy and biomechanics to dressage riding. This was Isabel’s first USDF Convention and she enjoyed connecting with other youth dressage riders that share her passion.

mount Elzarma TF. Rebekah regularly volunteers at many different shows and events throughout the year and in 2015, she was honored to be the USDF Youth Volunteer of the Year. She was excited to be able to attend the USDF Convention this year to continue her education and share her passion for dressage with others. Katelyn Mosle, Springboro, OH, 16, will be moving to California to immerse herself in the high performance world as a working student. She is an active member of the Miami Valley Pony Club and holds her C3 Dressage

and HB certifications. In past years, she has served on the Youth Board of her club. Kate is also an active member of several local GMOs and the Emerging Dressage Athletes Program. She has earned valuable experiences from several of the USDF Youth programs, including the Jr/YR Clinics, Dressage Seat Medal Program, and Youth Regional Team Competitions. Kate’s involvement with these programs has inspired her to organize educational activities to encourage dressage participation among local riders. As a wonderful conclusion to her FEI Pony career, Kate competed her six year old homebred at the 2016 USEF Dressage Pony Rider Championships. Having shown at the FEI Junior level as well, she now has her sights set on the FEI Young Riders and NAJYRC.

Sixty-Something

It’s not a bad number, either in dressage or in life By Sandi Zarzycki

ably on the average side. Dressage scores in the seventies aren’t in the cards for us, and we don’t usually win our classes. Scores of 60-something percent seem to be our number. As a Quarter Horse owner, I can

earn awards from the American Quarter Horse Association. I’ve already received Register of Merit and multiple top-ten year-end awards, which are achieved by earning scores in the sixties or better. The AQHA converts scores from USEF-licensed/ USDF-recognized dressage competitions to AQHA points. The AQHA Amateur Select award is for riders over the age of 50. There are not many of us in the country, so if I get a few scores in the sixties I’ll be in the top ten. Then, of course, there are the USDF awards. To earn an All-Breeds award at Training through Fourth Level, I must earn eight or more scores in a competition year, with a median score of 60 or better. I usually only go to three shows a year, but some are run as two separate competitions on the same weekend, so I can still meet the four-show minimum requirement. Trying for my USDF bronze medal would be exciting. I have my First and Second Level scores, but I’d still need two scores of 60 or above at Third Level. Then, for the silver medal, I’d need scores at Fourth Level and Prix St. Georges. It’s taken me six years to get to Second Level; at that rate, I estimate that it would take Kelley and me 12 years to complete the silver. I’d be 76 and Kelley, 24. I’ll be getting my knees replaced by then, and I don’t want a different horse. I could get Kelley’s hocks injected. She can do a single flying change, but I’m not sure I can count those three- and four-tempis. Dream, plan, ride, try—that’s how I look at it. Whether a competition ends in success or in failure, I try to enjoy every ride, my friends, and my horse at the shows. When you’re 60-something, you never know how much longer you’ll be riding. s Sandi Zarzycki, of China, MI, was 20 when she bought her first horse. She became involved with reining, and when her reining trainer moved away she began taking dressage lessons.

He probably took twice as long as other horses to accomplish each level of training, but it's not just about the sport for me. It's about the journey. I was a little girl when I got Diddy, and he was a baby. We've grown up together. I'll probably never feel this way about another horse. We're so connected. I ride a lot of other horses, and I can't help but compare how they ride to riding Diddy. He's just amazing!
