Inside USDF Transitions and Changes of Pace USDF’s president reflects on the 2019 convention and her first year on the job

T

he 2019 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention in Savannah is now a part of our history. For those unable to attend, you missed a slew of productive committee meetings with people who share your passion, along with some excellent educational presentations. Most who attended managed to break away long enough to catch the quick ferry across the Savannah River to enjoy the sights, the sounds, and a few of the wonderful restaurants that make this Georgia city a great place to visit.

The short work week ended with a packed Salute Gala & Annual Awards Banquet, where we honored the 2019 Adequan®/USDF year-end and All-Breeds awards winners from every category; celebrated the medal-winning performances of the 2019 US Pan American Games dressage team members; and recognized the contributions of 2019 USDF Volunteer of the Year Kristi Wysocki, Youth Volunteer of the Year Ruby Tevis, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Fern Feldman, and Roemer Foundation/ USDF Hall of Fame inductees Jane Savoie and Axel Steiner.

What, you might ask, were my “takeaways” from the business meetings at my first convention as USDF president? For starters, I was rather disappointed to learn that you can “leave your test in the warm-up” even on the first day of the USDF Board of Governors (BOG) assembly! I thought I was well-prepared but found that I was really rather nervous about leading this important meeting. From my “view from the podium,” the agenda

MADAM PRESIDENT: Presiding at the 2019 USDF Board of Governors assembly during the Savannah convention

could have flowed like a nice, forward dressage test, but it felt “behind the leg” at times. Room for improvement in Omaha next time!

Our new USDF treasurer, on the other hand, did a great job.

Lorraine Musselman proved that an explanation of the organization’s $5.2 million budget, paired with and backed by an experienced staff that manages this nonprofit corporation’s business efficiently, can be clearly communicated.

USDF ended the calendar year with steady overall membership numbers—a feat, actually, as many other equestrian organizations are suffering as a result of dwindling time for and interest in volunteerism, and for making a commitment to organized sport.

USDF’s group-member organizations (GMOs) in particular are feeling challenged, and with too few exceptions, group-member (GM) growth is flat to negative.

We welcomed Bill Moroney, CEO of the US Equestrian Federation

6 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

(USEF), who came to the BOG assembly to speak about Safe Sport.

Beginning with an admission that the US Center for Safe Sport introduction (at the start of the federally mandated program) was handled poorly by USEF, he went on to say that USEF has retained a nationally recognized PR firm to help the organization to develop equestrianspecific educational materials for its members. USEF is absolutely committed to ensuring a safe community for all members.

The 2019 convention gave the USDF its first crack at USEF’s rulechange system. Although USDF is not the rule-making body for the sport of dressage, our organization now has greater opportunity to discuss proposals for rule changes (all available were posted on the USDF website, with advance notices sent to all BOG delegates) in real time, as the time of voting by the USEF has changed generally from January to midsummer, with rule changes taking effect on December 1, the first day of the new USEF competition year.

Several proposed rule changes of interest were discussed in Savannah. There were good discussions about a proposal from the Dressage Seat Equitation Task Force: to add saddle-pad numbers to make it easier for judges to identify competitors.

The BOG passed a motion based on a recommendation by the new USDF Rules Advisory Working Group: to propose a “redesign” to the way juniors and young riders CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

JENNIFER BYRANT

By Lisa Gorretta, USDF President

Ringside An Awesome Responsibility Dressage and horsemanship are matters of trust

to steer competitors through important USEF rules and rule changes in “The Judge’s Box” (page 28). She also offers advice on getting the most points possible in your dressage test.

The “Salute” column tips our collective hat to a USDF member who’s making a difference in the American dressage community, often as a behind-the-scenes unsung hero. Longtime US Dressage Finals volunteer coordinator Kathy Grisolia is surely deserving of a “Salute,” and you’ll find it on page 34.

Most USDF members don’t attend the USDF convention, but discussions and decisions that happen there may affect you. Get Lisa Gorretta’s take on her first convention as USDF president in her “Inside USDF” column on page 6; for my own convention recap and photos, see “Broadened Horizons” on page 64.

I’ll close this content rundown by mentioning our “Free Rein” column.

In “Free Rein,” we give respected experts representing various aspects of the US dressage community, well, free rein to weigh in on issues of the day. Our newest columnist makes his debut in this issue:

8 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

USDF-certified instructor/trainer Martin Kuhn (who’s also the trainer/ rider of 2019 Adequan®/USDF First and Second Level Dressage Horse of the Year Ronin), who will be contributing columns from the point of view of the rider, trainer, or competitor.

Martin uses the occasion of a personal loss to reflect on the attributes of a good dressage rider and horseman. Paramount, he believes, is a sense of responsibility and fairness toward the horse. Although as trainers we must occasionally stretch our horses’ limits in order to progress, he says, if we learn to listen to the horse, he will tell us when he is ready. Turn to page 32 to read more.

Martin hits on what I believe is the greatest challenge an equestrian faces: determining when to push, when to be happy with what the horse is giving you at the moment, and when to back off (and possibly call in the vet or other reinforcements). By and large, horses try to do what we ask. When a horse shows good submission (“willing cooperation”) as defined in the dressage rules, he is literally entrusting you with his body and mind. Guarding that trust is a huge responsibility and a tremendous privilege. If a horse has put his trust in you, you are a lucky rider indeed.

elcome to the 2019 yearbook issue of USDF Connection! Now that your USDF member magazine is published bimonthly, the yearbook has moved from its former February slot to March/April, the reason being that January/February deadlines are too early for key yearbook material: mini-features on the Adequan®/ USDF Dressage Horses of the Year; reports on the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® and the Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention; and, last but certainly not least, all of the wonderful photos of 2019 awards recipients. To all whose names, photos, or both appear in these pages, congratulations on your accomplishments!

Of course, the year’s award winners constitute only a relatively small portion of the entire USDF membership. Personally, unless my name is in the issue, I find paging through a magazine comprising only awards listings a ho-hum experience at best and a bit of a turnoff at worst—like, couldn’t they have thrown us also-rans a bone in terms of content?

In these pages, you’ll find much more than a mere bone. For all of you toiling away on the requirements of First Level—no small feat!—author, USDF-certified instructor, and The Dressage Foundation CEO Beth Baumert presents the next installment in her “through the levels” training series (“Clinic,” page 22), complete with some exercises I think you’ll find very helpful.

Inside USDF CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 in national levels (Intro through Fourth) are identified in dressage competition. This idea puts motion into the correct USEF rule-change language format, establishing two as-yet-unnamed class divisions: 1) through age 15 and 2) ages 16 through 21. These proposed age divisions would not apply to dressage-seat equitation classes.

Although the “youth divisions” proposal germinated in 2018 and was thoroughly discussed by a task force prior to introduction to and vote by the BOG, a second proposal went straight from a submitted 300-plus member petition, to a quick review by the USDF Executive Board, to a poll of the delegates. As a result of positive BOG feedback, a task force will be established early in 2020 to research the “opportunities and threats” of establishing two age groups for adult-amateur competitors. Once their work is reported to

the Executive Board, the governance member delegates along with the general USDF membership will be asked to weigh in on this question before we send it forward as a USDF proposed rule change for USEF/ USDF dressage competitions.

Along with some general housekeeping-type updates to the USDF bylaws, one proposal initiated by the USDF staff attracted a great deal of attention and emotion. The concept was to create a membership category to replace the existing “education membership” that has never quite reached anticipated potential since it was established several years ago. Staff proposed a “noncompeting membership” to help counteract the natural attrition of those participating members (PMs) who—usually because they do not plan to compete in the upcoming year—do not renew their PM status.

In business, this type of effort is referred to as a customer-retention program. And as those of you with

business experience know, it is far less expensive for an organization to retain existing customers than it is to cultivate new ones.

Although many BOG delegates seemed generally open to the concept of revamping the educationmembership category, the category’s proposed name proved that the answer to “What’s in a name?” is “a lot”! Both on and off the record, delegates clearly did not favor the “noncompeting” moniker, regarding the word as having demeaning overtones. Furthermore, GMO delegates felt that USDF should instead guide nonrenewing members to GMO membership (even though this was not the sentiment of the survey respondents).

With the “noncompeting membership” proposal defeated, the Executive Board and staff will go back to the proverbial drawing board, as the issue of PM retention remains an important one that USDF needs to address. USDF can cultivate

member perks, accessible educational programs, organizational support, and member-recognition opportunities for its group members (such as the new USDF Regional Schooling Show Awards program). Participating members tend to join USDF in order to pursue competition-based goals and to advance their passion for the sport. If a PM’s priorities change, USDF must find a way to provide that dressage enthusiast with enough value to maintain some form of membership, with appropriate reductions in cost and benefits.

Voting continued as the 2019 Board of Governors set the course for USDF governance at the regional and national levels.

Directors from Regions 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 ran unopposed. USDF secretary Margaret Freeman was reelected by acclamation. The single contested election—which was essentially forced when I became president in 2019 and vacated the vice president’s seat—was for the

VP position. The winner, Kevin Reinig of California, joined the USDF Executive Board January 1.

Although new to national office, Kevin brings experience from his past service as a GMO president (California Dressage Society) and as an active USDF committee member.

At the conclusion of the BOG assembly, we thanked interim USDF VP Terry Wilson, and outgoing longtime USDF Awards Committee chair Peggy Klump and Regional Championships Committee chair Joyce Hardesty for their years of service. In 2020, Amy Swerdlin and Janine Malone will take those reins, respectively. As always, I am hopeful that we will be able to call on our most experienced members for their service, even as I am committed to the principles of bringing on new blood, new talent, and fresh perspectives to lead USDF forward.

I consider this article to be the single most valuable and useful feature that I’ve read in any publication throughout 2019. Content, format, photographs, and communication were as close to ideal as I can imagine.

Please publish more training features of this caliber in USDF Connection. I would be delighted to read more articles by Gerhard Politz, such as “Preserve Your Young Horse’s Back,” about training a young horse from initial backing to showing in Training Level classes, and followups that target First and Second Level training.

I want to congratulate you on your excellent article (“The Saddle Shopper’s Resource Guide,” November/ December 2019). The insights offered were very informative, and the points made were very valid and something that everyone in the market for a saddle should take to heart.

Corrections

he placing of our January/ February 2020 cover horse, Jhocolate R, in the Markel/ USEF Five-Year-Old championship at the 2019 US Dressage Festival of Champions was reported incorrectly in that issue’s cover story, “Bringing up American-Bred Babies.” He was fifth.

And according to owner/rider Nadine Schwartsman, although at the time that issue went to press her horse was recorded with USEF and USDF as a stallion, he’s now a gelding.

In the same issue, we incorrectly reported Michelle King’s title with the Virginia Dressage Association (VADA) (“GMO: Put Your GMO on the Map with the GMO Education Initiative”). She is the vice president of VADA and a board member of VADA’s Northern chapter, known as VADA/NOVA.

Collection TRANSITIONS The great Verdades, who burst onto the international stage in 2014 and subsequently led the USA onto multiple medal podiums including Olympic Games, FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG), and FEI World Cup Dressage Finals, has been retired.

“It is a very new and very sad realization for me that this journey has reached its end,” Graves continued. “This horse not only achieved every goal we ever set, but he fulfilled dreams that I never knew I had.”

The Cinderella story of Graves,

SILVER WINGS: Verdades carried owner/rider Laura Graves to international heights including team and individual Grand Prix Special silver medals at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon (pictured)

Owner/rider Laura Graves announced “Diddy’s” retirement January 8 in an emotional post on her Facebook page.

“I’ve always promised that I would do my best to listen and make the right choice for him when this time came,” Graves wrote. “It became clear in recent weeks that he was not going to be able to return to his usual top form in 2020.”

now 32, and her powerhouse mount captivated both dressage spectators and the media during their six years at the top of the sport. Purchased in the Netherlands as a foal by Graves’s mother, Freddie Graves, the 2002 KWPN gelding (Florett As – Liwilarda, Goya) proved a handful for young Laura, who broke her back in a 2009 fall from her talented but hot and spooky horse.

16 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

In 2011, Verdades broke his jaw in an accident in his stall and required extensive surgery. In a low moment during their journey Graves put the horse on the market, with plans to abandon her high-performance dressage dreams. But “Diddy” didn’t sell and Graves doubled down, moving to Florida from her home state of Vermont to gain access to more and better training.

The pair amassed local, regional, and national wins (they were the Intermediate II open champions at the inaugural US Dressage Finals, in 2013) before they became an “overnight success.” Graves and Verdades were still practically unknown when they placed second at the 2014 US WEG dressage qualifying competition, thus earning a spot on the team for Normandy.

They then proceeded to stun the world by finishing fifth individually, the highest-scoring US pair at those Games.

From that point forward, Graves and Verdades were the brightest stars in US dressage. Among their other major achievements were team and individual Grand Prix Special silver medals at the 2018 FEI WEG in Tryon, North Carolina; team bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games; three silver medals in a row at the 2017, 2018, and 2019 FEI World Cup Dressage Finals; and team gold and individual silver at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.

Verdades’ retirement leaves the Danish Warmblood gelding Goerklintgaards Dublet and rider Kasey Perry-Glass—frequent teammates of Graves and Verdades—in the potential anchor position going into this summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. The experienced “Dublet,” who will be 17 at the time of the 2020 Olympics, is only one year younger than Verdades.

OBITUARY Verne Batchelder

FEI to Mandate Helmet Use Beginning January 1, 2021, all riders in Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) competition must wear protective headgear while riding anywhere on the show grounds. FEI delegates voted to approve the change to FEI Article 140 at the 2019 FEI General Assembly in Moscow in November.

Riders may remove their helmets only if their sports’ rules permit it during such ceremonies as prizegiving and during the playing of national anthems.

Traditionally cowboy-hatted reining competitors must abide by the new rule in FEI competition, as well, but helmet use is not mandated for vaulters.

JENNIFER BRYANT; FEI/LIZ GREGG

Herning, Denmark, will host the 2022 FEI World Championships in the disciplines of dressage, paradressage, jumping, and vaulting, the FEI announced in November during its 2019 General Assembly in Moscow. The competitions will be held August 6-14.

After the conclusion of the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games—since 1990, the quadrennial WEG has featured all FEI disciplines at a single championships event—the FEI announced its intention to entertain multi-host-city bids for future world championships.

The 2022 eventing and driving

World Championships will be held in September in Pratoni del Vivaro, Italy.

As of the 2019 General Assembly, the FEI board had not yet made a decision regarding World Championships in endurance and reining.

Leipzig, Germany, which hosted the FEI World Cup Jumping, Dressage, Driving, and Vaulting Finals in 2011, will do so again April 6-10, 2022. In 2023, the World Cup Jumping and Dressage Finals will return to Omaha, Nebraska, April 12-16. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was awarded the 2024 World Cup Jumping and Dressage Finals, with exact dates to be determined.

Dressage trainer and sport-horse breeder Verne Batchelder, co-owner of River House Hanoverians, died of a heart attack October 20, 2019. He was 66.

A longtime math and science teacher, Batchelder also rode horses and bred Holstein cattle.

With his wife, fellow equestrian and now dressage professional Jeanie Hahn, he sold the cattle in the late 1980s and bought a farm in Piermont, New Hampshire. The couple was breeding Thoroughbreds for eventing when Hahn became more interested in dressage, and subsequently Batchelder decided to pursue the nascent US field of warmblood breeding. He traveled to Germany to learn and began buying Hanoverians from breeders and auctions there. The New Hampshire farm was christened River House Hanoverians, and Batchelder amassed a broodmare band and stood the stallions Maronjo (by Mahon) and Bretone (by Brentano II), in addition to producing many successful homebred sport horses.

In 2013 Batchelder and Hahn moved their operation to Williston, Florida, near Ocala.

Batchelder was a USDF bronze and silver medalist, a popular dressage clinician, and an American Hanoverian Society breedinspection judge.

Besides his wife, Batchelder is survived by daughters Emma Batchelder and Nora Batchelder.

Nora Batchelder, who followed in her parents’ footsteps by becoming a dressage professional, was a member of the silver-medal-winning US dressage team at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. Her Pan Am Games mount, Faro SQF, is the offspring of dam SPS Rose (Rotspon x World Cup I), whom Verne Batchelder imported.

Job title: Florida regional sales manager, Triple Crown Nutrition (official feed sponsor of US Equestrian), West Palm Beach, Florida (triplecrownfeed.com) What I do: During the [winter] season, I’m down in Wellington almost five days a week, working directly with at least a dozen riders.

You have to have a personal rapport because they have to trust you. I basically handle the horses’ diets.

Off season, that’s when I see my stores—over a hundred in Florida.

How I got started: I had a very bad accident with a horse on an airplane, making it physically impossible to continue my job with [Florida-based dressage pro] Arlene “Tuny” Page. I had an opportunity with a feed company that wanted to start a feed line in the United States.

It didn’t work out. Triple Crown was looking for somebody. I’ve been with them for 10 years.

Best thing about my job: When you pull up and they’re happy to see you because everything’s going great for them.

Worst thing about my job: Traveling.

My horses: My wife has an upper-level dressage horse. I ride very little. I have one surgery left.

Once I get an all-clear, I’m probably going to start riding my horse again, even if it’s trail.

Tip: Do your research.

ANIMAL WELFARE Animal Anti-Cruelty Act Becomes Law The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act—the first US federal anti-animal-cruelty law— was signed into law by President Donald J. Trump November 25, 2019.

The PACT Act (HR 724) “will allow federal authorities to crack down on the most egregious of animal abusers and help keep American pets safe from harm,” Animal Wellness Action executive director Marty Irby stated in a press release announcing the law’s enactment.

The new law prohibits extreme acts of cruelty when they occur in interstate commerce or on federal property. Although previous existing federal laws ban the sale of so-called animal-crush videos showing illegal acts of animal cruelty, they did not explicitly prohibit the actual conduct.

dressage training (see illustration at right). The movement that proves or disproves the quality of your horse’s impulsion is his ability to lengthen his stride. It is thrust or pushing power that enables the First Level horse to lengthen his stride (and his frame), first on the short diagonal in trot, then down the long side of the arena in canter, and finally on the long diagonal in trot.

(Of course, the often-unstated implication is that you can also shorten the stride at the end of a lengthening.

That’s sometimes the more challenging part of the equation!)

Your Hips Call the Shots

SHOULDER-FORE: By positioning your horse’s narrower forehand slightly to the inside of his wider hindquarters, as Emily Smith is doing aboard her 13-year-old Hanoverian gelding, Dublin, you actually are riding him straight

Before we even start talking about how to ride a lengthening, let’s look at the most common problem with this movement because virtually every horse has it: The strides get faster instead of longer.

Make this clear distinction in your mind: You want longer strides, not faster ones. If you get a faster stride, your horse will “fall” onto the forehand and it will be hard to stop him because he will have disengaged his hindquarters.

What causes the strides to quicken? First, horses are naturally inclined to use their front legs more than their hindquarters. Second, riders tend to increase the tempo of their hip motion when they ask for a lengthening—which asks the horse to go faster instead of to lengthen.

The movements of your seat need to reflect what you want—a big, slow stride. Add scope, not speed, to your

hips in the rising or sitting trot. The same is true in canter. Imagine that you’re going to lengthen slowly. It takes longer to make a big step than a small one.

Because your horse will be inclined to speed up rather than to lengthen, try to do the opposite: Slow the tempo of the lengthening; then increase the tempo of the

The Purpose of First Level

t First Level, you’ll find a few new requirements: smaller circles with more bend, lengthening of stride in trot and canter, leg-yield, and countercanter. First Level is the point in your horse’s training where judges want to see evidence of impulsion.

Impulsion (defined in dressage as thrust or pushing power) is the fourth element of the pyramid of

shortened strides at the end of the line. You actually want both tempos to be the same, and that’s probably what you’ll get if you try to influence your horse to do the opposite of his inclination.

It’s very difficult to ride forward in a downward transition to a shorter stride, but that is what you must do. Treat the transition from lengthening back to the working gait it as if it were an upward transition, and bring those hindquarters with you as you shorten the stride.

In First Level Test 1, after a canter lengthening on the long side (H-V or M-P) comes a 15-meter circle; use that circle to help you shorten the stride. Push into your steady hand in shoulder-fore (see “Balance with Shoulder-Fore” below), and your horse will learn to come back to you in a fluid way. Whether in trot or canter, you’ll be successful if you start out with a small lengthening and a small shortening. Then, when your horse is ready, graduate to a medium-sized lengthening. You can see where this is going. Soon it will be more than sufficient—maybe even great!

JENNIFER BRYANT

Balance with Shoulder-Fore Next on your list of required qualities, according to the purpose of First Level, is improved balance.

In the last issue, we talked about half-halts, transitions, and stretching for longitudinal balance. Now it’s time to develop shoulder-fore for lateral (left-to-right and right-toleft) balance.

Shoulder-fore (pictured in the photo on page 22) isn’t exactly an “exercise,” because it is simply riding straight. You should ride in shoulder-fore all the time. If you don’t do so already, it will revolutionize your riding!

Straightness in shoulder-fore will be easiest to achieve if you can ride toward a mirror, but most riders don’t have that luxury. If you’re of that majority, get someone to watch and give you verbal feedback, or

TROT LENGTHENING: Adult-amateur competitor Jill Starliper rides a First Level trot lengthening aboard her Dutch Warmblood gelding, Utopian. In a good lengthening, the horse demonstrates impulsion by lengthening his strides and his frame without the steps’ becoming quicker. Although modest, Utopian demonstrates the essential reach through his neck, forehand, and hindquarters.

Are You Prepared for First Level?

A

s you strive to meet the requirements of First Level (see “The Purpose of First Level” on the previous page), you need to first confirm that your horse “demonstrates correct basics” and has met the requirements of Training Level. Let’s review all the skills and qualities that represent those basics. By now, there are quite a few!

At Introductory Level, you and your horse worked to develop: • An elastic contact • Independent, steady hands and a correct balanced seat • Proper geometry of figures in the arena • Correct bend.

At Training Level, you became even more sophisticated about those skills. As a result, it was possible for you to excel at Training Level, during which time the following qualities evolved: • Your horse is now more relaxed and supple.

• He moves freely forward…

• …in a clear rhythm…

• …with a steady tempo…

• …accepting contact with the bit.

In the previous installment of this series (January/February), we also looked at three skills that help you in acquiring and retaining the basics.

Half-halts, transitions, and stretching improve longitudinal suppleness as well as your horse’s commitment to “reaching” toward the bit.

If you’re overwhelmed, that’s understandable, and it’s the reason that so many riders cut corners and move on before they’re ready. But here’s the good news: These mental and physical demands never change. The requirements of the lower levels are exactly the same as those of the upper levels. These are the basics that you need to confirm here and now, and they will serve you well forever. As the rider, you need to be aware of these basics all the time—not in a critical way, but in a monitoring and helpful way. You’ll be working diligently to improve the basics for the rest of your dressage career, so learn to love it!

Review those half-halt, transition, and stretching skills, and keep them in mind as we look at the primary challenge of First Level: the development of impulsion.

The primary aids for shoulderfore are inside leg and outside rein.

The secondary aids are outside leg and inside rein. Keep your seat and torso square in the center. Here’s what you want to see from directly in front or behind you: • Very slight flexion of your horse’s poll to the inside (no bend in the neck, and no angle to the body). Remember, shoulder-fore is straight—meaning that your horse’s body remains parallel to the long side of the arena.

Leg-Yield and Counter-Canter The First Level tests require legyield in trot as well as counter-canter, which is canter on the “wrong” lead. Why? Once again, to develop and demonstrate “improved balance and throughness” as well as a “more consistent contact to the bit.”

Leg-yield teaches your horse to move sideways away from your inside leg into a nice contact with your outside rein. Flex his poll very

directly behind the outside fore.

• His inside hind should step between the tracks of his two front legs—directly under your seat and under his center of gravity.

If you have trouble with shoulder-fore, take heart. Start in walk, and keep trying. Don’t give up, because you’ll need to love doing this for the rest of your dressage career.

Even if you haven’t yet achieved perfect alignment in the walk, try riding shoulder-fore in trot; sometimes the momentum makes the positioning easier. When you get it, your horse will actually help you maintain it because he loves to be balanced.

You, the rider, are in charge of your horse’s balance and rhythm.

As you challenge him with more difficult exercises, he’ll get crooked, but a horse that can easily return to shoulder-fore is a straight horse with “more consistent contact with the bit”—another part of the purpose of First Level.

Now that your horse can be balanced longitudinally and laterally, here’s an exercise to develop his impulsion.

Try this: Utilize the RSVP letters in this exercise. Start in working trot on the long side of the arena.

• Ride shoulder-fore on the right rein from R to P. Feel for your horse’s swinging back in the working trot.

• At P, ride a half-20-meter circle, asking him to lengthen his stride by increasing the scope of your hip motion. Keep the tempo the same as it was on the long side.

If you don’t increase the length of the stride by much, that’s OK for now. It will improve.

• When you get to V, go straight again in shoulder-fore.

• At S, ride a half-20-meter circle, asking your horse to stretch.

• Repeat. Then change directions and repeat the exercise on the left rein.

The combination of lengthening, stretching, and shoulder-fore will

slightly to the right (no bend!) for leg-yield left, and vice versa. More sideways is not better. The point of the exercise is to develop improved contact, balance, and throughness, all of which happen on a shallow line. Ride from point A to point B as required in the test and you’ll get it right. Use your eyes to maintain your line of travel. The quality of the trot should not diminish. If your horse’s body remains parallel to the long side during the leg-yield, he will demonstrate what dressage judges call the essence of the movement, which is the crossing of his legs. In First Level Test 3, be sure that your leg-yields take you to

ransitions. Now that you’ve graduated to First Level, transitions on the center line go from trot directly to halt, with no walk steps. This crisper transition will help connect your horse from back to front in the downward transition and develop that desirable thrust (impulsion) in the upward transition.

Half-halts. Along with transitions, half-halts are your means of obtaining and retaining your horse’s longitudinal balance. Most riders need a refresher on how to execute those, so review my November/December 2019 “Clinic” article on Training Level. Of course, half-halts and transitions become even more important as you develop your horse through the levels.

Geometry. Every time you allow your horse to determine the line of travel instead of you, he loses his balance. Focus on the desired line of travel. On the center line, look at C and be sure that A is directly behind you. Let your eyes guide you throughout the entire test.

Clinic the center line, or the subsequent 10-meter circles won’t be the right size. That geometry error will compromise two scores, not just one!

Counter-canter, first required in Test 3, is a wonderful straightening exercise. It will improve your horse’s balance and throughness, and the First Level version (see illustration at right) is quite inviting. The judge looks for the quality and regularity of the canter, the shape and size of the loop, the horse’s positioning, and the balance.

ing leg, and ride the canter exactly the same way in both directions.

As you prepare for the countercanter loop in Test 3, you can make it even more inviting to your horse by making the line very shallow and not going all the way to X. Gradually, when your horse understands, you can make the loop as it is required in the test.

Progress Check Here’s a self-test you can use to assess your horse’s gymnastic development as you work at First Level: When you add impulsion successfully, his rhythm improves and becomes more cadenced. Keep an eye out for that.

The accomplished First Level horse is poised for success at Second Level because the power—the impulsion—generated gives you something to “collect”—which is the new goal!

Riders often make countercanter overly difficult by riding it differently from the true-lead canter.

You’ll have remarkable success if you’re able to ride left- and rightlead canter exactly the same, regardless of whether you are tracking left or right. It’s common for riders to overbend the horse’s neck in the direction of the leading leg in the counter-canter; this mistake causes crookedness and makes the horse hobble around instead of retaining the quality and regularity of the gait.

Another common mistake is to sit on the wrong seat bone and to exaggerate the leg placement. Keep your horse straight in shoulder-fore with only slight flexion toward the lead-

n this article, you’ll learn some key ways to increase (or reduce, if you’re not careful!) your dressage score, based on my 32 years as a dressage judge. Overall, my goals are to ensure that you know the new rules that went into effect for 2020, and that you know how to avoid the pet peeves all judges have.

tion or FEI-recognized competition or “open” dressage class at a Federation-licensed competition.

(Note: The score required for all levels was 63% in 2019; but effective December 1, 2019, the required score for FEI levels dropped to 60%.)

(DR129.9)

Know the Judges’ Pet Peeves To ensure that you and your horse achieve the highest score possible: Be prepared. Study the directive ideas, which are printed at the top of all national-level test sheets. The directives begin with the purpose of the test.

For instance, in Training Level, the purpose of the tests is to “confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, is supple, and moves freely forward in a clear rhythm with a steady tempo, accepting the contact with the bit.”

Dressage judges assume that you are well prepared in terms of the basic requirements for the level before you come down the center line. For instance, at the canter, you must be

able to show both leads easily and in balance. FEI 5* dressage judge and USDF L program faculty member Janet Foy tells a now-infamous and hilarious story concerning basic requirements. In the 1990s she was on a panel judging a young girl at Training Level. The test was going fairly well until the rider asked for the left-lead canter without success. When the rider failed to correct the error, Janet rang the bell. The girl stopped, turned to Janet, and said, “Oh, my horse has not taken the left lead in ten years!”

Be secure with the criteria for the test you plan to ride. It is baffling to many judges that a rider will enter a show before the required elements are fairly well confirmed. If your horse cannot perform a single flying change that is straight, “through,” and clearly balanced at home in schooling, please don’t “practice” them in the show arena. I have seen riders walk through the entire piaffe-passage tour of the Grand Prix test. Scores will reflect this lack of preparation. [

JJ Tate at Yellowbird Farm

 Horses may enter no more than two consecutive levels, freestyle levels included (DR 119.2-3).

If through management or other error a horse competes in more than two levels at a competition, the level(s) competed in first that are in compliance with DR 119 will count for purposes of scores and awards.

Levels competed subsequently that are outside the two-consecutive-level requirement will result in elimination, and awards for those classes must be returned. (DR 124.4)  Except for USEF/USDF championship classes and for FEI Pony riders, FEI Juniors, FEI Young Riders, and FEI para-equestrian freestyles, in order to enter a freestyle class at any level, a horse/rider combination must have received a minimum score of 63% (Training through Fourth Levels) or 60% (FEI levels) at the highest test of the declared freestyle level or any test of a higher level at a USEF/ USDF-licensed dressage competi-

The Judge’s Box Remember: No coaching—ever!

Coaching is coaching, regardless of whether you are the rider’s parent, trainer, or friend. Many years ago, while I was judging a First Level test, a woman came up behind the judge’s box and shouted, “Good job, Kimberly! Oh, that’s so good! Keep the bend! Sit up! Fantastic circle.

You’re going to win!” I had no choice but to ring the bell and explain to the spectator that coaching was not allowed. She walked directly into the judge’s box and screamed, “I’m not her coach; I’m her mother!”

Learn to ride with an independent seat and hands to fulfill dressage’s potential as a beautiful, artistic, and mesmerizing sport. Without this independence, there can be no harmonious connection between rider and horse, and the beauty of our sport is lost. Without this connection, a dressage test becomes a five-minute conflict between horse and rider. If the rider is going against the mechanics of the gaits and is kicking and

pulling (usually at the same time), we judges tend to feel sorry for the horse, and this conflict can occasionally be so severe as to border on abuse. Obviously, this failure of connection is a very easy way to lose points throughout the test and in the collective marks.

Nail the Halt Your initial entrance down center line can be impactful in a very positive way. The halt can be a highscoring movement when it is ridden correctly and in balance, and it does not require fancy gaits to score well.

I have seen varying degrees of crooked, frantic entries, followed by abrupt halts that never are straight, immobile, or stabilized—all difficulties that will be reflected in lower scores. The rider must be sure that the horse stays straight on the center line. The horse should be attentive, motionless, and on the aids.

In our USDF L program faculty discussions, we all agree that a halt that is not perfectly square can still earn

30 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

a “fairly good” or higher score. If the rider guides the horse in a soft, round connection that remains immobile for three seconds, you can start and finish your test with quite good scores.

Partnership Pays Off You can increase your dressage score if you put in the time required to know the rules, know your horse, and understand the key attributes of harmony and connection that judges value. Most important, remember that horses are intelligent and emotional creatures, and they go in response to how we ride them. Ride with respect, dedication, and affection, and you and your horse will reap the rewards.

conformation—and made each of them better than they were when she started.

That’s the simple goal, but often challenging task, put to every rider: to improve on a horse’s natural talents. In some cases, these talents may seem to extend little past eating and sleeping! But even a conformationally challenged horse can go far with good, patient training.

FINDING THE JOY: The late dressage trainer Amanda Johnson was known for her sheer delight in horses and riding—a quality worth emulating

sage.” As fond memories of my friend slowly replace the pang of losing her, my thoughts turn to what it means to be a “paragon of everything a good dressage rider should be.”

Mandy would be the first to admit that she was no saint, but she would have to agree that she took what she had—horses of varying quality, and sometimes of deficient

Conversely, even the most gifted horse may not excel if it lacks the self-drive to push beyond what is comfortable or easy.

A good trainer and horseman always puts the horse first, but the rider’s job is to ask for more—a little more—than the horse thinks possible. Just as with raising children, this will mean asking them to do

32 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

more than they want to do. (After all, without a grain of sand to act as an irritant, an oyster never makes a pearl. If we’re fortunate and live long enough, they—horses or children—will at some point thank us.)

Progress does not happen in a vacuum. The best riders in the world never think that they are too good to take instruction or that they have nothing left to improve. If they are struggling with something, they are quick to seek help.

Ego is the enemy of progress. The model dressage rider should have no ego to get in the way. Constructive criticism is the nourishment that leads to betterment. The pursuit of knowledge and improvement always outweighs the risk of embarrassment for making a mistake. The moment we have more to lose by trying, we most certainly are done.

A model rider never stops learning and doesn’t care where a good idea comes from. Sometimes a common phrase, heard a thousand times before, if said at the right moment is enough to “click” and produce a newfound understanding.

Mistakes are inevitable. They are painful but our best, most memorable teachers. If you learn from your mistakes, you’re never a failure.

A rider sees a mistake as a chance to learn—eventually. Ultimately, we owe our improvements more to our mistakes than to our successes.

At Mandy’s memorial, it was said that having big dreams means having an even bigger work ethic.

A work ethic requires patience and trust that the system will produce results. In my young-rider days, my instructors told me that I needed to be patient. The older I get, the more that advice resonates. I’m finally old enough to understand that I don’t

have the time to take shortcuts.

A model rider knows that achieving success doesn’t require that someone else fails. We’re not suddenly more competent riders because a fellow competitor had an off day.

Success can be defined only by people who see the whole. Judges can score only what they see. For a horse or rider previously stymied by fear, to give a common example, putting in a clean test is a monumental accomplishment, even if the score doesn’t reflect the immensity of the progress.

Not having an ego doesn’t mean you can’t take pride in your accomplishments. Just make sure that your pride stems from the right places.

It can’t come solely from outside judgment. If you’ve done your job right, no one on the outside will ever know how far that horse has come.

Personal victories are, by definition, private ones. My own biggest successes are things that no one—some-

times even the horse’s owner or the student—would think particularly laudable, but I can take pride in knowing how far they’ve come.

A rider knows that, more times than not, you’re riding to make tomorrow’s ride better. Tomorrow will come, usually sooner than you think you’re ready, in the form of a competition or an exhibition.

A rider, at any stage, loves the process. Loving the process is the reward for long, hard days and short nights. A rider can’t help but love the process.

Most important, the model rider listens to the horse. The horse will always tell you what needs to be done next, what he’s ready for, and what he’s ready to try. And it doesn’t hurt to do it joyfully, with an infectious and irrepressible smile and laughter, regardless of social convention, the way Mandy did.

Salute A Familiar Friendly Face From volunteering at local shows to working at the US Dressage Finals, Kathy Grisolia has given a lifetime of service to the sport of dressage

By Jennifer M. Keeler

VIP VOLUNTEER: Kathy Grisolia on the job at the 2020 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival in Florida

“When I first I heard of the Finals, I knew I wanted to be a part of it,” Grisolia says. “Roped in” (as she puts it) to assist Finals event coordinator Debra Reinhardt in 2013, the competition’s inaugural year, Grisolia—already a well-known dressage competition manager with a diverse background in the sport—ascended through the volunteer ranks to become the Finals volunteer coordinator, responsible for recruiting and managing all manner of helpers, from scribes to ring stewards, for the fourday championships at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.

USDF president Lisa Gorretta calls Grisolia “awesome,” pointing to her prowess at managing the nearly 100 Finals volunteers. FEI-level rider/ trainer, FEI dressage judge, and former USEF national dressage technical advisor Anne Gribbons, whose Knoll Farm on New York’s Long Island Grisolia managed for nearly a decade in the 1990s, says that “a more honest, dedicated, and yet fun-to-be-with person is very rare to find.”

A Dream Delayed Unlike many prominent names in dressage, Grisolia didn’t own a horse or even ride as a child. Growing up in the Long Island town of Levittown, horse books and the occasional pony ride were as close as she got.

“No one in my family had any involvement with horses,” she says, “but I always loved them and my mother couldn’t figure out why. I attribute it to my Irish heritage,” she laughs.

In the late 1970s, when Grisolia was a high-school senior, “my mother was not happy because I didn’t want to go to college,” she says. Undeterred, “I went to my guidance counselor and said in no uncertain terms that I wanted to do something with horses.

He did some research and found a co-op program with the International School of Harness Racing at [the nowshuttered Long Island harness track] Roosevelt Raceway. So I went to class in the morning, and every afternoon and on weekends I went to the track.”

The harness-racing program was Grisolia’s entrée to the horse industry. Soon she found herself traveling the country to various tracks and even competing on the prestigious Grand Circuit of US harness races.

But the nomadic lifestyle took its toll.

34 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

“Winters have always been my nemesis,” Grisolia says, “and I kept getting bad frostbite in my hands, from which I still have problems to this day. Also, there were times you were on the road all the time and you’d end up sleeping in the barns… I just reached a point where I thought maybe it was time for a change in my life, even though I did want to stay involved with horses.”

Seeking a change of pace and the ability to stay closer to home, Grisolia took a job mucking stalls at Knoll Farm, where Gribbons and her husband, David, spent 35 years training horses and riders, hosting shows, and running a busy boarding and breeding operation.

After a while, the Gribbonses “asked me to help teach students who were competing in the Special Olympics,” Grisolia says. “It became my project for a few years, and I really enjoyed teaching. I began riding there too, and of course I got to watch Anne ride all the time, but I wasn’t really focused on dressage.

One day a friend wanted to take a semi-private dressage lesson and needed someone to join her. She kept insisting, so finally I relented and tried it. And that was it: I was hooked!”

Discovering Dressage In pursuit of her newfound passion, Grisolia kept working her way up and improving her dressage skills. She finally purchased her first horse, an imported Polish Trakehner named Automatic Pilot (“which is not at all what he was!” she laughs), and progressed to competition at Third Level. Professionally, she became the main stallion handler for Knoll

ith national-championship titles on the line, dressage competitors brave long drives and mercurial November weather to take part in the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®. At the same time, an army of dedicated volunteers endures long days and everything Mother Nature dishes out for no reward other than the satisfaction of giving back to the sport they love. And spearheading the army is Kathryn “Kathy” Grisolia, of Versailles, Kentucky.

Farm’s breeding program, then was promoted to overall farm manager.

It was at Knoll Farm where Grisolia was introduced to everything that goes on behind the scenes at a dressage competition.

“We used to hold three-ring, twoday dressage shows at the farm, so I started helping out the secretary,” she says. “She taught me about entry processing, and this was in the days when everything was done by hand.

She was just about to teach me how to actually schedule the show when she got sick and ended up in the hospital.

So everything was handed to me. Talk about jumping right into the deep end of the pool! Somehow I pulled it off.

I don’t know how I did it—plus I still rode in the show myself!”

But once again winter weather became the impetus for change. “One year we had an epic snowstorm, and I said to David [Gribbons] that that winter was going to be my last one spent outside,” Grisolia says. “My husband, Lou, and I moved to Amityville, New York. I got an ‘inside’ job with a pulmonary doctor and spent the next 17 years there.”

Staying Involved Even with her new non-equine career, Grisolia found a way to stay connected to horses, even as her own riding endeavors wound down. Through activities as a member of her local USDF group-member organization (GMO), Grisolia met Connecticut-based show manager (now also USDF Region 8 director) Debra Reinhardt and began volunteering at her show at the Ox Ridge Hunt Club in Darien, Connecticut, an effort that she continued when the competition moved to its current home at the HITS-on-the-Hudson grounds in Saugerties, New York.

“I got into the scoring for several large shows,” Grisolia says, “and was still doing secretarial work for smaller ones like Westbrook Hunt Club [Connecticut], taking over as other people left. It was Debra who really encouraged me to push myself a little—to step out of my comfortable little bub-

ble and take on new projects.” To that end, Grisolia began scoring at Lendon Gray’s Dressage4Kids Youth Dressage Festival in Saugerties, later became co-secretary, and returns every year to help make that event possible.

Big-Time Shows Now a Level 5 competition manager with US Equestrian, Grisolia has become a familiar face at dressage shows across the country. In 2015, she and Lou left New York to join his family; all now live in central Kentucky on a Thoroughbred horse farm.

Naturally, she began volunteering with Kentucky Dressage Association shows and served as co-manager for the Great American/USDF Region 2 Championships at the Kentucky Horse Park. Grisolia also met professional show manager and secretary Sandy Donovan, and soon Donovan was recruiting her to help out with shows in Region 3. Grisolia’s current lineup of gigs includes two shows in Tennessee, two shows in South Carolina, and several shows in Houston.

The dressage community is a tight-knit one, and Grisolia’s name got around quickly.

“Working with Debra [Reinhardt], I also learned how to run sporthorse-breeding shows,” Grisolia says.

“Through that I got to know [breeding-show chair] Melanie Sloyer and [president/CEO] Lori Kaminski from Dressage at Devon [Pennsylvania], so I started helping out there, too. Then, all of a sudden, I found myself as the breed-show secretary for the last two years. Last year I also worked a few shows in Wellington [Florida] with [professional show secretary] Monica Fitzgerald and really liked it. Then my husband decided that this year we would spend the season in Florida, so I’ll be working there again, too. I am finally achieving my dream of escaping winter entirely!”

The Project She’s Most Proud Of Of all the competitions at which Grisolia works or volunteers, the US Dressage Finals, she says, remain

the nearest and dearest to her heart.

“It’s hard for me to not get emotional talking about our volunteer team,” she says, “because everyone is so dedicated and we’ve become such a family. Every single person wants to be there; they never complain, even when it’s miserable outside; and most of them come back year after year like it’s a big family reunion.

“Everyone knows that the Finals are so special that—even if you’re just a pooper scooper in the Alltech Arena—you’re an intimate part of such an incredible event, and we all feel it. It’s an honor to be there every year, and I couldn’t be prouder of my team. We couldn’t do it without them!”

We couldn’t do it without Grisolia, either, and so we salute her tireless efforts on behalf of dressage in the US.

New for 2019 were fun awards for the best GMO baskets in three categories. USDF Group Member Organizations Committee members in attendance at the convention selected the winning gift baskets, which in a cherished tradition are donated by the various USDF GMOs and awarded as door prizes during the BOG assembly.

North Woods Dressage Association member Jessica Foschi, of

Mountain Iron, Minnesota, was the 2019 recipient of the Ruth Arvanette Memorial Fund grant. This annual grant helps a deserving group member to attend convention and take important learning and contacts back to his or her GMO. The grant honors the late USDF employee Ruth Arvanette, who was instrumental in many USDF programs and who hoped that USDF group members would attend convention and take home to their GMOs new and useful information.

ARVANETTE GRANT WINNER: 2019 recipient Jessica Foschi of the North Woods Dressage Association

Also recognized during the BOG assembly were five GMOs that reached milestone anniversaries in 2019. The Maine Dressage Society celebrated 25 years; and the Eastern States Dressage and Combined Training Association, the Midwest Dressage Association, the Northern Ohio Dressage Association, and the Utah Dressage Society all had golden anniversaries.

HOW: 30 championship divisions offered with $100,000 in prize money

n the press center for the memorably cold 2018 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®, this writer joked with other media representatives and competitors that the weather conditions in Kentucky couldn’t possibly be as miserable two years in a row.

We were wrong.

Mother Nature began dishing out her wrath on Lexington the week before the 2019 Finals. Halloween trick-or-treaters braved a 30-degree temperature crash that culminated in snow showers, lows in the 20s, and a nip of wind chill.

Instead of quickly rebounding back to seasonal norms, additional cold fronts continued to sweep in, setting an ominous tone for the Finals week to come.

Sure enough, by the first day of competition on Thursday, local weather forecasters had declared that “Winter looks to show up early!” as arctic cold turned heavy rain into flurries. Friday dawned with temps in the 20s and wind chill in the teens, and even with some sun the thermometer struggled to make it past the 30 mark. Thankfully, despite frigid overnight temperatures, the weekend proved to be a bit more comfortable for competitors.

“We offered to make a sacrifice to the weather gods and begged them to help us out this time,” competition manager Debra Reinhardt said with a laugh, “but it seems that our efforts went unanswered, as we were so unlucky again with unusually cold weather.” On the up side, she said, “a big difference from last year is that we were much better prepared;

the Kentucky Horse Park was better prepared; and I think competitors were also prepared. We did not have the unhappy people like we did in 2018, and we saw a lot of smiles and teamwork. Of course, it helps when the last day ends up being sunny and warm!”

Said USDF president Lisa Gorretta: “It is disappointing that we seem to have drawn the bad-weather card for the last few years, and this time the weather presented challenges for not only the Finals but also for the National Horse Show [held at the Horse Park] the week before.

They had a tremendous amount of rain that actually made our planned outdoor lungeing pads unusable.

The Finals in 2020 will fall a few days earlier [November 5-8], so I am sincerely hopeful that this cycle will be broken and we will see weather

Finals 2021: Calling All Juniors and Young Riders

Y

outh riders have always been eligible to compete in open divisions at the US Dressage Finals, but as announced at the 2019 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention, junior/young rider divisions will officially join the Finals roster beginning in 2021 (“Broadened Horizons,” page 64).

According to Finals competition manager Debra Reinhardt, the USDF has formed an implementation task force to tackle the logistical issues. The estimate is that 40 to 60 horse/rider combinations will be added at Training through Fourth Levels, which translates to “five championship classes added to the show—and yes, more awards ceremonies and press conferences,” Reinhardt said. “It should also add rides to the open Dressage in the Bluegrass dressage show which runs in conjunction with the Finals, so this means the Walnut Rings will run more on a full-time basis instead of just as needed on certain days.”

ford to do it, you’ll never regret the experience.’ And I thought, that’s it, I’m going to do it. How many times do you get that kind of opportunity?

patterns that more resemble the first year or two—but, as the saying goes, we can control almost everything, except the weather.”

In her first trip to the Finals, Region 7 competitor Jocelyn Towne most certainly did not bring her Los Angeles hometown weather with her to Kentucky. With heat packets literally in hand on a frigid Friday morning, she rode her nine-year-old Hanoverian gelding, Bandini (Bon Fatious – Shakira, Sandro Hit), to victory in the Fourth Level Adult Amateur Championship on a score of 70.833%.

“I admit I was dreading my ride today because of the cold,” Towne said afterward, “but I got out there all suited up, the adrenaline kicks in, and you just do it.”

Even after she and Bandini qualified for the Finals, Towne was on the fence about going.

“I was waiting at the airport after Regionals in September,” she recalled, “and I ran into some other people from the show. I said to them, ‘I don’t know if I should go to the Finals; it’s such a big trip.’

And they looked at me and said, ‘If you get the opportunity and can af-

Since 2013, the show’s inaugural year, US Dressage Finals entries have risen dramatically. Over the past two years, however, the trend has shifted: Although the number of horse/rider combinations participating in the Finals has leveled out, the number of actual tests ridden has increased significantly.

In 2019, a total of 345 entries produced 970 rides. Also continuing a trend we first identified in 2018: More than a quarter (26%) of those rides were freestyles.

As Reinhardt explained, “People aren’t coming here for just one class any more. They’re entering multiple championship divisions and/or cross-entering into the open show, getting more bang for their buck.”

The down side of all those rides is the increasingly lengthy days for competitors, staff, officials, and volunteers. What’s more, the swelling freestyle divisions have added to the scheduling headaches, jamming the two freestyle rings until they literally run out of daylight—and it’s not as easy as one might think to just add another ring.

Reinhardt maintains that these are good problems to have because they are proof that the Finals are thriving.

“The reality [of show scheduling] is that you have to adjust all the time,” she said. “It’s a natural evolution that some divisions will get larger or smaller over time.” For 2019, she said, one championship class changed days, and a few other

Westward Ho?

M

ore than 2,000 miles of continental United States once again couldn’t keep a diehard group of West Coast dressage riders from attending the 2019 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®.

Traveling both by land and by air, a dozen Californians brought their horses, friends, and family members all the way to the Kentucky Horse Park, as did three competitors from Oregon and Washington state.

Almost inevitably following each year’s Finals, various online forums come alive with discussion about moving the Finals west as had been originally proposed in the early years of the event. The topic resurfaces a few weeks later at the Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention, as well. So what is the official and current status of this pursuit?

As USDF president Lisa Gorretta explained, “The USDF Board of Governors passed a motion in 2017 that places the regional directors from Regions 5, 7, and 9 at the ‘tip of the spear.’ When they identify a location they can all agree has the physical attributes and the apparent ‘fiscal sense’ to be a viable host for the Finals, USDF will initiate the formal site-selection process.”

Gorretta reminds competitors that “we are locked into a date window that accommodates the Regional Championships program across the country that makes up the selection system for this event, but I am not one to say that the US Dressage Finals could not be held in a new location. It would undoubtedly be different without the Kentucky Horse Park, but I am fairly sure that, when the time is right, the details will somehow work out. Change happens.”

scheduling tweaks enabled competition in the indoor Alltech Arena to wrap by around 9:30 on Friday and Saturday evenings “instead of well after 11:00 p.m. like we did in 2018.

I think these adjustments helped a lot, and we’ll hold off on further changes for now and see how the next few years turn out.”

For 2019, competitors welcomed the addition of a second awards backdrop in the Alltech Arena, as well as of early-morning warm-up periods in the Alltech, Gorretta said.

“By popular demand, we started the morning hand-walk and open school plus sound checks 30 minutes earlier this year,” she said. “But it did create a challenge in that we had so many ‘guests’ by 6:30 a.m. that we had to be careful with crowd control to keep everyone safe.”

Reaching New Heights In one of the most talked-about classes of the 2019 Finals, 25 horses and riders fought it out in the Alltech Arena for the First Level Open Freestyle championship title.

Ultimately it would take a score of

over 70% to even make it into the top 10, and eventually Region 4 rider Brianna Zwilling, Wentzville, Missouri, took the title with a whopping 80.111%—the highest final overall score earned at the Finals to date. Her partner was Sally Miller’s nine-year-old KWPN mare, For Dea Bella (Don Schufro – A Royal Diamond MC, Royal Diamond), USbred by Wendy Sherlock.

The First Level Open Freestyle reserve champion—who herself earned a score of 80% from one of the three judges on the panel—was fellow Region 4 competitor Jenna Upchurch, Chesterfield, Missouri.

Aboard her own six-year-old Oldenburg gelding, Dante Divino (Dante Weltino – Force Majeure, Fürst Romancier), Upchurch posted an overall final score of 77.667%.

“I think in general the standard of competition at the Finals is getting higher and higher,” said judge Natalie Lamping. She called the First Level Open Freestyle championship “perhaps the best class of this year’s show and a great example of what as judges we love to see.” To wit: “We had such

an impressive group of horses and riders as well as music, choreography, and execution; but the winning ride in particular was of a very high quality in harmony, choreography, and accuracy. The standard she set was very, very good, and the choreography was more difficult than you often see in Second and Third Level. Yet despite the difficulty, everything was done so perfectly and correctly. What else could you want?”

Broadened Horizons No matter your level of dressage involvement, the USDF wants to be your resource.

Outreach efforts took center stage at the 2019 convention.

BY JENNIFER O. BRYANT

SAVANNAH SUNSET: Downtown Savannah as viewed from the USDF convention host hotel across the river

A

lthough first-year USDF president Lisa Gorretta admitted to butterflies as she presided over her inaugural USDF Board of Governors (BOG) assembly (“Inside USDF,” page 6), the 2019 Adequan®/ USDF Annual Convention in Savannah, Georgia, December 4-7, was smooth sailing overall. The host hotel was set beside the far shore of the Savannah River, with historic downtown Savannah a ferry hop away.

Occasionally meeting-goers’ attention to the business at hand was distracted by the sight of a mighty container ship looming outside, nosing its way through the narrow shipping channel as it made its way toward the Atlantic Ocean.

JENNIFER BRYANT

Expansion and Outreach Quiet changes over the past year seek to broaden the USDF’s appeal, both within and without. After lobbying by supporters of juniors and young riders since the inception of the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® in 2013, that demographic will get its wish: As Gorretta announced, “We will be introducing a youth division at the US Dressage Finals in 2021.”

The additional division “will not detract from the adult-amateur experience at the Finals,” Gorretta promised. “We believe we can assimilate the youth into the existing number of rings that we have, in the existing number of days that we have.”

Youth may be keen to compete in dressage, but in any given year some enthusiasts find themselves stepping away from the show ring, for various reasons. Although most retain interest in the sport, those who shelve competition tend to drop their USDF participating memberships until such time that they plan to begin competing again, according to USDF executive director Stephan Hienzsch. [

USDF CONNECTION | March/April 2020

As Gorretta points out in her “Inside USDF” column in this issue, all businesses must deal with the issue of customer (in USDF’s case, member) retention. In the past, USDF’s membership options have been relatively limited: geared toward the active “recognized show” competitor or owner of a competing horse; toward the business that wishes to target the dressage market; or, through USDF’s groupmember organizations (GMOs), toward the enthusiast who seeks local involvement, such as participating in unrecognized (“schooling”) shows.

Of the approximately 3,700 participating members (PMs) who did not rejoin the USDF in 2018, Hienzsch said, 85 percent cited as their reason having no plans to compete. Meanwhile, only 700 of the 3,700 retained GMO membership. Although the USDF gained about the same number of new participating members, thereby keeping total membership numbers stable, the loss of existing members still should be addressed, he said.

A little less than a decade ago, USDF launched a low-cost membership category in an attempt to capture some of the non-competition-oriented sector of the US dressage market. The

$25-a-year education membership, as it was called, offered online-only access to USDF publications and educational materials, and it offered no awards or other program eligibility benefits. Unfortunately the venture never gained traction, and so in 2019 the USDF staff proposed a rebranding of the category to “noncompeting” membership.

USDF Bylaws Committee chair Chris Trentelman presented the proposal at the BOG assembly, and the delegates greeted it with mixed opinions. Although most expressed support for the concept of an education-oriented membership category, enough delegates disliked the “noncompeting” moniker enough—believing it to carry a whiff of condescension—that the motion was defeated and the USDF staff was directed to revisit the idea and come up with a name perceived to be more welcoming and inclusive.

Once approved, the initiative has the potential to spur considerable membership growth. As Hienzsch pointed out, USDF’s social-media pages and its open-access website YourDressage.org (launched in 2019) reach approximately 20,000 followers

66 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

and users “who may not be USDF members,” he said. Recognizing that “many people live nowhere near a GMO and its activities, USDF needs to offer something to bridge that.”

GMO efforts. During the open Membership Committee meeting, chair Paula Langan and committee member Kevin Bradbury reported that some dressage enthusiasts who join USDF directly as PMs are not aware of the national GMO network of affiliated local and regional dressage clubs. About half of USDF’s members are both PMs and group members (GMs), according to USDF Region 6 director Peter Rothschild. So while the USDF seeks to bring previously unaffiliated dressage enthusiasts into the fold, it has also been ramping up efforts to provide GMOs with tools they can use to attract and retain their own members.

As USDF education coordinator Isabella Baker explained during the GMO Roundtable discussions, several newer USDF programs are GMOfocused. One, the Regional Schooling Show Awards Program, offers recognition to unrecognized-show participants at Introductory, Training, First, Second, Third, Fourth, and FEI

GMO OPPORTUNITIES: During the GMO Roundtable discussions, The Dressage Foundation executive director Jenny Johnson (left) and USDF education coordinator Isabella Baker gave a rundown of available funding grants and education initiatives

levels. In a unique division arrangement, the program allows for those adult-amateur riders who don’t hold USEF amateur cards (i.e., who are not current USEF members) to compete in a Non-Pro division so that they don’t have to go up against the open riders or the junior/young riders.

All GMOs have access to USDF’s GMO education lectures, said Baker.

These modules are one- to two-hour educational presentations that include video files—great for lecture nights and other unmounted GMO gatherings. Five modules are currently available; the newest is on the subject of scribe training, she said.

Another new benefit is USDF’s GMO calendar and map. Housed on the USDF website (usdf.org), the calendar lists both USDF-affiliated and GMO educational events along with clickable map pins for more information. GMOs are invited to submit events listings for additional promotional exposure, Baker said.

Baker and The Dressage Foundation (TDF) executive director Jenny Johnson reminded GMO Roundtable discussion attendees that funds exist to help GMOs defray the costs of hosting or producing events. TDF’s Violet Hopkins Fund, for instance, makes available up to $2,000 in grants for GMO programs. USDF itself offers 18 grants per year (not all of which are currently being awarded, according to Baker) toward GMO Education Initiative-approved events. A GMO or chapter may apply for a grant of up to $1,000.

The High Road While the USDF has been working to reinforce its commitment to its GMOs, the USEF has been working to reinforce its commitment to the USDF. The USEF, the national governing body (NGB) for equestrian sport

in the US, works in tandem with USDF, its official affiliate dressage organization. For instance, the USEF makes the rules for licensed national-level dressage competition, but sport-specific rules frequently germinate in USDF committees or as a result of BOG motions. In recent years the USDF has been assuming more “official” responsibility.

By taking over the training of dressage technical delegates, in addition to USDF’s existing roles in educating prospective dressage judges and certifying dressage instructors, the USDF is gradually cementing its position as the “ground floor” educational hub for all things dressage.

Despite this symbiosis, there has typically been a difference in focus between the two organizations, with the USDF perceived as appealing to the “grass roots” and the USEF focused more on the elite ranks, with different coaches, training programs, and championships. Both the USDF and the USEF recognize the benefits of cross-pollination, as it were, and so the USEF has been holding more meetings at USDF conventions, including the popular USEF athletes’ forum, peppered

with Olympians and other VIP riders and horse owners, at which hopefuls learn about USEF programs for youth and beyond.

The USEF CEO and a dressage high-performance representative deliver annual “state of the union” reports to the USDF BOG. CEO Bill Moroney’s address centered on Safe Sport, the US government-mandated, US Olympic Committee-created system of training and policing participants in the Olympic sports regarding matters of abuse and misconduct. USEF instituted a Safe Sport policy in 2013, prior to the national US Center for Safe Sport’s creation in 2017 following the enactment of S. 534 –Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017, according to the Safe Sport FAQ on usef.org.

As an amateur sports organization, USEF must comply with the Safe Sport law and therefore, as of last year, requires USEF competing members and others (such as officials and horse owners) over the age of 18 to complete Safe Sport training to be eligible to participate in USEF activities.

USEF’s rollout has not been without controversy and some confusion, and Moroney acknowledged that fact and pledged to address any issues, beginning with two open Q&A meetings in Florida in January, which he said

TO LOS ANGELES AND BEYOND: USEF director of sport Will Connell is focused on the 2028 Olympics, which will be the first US-hosted summer Games since Atlanta 1996

USEF would try to record and upload to its website.

“The US Equestrian Federation… completely support[s] the men and women who have bravely come forward to tell their stories” [of abuse and harassment within the equestrian community],” he said. “Their efforts at raising awareness in our sport are helping to protect others from abuse. Our entire community has to share in this responsibility to make sure that our members can not only have a safe sport but an enjoyable sport to participate in.”

USEF director of sport Will Connell—who formerly held the equivalent position with the British Equestrian Federation, during which time he produced a phenomenal medal haul for Team Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympic Games—gave an upbeat update on USEF high-performance dressage activities. Since Connell crossed the pond, Team USA dressage has been moving up the podium platforms, going from team bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics to team silver at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games, and with a WEG individual silver medal (Laura Graves on Verdades) and three FEI World Cup Dressage Final silvers (Graves and Verdades again), among others.

Whether Connell knew in December that Graves was planning to retire

68 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

Verdades (“Collection,” page 15) is not known, but his words to the USDF BOG were prescient.

“Our mission in elite sport is sustained success,” he said. “That means you have to have a functional pathway, not just the next Laura Graves or [fellow Olympic and WEG medalist] Kasey [Perry-Glass] or whoever it is.

As an athlete, as a parent, as a coach, you can see the next step, whatever it is. You want to see that the education and the sport [are] trickling down to the lowest levels.”

Connell views the upcoming 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles as a tremendous opportunity.

“Membership for British Dressage [Great Britain’s dressage educational and governing body] after the London Olympics went up 41 percent,” he said.

“The Olympics are the biggest leverage we have for sport.” The 2028 Games will be “the biggest sporting event we will have ever seen,” he predicted.

And although those Games are eight years away, the time to start planning is now, Connell advised.

“It will be over so quickly,” he said.

“As a sport, we have to start planning now for LA.”

VIP Honors Arguably the high point of the USDF convention is the annual Salute Gala & Annual Awards Banquet. Recipients of coveted USDF

rider awards and year-end awards don their finest to enjoy their moments in the sun while family and friends jostle for position to record the achievements for posterity. The gala evening begins with the most special honors: presentations of USDF Volunteer and Youth Volunteer of the Year awards, USDF Lifetime Achievement Awards honors, and inductions into the Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame.

For her tireless contributions toward sport-horse-breeding and para-dressage education, among others, Kristi Wysocki, of Coupeville, Washington, was named the 2019 USDF Volunteer of the Year.

Wysocki is an FEI 5* para-dressage judge, a 4* dressage judge, and a USEF “R” sport-horse breeding judge. She has served on numerous USDF, USEF, and FEI committees and working groups, and she has been instrumental in the establishment of many of the USDF’s sporthorse educational and competition programs.

The 2019 USDF Youth Volunteer of the Year, Ruby Tevis, of Lexington, Kentucky, has been extremely active in her USDF GMO, the Kentucky Dressage Association. Tevis has organized KDA events, revitalized the club’s social-media channels, and established opportunities for youth education and exposure, among others.

Former USDF Region 8 director Fern Feldman, of Cheshire, Connecticut, received the USDF Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her lengthy volunteer national-level service to the organization. Feldman, who still serves as a board member of The Dressage Foundation and as vice president of Lendon Gray’s Dressage4Kids organization, has given generously

of her time in support of dressage and continues to serve as a model and an inspiration, said Gray in her presentation speech.

For her multifaceted contributions to American dressage, Jane Savoie, of Wellington, Florida, was

inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Savoie, the reserve rider for the 1992 US Olympic dressage team, went on to become a champion of adultamateur riders. A popular clinician, Savoie also shared her dressagetraining and sports-psychology wis-

dom through her books and videos and as a motivational speaker. She conducted USDF Adult Clinics and many USDF University events and convention educational sessions. Although Savoie was unable to attend the gala, she sent an acceptancespeech video that was played during the induction ceremony.

Also inducted into the Hall of Fame was retired FEI 5* dressage judge Axel Steiner, of San Marcos, California. A transplanted German who ascended to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the US Air Force before his retirement from the service, Steiner brought his dressage experience to the US in the sport’s

He is a USDF founding member, a longtime USDF Judges Committee member (and former chair), a USDF L program faculty member, and a member of numerous other USDF and USEF committees. As a judge, Steiner officiated at international championships including the 2000 Olympic Games, and he continues to judge actively as a USEF “S” judge. He has become a popular dressage commentator, offering judge’s-eye-view observations at FEI World Cup Finals and other major competitions.

Congratulations to all of the deserving 2019 honorees and award recipients! Mark your calendars now for the 2020 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention, December 2-5 in Omaha, Nebraska.

aphira’s story is one of hope and resilience.

Owner Anke OttYoung purchased her as a “package deal” while importing her pregnant dam, Raven Rubin, from Germany. Just after completing a freestyle test in Saugerties, New York, Ott-Young received a call from the reproductive facility that “Rapunzel” was foaling. She rushed to the mare’s side and was delighted to meet a beautiful filly.

The foal began breathing rapidly and then suddenly stopped breathing. Just as quickly, she began breathing again, stood up, and nursed. Ott-Young, a physician, pulled out a stethoscope to listen to the filly’s lungs and checked her heart rate.

“Her heartbeat was incredibly fast,” she recalls, “like triple what it’s supposed to be for a baby horse.” After a veterinarian ruled out broken ribs, the filly was given antibiotics and fluids and observed overnight.

She didn’t get up much and was nursing less, “so off to the hospital she went with her mama. When they drew blood, she was septic. We all thought she was going to die.

She had a white-blood-cell count of about 1,000. She was a mess. I didn’t even give her a name because I didn’t think she was going to live.”

No one knew what had caused the filly’s rapid decline, as septicemia generally occurs a few days after birth, Ott-Young says. After treatment with fluids, antibiotics, and probiotics, the baby began to improve. Eventually she was released from the hospital but was kept on antibiotics for about three weeks.

“I thought, either that horse is going to hate humans or it’s going to be fine with us,” Ott-Young admits.

“Turns out she actually likes humans, despite the fact that we kept sticking her with needles. She’s just turned out to be a pretty, nice, normal, easygoing, human-loving young horse.”

She attributes her horse’s affinity for people to her dam’s Rubinstein line.

The filly’s name comes from the Eragon series by author Christopher Paolini. In the story, Eragon finds an egg in the woods and takes it home.

It hatches and a baby dragon emerges, whom he names Zaphira. When she grows up, Eragon rides her.

“The first time he rides,” says OttYoung, “it’s this beautiful scene with the dragon and the rider flying out to the mountains. He almost falls off until finally he gets the hang of it, and then the rider and the dragon become one.”

Ott-Young’s first time showing her filly was less than stellar. “She was basically on her hind legs, try-

ing to make a point that she didn’t necessarily appreciate being run around in the indoor ring on the lead line,” she said. But “we decided to try again. She was at first a little feisty, but after all the hard times she’s shown her true colors—at least for now.”

After the ups and downs of life with Zaphira (whose early health crisis “[took] up the entire barn vet budget for the year in just a few weeks”), Ott-Young encourages other breeders not to be discouraged.

“Breeders need all the support they can get,” she says. “We all face bad situations and hardships to produce sport horses. It is a labor of love and much underappreciated.

Because you breed these babies, you put your heart, your blood, your soul in it. We all go through so much heartache and financial sacrifice breeding sport horses.

“Breeding is not for the faint of heart, but stories like this are what makes us continue our passion,” OttYoung goes on. Zaphira “is special to us for many different reasons, but she is, after all, just a happy filly in her herd. You know, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, and your foal can be a Traveling Trot trophy Horse of the Year too.”

e may be Bruce Springsteen, but he’s not the Boss. He’s just “Bruce.”

According to breeder Maryanna Haymon, as long as Bruce Springsteen MF’s grandsire, Don Principe, is alive, Bruce will never be the Boss. “You can’t have a boss and a prince,” she says. “That just won’t work. He has a little bit too much chutzpah, so he doesn’t need to be told he’s boss. So, he’s Bruce.”

A modern-type Hanoverian with enormous gaits, young Bruce appears destined to be a star worthy of his namesake.

“He’s way above average,” Haymon says. “He’s pro. He’s a good representation of a breeding program that goes through the generations and gets better than the last.

“And, to be frank,” Haymon continues, “if he goes to an amateur, they’d better be a good rider—not because of the temperament, but because of the quality of the gaits. This isn’t a horse that’s strung out; this is a horse that has a jump to the canter stride. And what comes through in that family line and because of his self-carriage, his piaffe is going to be world-class.”

Bruce is a prime example of

Haymon’s goal: to produce at her Marydell Farm international-caliber horses with good brains and ridability.

Her philosophy, she explains, is to breed horses able to compete in three types of Grand Prix-level dressage classes. The first is talented enough for either an amateur or a professional to be competitive at regional and national shows. The second is capable of contesting CDIs (FEI-recognized dressage competitions). The third is the true international-quality horse— one that can place in the top three or four in Florida or California CDIs and that make the short list for team competitions. Bruce, Haymon believes, belongs in the third group.

With rider Caitlin Kincaid, Bruce has enjoyed tremendous early success. On his way to earning the 2019 Adequan®/USDF Materiale Horse of the Year title, he brought home dressage sport-horse breeding (DSHB) ribbons and won several in-hand and Materiale competition championships.

Kincaid describes Bruce as attentive and precocious, exuberant and full of personality.

“He looks to the human for some cues on what to do next,” she says.

“He’s just starting his riding career

and it’s been a positive experience, which is fantastic.”

As for that big canter, “he is just learning how to place himself,” Kincaid says, but “from where I stand, there’s a good chance of being able to help him showcase his canter to its fullest.”

As tempting as it could be to see what such a talented youngster could do, Kincaid says the plan is to build Bruce’s foundation while keeping him happy in his work, whether it’s in the arena or on a hack.

“It’s really just trying to make the beginning part of his career as enjoyable and as clear as I can,” she says, “so that the next rider and the next owner have a fantastic jumping-off point to develop him into the FEI star I see in him. I get to input all of the little switchboards, and sometime down the road, somebody else hopefully gets to flick them on and go.”

Kincaid adds: “I think you can see what Bruce has accomplished and extrapolate from that what Maryanna has achieved. She puts her heart and soul into these horses, and their success is a testament to her dedication to the breed and to the industry.”

coon likes the feeling of the wind in his hair and the smoking-hot girl next door. Owner Anna Westfelt has a video of her gelding when the barn was being tidied with a leaf blower.

“He just wanted them to blow it in his face because he thought he was running,” she says. “He’s a really curious and playful horse. He’s always kind of like, ‘Hey, look at this!’ and trying to make a lot of noise with whatever he can find, like a bucket, a ball, a fan, or anything. So he’s a bit of a comedian. He makes us laugh a lot.”

“Emmett” was a late starter, Westfelt says. A June foal, he was smaller than his peers and had been under saddle only a handful of times when Westfelt found him in the Netherlands. But when she saw the little horse’s canter, she knew she had to have him.

“His canter is absolutely amazing,” she says. “We bought him from the breeder of [his sire] Dream

Boy, and he said he reminded him of Dream Boy a lot. We definitely bought him for the FEI potential.

Dream Boy is obviously a worldclass FEI horse, and Icoon seems very trainable and happy to work.

He was started a whole year later than his peers, basically, and we just wanted to just let him mature slowly and take our time with the training.”

Westfelt splits her time between California and Montana, where Emmett was started by her trainer there, Chrissy Robinson. “She did a really great job with him his first year in the US,” the owner recalls. “He had to get used to living in Montana and the serious snow and cold.”

Emmett is a California boy now, and he’s grown in the last year and a half. With rider Craig Stanley, he’s earned Training Level scores of as high as 83.276% and 81.034%. Moving up to First Level in late 2019, the pair has already broken the 80% mark.

“He puts it on when he goes in

the show ring,” Stanley says of his talented mount. “He’s very pretty and eye-catching and impressive to watch, and the judges seem to like him.”

The good-looking gelding also has great taste in girls. His nextdoor neighbor is Stanley’s mare Caliente DG, the 2013 Adequan®/USDF Third Level Dressage Horse of the Year and the 2016 Intermediate I Horse of the Year reserve champion.

Emmett “gets upset when she leaves every day,” Stanley says.

With an older FEI horse that’s soon to be retired, Westfelt plans eventually to take over the ride on Emmett, she says, but for now he will stay with Stanley in view of the pair’s success. Not surprisingly, Stanley has resolved to “make the most of every moment” with his current partner.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to train him and ride such a nice horse,” he says.

onin may be a bit of a cowardly lion, but the trust he has in rider/ trainer/co-owner Martin Kuhn helped him overcome his lack of courage to snare both the First and Second Level Adequan®/USDF Dressage Horse of the Year titles in 2019.

“He’s a character,” Kuhn says with a laugh. “He’s not the bravest

horse on the face of the planet, but he derives a lot of confidence from being with people. If he’s afraid of something, he can eventually be convinced that it’s not that scary, either from the saddle or the ground.”

One time, Kuhn recalls, “we were out for a hack, and a hawk decided that we were threatening his nest or something.” The bird dive-bombed

horse and rider in an attempt to deter the perceived predators. “That was a bit of a dramatic event for Ronin, but he got over it—eventually. He goes out in the fields happily now and hacks up and down the hills, but maybe a small part of his brain is looking for that hawk on the horizon.”

Adequan®/USDF Horse of the Year Program faculty member Kathryn “Kate” Fleming-Kuhn, believes that the gelding is “like a lot of top horses: He has a little bit what I would consider to be a ‘funny’ personality, maybe bordering on quirky. I think that is in large part what you see when he goes under saddle. There’s a brilliance to him, and that electricity that makes him really stand out can make him a little bit of a funny horse to handle; but I think he derives a lot of his confidence and his trust from Martin. The two of them have a relationship where Martin asks something of him, and Ronin feels like he can handle that and he can do it. A horse like that needs that kind of relationship, especially maybe as a younger horse, to really bring out the best in him.”

His rider has certainly brought out the best in Ronin. In 2019, he and Kuhn raked in top scores, including an impressive 89.444% at First Level Test 3 at a show in their home state of Illinois. At the 2019 US Dressage Finals, the pair won both the First Level Open Championship (77.130%) and the Second Level Open Freestyle Championship (76%). The Training Level Open champions at the 2018 Finals, Ronin

which is a little unusual for youngsters so early. They may have one gait where they are more solid and more balanced and more secure, and then the others develop. He is incredibly balanced and comfortable in his own skin.” Kuhn calls Ronin’s walk and trot “quite exceptional” but says that his canter is “very, very special, as opposed to just very special.”

This winter, the dressage pros plan to evaluate Ronin’s progress, considering whether the time is right for US Equestrian’s dressage Development Program. Ultimately, of course, they aspire to bring the gelding up to Grand Prix.

“I think he shows there’s aptitude for that,” Kuhn says. “How quickly that happens is, you know, a bit up to him, but I think that the talent is there.”

When he’s not winning in the dressage arena, Kuhn says, Ronin is a champion eater. “He’ll eat anything that isn’t nailed down. He’s not terribly picky when it comes to food. He loves his sugar, he loves carrots, he loves all the normal fare. And he does enjoy a nap, so that, I would think, would be on the top of his list.”

and Kuhn were featured on the cover of last year’s yearbook issue of USDF Connection.

Purchased at the age of two and a half for one of the Kuhns’ students (they bought him outright in August 2019), Ronin (Romanov Blue Hors – Something Royal, Sir Donnerhall I) is living up to the promise Kate had spotted very early on.

“I saw Ronin first as a foal and he caught my attention,” she says.

“He’s very elegant and a very good mover, He finished growing up in our pastures, and we started him in his three-year-old year. I think he is probably the most impressively athletic and talented young horse we’ve ever started. He has something special about him, and that’s obvious when you watch him go. He almost looks like his feet don’t touch the ground. Very light. A very, very, very special horse.”

The Kuhns says they continue to be wowed by Ronin’s talent and scope.

“His incredible athleticism has shown off in his tractability and just his general way of going,” Martin Kuhn says, “because his basic gaits are of very high quality. That was apparent from basically the get-go,

ndiana R is a superstar athlete in a plain brown wrapper. The 16-hand KWPN gelding sports no flashy “chrome,” and his relatively diminutive height prompted breeder Michele Seaver to ask FEIlevel trainer and competitor Alyssa Pitts to sell him for her.

Without high hopes, Seaver told Pitts to get what she could for “Indy.”

The first person to try him wanted to buy, but Indy failed his prepurchase exam.

“His feet were sore because he had been barefoot, and we ended up putting shoes on,” Pitts explains.

“The ground was frozen and really hard. The vet said just to put him out in the field for a couple of months.”

Indy went home to Seaver’s Red Wagon Farm in Mount Vernon, Washington. When he returned to Pitts, his feet no longer sore, “I was just blown away. I’d never sat on a horse like this,” the rider says.

The sales process began anew.

One person passed him over, and another got bucked off. Pitts decided that Indy was trying to tell her some-

thing, gathered her courage, and asked Seaver if she would consider a partnership. Seaver thought about it, watched the pair in action, and agreed that the horse was a keeper.

“So we partnered on him,” Pitts says, “and Michele, in all of her generosity, guaranteed me the contract through 2024. She actually put in the contract that, if anything ever happened to her, her estate would continue paying for him through 2024.”

As ill luck would have it, Seaver died suddenly in April 2019.

“I adored her,” Pitts says of her late partner. “She was a wonderful human being. She bred amazing horses. Most of the horses I ride came from her, as she had a worldclass breeding farm.”

After Seaver’s death, Pitts says, she had no intention of holding the family to the contract. “She didn’t owe me anything, and her family didn’t owe me anything.

Her husband offered for me to buy him out of the contract. They were essentially giving him to me, and I said, ‘Are you sure you want to do

that? Because he’s worth a lot more than this, and let me show you the contract because it states the value of what I would owe her.’” Seaver’s husband stood by his offer. As a result, “I paid a little tiny bit of money for him, but it was really a gift.”

Although Pitts describes her gelding as a cheeky monster, she is obviously besotted with Indy.

“I’ve ridden so many horses, and there’s nothing that feels like him.

He’s super-light and soft. He’s incredibly powerful. He’s such an athlete; I don’t think he finds anything difficult. He’s just a joy to ride. The hard part about training him is he always thinks he’s right, and if you’re trying to teach him something, he’s annoyed because he tells you he knows what he’s doing. But once you get through that, it’s easy. He just does it. He can put his body anywhere.”

“This horse is amazing,” Pitts enthuses. “He’s just really, really striking. It’s funny, because when he was a yearling he just looked very unassuming and boring. The minute he starts moving, it’s just ‘Wow.’” —Sue Weakley

H

arrold S may have matured and moved up the levels since he won the Adequan®/USDF Training Level Dressage Horse of the Year title in 2017, but he still loves his stuffed animals.

Back then, “Harrold” was besotted by a big stuffed dog, but his current crush is a furry, decorative pillow that owner/rider Claire Darnell bought at Goodwill.

“He really likes stuffed toys,” Darnell says of her horse. “He has a stall with an attached paddock, and once I let him have a stuffed duck. I hung it out in the paddock overnight. I don’t know what Harrold and his neighboring five-year-old horse did to that toy, but it looked like it snowed in the morning because there was fluff everywhere. So now they only get toys during the day so that we can make sure they’re not eating it.”

Harrold destroys a stuffed animal a month, by Darnell’s estimate.

When she goes shopping for the latest replacement, she searches for a companion with limited appendages. “He had a unicorn, and he ripped off the horn right away, of course,” she explains. “And then the legs. The

unicorn was not a good idea, but I could see he had a great time.”

Not only does Harrold like playing with stuffed toys, but he also likes making dressage training a game.

“The best part about him is that he is so fun to ride every day,” Darnell says. “It’s unbelievable. He just comes out ready to go all the time.

We just get so much from the horse, but it’s all just like a game for him.

It’s not work, just play, so teaching him new things is interesting and fun. We tried a new exercise to work on the pirouettes, and he was really interested and thought it was a fun game that we got to do.”

The pair works three days a week with 2012 US Olympic dressage veteran and fellow Californian Jan Ebeling.

“We’ve gotten so much out of the training,” says Darnell. “I think it’s so helpful to have someone on the ground all the time, but I can’t get away with much!”

Harrold’s pirouettes “have developed so much through the season,” Darnell says, adding proudly that the gelding received a 9 on a pirouette at a late-2019 show. Fourth Level scores of as high as 77+% put

him atop the Horse of the Year rankings last year.

When it comes to challenges for the fun-loving horse, learning flying changes was a bit difficult in the beginning, Darnell says, because he is 17.3 hands with a huge canter. He had to learn balance and containment, but he soon got the hang of it and now the changes are a piece of cake, she says.

Speaking of treats, Harrold is very opinionated about his goodies.

He loves apples and carrots and will accept a banana from someone (besides his owner) just to be polite, but he says no to sugar and peppermints. And when it comes to horse cookies, he’ll eat only one brand and will accept no substitutes.

“No, thank you,” Darnell laughs.

“Yeah, he’s picky.”

Harrold also loves trail riding in the park just down the road, and Darnell strives to take him there for a weekly hack.

So what’s next for the toy-destroying, game-loving horse-cookie connoisseur? Working on the Developing Prix St. Georges.

“We’ll just keep training and keep going,” says Darnell. “Fingers crossed!”

Regent

2010 black 18-hand Danish Warmblood gelding Sire: De Noir 3 • Dam: Regina Vogt Owner/Rider: Shawna Harding, Aiken, South Carolina Breeder: Anne Johansen, Denmark 94 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

COURTESY OF SHAWNA HARDING

Prix St. Georges

E

ighteen-hand Regent has a wide wing span, and owner/rider Shawna Harding has the bruises on her feet to prove it.

“My baby giraffe,” as Harding calls him, is a bit of a spooky worrier who tries to climb on Mom for protection. Harding’s toes and shins don’t stand a chance.

“He is a very tall drink of water,” Harding says, adding that Regent is a sensitive horse with whom she has built a strong bond. “If I were a kangaroo, he’d live in my pouch. He’s adorable and very people-friendly.

He just loves attention and gets a little miffed if you don’t pay attention to him.”

Harding knew that Regent was the horse for her from the beginning of a horse-shopping trip to Denmark.

“This just four-year-old, very tall, leggy black horse came in the hall,” she recalls. “It was love at first sight.”

After purchasing Regent, she went back to Europe to bond with him and to build trust.

“When he first arrived from Denmark, he was afraid of everything,” Harding says. “God forbid that the guys would start blasting water

into the just-cleaned water buckets.

My poor Regent would be cringing in the corner.” The horse was too nervous to stand for the farrier, so Harding had to stand with him. “He is very much a momma’s boy, but he knows that it’s OK when I’m with him. He is allowed to show his fear or apprehension. He trusts me even when he is scared. I think it’s a real partnership.”

A little reinforcement didn’t hurt, either. When Regent arrived in the US “he didn’t know what a carrot or piece of sugar was and had to learn about treats,” Harding says, “but now he’ll eat just about anything.”

To build her horse’s confidence, Harding takes Regent hacking in the woods and out and about near her home base of Aiken, South Carolina.

She tells him stories and sings to him.

“We keep the conversation going throughout the ride, and I love to tell him how good he is and to build him up,” she says. As a trainer, she says her philosophy is to “make everything a game so they want to play. I don’t try and suppress anything, other than bad behavior.”

Horses, she believes, “are just like children, with different personali-

ties. You just have to home into their strong suits and build up confidence and make a big deal about the good stuff. It’s nice to have goals, but I let the horse dictate how much or little we’re going to do. It’s really listening to your horses and doing things with them, not at them or to them.”

The future for Regent involves building strength and stamina before coming out at Grand Prix.

Harding believes that her tall, elegant mount’s three excellent gaits and aptitude for piaffe, passage, and pirouettes will take him far.

“He just needs to be strong before I move him up to the highest level,” she says. “It’s a very technical test, so the accuracy really has to be there. He has a lot of gears coming into it now, so it’s all coming together.”

“Regent is still a chicken about things,” his owner says affectionately, “but he always wants to please me.

It’s what makes him him. His heart is growing, as is his confidence. He is just a happy boy. So I always look for that to keep the eye on the prize. He is turning into a competition horse and becoming one of my dragons.”

2010 chestnut 17.2-hand Dutch Warmblood stallion Sire: Vivaldi • Dam: Oogappel Owner: Gerry Ibanez, Anaheim, California Rider: Sarah Lockman, Wildomar, California Breeder: N. van Maaswaal, The Netherlands 96 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

SHANNON BRINKMAN

First Apple

S

arah Lockman has a thing for redheads, and First Apple is no exception.

“He’s actually one of five chestnuts of mine,” Lockman says of the copper-colored stallion. “My first horse when I was three years old was a chestnut, and my best eventing horse when I was a teenager was a chestnut. So it’s just following the trend.”

Lockman and “Apple” dominated last year’s dressage competition at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru. They topped all of their classes to win individual gold and team silver medals (“‘New Kids’ Make Their Mark in Lima,” November/ December 2019).

“We had a really amazing year considering we’re a new combination,” says Lockman, who adds that she only began riding Apple in October 2018. “I think that was definitely magical. It just started off so well from the first time I sat on that horse. I knew he was the one.” She found Apple in the Netherlands and remained there for a few weeks after the purchase, training with the stallion’s former rider, Dutch Olympian Patrick van der Meer.

Lockman’s sponsor, Gerry Ibanez, owner of Summit Farm in Murrieta, California, purchased Apple for Lockman to ride and compete. Sadly, Ibanez died suddenly in November 2019.

Apple not only came to the US with excellent training; he also brought with him an outstanding attitude and demeanor.

“I don’t think anyone has told him that he is a stallion,” Lockman says.

Lockman explains that “the reason why his name is First Apple is the breeders own an apple orchard, so all of their horses’ [names] have something to do with apples. There was a Big Apple and a Red Apple, and he is First Apple.” And yes, Apple’s favorite treat is apples. “How cliché is that?” she laughs.

“The horse is super-talented, and we have shown that we can perform on an international stage under the pressure of being an anchor our first time out riding for our country,” Lockman says proudly. “Obviously, there’s still a lot to do and we have a lot to learn, but I can tell you for a fact my horse has every bit of quality and every bit of talent to be on our

[Olympic] team. We definitely are hoping that, if all goes as planned, we can make a run for it in 2020.”

To prepare, the pair will compete on the Florida “Welly World” show circuit this winter, training with Debbie McDonald and Scott Hassler. According to Lockman, Apple comes happily to work every day and is a good student.

“I think it’s rare because the horse has three super quality gaits,” she says. “He really doesn’t have a weakness, but I’d say his talent is collection. His pirouettes are normally a highlight, and I think everybody’s going to soon see that his piaffe and passage are going to be highlights, too.”

Apple, who’s still just nine years old (he’ll turn 10 in April), has a long career ahead of him.

“This horse is not just a horse for 2020,” Lockman says; “this horse is going to be a horse for 2024 and many years to come. So we’re not just thinking about this next year, but this is definitely a horse for the future and a horse that I hope the US will use again and again.”

eather Mason’s penchant for excelling with problem horses continues with RTF Lincoln.

Born at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Lincoln belonged to one of Mason’s clients, but the owner gave the gelding to her trainer after she required double hip-replacement surgery and realized that her riding days were over.

Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Mason took on the talented but volatile gelding. Their journey has been a series of ups and downs—and Mason even bought a new saddle to deal with the downs.

“I had a special saddle made for him in 2019 because he spun me off over last winter,” Mason explains.

“So I called my saddle guy, and he built me a saddle with bigger thigh blocks on it. They have been very well-tested, and I have stayed on so far. I try not to crash-test too often,” she quips.

According to his rider, it’s difficult to predict what will set Lincoln off. “He can go from a dead-quiet, perfect amateur horse, totally easy to ride, to electric, untouchable, rearing, and spinning in about half a second,” Mason says with a laugh.

“He can switch from one mode to the other, and once he’s hot he doesn’t go back to quiet. He’s definitely high on quirkiness.”

Training sessions can be…excit-

ing. “When I have him learn new stuff, he turns into a ‘Hackney style’ warmblood with his front legs flailing around,” Mason says. “Oh, he’s very interesting with his front legs.

I’m surprised he hasn’t knocked his teeth out with them.”

Learning flying changes was a particularly big issue. “Sometimes we’ll be totally fine going around the ring, and suddenly he decides something is scary,” Mason says. “He’ll spin, and at that moment he’ll be electric-hot. I’ve spent a lot of time just learning how to manage him.”

Lincoln gets turned out every night no matter the weather, and he is always lunged at shows. Mason has learned that he prefers “away” shows, at which he can check out his surroundings and the arena, rather than trailer-in one-day affairs.

But when Lincoln is comfortable at the venue, he turns on the talent.

In addition to clinching the 2019 Adequan®/USDF I-II Dressage Horse of the Year title, he won last year’s I-II Open Championship at the US Dressage Finals. To top it off, he competes in a snaffle because Mason says it encourages more contact with her already-light-inthe-bridle horse.

“He’s very easy to ride—if he’s in a good mood,” Mason says. “He usually pulls off a very nice test.

He’s very comfortable. He’s very balanced. He’s very easy in the hand.

I don’t use a lot of leg because he doesn’t like it. And he loves to show.

When he’s in the ring, he pays as much attention to me as he can, as long as something doesn’t trigger him. I’ve been pretty lucky for the last few seasons, not having anything around the outside of the ring blow his mind.”

Mason has since moved Lincoln up to Grand Prix, and the pair won the Grand Prix Open title at last fall’s Great American/USDF Region 8 Championships with a score of 70.489%. ”He’s green,” Mason says, “but he just gets very solid scores in everything. His piaffe and passage and his changes score very well. He’s got straight, expressive changes.

His pirouettes are super. He’s got a tremendous ability to sit and carry behind. He’s pretty strong in all the movements, but the highly collected movements are his highlights.”

Lincoln isn’t Mason’s first “problem child,” but she says she doesn’t mind.

“I love them,” she says. “I find it so interesting figuring them out because they’re all so different, and the quirky ones are just entertaining.

I don’t have the money to buy the un-difficult ones, so I thrive with the difficult ones.”

Suppenkasper 2008 brown 18-hand Dutch Warmblood gelding

Owner: Four Winds Farm LLC, Los Gatos, California Rider: Steffen Peters, San Diego, California 100 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

JENNIFER BRYANT

Colonel Thackeray Perpetual Trophy

W

ednesday is Weight Watchers day for Suppenkasper, who steps onto the scale for his weekly weigh-in. His ideal weight is about 1,490 to 1,500 pounds, and the numbers are closely monitored. The 18-hand Dutch Warmblood gelding has always fought the battle of the bulge—so much so that that it led to his nickname, coined by former rider Helen Langehanenberg of Germany.

“The German word mops is actually for a person or an animal that’s rather heavy-set,” explains current rider Steffen Peters. “When Helen had the horse, and after he had a two-week vacation in the paddock, she brought him in again to get to work, and she couldn’t find a girth to fit him. From that day, it was Mopsie. Mopsie is a little bit kinder version of mops.”

Mopsie may tend toward chubbiness, but he has endless energy. “It is incredible,” Peters says. “I never, ever have a day when he feels a little tired or is a little less motivated. It’s always the opposite.”

A bit of piaffe and passage gets some of the energy out of Mopsie’s system, after which Peters walks him until he relaxes and finally halts. If flying changes get Mopsie’s juices flowing, Peters takes him back to the walk

to chill out. The result: “I’m on him usually for an hour, but 35 to 45 minutes of that is easily walking, standing still, and practicing rein back.”

Peters calls Mopsie “the most generous, kind-hearted horse I’ve ever dealt with. To give you an idea, when we’re done riding, I have my fourwheeler parked outside the arena, and it has a cookie bucket in the back. I take the bridle off, and he stands still.

I take the saddle off and, when I tell him it’s OK to get his cookies, he does.

Now, the bridle is off and his saddle is off, and I take him to a little grassy area for another 10 minutes. And then slowly—it’s a very slow procedure with him, and lots of cookies on the way—back to the cross-ties and he has a bucket of water. “[USEF national dressage technical advisor] Debbie McDonald saw that while she was coaching here, and needless to say, I got in trouble.

‘We need this horse,’ she said. ‘And would you please put a halter on this horse?’ We compromised on a lead rope over his neck.”

Peters hopes that Mopsie’s gaits will help the US dressage team onto the Olympic medal podium in Tokyo this year.

“He’s gotten nines for the walk and nines for the trot and canter extensions,” the Olympic veteran reports. “On the flip side, I can col-

lect him very nicely. He’s gotten nine for canter pirouettes. The scores for piaffe/passage transitions are coming up eight.” And although Mopsie is a fireball in the arena, “there’s nothing pushy about him” on the ground.

“There’s nothing aggressive. He is just a little puppy dog—an 18-hand puppy dog.”

Owner Akiko Yamazaki of Four Winds Farm calls her latest Olympic hopeful a gentle giant. “He’s not clunky, but he’s a very, very tall horse. It can be rather intimidating when you are next to him because he’s so big, but he is the most humble horse, and he never thinks about putting down a wrong foot. I think that’s what makes him so special, because he is 120-percent honest.”

“What’s most fascinating for a really hot horse,” Peters says, is that “when you unload him at a really big show, such as in Rotterdam or in Aachen, where there is so much commotion going on, he could not be calmer. Horses are going crazy around him, and he just stands there and says, ‘Oh, it’s just another horse show, and it’s what we do.’ And then he turns into this firecracker when I ride him. I think it’s incredible.

Honestly, he is just an amazing, amazing horse.”

2019 Youth Recognition

EMILY MELCHER; COURTESY OF OLIVIA GRAY; COURTESY OF ROSE KELLER

Youth Volunteer of the Year

Ruby Tevis is the 2019 Youth Volunteer of the Year. Ruby is a member of the Kentucky Dressage Association (KDA) and, in 2018, she received the KDA “Merry Sunrise Award,” which is presented to the youth member who has most significantly contributed to the organization through volunteerism.

In October 2018, she assumed the position of Junior/Young Rider Representative on the KDA Board of Directors, where she worked to form the recently launched KDA Youth Club. Since its launch, she has coordinated several educational club events, including a dinner with Lilo Fore and a discussion with the judges at a local ride-a-test program, where she asked them to share their perspective from C to the KDA Youth Club members.

Ruby also serves as co-editor of the KDA newsletter Impulsion, in which she created the feature called “Youth Salute,” which recognizes the achievements of a KDA youth member and introduces them to the community. As a sophomore marketing major at Midway University, Ruby’s studies have equipped her with social media skills that she has used to restore their KDA Instagram page, which has doubled in followers since

she took responsibility for the account. She has also promoted KDA and the KDA Youth Club through USDF’s new publication website YourDressage, sharing a how-to guide for starting a youth club with other GMOs. USDF Youth Programs Committee Chair Roz Kinstler adds, "Ruby Tevis is a great example of what volunteering is all about.

Clearly she is passionate about dressage and has found a perfect way to both enjoy the sport and ensure a bright future in it. It's very rewarding to those of us who have been involved in it for a long time, and still love it, to see a youth member have the same commitment.

Because of her efforts, USDF is in good hands and guaranteed a great future."

Last year, Olivia competed at the Great American Insurance Group/ USDF Regional Championships and was a USDF Dressage Seat Medal Semi-Finalist. Olivia was unable to compete this season with her mare, Diva Millenia, who has been off with a suspensory injury. During this time, she has found other ways to bond with her horse but hopes to get back to full training soon. Olivia is a weekly volunteer at her church for an organization called Awana, where she leads a small group of 3rd Grade students. Other activities Olivia enjoys include fashion designing and running, and she completed a half marathon last fall. Olivia is very excited to be attending her first USDF Convention and is looking forward to learning more about her sport of dressage.

Youth Convention Scholarship Winners

Olivia Gray, Barrington, IL, is 16 years old and a junior in high school. She has been riding for seven years and has competed through Third Level. This will be Olivia’s third year of participating in the USEF Lettering Program and she has received her Second Level Rider Performance Award.

Rose Keller, Norwich, VT, has been in love with horses for as long as she can remember. She got her first horse, a gray (but often yellow) quarter horse, at thirteen through the generosity of Make-A-Wish Vermont. It was a long time in the making. (If anyone’s curious, she can still recite the theme songs to My Little Pony, Horseland, and The Saddle Club). That same mud-loving gelding took her to her first dressage show in 2016. Since then, her

USDF CONNECTION | March/April 2020

245

love for dressage has only grown.

From Intro division champion at Lendon’s Youth Festival, to her transition to boarding school in the hills of Putney, Vermont, to her international debut at the North American Youth Championships, horses have had a permanent, influential role in Rose’s life. Currently, she is blessed to call eleven-yearold KWPN gelding Dievittorio O, her dance partner. “Diego,” as he is affectionately known, is the epitome of schoolmaster. He has brought Rose from First Level to the FEI Junior Level, has earned Rose her USDF Bronze medal, and carried her around her first CDI competition, all within the first seven months of 2019. For the 2020 season, Rose has hopes to adventure into uncharted territory for them both: the FEI Young Riders. During the rare moments when she’s not at the barn, she can be found working on college applications, baking, writing, or attempting to figure out astrophotography. Rose is humbled and honored to have been chosen for the Convention Scholarship, and she is endlessly grateful to USDF for making this incredible educational opportunity financially accessible to youth riders across the nation.

Savana Garvey, Dallas, TX started riding lessons when she was six. In July 2015, her parents bought Madoc Golden Graham. Soon

after, she started Dressage lessons with Becky Brown. In July of 2017, her family hauled to Lexington, Kentucky for the National Dressage Pony Cup. Graham and she were so excited to win Junior Training level, 16 and under. In September 2017, her parents bought Fierro L’Oasis. The 2018 Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Championships was an exciting competition for them both. Sbe placed 6th in the First Level Jr/ YR division, 8th in the GAIG Open First Level Freestyle, and 3rd in SWDC Open First Level Freestyle.

In December, she traveled with her instructor for a clinic with Debbie Bowman. That Spring she went to a clinic with Lendon Gray, through Dressage 4 Kids. In the beginning of May her and Fierro went to a clinic with George Williams and by the end of May she was able to receive my final Third Level scores to earn her USDF Bronze Medal. Fierro now has a new home and her and Don Larson have a new relationship together as a team. In September Don Larson and she did a clinic with Robert Dover and established a solid base. Soon after they attended a Janet Foy clinic. Most recently she showed Don Larson at Third Level Test 1 and scored a 74.05% (also scoring a 65.56% in the Third Level Test 3). They were also Reserve Champions in the USDF Dressage Seat Medal Semi-Finals in the 13 and Under division.

Sophia Chavonelle, Windham, ME, is a nineteen-year-old rider who has been actively involved in dressage since she was thirteen.

Competing in local and regional shows throughout her High School years, Sophia earned her USDF Bronze Medal as well as several Regional Championship and New England Dressage Association Year-End placings aboard DeJure, owned by Sophia’s coach Tanya Rennie. Her favorite accomplishment, however, was being awarded the USDF’s 2016 Youth Volunteer

246 March/April 2020 | USDF CONNECTION

of the Year, an annual award recognizing the volunteerism of young riders around the country. Sophia worked hard to graduate high school early in order to become a full-time working student and focus on training her new horse, W Spotlight, a 2008 Westphalian gelding (Sir Donnerhall). It was with Spotlight that Sophia secured a spot on the Region 8 Junior team for the 2018 North American Youth Championships. Competing at the NAYC allowed Sophia to experience the camaraderie of working with a team and enhanced her desire to one day be a U.S. team rider. This past summer, thanks to the Dressage Foundation, Sophia opened her eyes to a whole new level of competitive team riding at CHIO Aachen. In addition to her elite sport goals, Sophia enjoys contributing to the actions behind the scenes of the USDF. This will be her fourth year attending the Annual Convention and she hopes to attend many more in the future.

My Dressage A Military Salute Competing in uniform proves a rewarding experience for a dressage rider

ast show season, I took the opportunity to enter the world of recognized dressage competition in a different way. For many riders, showing “recognized” is the ultimate challenge and test of their hard work. In addition to setting myself this goal, as someone

After my initial enlisted tour I joined the US Army Reserve, graduated from veterinary school, and rejoined the Army as an active-duty Veterinary Corps officer. My travels and career took off again, and horses remained mostly in the background.

I never even saw a horse during one year in Korea—and boy, was I sore the first day I rode after that tour! As time went by, and during my additional graduate education, I did find time to train a young horse and to take part in dressage schooling shows.

Now retired from a long military career, I can devote more time to dressage. I still take part in the schooling shows put on by my local USDF groupmember organization (GMO), the Maryland Dressage Association (MDA); but when I decided to try recogLOOKING SHARP: A crisp salute from the writer aboard her nized shows, I real2019 Adequan®/USDF American Haflinger Registry All-Breeds ized that I felt a little Training Level champion, A Golden Arrow “homesick” for the who has served in the armed forces, military.

felt a sense of pride.

For a brief moment during those salutes, I remembered that in years past, only military officers—meaning only men—were allowed to participate in international dressage competition, with the tests serving as a demonstration of their cavalry mounts’ skills and movements, so crucial for wartime maneuvers. Although dressage enthusiasts were happy to see those restrictions lifted, I feel a little sad that equestrian sport’s rich military tradition may be fading.

At my last show of the 2019 season, I gave my final salute, not only because it’s part of the dressage test, but also to recognize so many others.

I salute my family and friends for all their support and encouragement. I salute the volunteers at USDF and its GMOs, particularly “my” GMOs, the MDA and the Potomac Valley Dressage Association. I fondly salute the American Haflinger Society for the opportunity to ride this truly noble breed. I salute the USDF for giving us all the opportunity to show and engage all riders from all walks of life to compete. I salute my fellow competitors, trainers, and clinicians for your hard work and devotion to the sport of dressage. Most important, I salute my fellow veterans, activeduty military members, and their families for their undying devotion and sacrifices to this country.

Lt. Col. Carol Bossone (USA, Ret.), DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVPM, lives on a farm in Pylesville, Maryland, with Archer; her Friesian Sport Horse, Orion; and her Canadian, Onyx. She works as a veterinarian at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
