Inside USDF Ideas for Growth The sport of dressage is far from stagnant. From suggested competition changes to a big shift for para-dressage, there’s lots to weigh in on in the year ahead.

T

he 2023 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention, held November 29-December 2 in Omaha, Nebraska, was reminiscent of bygone conventions. Many attending enjoyed the benefits of being at an in-person convention, especially the opportunity to reconnect with fellow dressage enthusiasts. “Thinking out of the box” conversations happened spontaneously in meeting rooms, hallways, and of course in the hotel bar!

Here are some of the news highlights from Omaha.

Should dressage institute a “mature rider” competition division? In one regional meeting, I sat in on discussions regarding two suggestions pertaining to dressage competition that have been making the rounds of the dressage community: that a “mature rider” division be added, and that sitting trot be made optional through Fourth Level.

The idea of creating a “mature” division was originally brought forward in 2019, when some USDF members circulated a proposal for a “55+ Master/Senior Adult Amateur Division.” In the face of pandemic-related challenges, however, the concept seemingly was forgotten. But just prior to the 2023 convention, a USDF member contacted the USDF Executive Board about the possibility of a division for an “older” age group.

As someone who is comfortably in that age bracket, I can legitimately ask: At what age would a rider be eligible to compete in such a division? If 60 is the new 40 and 70 is the new 50, where does “older” begin? At the board meeting

held during convention, someone pointed out that dressage shows are allowed to offer other divisions, and so perhaps interest could be gauged through shows’ offering a division for an older age group.

Should sitting trot be optional through Fourth Level? Similarly, the board felt that the concept of making sitting trot optional through Fourth Level could be field-tested at schooling shows.

Both of the above suggestions are big ideas. One could be a large undertaking with costs involved, and the other could be a major change in how we approach dressage. In my opinion, before we go all in toward instituting these changes, they need to be tried first with some type of pilot program.

USDF poised to become official US para-dressage affiliate organization. Last summer, the current US Equestrian (USEF) national para-dressage affiliate organization, the US Para-Equestrian Association (USPEA), requested that USDF take over the role of para-dressage affiliate. The USPEA intends to transition to functioning solely

6 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

as a fundraising organization for para-equestrians.

These changes would follow the global trend over the past several years—by both the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) and other national federations—of bringing para-equestrians increasingly under the umbrella of their respective disciplines. Integrating para-dressage with able-bodied dressage makes sense and is a natural step forward for our sport.

As the official US Equestrian affiliate for dressage, USDF is the obvious home.

The USDF Executive Board has blessed this change in concept.

USDF executive director Stephan Hienzsch and I have met with USEF personnel to discuss some of the broader-picture issues, such as governance representation, committee structure, affiliate agreements, and areas of responsibility.

To be clear: Regarding international para-dressage competition, the model would be as it is today.

Athletes involved in the Olympic movement, US Olympic and Paralympic Committee compliance, and those types of responsibilities would continue to fall to the USEF as the US national governing body for equestrian sport.

Since the convention, the USDF has formed a Para Affiliate Assimilation Task Force. The members are charged with looking at how to best assimilate para-dressage into our USDF governance structure.

The task force will work closely with the USDF Bylaws Committee and will continue talks with USEF CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Inside USDF CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 to make whatever amendments to the affiliate agreement are deemed necessary. We are moving forward with the concept of having paradressage come under the umbrella of USDF as the recognized USEF affiliate for dressage. We anticipate that the process will take approximately one year, with the expectation of bringing it to the USDF Board of Governors at this year’s convention.

USDF judge education introduces new initiative. During the 2023 convention, a Judge Education Initiative Workshop was held for the stakeholders involved in judge education (including the USDF L Education Program) to introduce a new initiative with the working title of—you guessed it—Judging Education Project. This new venture will enhance our judge-education programs through greater use of virtual and in-person technological

capabilities offered through Black Horse One. An exciting aspect of this project—and one with a more direct benefit to USDF members—is that it will have funding support from The Dressage Foundation’s (TDF) Mary Anne and Walter McPhail Judge Education Fund. Mary Anne is a USDF Member of Distinction, a retired FEI dressage judge, a highperformance horse owner, a former competitor, and a major friend of dressage.

As part of USDF’s agreement with TDF and the Mary Anne and Walter McPhail Judge Education Fund, USDF will make three to four online educational modules available to our membership. These modules are designed to help non-judges to understand the judging process and judging methodology, to gain a better understanding of what judges are looking for in specific movements, and to help facilitate communication between judges and USDF members. A big thank-you to TDF and especially to Mary Anne and Walter McPhail: The Judging Education Project is a great example of what we can do when we all work together.

Safe Sport and GMOs. One of the more important educational sessions at the convention was geared toward USDF’s groupmember organizations (GMOs). The objective of the GMO Safe Sport Forum was to create awareness among GMO officials and members of Safe Sport-related risk factors connected to sports clubs, and to offer strategies on managing these risk factors through learning about industry best-practice standards.

The intent of the forum was not to scare GMOs, but rather to raise awareness of potential liability issues to help guide GMOs in their decision-making processes in today’s environment.

Dues increase approved.

Increased operating costs are a fact of life in today’s world, and one of

8 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

the USDF Executive Board’s most unpleasant responsibilities is having to request that the USDF Board of Governors (BOG) approve an increase in USDF membership dues.

Depending on the membership category, it has been five or seven years since the last increase. As we all know, the cost of just about everything has increased in recent years. In order for the USDF to not only continue offering its current programs but also to implement improvements, a dues increase was necessary. In the end, after much debate, the BOG did approve the requested increases. I know I speak for the board and the USDF staff when I say that we appreciate how this might affect our members, and we do not take the need for increases in fees and dues lightly.

The BOG is also tasked with approving the annual USDF budget.

Over the years I have learned not to take anything for granted, and so it is with the budget, which was approved for the next fiscal year.

Now we can look forward to forging ahead.

Introducing the 2024 USDF at-large directors. On the election front, 2023 was the year for the election of USDF’s three council chairs, who serve as at-large directors on the USDF Executive Board. Congratulations and welcome (or welcome back) to Activities Council ALD Sue Mandas, Administrative Council ALD Anne Snipes Moss, and Technical Council ALD Sue McKeown.

In its meetings, the Executive Board appointed the chairs of USDF’s committees and working groups. The complete list can be found on the USDF Website.

Saddle up for Houston. The 2024 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention is scheduled for December 5-8 in Houston, Texas. I hope to see you there!

Ringside Recognition of Excellence Awards shows are boring? Not if you’re the honoree

especially during the presentations of such extra-special honors as the USDF Lifetime Achievement Award and USDF Member of Distinction award. Like many previous honorees, 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Sally Davenport flew family members in for the big moment, because sharing such an achievement with loved ones makes it even more memorable. In a bittersweet twist, 2023 Member of Distinction Brook Irving-Martz was too ill to attend, so her daughter and sister accepted the award on her behalf.

I got a lump in my throat watching someone FaceTime the presentation so the honoree could watch from home. It was yet another reminder of how important these moments are to the recipients. A brief moment on stage that others in the audience will forget before the evening ends will be remembered by that person most likely forever.

(For our coverage of the 2023 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention, go to page 54.)

Recognizing dressage excellence is part of USDF’s mission, and it goes beyond test scores.

That’s why I encourage you to

10 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

acquaint yourself with the many additional forms of recognition that USDF offers, especially the ones that require deserving members to be nominated.

Annual nomination deadlines are approaching for USDF Lifetime Achievement Awards, USDF Member of Distinction awards, and the Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame. So are deadlines for the USDF Volunteer and Youth Volunteer of the Year awards.

USDF annually recognizes a GMO Volunteer of the Year in each of USDF’s nine regions. These local heroes are the backbones of our sport, and sometimes there are no nominations at all in a region! We must show our appreciation to the drivers of our sport. I know, I know, they’re not in it for the glory, but recognition goes a long way toward making volunteers feel as if their contributions are valued.

If you know someone who’s a standout in their corner of the dressage world, please consider honoring their contributions by taking the time to submit a nomination. You’ll find criteria and nomination information for all awards and honors on the USDF website, usdf.org. Thanks for doing your part to give deserving USDF members a chance at a memory they’ll never forget.

I

n Atlanta 1996, I attended my first Olympic Games. The leadup to a competition of this magnitude is huge for all involved— none more so, of course, than for the riders and horse owners, who had invested literally thousands of hours and dollars in getting to this particular sandbox for a few minutes in the ring.

For a select few, the event culminates in an experience most riders only dream of: participating in a medal ceremony. Until I saw a medal ceremony in person, I didn’t fully appreciate the brevity of the event. The TV cameras don’t capture the hurried manner in which the podiums are set up, or the fact that they’re whisked away before the last of the spectators has even left the stadium, with ring crews busily dragging and resetting the arena for the next event. A few short minutes of glory and then it’s over, entered into the history books and with only photos and video footage to remind the competitors that it really happened.

Yet those minutes and images are priceless. It’s impossible to capture one’s struggles and sacrifices in a medal or a trophy or a plaque, but they’re all we get, and so those fleeting “15 minutes of fame” (more like 15 seconds sometimes) are cherished for a lifetime.

It’s not just Olympic medalists who achieve treasured moments, of course. I never tire of watching the award recipients at USDF’s Salute Gala and Annual Awards Banquet,

Dressage Pony Power Thank you for finally acknowledging the ponies! (“Sport Horse: Ponies: Not Just for Kids Any More,” January/February). I have been riding and competing my 14.1-hand Westfalen Sport Pony, Clooney AT, for 10 years. We have won numerous competitions—and yes, there were more than two horses in the class. My trainer has ridden him in CDIs and placed second behind Olympic horses. I have even started a business to help others like me find bridles and saddle pads that fit ponies correctly.

I have heard all the things: “Is that a pony?” “Why is a pony in this class?” “Ponies are evil!” I just stay quiet and think, “Oh, he is going to beat your horse,” and he usually does.

Judges have been very supportive.

When we first came out, judges would ask me to come forward after our test so they could ask me questions about Clooney. They were all actually thrilled to see a pony competing.

Trainers have been more challenging; they want the big ones or say they are too big for a pony. I think they feel they will look “less” in the ring. And in California there are not as many ponies as in other states.

Clooney is very smart. He is so much fun to ride. He always goes forward. I would not give up my pony for anything. He will be 19 soon, and we plan on finishing up this year at Prix St. Georges. He still has the strength, the health, and the movement that bigger horses lose at his age. (I, on the other hand, am aging out.)

I think everyone should try a pony. You never know: You might convert.

Consider Osteopathic Alternatives in Dealing with “Moody Mares” As a student of equine osteopathy, I am disappointed in your article on

12 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

so-called moody mares (“The End of the ‘Moody Mare’?”, January/ February).

In the absence of ovarian tumors or cancer, spaying a mare should not be considered a management solution—not when there are osteopathic alternatives to find out what may be causing the behavioral issue (for example, a tight or twisted ovary), to correct that issue, and to help the mare live a better life.

In addition, perhaps you could educate us on how to work around mares that are cycling and how to accommodate them during that time. It may mean adjusting our goals and schedules, but who are we really here for? I would suggest that if you truly want to educate and change practices in the health care of horses, in the future you include osteopathic, holistic, and alternative approaches rather than just allopathic veterinary medicine.

Collection HIGH PERFORMANCE

Barisone Released from Psychiatric Hospital Life is not yet entirely back to normal for dressage trainer Michael Barisone, but he is working on it.

After a saga that began in 2019 with a shooting and attempted-murder charge, then ran through jail time, a high-profile trial, and commitment to psychiatric institutions, a judge freed Barisone on November 17, 2023—with certain conditions.

Michael Barisone, who wore cowboy boots and a 10-gallon hat to his November 2023 court hearing, with his partner, Lara Osborne

In 2022, a jury in Morristown, New Jersey, found Barisone not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting of his student and tenant, Lauren Kanarek, after tension between them escalated to the breaking point. He has said he does not remember the incident. During the trial, Barisone’s lawyer asked Kanarek whether she was bent on destroying Barisone. She replied, “At some point, yes.”

It was high drama that became the subject of a CBS 48 Hours documentary; Netflix is preparing a production about the case. Barisone’s story captured widespread attention, and the 2008 US Olympic dressage team alternate has received 13,000 letters from all over the world.

Barisone eventually was sent to the state’s Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital. During the November hearing, members of his Greystone treatment team testified that he was not a danger to himself or others. Judge Stephen Taylor said that Barisone could be released from Greystone; but among other restrictions, he must receive regular

psychological treatment, can’t own firearms, and has to stay away from Kanarek. Barisone was due to have another hearing before the judge in February 2024.

Barisone’s Long Valley, New Jersey, farm, where the shooting took place, has been sold. He still owns a farm in White Fences near Wellington, Florida, where his partner, Lara Osborne, is based. Barisone has several horses there being ridden by his former employee Justin Hardin, but Barisone himself hasn’t ridden since his release because he is not allowed to leave New Jersey. He also remains under suspension from SafeSport and has a team of lawyers working on that issue.

The newly freed man is enjoying human contact, noting that “for almost three years, I never even got to hold somebody’s hand or hug somebody.

When they visited me in jail, it was behind a glass wall.” At press time, Barisone was living in a home belonging to a loyal client of 27 years.

When we talked to Barisone, he was busy writing a book. He has a literary agent, tries to run five miles a day, and is cleaning up his car collection. Looking back on everything that happened, he called it “a tragedy all the way around for many, many people.”

“This process was awful,” he said, but “I learned a great deal about what is important and what is not important.

I learned the importance of the simple things we take for granted.” He added that “I could never have survived this if it wasn’t for so many people who put their heart into it and really cared about it.”

Barisone says that he dreams about riding and competing again, but adds that he will look on the process differently when that happens.

It won’t be to prove something, he says.

“Now,” he explained, “I want to do it for the love of the game.”

USEF Updates Dressage “Pipeline” Programs Coaching Structure After many years of service as US Equestrian’s (USEF) national dressage assistant youth coach and later as THE PARIS CHEF: Newly appointed USEF national its develdressage development opment coach Christine Traurig will coach, be ringside at the 2024 CaliforniaOlympics based Olympian Charlotte Bredahl is stepping down April 1. Taking the reins as development coach will be the current national dressage younghorse coach, fellow Californian and Olympian Christine Traurig, USEF announced January 4.

Traurig will also serve as chef d’équipe for the 2024 US Olympic dressage team. She will “be taking a more active role in the development program as we increase focus to our home Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California, in 2028,” said USEF’s director of FEI sport, Hallye Griffin.

Current USDF president George Williams will remain in his position as USEF’s dressage high-performance and pathway-development advisor and youth coach.

In its press release, USEF stated that the changes are part of a planned restructuring of its dressage coaching structure. The federation plans to “continue to strengthen coaching support through the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games with the appointment of additional coaches and educational opportunities to support across the programs.”

DRESSAGE AT LARGE

OLYMPIC GAMES Ooh La La! US Dressage Pairs with Rapper Megan Thee Stallion for Fiery Paris Promo If you tuned in to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or the Thanksgiving Day NFL football game, NBC’s latest commercial promoting the Paris 2024 Olympic Games may have caught your attention.

US EQUESTRIAN PHOTOS

GREEN SCREEN, CAMERA, ACTION: The NBC TV crew films a horse and rider in front of a green screen in Ashley Holzer’s covered arena in Florida

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion stars alongside six US dressage athletes and their horses, performing piaffe, passage, and canter pirouettes in front of a (green-screened) Palace of Versailles. The shoot for the riding sequence took place at Olympian Ashley Holzer’s farm in Wellington, Florida, a few weeks before the commercial aired.

NBCUniversal, which holds the 2024 Olympics broadcast rights for the US, contacted US Equestrian (USEF) for assistance in making the promo spot. Holzer offered her facility for the shoot, and a 60-member NBC crew was on site for three days. Holzer’s covered arena was rigged with cameras, lights, and a large green screen.

For the approximately three-hour shoot, six well-known riders and their mounts performed individually and as a group in front of the green screen: Holzer on Valentine, Katherine Bateson-Chandler on

GOLDEN MOMENT: Holzer and Valentine dressed for the shoot in special gold tack and spray-painted riding helmet

Grand Charmeur, Anna Buffini on Beach Boy, Susie Dutta on Don Design DC, Laura Graves on SenSation FOD, and Kasey Perry-Glass on Heartbeat W.P. The athletes wore their Charles Ancona team shadbellies topped by helmets spray-painted gold. The horses were bedecked with gold-colored ear bonnets, bridles, boots, bell boots, and saddle pads. Helmets and tack

were provided by Charles Owen and SmartPak. Holzer called the finished commercial the product of “an amazing editing job” that included some impressive special effects.

Although Megan Thee Stallion appears to be dancing with the combinations, the rap star’s portions were filmed separately.

“We had such a great time as a group of riders doing it together,” said Holzer of the shoot. “It is just fun to do something different and not be at a horse show competing.”

She called the Olympics promo spot a significant moment for dressage and equestrian sport, saying, “I think it was so great for our sport to actually be called on to do this commercial. I’m so grateful to NBC for including us and to the staff there who were so understanding of the horses. It was a really fun day of shooting. NBC’s crew made it a really great experience.”

FINANCIAL AID

With inaugural $25,000 Debbie McDonald Fund grant recipient Lindsey Holleger unable to use the funding, The Dressage Foundation (TDF) in December announced that it has awarded the grant to Nicholia “Niki” Clarke.

NEW AWARDEE: McDonald Fund grant recipient Niki Clarke

Clarke operates Unlimited Dressage in Hamilton, Montana; Wellington, Florida; and Scottsdale, Arizona. She planned to use the funding to train with Olympian Debbie McDonald, primarily with Komsi Komsa, an eight-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Apache x Osmium) that she co-owns with the Komsi Komsa Syndicate.

The Debbie McDonald Fund provides funding for high-level training to horse/rider pairs who are training at Prix St. Georges or higher, who show potential to succeed at the FEI levels, and who may not otherwise have the opportunity for the training.

TDF (DressageFoundation. org) in December also announced the awarding of $4,000 grants each to US dressage instructors Katie Bogaert, Ashley Minea, and Tanya Rennie from its Major Anders Lindgren Instructor Fund. Funded through the Carol Lavell Gifted Memorial Fund, Lindgren grants help enable dressage instructors to obtain continuing education that will

improve their teaching, riding, and training skills. They are named in memory of the late champion rider Maj. Anders Lindgren of Sweden, who was instrumental in educating early dressage instructors in the US and who was a strong advocate for instructor certification in this country.

Bogaert, Madison, Connecticut, began training and teaching about seven years ago. She teaches youth and adult riders at various levels.

She plans to trains with Sarah and Lee Tubman in Florida this winter.

Minea, Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, is a USDF-certified instructor through Second Level who works with riders of varying ages and levels. She will use the grant funding to train with Kasey Perry-Glass in Florida this winter.

Rennie, Gorham, Maine, has been a professional instructor since the late 1970s and offers a lesson program and full boarding and training services. She works with students at all levels. She plans to train with Kathy Connelly in Florida this winter.

GMO 2023 GMO Awards Roundup Recognizing outstanding GMOs and regional volunteerism Photographs by Jennifer O. Bryant

A

nnual awards recognize extraordinary volunteers in USDF’s nine regions as well as within USDF’s group-member organizations (GMOs). The 2023 Regional GMO Volunteer of the Year awards; the 2023 GMO photography, newsletter, and website awards; and the Creative GMO-Sponsored Program award were presented during the USDF Board of Governors (BOG) assembly at the 2023 Adequan®/ USDF Annual Convention in Omaha, Nebraska. Presenting the awards was USDF president George Williams.

South Dakota Dressage Association member Jen Lowe, of Newell, South Dakota, was the 2023 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.

Also recognized during the convention were four GMOs that celebrated their 50th anniversaries in 2023: Illinois Dressage and Combined Training Association, Kansas City Dressage Society, Nebraska Dressage Association, and Iowa Dressage and Combined Training Association.

Congratulations to all of the 2023 award winners!

Regional GMO Volunteers of the Year

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Celebrating their 50th anniversaries (along with the USDF) at the 2023 convention in Omaha were the Illinois Dressage and Combined Training Association, the Kansas City Dressage Society, the Nebraska Dressage Association, and the Iowa Dressage and Combined Training Association. A sign at the convention was displayed along with the tempting GMO baskets, like these from the Western New York Dressage Association and the Rocky Mountain Dressage Society.

The Regional GMO Volunteer of the Year award recognizes one GMO volunteer from each USDF region.

These committed individuals are among the backbones of USDF’s affiliated dressage clubs, and the awards recognize outstanding volunteer contributions at the local level.

US DRESSAGE FINALS

Triumphs and Tributes Mark US Dressage Finals’ 10th Anniversary Edition Swan song for Grand Prix champion RTF Lincoln; trainers and students share spotlight

BY ALICE COLLINS FOR JUMP MEDIA PHOTOGRAPHS BY SUSANJSTICKLE.COM

FAREWELL PERFORMANCE: After winning yet another year’s worth of Grand Prix-level US Dressage Finals championship titles, Heather Mason said her longtime partner RTF Lincoln would be retiring

32 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

I

t was an emotional end to one horse’s long and fruitful career at the top level at the 2023 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®, held November 9-12 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. Dressage pro Heather Mason retired her longtime partner RTF Lincoln—a horse she bought for one dollar—after securing victory in the Grand Prix Open Freestyle with a score of 74.942%. They also topped the previous day’s Grand Prix class with 69.203%.

The 2023 event was the tenth-anniversary edition of the flagship national show. Competitors qualify via the Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Championships in nine USDF regions, and the show offered more than $120,000 in prize money.

All eyes in the Alltech Arena indoor sports arena were on “Lincoln” as he performed his ultra-difficult freestyle for the final time. Mason began with a onehanded double pirouette on the first center line, following that up with 25 one-time changes on a curve before a piaffe fan and another one-handed double canter pirouette.

“I’m happy because he had two really good rides,” Mason said of her horse, “and it’s nice to go out while he’s strong. I finally let him do what he’s always wanted to do in the prize-giving, which is run. I’ve never done that before because he gets really hot and then I’m worried about the next test, but not this time. He’s really been amazing.”

Mason, of Lebanon, New Jersey, bought Lincoln as a foal from his breeder, Cornell University in New York.

She sold him when he was three but kept in touch with the buyer. When Lincoln injured first one front tendon and then the other, and then the owner had to have a double hip operation, Mason bought him back for a dollar.

“I knew he was good at shows, and I didn’t know what else he was going to do—sit in a field for the rest of his life? I wanted to give him a chance,” Mason explained. “He’s proven that a difficult horse with soundness and ridability issues can actually do a lot.”

The busy Mason brought two other horses to Finals and earned a remarkable seven championship titles across all her rides. Five came thanks to her talented pair of six-year-old geldings, one with Manuskript SCF (Fourth Level Open) and four with Shmoky Quartz, who was undefeated with scores all over 71%.

Mason bought Shmoky Quartz (by Shakespeare RSF) from his breeder, Maurine “Mo” Swanson, co-own-

er of Rolling Stone Farm in Pennsylvania. The rider/ trainer called “Smoky” “extra supple and elastic. He’s developed a lot and is now starting to find the next gear.”

(For more about Smoky, who also notched the 2023 Adequan®/USDF Second Level Horse of the Year title, turn to page 78.)

Students Follow in Trainers’ Footsteps

Mason’s adult-amateur pupil Alexandra Krossen emulated her coach, picking up the First and Second Level AA Freestyle championship titles on her own Looker SCF. The senior pharmaceutical-company manager bred “Looker,” who is now seven, as a custom foal. Krossen rode the horse’s sire, Zulft SCF (by Ulft); when they lost him to colic, she used some of his frozen semen that had been collected before he was gelded.

“This horse is definitely a special one for me,” said Krossen, who cross-trains Looker to keep him keen. “He grew up at Heather’s. I broke him and did everything with him. He’s seventeen hands and gangly and has a lot of movement that we don’t always know how to control.

I was concerned about going into the atmosphere of the Alltech [Arena], but he exceeded my expectations.”

Trainer Angela Jackson scooped a title on Ella Fruchterman’s horse Holts Le’Mans, while her student Bridgid Browne fended off a quality field in her Finals debut. Jackson has taken over the reins of the 12-yearold Holts Le’Mans to give the horse exposure at small tour and took the win in the Intermediate I Freestyle Open with 73.175%.

Fruchterman’s family bought Holts Le’Mans (by L’Espoir) sight unseen from Denmark during the pandemic, and she has been tremendously successful with him.

“Today he was really ready to go,” said the Kentuckybased Jackson. “He even wanted to go bigger; he shows up and wants to be there for you. He can do the ones and is learning piaffe and passage,” she added. “I think he’ll make a good Grand Prix horse.”

Browne, 26, could not stop smiling after topping the Fourth Level Open Freestyle Championship field on her horse of a lifetime, Karina Sandra TF, whom she bought as a foal.

“I love this mare with my whole heart,” enthused Browne of her 15.2-hand mare by Fiderbach. “I was refreshing the results over and over again because there were a lot of really competitive, good riders in there.

“We’ve polished things up with Angela via video lessons,” said Browne, who scored 72.492% to music from USDF CONNECTION | March/April 2024

SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST: Last to go in a field of 21, Lauren Chumley and Leeloo Dallas claimed the Prix St. Georges Open Championship title

BEDAZZLED: Dazzle, ridden by Anartz Chanca, won the Grand Prix and GP Freestyle Adult Amateur championship titles

Mamma Mia! put together by Kristin Wasemiller-Knutson. “‘Shrimpy’ really let me push her through the test. It felt so flowing, and she trusted me in the huge atmosphere.

She’s never seen anything like it.”

A former professional rider, Browne now works in medicaldevice sales. She keeps Shrimpy at a nearby farm, where the eight-yearold lives with a mini companion, Chocolate.

Additional trainer/pupil combinations all picking up champion’s

sashes were Lauren Chumley and her students Taiwan “Tai” Parrish and Meghan Richards. Chumley was the last to go in the five-hour Prix St. Georges Open Championship on the American-bred Leeloo Dallas (Gaspard de la Nuit DG x Negro).

The seven-year-old—equal youngest of the 21 starters—swept in to land the only score over 70%.

“I had a super-lucky draw spot, and my horse is freaking awesome,” said Chumley, who trains with Hilltop Farm head trainer Michael

34 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

Bragdell and who also is an eventer.

“I bought her as a foal because she was little and black with four white socks and I could afford her. She one hundred percent has the ability for Grand Prix; most importantly, she’s got the brain,” added Chumley, of Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

Parrish and his Finals mount, Chumley’s Sandro Hit gelding Saracchi, are the same age. The two 18-year-olds claimed the Fourth Level Junior/Young Rider Championship on 69.637%.

Parrish has been helping at Chumley’s barn since he was 14.

When the trainer offered him the ride on Saracchi, Parrish decided to switch from jumping to dressage.

Richards has also switched saddles—in her case, from hunter/ jumper to dressage. On their fourth visit to Finals, she and Kingstown (El Capone x United) finally bagged a champion’s sash, scoring 68.284% to top the Intermediate I Adult Amateur ranks. Richards has owned the eight-year-old KWPN gelding since buying him from a video when he was three.

“This has been a great year for him,” said Richards, who runs Magnolia Creek Stables in Pittstown, New Jersey. “He was a little spooky in some spots, but it was mostly in the corners and didn’t hurt us too much.”

Living up to Their Names Three auspiciously named Finals competitors each found success in Kentucky.

Anartz Chanca’s mount Dazzle did just that, winning both the Grand Prix Adult Amateur and the GP Freestyle AA championship titles. Chanca also captured the Third Level AA tricolor on his own Dante Rubin MR.

Of his freestyle performance, Chanca said: “We had a mistake in the one-tempis, but I had a reserve line and I knew I had to risk it, so I went one-handed to compensate for the mistake.” His strategy paid off, with one judge commenting on his “courageous riding.”

Dante Rubin, a six-year-old by Dante Weltino, was the youngest horse in the field of 18. Five years ago, Chanca and his wife, Marta Renilla, imported six yearlings from Europe that grew up on the family’s farm in Texas. One of those was Dante Rubin, and another, D Diamond MR, was also in winning form. Under Ellie Strickland, the Oldenburg son of D’Egalite won the First Level Junior/Young Rider championship with 69.444%.

The very appropriately named Bonnie Canter romped her way to three titles and a reserve on her horses Vitali and Super Susie.

The petite 65-year-old retiree was unbeaten on Super Susie, racking up the First and Second Level AA titles, both with plus-70% scores.

On Vitali, Canter won the Fourth Level AA title on 71.065% and was reserve champion in the AA Prix St. Georges.

Vitali, who is by the Vitalis son Vilancio, is no stranger to Finals, having won at Second Level two years ago. Since then, Canter has relocated from Texas to Melrose, Florida, and added the five-year-old Super Susie to her string.

“It’s such a buildup to Finals, and there are so many good horses in Region 3, so you just never know how it’s going to play out,” said Canter, who bought both horses sight unseen from Holland. “I’ve been working with [Spanish Olympic rider] Severo Jurado López. He’s my hero. It’s been a lucky year.”

CANTERING TO VICTORY: Fourth Level Adult Amateur champions and Prix St. Georges Adult Amateur reserve champions Bonnie Canter and Vitali

Cincinnati-based rider Jennifer Truett’s 2022 Intermediate I Open champion, Absolute Dream, is also aptly named. He seamlessly stepped up to claim the Intermediate II Open crown this year, topping the class with 68.235%.

“He came into the arena and puffed up but stayed with me. He’s so powerful and electric,” said Truett, who trains with Olivia LaGoyWeltz. “He was much more up in his chest and sitting powerfully with his loin and croup, and that’s really new for him.”

Truett bought the nine-year-old Westfalen gelding by All at Once from Reesink Horses as a two-yearold. She said she planned to spend the winter in Florida competing at the Developing Grand Prix level before heading home to prepare for a potential Grand Prix debut this summer.

“If I Could Clone Him, I Would” It was the very last combination down the center line in the Intermediate I Open championship class that snatched victory, with Taylor

Lindsten on Susan Skripac’s nineyear-old Georgian Grande stallion, Wallace G, proving the only combination to crack 70%.

“He showed up because he knew it was important, and he’s a showman,” enthused Lindsten, 30, who has developed Wallace G since he was five.

“At the lower levels, he wasn’t very successful because he’s so naturally high and tight in the neck,” said Lindsten, who runs Taylor Made Sport Horses in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Then at Fourth Level he started to show some great scores.

What helped was doing working equitation; we are hoping to go to the 2026 World Cup in Spain. He’s multitalented; if I could clone that horse, I would!”

Homebred Horse Power

Amy Swerdlin’s two homebreds garnered a host of sashes, with Fellowship CCW taking two wins and a second, and Quileute CCW standing reserve in the Grand Prix Adult Amateur Freestyle with 70.775%.

In the Fourth Level Freestyle AA, Fellowship pulled off a unanimous

74.583% victory, almost 5% clear of the field, with a program designed

by Marlene Whitaker. The eightyear-old, 17-hand, embryo-transfer Oldenburg gelding by Follow Me also topped the Prix St. Georges AA. “This was really special because I won at Finals with Fellowship’s mother, Scholastica,” said Swerdlin, of Wellington, Florida. “This was the

first time I’ve brought Fellowship, so it was fun to follow in her footsteps.”

De Niro Delivers The mega-producing sire De Niro accounted for three more of the winning horses. AA rider Rebecca Lord and the 14-year-old Hanoverian Demetrius were unbeatable in the Intermediate II AA Championship with 67.304%.

Lord had a 31-year break from riding but at 49 felt compelled to pick it up again, taking an extended sabbatical from her work as a medical intuitive. She trains with Franziska Seidl and Alex Robertson.

“I work so hard to bring all the learning and knowledge and awareness together,” said Lord, 58, who bought Demetrius in 2020. “This win was a reflection of the road of progress that ‘Demi’ and I are on.

I’m a quintuple-A-type person and you have to be patient [with horses], so the learning curve has been Mount Everest.”

Jenna Butler’s six-year-old De Niro son Da Vinci HSR triumphed in the First Level Freestyle Open with 74.769%. Butler, 25, has known the Oldenburg gelding since he was

HOME TIES: Amy Swerdlin previously won at Finals with her mare Scholastica. In 2023, Swerdlin returned with Scholastica’s son, Fellowship CCW, to claim the Fourth Level Freestyle and Prix St. Georges Adult Amateur championships.

LLC’s talented five-year-old, Supersonic, was rewarded with the First Level Open Championship tricolor on 73.843%.

“I’m so happy he pulled off one of his best performances here,” said the Pennsylvania-based dressage pro, who found the horse in Germany as a three-year-old. “It’s a bit intimidating having one this good; he’s as good as the best horses in Europe.”

Tyra Vernon’s five-year-old Secret gelding, Sandor ASH, landed the Training Level Jr/YR trophy with 72.933% under Florida-based rider Hannah Catsulis.

The third winner by Secret at the 2023 Finals was Bonnie Canter’s five-year-old mare, Super Susie.

“Like Riding a Couch”

VICTORY SALUTE: Lyndsey Bailey’s mother, a fellow dressage rider, died in 2019. In 2023, Bailey dedicated her Intermediate I Freestyle Adult Amateur victory aboard Kasparov Toja to her mom’s memory.

just backed, when she landed the ride while working for Illinois-based dressage pros Kate and Martin Kuhn. After leaving their barn and setting up her own business, she was able to buy Da Vinci.

“He’s very hot and sensitive, so it’s been about bringing that out in a positive way,” said Butler, who still trains with Kuhn, usually virtually.

“He’s got a super work ethic, but he’s a major pistol of a horse, and he’s taught me a lot about being sensitive.”

Laurie Saldana-Rich’s lastminute decision to alter her freestyle floor plan paid dividends. She and her De Niro mare, Straight Horse De Milla, topped the Third Level Freestyle AA for the second successive year. Their 70.492% performance to a freestyle created by Cynthia Collins put them 3% clear of the reserve champion.

“It was a similar freestyle to last year, except Jennifer [Conour, with whom she trains] had me change the ending and do a circle of changes,” said Saldana-Rich, 56, who winters in Florida with George Williams. “I hadn’t done that until this show, so I tried it in the warmup

and thought, ‘OK, I’m just going to go for it.’”

De Milla, the “perfect amateur horse,” came from Helgstrand in Wellington three years ago. Two embryo-transfer foals out of the nine-year-old mare, both by Glamourdale, are due this year when Saldana-Rich returns to her Indiana farm.

Continuing the Legacy In the Intermediate I Freestyle AA championship, the top three all finished within 0.1% of one another.

Lyndsey Bailey came out on top, riding her 18.1-hand, 13-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding, Kasparov Toja (by Vivaldi), to 69.858%.

“The feeling when you’re on him is that you can reach the stars. My mom was a dressage rider, and she passed away in 2019; this is me carrying on her legacy,” said a tearful Bailey, who runs a feed and tack store in New York. “This was for her.”

Bailey credits much of her success to trainer Wendi Schnittjer.

“She’s been with me every step of this journey,” Bailey said. “At five a.m. we’re out there riding, and I’m on eastern Long Island, so this time

“The best baby horse ever!” was Emma Batchelder’s assessment of her Training Level AA champion, Eminem (by Escolar). Batchelder bought him at the Hanoverian Elite Auction in 2022.

“He’s been a total love and a trouper,” enthused the Florida-based nurse anesthetist. “He’s just a really smart, brave boy. He listened and was so supple in the test. He’s totally comfortable and easy to sit. It’s like riding a couch.”

Another horse taking in a big atmosphere with aplomb was the seven-year-old Valor, who won the Training Level Open Championship with 72.867% under Jennifer Roth.

“He handled the atmosphere very bravely; he’s never been to any venue like this, so I was thrilled,” said Roth, of Columbus, Ohio. “I’ve given him extra time to mature as he’s a bigmoving horse. I called him a spider on roller skates because it took him years to figure out where his legs were.”

T

he USDF didn’t plan to hold its 50th-anniversary celebration in Nebraska, but one modest silver lining to the pandemic event disruptions was that the 2023 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention wound up being staged in the state where USDF was founded, and where its headquarters were located for the organization’s first 26 years.

Omaha was supposed to have been the site of the 2020 convention. When that year’s in-person event (plus the 2021 convention) got scrapped, USDF set 2023 as the year for a makeup date in Nebraska’s biggest city. It was a happy accident: 2023 marked the 50th anniversary of USDF’s founding, spearheaded largely by the late Lowell Boomer. Boomer organized the founding meeting in his home city of Lincoln, Nebraska; until the organization relocated to Lexington, Kentucky, in 1999, its offices were housed at Boomer’s Printing Company in downtown Lincoln.

Archival photos, anniversary-themed swag bags— and cake, of course!—helped to make the 2023 convention a special one. USDF members, many of them delegates to USDF’s governing body, the USDF Board of Governors, convened at the downtown Hilton Omaha for the November 29-December 2 event. Besides the nostalgia and old black-and-white photos, there was the usual combination of governance meetings, forums, education sessions, and, of course, awards, ranging from recognition at the regional and USDF group-member organization (GMO) level up to national-level honors and annual achievements.

In his “Inside USDF” column on page 6, USDF president George Williams highlights the major happenings on the governance side. In this article, I’ll fill you in on other notable takeaways from the Omaha convention.

Special Honors

For many, the highlight of the convention is the presentation during the USDF Salute Gala & Annual Awards Banquet of special awards recognizing extraordinary contributions to USDF and the sport of dressage in the US. Receiving the USDF Lifetime Achievement Award for her many national-level volunteer contributions to the USDF was Sally Davenport, of Scituate, Massachusetts. The 2013 USDF Volunteer of the Year, the diminutive Davenport has made outsized contributions to the USDF and the sport, from chairing the USDF Technical Delegates Committee to organizing countless programs for the New England Dressage Association (NEDA) and USDF CONNECTION | March/April 2024

serving as a dressage TD and an FEI dressage and para-dressage steward at numerous competitions.

Brook Irving-Martz and Beth Jenkins each were recognized as USDF Members of Distinction. This fairly recently created award honors those members who have made outstanding contributions to dressage on a regional level.

Irving-Martz, of Gig Harbor, Washington, has been a champion of youth dressage in USDF Region 6. She has served as an FEI North American Youth Championships (NAYC) chef d’équipe, a youth outreach clinician, and an FEI Young Rider regional coordinator, among others. A well-known dressage instructor/trainer, Irving-Martz has taken numerous students to the NAYC and the US Dressage Festival of Champions.

Jenkins, of Sherborn, Massachusetts, has for decades been a fixture in NEDA. The 2008 USDF Volunteer of the Year, she is that GMO’s longestserving officer, and she has managed many NEDA-run and USDF Region 8 shows that have been among the country’s largest. In addition to her roles in NEDA and as a dressage judge, instructor, and clinician, Jenkins served as the USDF vice president from 2010 to 2013.

Eleanor “Ellie” Brimmer was named the 2023 USDF Volunteer of the Year. Brimmer, a native of Minnesota who now lives in Wellington, Florida, bridges the dressage and para-dressage communities. She volunteers countless hours at dressage and para-dressage shows in Florida, and she herself is a longtime paradressage competitor who also serves as a para-dressage athlete representative for US Equestrian.

Featured Education: Biomechanics of the Horse’s Neck

P

ioneering equine-biomechanics researcher and USDF Connection contributing editor Dr. Hilary Clayton’s convention sessions are always well-attended and enlightening. In Omaha, she tackled the subject of equine neck biomechanics.

The horse’s head and neck, Clayton explained, function as a cantilevered beam—like a crane.

The structures are suspended by the dorsal musculature. The deep stabilizing muscles offer proactive support; the nuchal ligament gives passive support when it’s in tension; and the long mobilizing muscles (the semispinalis and the splenius) enable movement and give active support.

The topline muscles counteract the effects of gravity. “What we really want in our dressage horses,” Clayton said, “is to allow the topline muscles to act eccentrically to control the effects of gravity.”

Problems. Supporting those big necks and heads stresses the vertebrae. The lower cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae (C6, C7, and T1) are “likely to become arthritic because of supporting the weight of the head and neck,” Clayton said.

Having a long neck or a large head creates more leverage at the base of the neck and therefore more potential stress.

The facet joints between C6/C7, C7/T1, and T1/T2 have the highest incidence of facet arthritis, Clayton said, but “What I don’t understand at the moment is why we are seeing so much more of the problem. I recently saw a six-year-old with facet arthritis in every joint. It seems to be an increasing problem, and we don’t yet know the cause. Could it be genetics? We don’t know.”

The swelling and pain in the poll area (often on the left side) known to

old-time horsemen as poll evil is having a recurrence, said Clayton, and is showing up “in increasing numbers of dressage horses.” It can be a bursitis—an infection of the nuchal bursae—caused by the same infectious bacteria that cause brucellosis in other livestock as well as in humans.

Another problem associated with the nuchal-ligament insertion site is the formation of new bone, which a startling 85% of warmbloods show, according to Clayton. The bony formation is associated with trauma or “excessive lungeing in a restricted position.” Riding or lungeing a horse in a hyperflexed position stretches the nuchal ligament and exerts high pressure over the site of the nuchal bursa, she said. Affected horses may resist contact with the bit, rear, or be unwilling to lower their heads or to flex at the poll.

“Cresty-neck syndrome” is an actual genetic condition affecting 9% of Iberian horses, especially PREs,

males over six years of age, and grays, said Clayton. It may be related to, but is not the same as, other metabolic conditions. Riders and trainers of these horses need to understand that the neck muscles of affected horses “are not strong enough to support the neck in a longer frame.”

Although classical methods generally call for riding horses in a longer outline in the earlier stages of training, horses with cresty-neck syndrome “should be trained initially in a shorter frame until the neck muscles get stronger.”

Finally, the horse’s cervical vertebrae tell the tale of whether his poll is (correctly) the highest point or if he’s “poll low.” As Clayton explained, “between C2 and C3 is where we get into trouble—the so-called ‘broken at the third vertebra.’ On the bit brings up the second vertebra and creates a ‘shelf,’ with C1 and C2 horizontal. When a horse is poll-low, he is down at C2 and C3.”

counterpart in volunteer excellence.

The 2023 honoree, Alice Burley, of Atlanta, Georgia, has contributed to the USDF and dressage both nationally and locally. She manages to maintain a record of academic excellence while finding the time to both volunteer and compete in dressage, qualifying for the 2023 Great American/USDF Region 3 Championships at Third Level.

In the Room Where It Happens If you want to effect change in our sport, you’d be wise to attend the USDF convention. You can speak your mind in open forums and open meetings, agree or dissent with proposals on the floor of the Board of Governors assembly (only delegates

may vote, however), and buttonhole, well, pretty much anybody you encounter roaming the halls or relaxing over coffee or something stronger at day’s end. Here are some of my takeaways gleaned by sitting in the rooms where it all happened.

Rule changes. Snell-certified equestrian helmets have been added to the list of approved headgear in USEF-licensed/USDF-recognized dressage competition, said USEF Dressage Sport Committee members Lisa Gorretta and Janine Malone in the USEF/USDF Open Forum. Like the familiar ASTM, Snell (smf.org) is an international testing standard for protective headgear. Learn more at usef.org.

Safe Sport: Keep your (GMO’s) guard up. Feelings of familiarity and “we’ve never had a problem” run counter to the measures organizations, including USDF GMOs, need to take to help create what presenter Aaron Lundberg called “a culture of safety.” Lundberg, the president and CEO of Praesidium, an abuseprevention organization in Arlington, Texas, led the GMO Safe Sport Forum, in which he urged GMO leaders and USDF members to shake off any sense of complacency and move to “compliance” and then “commitment” to keeping members safe from abuse.

Organizations need to do background checks of coaches and others who have contact with minors, Lundberg said. “This is the accepted industry standard; organizations that don’t could be found negligent.”

GMOs, especially smaller ones, may lack the resources to hire lawyers to create Safe Sport policies, some GMO representatives pointed out. US Equestrian “can provide a model Safe Sport policy, including background checks and reporting

Youth Featured Education: Virtual Dressage Training on a Budget

F

EI-level dressage trainer and dressage and paradressage judge Kristi Wysocki readily admits she’s not super tech-savvy. Even though her intended audience—USDF youth members—is, they aren’t necessarily rolling in funds to purchase the latest and greatest remotecamera equipment to use for virtual dressage training. But not everybody lives in easy proximity to good instruction, and so there’s high demand for affordable workarounds. In her convention session, Wysocki, who’s based in Washington state, shared what she’s found works best.

For starters, the pricey systems can be glitchy unless the devices at both ends are connected to strong Wi-Fi signals, Wysocki said.

She said she’s had more success using a lower-tech method.

Wysocki’s system does require the rider to have a helper to act as videographer. On a smartphone or tablet with a good Wi-Fi signal or cellular connection, the videographer connects to Wysocki via a video-chat app such as FaceTime or Facebook Messenger (you can use WhatsApp, she said, but it’s not her top choice because the app requires a larger screen).

The videographer mutes their connection, and meanwhile Wysocki and the rider communicate via phone. This method, she said, “produces the least amount of lag.” The rider carries their phone and listens via wired earbuds or other headphones— because “using Bluetooth or other wireless connections can produce additional lag.”

For best results, have the videographer stand near C in the arena to give the instructor a

judge’s-eye view. But try to stay away from any metal beams because they can interfere with Wi-Fi or cellular signals, Wysocki said.

No videographer available?

Mount your device on a tripod placed to give the instructor a view of most of the arena. Ride inside the area of view, marked off with cones if you need a visual reminder, suggested audience member Roz Kinstler, a well-known instructor/trainer who chairs the USDF National Youth Programs Committee.

Get the most bang for your virtual-lesson buck by testing the setup before the actual lesson, Wysocki advised. Make sure everything works as intended.

Help your instructor see as much as possible by creating visual contrast. Wysocki advised using boots or wraps of a contrasting color on the horse’s legs, and

dressing in light-colored breeches and shirt—anything that will help you and your horse stand out against the background in your arena. Remember, your instructor will be trying to see details on a small screen.

Pro tip: Use your device’s screen-record feature to film the lesson so you can review it later.

Pro tip for competitors and coaches: “There are implications for a virtual coach who is not on site at the show,” said Wysocki, who once was told by a dressage technical delegate that her daybefore-the-show virtual coaching during schooling on the show grounds was against the rules because she hadn’t signed the competitor’s entry blank as coach.

Her advice: Have your coach sign the entry form “even if they won’t be there in person or coaching during the actual show.”

requirements, in a model form that can be adopted,” said USEF general counsel Sonja Keating.

Scores up, entries down at 2023 US Dressage Finals. “We purposely wanted to change a little of the show,” said manager Debra Reinhardt. “A few” score qualifying thresholds were raised “to make it a higher-quality show.” With fewer rides, the show started later and ended before dark. Fewer competi-

tion arenas meant “plenty of schooling and lungeing [areas] this year.”

The schedule was “more relaxed” and “didn’t feel rushed,” and the sound quality of freestyle music was “125,000 percent better than last year. There were no glitches. You could hear it beautifully.”

ing committee chair Lisa Gorretta noted. She reminded competitors from the eligible regions to “tick the box” on the entry form requesting grant assistance. “We’ve allocated that money to make it easier for competitors to make the trip.”

USEF thinks big. In his report to the USDF Board of Governors, US Equestrian CEO Bill Moroney pointed proudly to USEF’s new partnership with online equestrian broadcaster ClipMyHorse.tv, which augments the USEF Network. Hoping for “more exposure, support, and advertising,” USEF also created USEF Global Licensing for the distribution of what he termed “curated streams” of “premium media” to such outlets as ESPN2, ESPN3, and ESPN News. There will be, he hopes, equestrian footage in such series as NBC’s “Road to the Paris Olympic Games.”

Show secretaries and competitors alike will be interested to know that USEF “has been searching for about two years for a USEF [show] entry system,” Moroney said. USEF “looked at purchasing existing systems or platforms” before concluding that “we need to build it within.”

The system, which would be free to organizers and competitors, would be connected directly to USEF’s database and would flag ineligible entries. Moroney hopes to make the vision a reality in about two years; meanwhile, “We want to come to horse shows, talk to exhibitors, find out what are the pain points for you.”

Featured Education: Bit Fitting for the Equine Athlete

A

native of Australia, Grand Prix-level rider Kim Gentry now is based near Memphis, Tennessee, where the USDF-certified instructor teaches and trains. She also travels to give clinics on bit fitting, and she spoke on the fascinating (and sometimes confusing) subject at the USDF convention.

Mouth issues, Gentry said, aren’t always the result of bitting problems. Bridle fit, subclinical soundness issues, training problems, saddle fit, and even poor rider position can manifest as problems with the horse’s mouth.

Likewise, a change in bit can affect how a horse uses himself— so “get your saddle rechecked six to eight weeks after bit fitting,” said Gentry. How can a bit change the way a horse moves?

The tongue is a muscle, and it’s connected to the horse’s hyoid apparatus “and everything else.”

The area of the hyoid apparatus has the most nerve endings in the horse’s entire body, she said.

Modern sport horses may present bitting challenges: “Warmbloods are being bred for finer heads, but they have the same amount of tongue and mouth tissue [as older-type warmbloods] in a smaller space.” In addition, many have thick tongues, which crowd the mouth even more, especially in double bridles.

Many riders and trainers now understand that thicker mouthpieces are not necessarily more comfortable for horses. But horses may have distinct preferences for certain mouthpiece shapes, ring shapes, and others, Gentry said. She dispelled the idea that single-jointed bits are inherently inferior to double-jointed designs,

BITTING EXPERT: Speaker Kim Gentry

saying, “Some horses actually like a single-jointed bit, and the ‘nutcracker effect’ doesn’t really happen as much as we think. All bits close around the lips and the outer edges of the tongue. This is the only ‘nutcracker effect.’ Single joints do not push up into the palate when the rein is applied.”

Still, the double-jointed designs were revolutionary, and many horses prefer them. Curved cannons (mouthpiece lengths) can be good choices for sensitive horses, Gentry said. But if you choose an “anatomical” bit, she cautioned, it was probably designed to go in the mouth only one way. Check manufacturer’s instructions, such as making sure that an arrow on the side of the mouthpiece is pointing correctly forward.

There have been many trends in mouthpiece materials—German

silver, Aurigan, Sensogan, Salox, and more, Gentry said. Titanium is a current fad that can be good for sensitive horses because of its light weight—but know that some horses can overreact to titanium bits because “they almost aren’t aware of them, and then they’re there” when the rider applies rein pressure. A material that’s making something of a comeback is sweet iron—“the old Western bit material,” she said. “A lot of horses really like it.”

The horse’s entire mouth—palate shape and height, tongue thickness, bar size, and mouth length—needs to be considered in finding the right bit, Gentry said.

That’s why, besides a knowledgeable trainer, one of a dressage rider’s greatest assets is a good equine dentist. “The best,” she said, “is a vet who has gone to dental school.”

enali SDSF does not like to be caught in the field.

She slowly walks away from her would-be captor, then turns and peers at the offender over her shoulder. Co-owner/ breeder Natalie Masin says that Denali’s iconic look is straight out of a magazine as she lets you know she is beautiful and simply does not need to do your bidding.

“She’s curious but really sensitive,” Masin says. “Once you catch her, she’s perfect, but you’ve got to convince her it’s worth it.” But “when she knows what the task is, she’s just there with you. It’s a mark of intelligence, we always say.”

In fact, Denali led the way in hopping aboard the trailer when it was time to go to a show, demonstrating to her dam, Rosalite HHF, that trailering is just no big deal. After waiting two and a half hours for “Rosa” to load up, her filly boldly walked up the ramp.

She had to walk back down when Rosa became upset, and ended up repeating the pattern 10 or so more times until the mare finally joined her on the trailer. “And she’s like, ‘What’s up, Mom? This is no big deal,’” Masin says with a laugh.

Denali has proven precocious in

other ways, as well. At the breed show, she and her handler practiced the triangle, a pattern used in sport-horse breeding competition so that the judge can assess the horse’s movement and conformation from a variety of perspectives. It took only a couple of repetitions before Denali was leading her handler around the triangle.

Masin and her mother, Lynn Masin, bred Rosa to a Canadian stud after realizing that she would never be ridden. Rosa was lame as a yearling, and despite exhaustive diagnostics the cause was never found. The women turned her out with their other fillies to see if she would heal; regardless, they knew Rosa would have a forever home at their Sierra Downs Sporthorse Breeding Farm in Hempstead, Texas. Happily, Rosa continued to get stronger, and in her three-year-old year she passed her Hanoverian mare inspection.

“We never knew what was wrong with her, so we just committed to never ride her and said, ‘Well, let’s just see what she gives us with her really nice bloodlines,” Natalie Masin says.

“When Denali came out, we were just like, whoa, good surprise! The moment she was born, we knew she was just different and special.”

The Masins have been breeding sport horses for more than 15 years and are currently in the second generation of their breeding program. “Six years ago, when we first started doing the in-hand work, we were excited to get a 70,” Natalie Masin says. “We wouldn’t have dreamed of an 80, and things have evolved since then. We’re learning things, and every year we get a little bit better; we’re thrilled to see things moving in the right direction.”

Masin plans to breed Rosa back to Denali’s sire, Dannebrog, this year.

“We’d be fools to not do that!” she says.

The women plan to campaign their star filly as a yearling and two-year-old: “I don’t even care if they’re ugly as yearlings and two-year-olds,” Masin says.

“They go anyway because it’s just an incredible experience for them. When she’s three, she’ll stand for inspection.

We’ll probably put her under saddle first and then commit her to the registry requirements for her performance test. Someday she’ll breed, but in the meantime she just gets to grow up with all the other youngsters, and get wooly and ugly and fuzzy and beat up and all those wild weanling things. We love Denali, and we’re super looking forward to her future.”

merican Prestige is all business in the show ring and an expert Frisbee thrower on the side. Although the 17.2-plus-hand gelding had a slow start organizing his long legs that trainer/rider John Mason jokingly asserts constitute 90% of the horse’s height, “Preacher” took to dressage competition like a champ, going from green-broke to earning top scores at Training and First Levels within eight months. He shone especially bright in the Materiale division, achieving scores in the high 80s even in the worst of the Texas summer heat.

Breeder and owner Lisa Blackmon noticed Preacher’s professional demeanor when, as a yearling, he visited her show barn on a field trip from Blackmon’s breeding barn and stood poised and confident. But when he’s turned out in his paddock and the stall cleaners go by, he’s just another youngster up for a rousing game of catch.

“He’ll throw his rubber feed tub at them like a Frisbee,” Blackmon says.

“They’ll throw it back to him, and he’ll throw it back.”

Preacher is also a bit nosy and curious. “He is so big that he can just hang out with his head over the stall door,” says Mason. “He watches every-

body. He’s not nervous; he’s not silly; but because he’s so big and his neck is long and arching and beautiful, he just looks over the top at everybody.

I can be riding back to the barn on another horse, and I can see Preacher from the other side of the show grounds, just hanging out. You see his ears and his eyes, and he’s just looking around like he’s the king of the world.”

The trainer continues to work on improving the big horse’s balance, saying that “He’s just now tapping into what I think is his groove.” He’s using the winter break from showing to introduce Preacher to the beginnings of collection, a necessary skill for the long-legged big mover who can devour an entire long side in “like, four canter strides. He needs a bigger arena!”

Mason is also focused on building Preacher’s strength, aiming for the FEI Six-Year-Old classes and perhaps Second and Third Levels this spring.

But “he’ll have to let us know if he’s ready for that,” the rider says. “The talent is there. The ridability is there.

It’s just a matter of his body being able to take that next step forward.”

The pair will also brush up on some basics. Mason explains that “I jumped in the deep end” with Preacher in competition in 2023, “and it’s hard to take

a step back and work on those kind of things when you’re in the middle of show season. This year was especially difficult when you have a really big, athletic horse and it’s 110 degrees outside and 85 percent humidity.”

At their Black Star Sport Horses, Blackmon and her husband, Jackie, have been selecting and supporting young trainers to help with their horses. The couple decided that Mason is the right person to develop Preacher. “I think it’s a good match.

John really listens to his horses,” Lisa Blackmon says. “He’s very good about making sure that he doesn’t overface them yet challenges them in a way that they mature and develop. He’s very thoughtful and methodical.”

The proud breeder/owner says that Preacher loves to show. “John never has to lunge him at the show ground: He just gets on him and hacks over to the warmup.” Her horse, she says, is “such a gentleman, and so professional every time. He never spooks. He never looks twice at the judge’s box. He is a workman. So often we have to worry about the young horses being a little volatile in superextreme conditions, and he never is.

He acts like he’s just an old soul.”

2019 bay 16.1-hand Hanoverian gelding

A

lthough Splendido’s trainer, John Mason, believes the gelding’s quirkiness lies in his lack of quirkiness, there are two exceptions. One is that the young horse sleeps like a human teenager.

“At shows, he sleeps all day long, wakes up, goes to do his test, gets an 80 percent, and goes back to bed,” Mason says. “It’s impressive: He fullout snores at every show.”

Not only is “Sailor” able to rest well; he’s also equally nonplussed when he gets off a trailer after an 18-hour trip from Texas to Illinois and, soon after, happily goes down center line as he did when he traveled to the US Dressage Festival of Champions last August.

“He rides a really lovely, fluid test, not only in the Young Horse tests, but also in the USEF tests,” Mason continues. “He’s remarkable. I’ve never worked with one that has as good of a brain as he has along with his amazing athleticism, talent, and quality. I am constantly having to tell my other clients that he is not normal; he is the exception to the rule.”

Sailor’s owner, Victoria Reeder, said she knew he was the one when they found him, but she wanted to be certain that the horse was suitable for her as an adult amateur.

“From the first ride he was super easy,” she says. “I’d been traveling for eight hours, and he was awesome.

It was an outdoor arena with lots of wind. He was perfect—not ever spooky. He’s smart. He takes everything in stride, so we knew right away that we wanted him.”

Reeder hopes to show her horse at Training and First Levels in 2024 while Mason competes him through Second Level and on to the FEI Five-Year-Old test.

“Vicki’s a very good rider but doesn’t have a ton of experience with young horses,” her trainer explains.

“Sailor can be spicy when you want him to be, and he can step up to the plate when I get a little bit more demanding. Vicki can get on right after I get off him, and he just doesn’t put a foot wrong. He knows when Mom is on board. It’s giving her the opportunity to learn how to ride a younger horse with big gaits and

figure out all of the different buttons it takes to promote a young horse.”

His owner has proven she’s up to the task, riding Sailor to several second-place finishes in Materiale classes and earning him a year-end ranking of third in the Adequan®/ USDF Materiale Horse of the Year standings.

According to Mason, Reeder makes certain that Sailor’s work/life balance is right for his age.

“Vicki’s done a really good job of letting him have the opportunities to have success without getting too greedy about it,” he says, “and she makes sure we preserve his good mind. You can buy really nice, fancy horses, but you can’t buy the brain he has.” Although the trainer is adamant that it’s possible to find a talented, high-quality young horse that’s also sensible and sane, he admits that Sailor is a bit of an enigma.

“That’s why I have to remind people that he’s the exception to the rule,” Mason says with a laugh.

“Maybe that’s his quirkiness: His quirkiness is that he’s not quirky.”

2018 chestnut 16.2-hand Oldenburg gelding

A

lyssa Pitts knew she’d found a winner when she accepted a partialtrade and cash deal on Esperado in exchange for one of her young horses, but she realized she’d really hit the jackpot when her trainer, British superstar Charlotte Dujardin, saw Esperado’s video and wanted to buy him for herself.

“He’s amazing,” Pitts says of her Oldenburg gelding. “He was the most money I’ve ever paid for a horse, but I just love him.” She chose not to accept Dujardin’s offer, but a hiccup soon developed in her plans for the horse when she learned she was pregnant.

Pitts sent Esperado to another trainer to be started, and it became an extended stay until July 2022, after her third child, Aiden, was born. Esperado was a stallion when Pitts bought him; she says he wasn’t difficult to handle but she didn’t want to deal with stallion issues, so he was gelded. She chose to collect him first, so she retained frozen semen and is excited about the possibilities.

Esperado is the alpha male in his turnout group, Pitts says. “He’s not a big bully, but he kind of picks on

the other kids. He’s just out playing dumb gelding games.” Once, after returning from a horse show, the owner/trainer turned Esperado back out in the field with his friends. He walked out to greet his buddies, then lifted a leg and kicked two horses in turn.

“He’s not actually trying to nail them,” Pitts says; “he’s just casually walking up and saying, ‘I’m back and I’m in charge. He’s a little like the handsome, popular jock in school.

He knows he’s really good-looking, and he knows he’s really athletic, and he is a little bit of a bully.” Perhaps Esperado’s self-image is on track with reality after he racked up scores hovering around 78% to 80% at First Level last year. According to Pitts, “He’s great and he knows it, but he’s still sweet. We all love him; he just kind of cracks us up because he’s just a little arrogant around the other horses.”

Esperado, Pitts says, is the first horse she’s owned that is the same at a show as he is at home. “Most young horses I take to a show, it’s like I’m flying a kite around the lungeing arena for half an hour with leaping and snorting and all the rest,” she laughs. “And I put him

on the lunge at the first horse show I took him to, and he was jogging around like, ‘Why are you lungeing me? You don’t lunge me.’”

Pitts praises her gelding’s consistency, steadiness, and beautiful gaits. “It’s crazy how talented he is,” she says, “and he’s made incredibly fast progress. Without pushing him, he does piaffe and passage, he understands the mechanics for a pirouette, and he’s got green changes.”

Although Pitts believes her horse is suitable for international team competition in the future, he is sadly for sale. “I can’t go the places he needs to go right now with my kids and my family,” she says. “I want to see him in a top performance home, and I expect I will see this horse in the international arena. I’ll keep training as long as I can. He’s an absolutely amazing horse, but it’s the wrong time for me.”

She hopes that Esperado will go to another American rider. “It would be so great to have a horse of that quality for the US,” she says. “It would be really fun, because he can go into a test and he likes to show off. He’s confident in there; he likes to go out and be seen.”

Shmoky Quartz

H

eather Mason’s assessment of Shmoky Quartz after his Adequan®/ USDF Dressage Horse of the Year titles at Training and First Levels didn’t change much in 2023, except that the gelding now tops the Second Level ranks—and her “Sweet Smoky” isn’t quite so sweet any more.

“Smoky” has become a bit cocky as he’s matured—“a little more playful and a little more outgoing,” Mason says. If you don’t pay attention to him, he’ll “give you a little nip.”

It’s never done out of meanness, she says, and it’s a “sweet little nip,” but he definitely has an attitude.

Smoky has also become more powerful, and that power button is working well. After clinching the 2023 Horse of the Year title, the pair traveled from their New Jersey home base to Kentucky, where in November they captured the 2023 US Dressage Finals Second Level Open Championship and the Second Level Open Freestyle Championship.

They also claimed the open and freestyle open championship titles at Third Level.

Moving up to Third Level in

2023 wasn’t even part of Mason’s formal plan. “He really is quite green at Third,” she says. “He still rides like a baby: He’s six and he’s wiggly. I didn’t expect him to score quite that high, but he did a very nice test!”

Smoky’s canter is exceptional and the flying changes were easy to put on him, Mason says, but he anticipates them, so she was careful not to school the changes too much last year. “His focus this winter is confirming them and getting him to the point where he reliably waits for me,” she says.

“He definitely thinks he knows what he’s doing. He’s never mean about it, he just gets ahead of you.” She’s going to start him in a double bridle in the hope that it will give her a little more half-halt power when he anticipates the flying changes. That means she’ll have two more sets of reins to check: Smoky likes to hold the reins in his mouth while he’s being led, so Mason inspects them regularly to make sure they’re not damaged or worn thin. (“He doesn’t really chew them,” she explains; “he really just holds them.”)

This year will also bring a move up to Fourth Level. Mason says that although Smoky finds lateral work, half-passes, and pirouettes easy, she

believes her horse needs another year to mature physically before they tackle the Prix St. Georges. “I do not want to push that one because he’s too good of a horse,” she says, adding that, if necessary, they may repeat Third and Fourth Levels in 2024.

During the 2023 show season, Mason had a bit of an issue with Smoky getting “a little ulcer-y,” a phenomenon that seemed to happen every Wednesday for five weeks in a row when Mason was off the farm teaching clinics. “Every Wednesday when I was two hours away, I’d get the phone call,” she remembers.

It wasn’t true colic, but the horse was uncomfortable and “acted depressed.” Through trial and error, Mason learned that Smoky does not tolerate normal hay well. Now he eats more finely-cut chopped hay and senior feed only.

With Smoky’s diet under control, Mason is happy that he is feeling better and hopes that her days off the farm will be less eventful from now on. Although her horse is a character, she still calls him “Sweet Smoky,” though she sometimes says it with a wry laugh.

Manuskript SCF Sire: Jazz • Dam: Divine SCF Owner/Rider: Heather Mason, Lebanon, New Jersey Breeders: Karin and Carlos Jimenez, Coatesville, Pennsylvania 80 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

SUSANJSTICKLE.COM

2017 chestnut 16.0-hand Dutch Warmblood gelding

O

wner/trainer/rider Heather Mason says there’s no doubt that Manuskript SCF is a one-person horse. When the gelding hangs his head out of the large window in his stall at Mason’s Flying Change Farm in New Jersey, the 20 feet of grassy area between his window and the door leading to the arena provides a perfect frame and an ideal vantage point for him to watch Mason give lessons. “Skript” studies her as she teaches and nickers when she walks past him after lessons are done—but only after she has been teaching, not at any other time, she says.

Skript may be attached to his owner, but his intelligence (and perhaps his bloodlines, with a sire known for being on the hot and spooky side) require Mason to enforce clear-cut guidelines.

“He follows the rules most of the time, but he has a little bit of a naughty streak,” she explains, adding that Skript employs “very expressive” faces to intimidate people, including workers trying to clean his paddock.

But both in the barn and under saddle, if Mason makes herself clear, the horse will back down. “He has

to make sure you really want him in front of the leg, and then he’s like, ‘OK. I can do that.’”

That personality has proved an asset in the show ring, where Mason says Skript “lights up.” “Everything is easy for him,” she says. “He’s probably the smartest horse I’ve ever owned.” All of his gaits are excellent, especially his walk, she says—although “so far, we haven’t shown anywhere near his best walk at the shows, as he’s a little too happy and excited still,” she laughs.

The Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park can be a challenging environment for horses unaccustomed to indoor stadiums, and it proved as much for Skript at the US Dressage Finals last November. Mason says her horse was a bit disconcerted by the people moving about “above him” in the stands.

Instead of getting “spooky and jazzy” as usual, he backed off.

“He was just tentative, and tentative is not really how he is,” she says.

The result was a better trot than in the past, but neither horse nor rider was used to navigating the test with that trot, and it was difficult for Mason to manage. “I think he’s always been a brave horse, but he needs a

little more exposure,” she says, adding that she plans to give him more experience in bigger venues in 2024.

Even with his inattentiveness, Skript earned third place in the 2023 US Dressage Finals Third Level Open Championship, was second in the Third Level Open Freestyle Championship, and won the Fourth Level Open Championship.

Mason’s plan for Skript this year was supposed to include Fourth Level and Prix St. Georges, but his excellent performance in Kentucky gave her pause. “I’ll probably stick to my plan,” she muses, “but it kind of threw me for a loop when he won his harder level there.” She says that she contemplated moving up to PSG and Intermediate I after Skript’s Fourth Level win at the Finals, but Skript’s reaction to the Alltech Arena environment cemented the decision to stay conservative, with Mason feeling that her horse “definitely needs a little more time to mature.”

With Skript’s precocious talent, there’s no need to rush. He already does some passage and “quite good” piaffe, and Mason thinks his pirouettes will be super. “He’s just really a good horse.”

2016 bay 16.0-hand Dutch Warmblood mare

L

ois Lane VR may be a superhero at Fourth Level, but her tendency to overthink and take things slowly was nearly her kryptonite.

Her owner and rider, Katie Robicheaux, bought “Laney” as a three-year-old from a video after falling in love with and importing the mare’s sire. When she learned that he had offspring in Holland, she took a chance and bought the filly sight unseen.

It took a long time for Laney to emerge from her shell. She was a “basic” type of mover, a fact that surprised her owner because the sire, Galandro, is elastic and expressive.

Laney remained uninspiring as a three-, four-, and five-year-old, and Robicheaux wondered whether her mare would ever come into her own.

At the beginning of Laney’s sixyear-old year, she finally began to understand what her rider wanted.

“She’s always been a thinker,” Robicheaux says. “You ask her for something, and she acts like she has no idea and you’re speaking a foreign language. So you just stick with it, and you tell her the same thing every day, and a week later suddenly she’s like, ‘Oh, I get it. Why didn’t you just tell me that a week

ago?’ Once she understands, she’s got it, but now her excitement has to be curtailed a bit. I have to say, ‘You don’t need to move quite so much, but you’re trying!’”

Pirouettes came easily to Laney and are a highlight of her work, but nailing down the flying changes was a challenge. Robicheaux says it took about six weeks “before she even put it together: She’d swap the front legs, or maybe she’d do something funny behind. Then she did it one day, and I praised the heck out of her and put her away. After that, she was like, ‘OK, I could do that.’” Now that she’s mastered the changes, Robicheaux says she thinks they’ll become another highlight in Laney’s repertoire.

During the 2023 Florida show season, Laney finally came into her own. “She figured out, oh, they take my boots off, she puts her coat on. I got this. I’m ready to go now.”

Although Laney can sometimes get excited in the tests, she’s low-key when it comes to the prize-giving ceremony. “She just takes her time, and we trot around or canter around at not an exhilarating rate, “ Robicheaux laughs. ”I can see people on the sidelines like, geez, is she going to finish going around?”

Last spring, Laney had a month off for an embryo transplant, and Robicheaux wasn’t certain the mare would remember everything when she came back to work. She called her coach, Christopher Hickey, who assured her that Laney would eventually remember, and she did.

One of Robicheaux’s challenges is to find ways to inspire her mare. A favorite tactic is to supply her with her favorite treat: doughnuts. Laney “goes nuts” for Dunkin Donuts’ Munchkins, and her groom performed an experiment to figure out which variety is the mare’s favorite.

The winner: jelly-filled. Although they may be Laney’s favorite, they aren’t her owner’s, so she buys plain ones so she can test them out for Laney to be sure they are good enough for the horse.

Robicheaux plans to continue training with an eye toward competing in the Developing Prix St. Georges division this winter season in Florida, but she knows that Laney will dictate the pace.

“You know, some horses get mad and some horses try airs above the ground; she doesn’t do any of those things,” her owner explains. “She just thinks about it.”

on of a Lady not only won the 2023 Adequan®/USDF Horse of the Year titles at both Prix St. Georges and Intermediate I; he also helped Team USA clinch the gold medal at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, by notching wins in both the Prix St. Georges and the I-I while also posting an all-time personal best score.

“Sonny” may have earned glowing accolades as a superstar, but when he flashes a grin while

begging for a treat, he shows off a picket-fence smile with a missing tooth. His rider, Californian Christian Simonson, doesn’t know how his mount lost the front tooth, but he laughs when Sonny smiles until he gets a cookie. (“It doesn’t affect him, but it looks kind of funny,” Simonson says.)

Simonson’s mother and Sonny’s owner, Christina Morgan, says that every time her horse beams that snaggle-toothed smile, her son calls him “Cletus.” “You know, like here

he is on the US team, but he’s missing this tooth,” Morgan says with a laugh.

When the family bought Sonny two years ago, the plan was for Simonson to bring him along in the Small Tour and then to compete at the FEI Under 25 level. But “then all of a sudden, three months after we first got him, it was, OK, now you’re going to Europe and you’re going to go compete in Hagen [Germany],” Simonson recalls. “He and I didn’t really know each other, but

Adequan®/USDF Horse of the Year he was just incredible. The first show I ever did with him, I came down the center line, I halted and trotted off, and I got instant goosebumps. It sounds a little cliché, but I’ve never had that with any other horse.” The rider attributes it to Sonny’s can-do attitude, and since then they’ve forged a memorable partnership.

Simonson calls him The Wonder Horse Who Could. Morgan says that the two are incredibly close; even when Sonny is tired or in scorching heat and humidity, she says, he gives his all for Simonson.

From their first show in 2023, the pair was earning blue ribbons at Prix St. Georges and I-I in large classes with tough competition at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival shows in Wellington, Florida, and at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala. Even in oppressive heat and humidity at the US Dressage Festival of Champions in Illinois last August, they won the PSG and the I-I, going on to place second in the I-I Freestyle. The freestyle, created

by Karen Robinson, highlights what Simonson calls Sonny’s best movements, with a pirouette into a line of two-tempi changes and then a pirouette into half-passes.

“That was really brutal,” Simonson says of the conditions at

the Festival. “I think the freestyle day was a hundred and something degrees with a real-feel of 115. I think that was the only day that I’ve ever felt Sonny even slightly tired, but I had an amazing team, and we were really on top of him with fluids and making sure that he was taken care of in the heat.”

If Simonson’s trainer, Olympian Adrienne Lyle, had advised him not to go down center line because of the heat, he would have scratched, says Morgan: “We will always put our horses ahead of glory; that’s fleeting.” As CEO of a California-based animal rescue that she founded and that’s already helped more than 14,000 cats and dogs, Morgan says she’s dedicated to animal welfare.

“Our horses are treated the way I would treat my dog, my cat, or my kid,” she says. “They get better treatment than most of our family members!”

Almost two years ago, Simonson reveals, he and Lyle made a plan for him to compete in the Pan American Games, a longtime goal of his. “We drew out the road map, and then almost every show for the past two years has been gearing me up in some way for the Pan Americans,” he says. Just 21 in Chile, he became the youngestever Small Tour rider to compete for Team USA at the Pan Ams.

Trainer and rider will take their time bringing Sonny up to the Grand Prix level this year and then, they hope, on to the U25 ranks. Although Simonson admits he’s never made a Grand Prix horse and he’s excited about the journey, he’s well aware of Sonny’s strengths. He touts Sonny’s canter tour and extended walk as extraordinary, but he believes that the gelding’s expression and balance are his real superpowers.

“Pirouettes have also been really fun,” he adds, “and he has gotten eights and nines on them, so I hope we can even make them better.”

According to Simonson, he and Sonny share a kind of synergy that results in mutual trust: “I think that’s kind of the best feeling ever, to ride where I know that he’ll fight for me.”

He says that he planned to give Sonny some time off after the Pan Ams—but after only one day off, his workaholic mount was ready to go.

“I got on him on him the next day just to do a light stretch,” Simonson recalls, “and he was like, ‘I can’t do it; I’ve got to do something.’ That’s just the kind of kind of horse he is. He’s always trying his hardest. I think that is probably my favorite part about him.”

Escarigo

2009 black 16.0-hand Dutch Warmblood gelding Owner: Cadence LLC, Cardiff by the Sea, California Rider: Elizabeth Ball, Cardiff, California Breeder: Y. Copal, Netherlands 88 March/April 2024 | USDF CONNECTION

Sire: Contango • Dam: Carion

E

scarigo is a dependably gentle and calm gelding on the ground, but he morphs into a sleek black Ferrari under saddle. According to rider/trainer Elizabeth “Beth” Ball, the sweet “Essie” is easygoing and could “almost be amateur-friendly,” but when he’s in show mode he turns into a sports car with power to spare.

Ball praises the horse’s piaffe and passage but believes that Essie’s attitude and talent are his strongest attributes. She bought him sight unseen as a 12-year-old from his Netherlands-based breeder and trainer, Yvonne Copal, who competed him a bit in Europe. Essie’s show schedule was curtailed by the COVID pandemic, but Ball thought he’d be a fun project at a reasonable price and brought him home to California.

The duo made their US show debut at Fourth Level, but Essie’s excitement led to what Ball terms “exuberant outbursts.” Her trainer, Olympian Guenter Seidel, suggested that she bump him up to Intermediate I at his next show because the horse needed a bit more to occupy

his mind. “So we did that, and it was great because we had a different test,” Ball remembers—but clever Essie easily memorizes the pattern and knows what movements are coming, especially the ones he likes to perform. By day 2, he knew the test and was once again “full of beans.”

About a month later, Seidel suggested that Ball try showing Essie at Intermediate II because the horse loves to piaffe and passage.

“We were thinking to take our time and go slowly, but we put him up and he just did so well,” Ball says.

“Then we did a couple more I-IIs, and every time we did that medium canter with the flying change across the diagonal, he thought that was the most fun and an opportunity to play.”

Ball moved Essie up to Grand Prix in May 2023, and by October they were earning scores around the 70% mark in the Grand Prix Special.

“We’ve officially moved up,” says Ball, “and now we’re just going to settle in and get to work. It’s not like he’s a very young horse that we’re over-pushing; he just showed us that he’s wanting more, and we listened,

and here he is. He loves to show up, and he just rises to the occasion.”

Essie still has playful moments under saddle, Ball reports, but is now completely focused in the Grand Prix tests: In the show ring, he’s all business. In the barn, he loves to be cuddled and he enjoys his long daily turnout, but his favorite thing is bananas. According to his rider, Essie is that rare combination of easygoing and sweet on the ground, yet a real trier under saddle.

“When you engage him and collect him and he’s in his show mode, he’s just like a Ferrari,” she says. “It’s a really interesting combination to have those two qualities in one horse.”

In 2024, Ball plans to work on building Essie’s strength and confidence while continuing to focus on the basics. They’ll also put together a Grand Prix freestyle—but Ball says she’ll have to take care not to choose overly exciting music lest she over-rev Essie’s engines. Doing a Grand Prix Freestyle with Essie will be “really fun,” she says. “I just think we’ll make a point of not having the extended canter music be too exciting.”

raining Fernando is an exercise in déjà vu for Australian Kelly Layne, who has had the horse in her program since he was a fiveyear-old. She says he’s always felt as though he’d “been there and done it before” throughout the journey to Grand Prix.

Fernando’s owner, Ellen Trouille, purchased the gelding at auction and sent him to Layne for training a month later. He was a “big, gangly horse with the longest back I’ve ever sat on in my life,” Layne says; but when Olympian Steffen Peters saw him, he was impressed. Peters cautioned Layne not to rush Fernando, so she planned her training strategy and is grateful to Peters for his guidance: “Get your game plan together; get your warmup down; get it so that you go in that test and it looks like you’ve done it a million times.

Don’t go into a CDI green.”

A lot of Fernando’s training consisted of trotting and cantering around the three-quarter-mile racetrack at Palm Beach Sports Complex in Wellington, Florida. He and Layne would train on the track, then head into the arena to polish a movement, and that was it.

“There was no hard training; there was no drilling,” Layne says.

“I can do it all in a snaffle bridle with no whip and no spurs. He was so good yet so young, so I ticked every single box with this horse: I did every test at every level. When you introduced something new, he got it; nothing was hard. The horse was pretty much doing all the Grand Prix at eight years old.”

As they moved up the levels, Layne often fielded reactions to Fernando’s four perfect white socks, adding that it wasn’t something she thought about until people started commenting. Most horses wear white leg wraps or boots in the warmup, which when they’re removed reveal plain legs underneath, but not so with Fernando. “He looks super-impressive in the warmup with those white bandages on,” Layne says. “But then when they’re removed, he’s got these perfect white socks up to the knees and up to the hocks, and people are like, ‘No, that’s just not fair!’”

The flashily marked Fernando can compress his body into the shortest, smallest package like an accordion, allowing him to piaffe and passage “like the bomb,” according to his rider, who calls those

movements his gift from God: “They have this rhythm and tempo that you only see in the top, top horses.”

Her biggest challenge, Layne says, is keeping him straight on the center line in the Grand Prix; she chalks up his wiggliness to his relatively young age as she works on building his strength. But Layne says she takes care to use only gentle corrections or her mount “gets sad,” adding that he’s a super-sensitive horse who has never really had a bad day.

After Layne and Fernando had achieved the 2023 Adequan®/USDF Grand Prix Dressage Horse of the Year title, the rider handed over the reins to the horse’s owner. Fernando spent some months at Trouille’s farm in Germany, then returned to Florida in December with his owner to prepare for their debut competition in Wellington.

“I’m very proud of the job I did in training the horse, and I hope Ellen has great success on him,” Layne says. “I’m happy to say that I will continue teaching her on the horse, so I’ll still be a part of Team Fernando! He’s an amazing horse, he takes good care of the rider, and there’s not a bad bone in his body.”

Salute Can-Do Spirit Sue Hughes calls herself a doer. Now in her nineties, she’s not done yet!

“I

think one of the reasons I get to live so long is because I have a passion,” says Sue Hughes, 94, of Plymouth, Michigan.

The dressage trainer and celebrated volunteer says that she’s “having too much fun, and I’m learning stuff all the time.”

LAST PARTNER: Sue Hughes with her last horse, Zippos Imprint. The two did Second Level dressage before his death in 2023.

Horses and dressage may be Hughes’ passion, but they are actually her second act. Act I was as wife to Bob Hughes (they were married 64 years when he died in 2016) and mother to their three children (sadly, son Rob died in 2023).

Growing up, Hughes played the violin and participated in sports but “was not associated with horses at all,” she says. She graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1951 and married her husband the following year, becoming “a stay-at-home mom because that’s what people in my age group did.” She was “a professional volunteer,” serving as a homeroom mother, a PTA board

member, and a founding member of the Livonia (Michigan) League of Women Voters, among others.

Daughter Nancy attended Girl Scout camp when Sue Hughes was 39. Nancy enjoyed horse camp—so much so that her parents bought her a horse. But then “somebody had to board it and pay for it, so then I started to teach [riding] for money,” Hughes says. That’s right: A greenhorn herself, Hughes, who had begun riding at the farm where her daughter attended camp, “started to teach riding to Girl Scouts two months after I learned to mount.”

Knowing she was “over her head” teaching riding, Hughes began taking lessons from early US dressage proponent (and future Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame member) Violet Hopkins, whose Tristan Oaks Farm was nearby.

Hopkins taught Hughes not only how to ride but how to teach riding, and suggested that her pupil join the Midwest Dressage Association.

“That opened another opportunity for me to volunteer,” says Hughes, who was on the MDA board for 14 years and was president for four.

USDF leadership took notice, and Hughes went on to chair the USDF Nominations Committee for nine years and to serve as the USDF Region 2 director for nine years. She’s also been on the boards of Centered Riding and the Certified Horsemanship Association, and she’s currently vice president of the Western Dressage Association of Michigan.

In 1977, the Hughes family bought their 19-acre Pride and Joy Farm, where Hughes has taught and trained ever since. She also earned USEF judges’ licenses (dressage “r” in 1985, eventing “r” in 1987, and

Western dressage “R” in 2014).

“Education is my thing,” Hughes says. “I’m a teacher. I define myself that way.” She also enjoys judging but says that “neither of those is far ahead of riding. I like riding.”

She has competed through Prix St. Georges but has no USDF rider medals, explaining, “Those things weren’t invented when I was riding.”

While Hughes was stuck at home in 2020 during the pandemic, “I didn’t have anything to do,” she says.

So she wrote and self-published a book on riding: the 76-page In the Beginning: Lessons from the Toolbox of Sue Hughes. Her daughter designed the book and already has ideas for her mother’s next effort, a collection of “Sue’s Snippets,” educational pieces that Hughes pens for the Western Dressage Association of Michigan’s website.

When she’s not writing, Hughes still looks after the four boarded horses at her farm (son Andrew, who lives with her, helps out now that his mom has had back surgery and “the body said no, you’re not doing that any more”). She still travels to various area barns to teach lessons.

Hughes will probably be best remembered for her volunteerism, however.

“When I volunteer to do something,” she says, “I’m loyal to it. I work for it. I attend all the meetings, and I vote and I participate. I’m a doer.”

We salute Sue Hughes for all she’s done for the USDF and for equestrian sport.
