Governance Progress Report As always, the convention opened with the USDF executive Board’s (eB) winter meeting. Along with reviewing financials, membership numbers, and general organizational nuts and bolts, the eB approved a recommendation from the instructor Certification Strategic Planning Group. Tis group, whose goal is “proposing improvements to make [the instructor Certification program] more relevant to today’s world and to ensure its success in the future,” proposed adding a new certification category: Honorary instructor. Te group’s report stated: “Tis level of recognition has been discussed many times over the last several years. All candidates for Honorary instructor must be ambassadors for the sport and the art of dressage; must uphold the dignity and welfare of the horse; and must characterize the integrity, high standards, and good sportsmanship that carry on the legacy of USDF.” Tere were two major highlights, but otherwise it was pretty much business as usual at the BoG assembly. Te FY 2012-2013 budget was approved. Delegates were asked to vote on a couple of bylaws changes,

2011 convention achieves major milestones

ccording to Wikipedia, San Diego is considered the birthplace of California. Tere is no doubt that San Diego will also go down in USDF history as the birthplace of two momentous initiatives— one years in the making, the other conceived more recently—during the 2011 Adequan/USDF national Convention Presented by SmartPak. i may be one of the few who find USDF conventions invigorating, but there is something about the collective energy one feels in the meetings and in the hallways. i wish i could make it to each and every regional meeting. i truly enjoy sitting in on them and listening to each region’s take on the issues and discussion about its various activities. to be able to come together as one organization, we must first understand our regional differences. Tere are times when i’m surprised or even confused, but in the end i like to think i come away with a greater appreciation of each region’s unique qualities. Te discussions and exchange of ideas at committee meetings can be just as informative. in an ideal world, it would be great to make every meeting open to all USDF members, but this is a question we wrestle with every year. For attendees who are not on committees, it certainly is more interesting to be able to attend all meetings. For Board of Governors (BoG) delegates, who will be asked to vote on important issues, attending committee meetings helps them to stay informed. At the same time, committee members must feel that the convention is worth the trip—that they’re able to work and to go home with a sense of accomplishment. in the end, it is a balancing act, and the majority of meetings are open. For the most part, the quality that first drew

Te Passing of an era Remembering four US dressage pioneers

Wild West yahoos with nondescript horses, no tradition of classical horsemanship, and no clue. Tat’s all changed, of course. today our team and individual competitors routinely figure prominently in international competition. US-bred sport horses hold their own with the world’s best. Te US produces top-quality dressage competitions, trainers, and instructors. Te USDF “L” education Program is so well regarded that other nations have copied it as the method of indoctrinating dressage judges. if you have a nice US-bred horse, a good trainer, quality shows, or good judges in your area, you have Lowell, Lazelle, Liz, and Peter—and more like them—to thank for it. You wouldn’t have the dressage advantages you have today had it not been for their pioneering efforts. Te pages of this, the 2011 yearbook issue of USDF Connection, are a virtual tribute to our dressage pioneers. How fitting—sadly, not a moment too soon—that the California Dressage Society displayed tributes to Liz Searle and Peter Lert at the welcome reception at the 2011 Adequan/USDF national Convention Presented by SmartPak in San Diego. Fitting, too, that the 2011 symposium, featuring the four national dressage coaches, set a new standard for excellence in dressage education.

very generation feels the passage of time when, one by one, its cultural icons begin to leave this earth. From presidents to pop stars, these are the people who helped to shape our lives, and with each death we lose a little of ourselves, too. American dressage is experiencing a similar changing of the guard. From late november 2011 to early in the new Year, we lost four of our sport’s seminal figures: Lowell Boomer, Lazelle Knocke, elizabeth Searle, and Peter Lert. We pay tribute to Lowell, the USDF founding organizer, on page 14. our remembrance of Lazelle, a past USDF president, appears on page 20. Liz and Peter died within days of each other in early January, just as this issue was going to press. We’ll publish their obituaries in next month’s issue. Lowell and Lazelle were driving forces behind USDF’s formation and governance, and they were also instrumental in founding USDF groupmember organizations (GMos). on the West Coast, Liz and Peter each had great influence as judges and as leaders of the California Dressage Society. Both also made significant contributions to the USDF, holding leadership roles and attending conventions for many years. Lowell, Lazelle, Liz, and Peter were members of the generation that got dressage started in the USA. Tese are the people who, in the 1960s and 1970s, established dressage clubs, attended the USDF founding meeting in 1973, earned judges’ licenses, brought clinicians over from europe, and fought for better dressage training and higher standards. As aficionados of the sport that “didn’t get no respect” from the American equestrian establishment, they lobbied to change that. “Back in the day,” the US didn’t even register on the worldwide dressage radar. We were regarded by the europeans as something of a bunch of

inside usdf Big Event #2: National Championships By far, the hottest topic at the convention was the proposal for a national head-to-head dressage championships, based on a qualifying system using the Great American/USDF Regional Championships. After an animated debate, the USDF BoG voted in favor of the proposed championships. Te motion reads as follows:

president@usdf.org

Te national Championships will be established starting in 2013 as a head-to-head competition showcasing Adult Amateur and open riders at training– Grand Prix levels, who are US citizens. Te proposed date for the ﬁrst national Championships is early november. Te last date for a Regional Championships would be approximately no later than three weeks prior to the national Championships.

Te national Championships is proposed to rotate at least every three years from east to west. Te first proposed location is the Kentucky Horse Park. Levels and Divisions for the first three years: open Division: training– Grand Prix and all Freestyles Adult Amateur Division: training–Grand Prix For the initial championships, in order to participate: A “Declaration of intent” for the national Championships, specifically committing “yes” or “no” to participate in the national Championships, would be required of competitors when entering the Regional Championships competition. Champion and reservechampion horse/rider combinations for each level and division, who are US citizens, will be invited from each of the nine (9) Regional Championships. only if one or both of the top two competitors decline the invitation will another competitor be invited. invitations will be limited to the top five placings. it was a historic day for dressage in the US, and now the planning must begin. Te USDF will be working closely with the US equestrian Federation in developing these championships. An organizational task Force and a Competitors Advisory Group have been formed to work out the details.

member connection Conquering Riding Fears i read your article, “Te Fear Factor,” in the november 2011 issue (“Ringside”). i wanted to share my experience with getting over a bad fall from my horse about a year ago. For those suﬀering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PtSD) from a bad fall, kick, or other traumatic experience with a horse, i highly recommend a therapy called eMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing). in my case, my horse bucked me oﬀ while i was asking for a canter. We had been struggling with left-lead canter transitions for some time. He became very unbalanced when i asked him to canter, and i leaned forward slightly and he bucked. i tumbled over

Corrections

ur “Ask USDF” column in November’s “Heads Up” section, about the USEF/USDF Dressage Seat Medal program, contained an incorrect statement. Riders qualify for one of the nine regional USDF Dressage Seat Medal Semiﬁnals, not for DSM Finals as stated. Apologies for any confusion.

The 2012 Stallion Guide in the December 2011/January 2012 issue misstated one stallion’s bloodlines. The Hilltop Farm Inc. (MD) stallion Qredit’s pedigree should have been listed as Quaterback/Dream of Glory/ Rubinstein. USDF Connection regrets the error. The DVD set Muscle Language was listed as available through Amazon.com at the time our “Reviews” (December 2011/January 2012) went to press. However, that’s no longer the case. Those wishing to purchase Muscle Language are advised to order through MuscleLanguage.com, producer Peggy Bidgood says.

his right shoulder and landed upsidedown on the fence. Te real problems started when i started reexperiencing the event in the middle of the night, reliving that awful tumbling sensation. After several weeks, i sought the help of a therapist, who suggested eMDR therapy. to explain exactly how eMDR works is complicated, but basically it helps the brain to process the event so that you can move on with your life. in my eMDR therapy, i put on headphones, shut my eyes, and relived the event verbally with prompts from the therapist. As i talked, i heard tones or beeps through the headphones. i talked about how the event made me feel and where in my body i was experiencing those feelings. After three 90-minute sessions, my nightmares ended and i stopped thinking about the fall. i went for several weeks without thinking about it until someone asked me about it. i think about it occasionally, but the waking up in the middle of the night has ended completely. eMDR worked for me. i have continued taking lessons on another horse and am in the process of looking for a third horse. Diane Breier Carmel, IN one summer day during my nineteenth year of trying to conquer my riding fear, i prepared to mount my horse, Joey. i noticed his clear distress signals—swiveling ears and wide eyes—and i felt my heart pounding. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea, i thought. Ten i told myself, “Susan, stop being such a wimp.” Tirty seconds later, i was lying on the ground with a shattered elbow and an open wound in my arm so deep that you could see the bone. Five surgeries ﬁxed the elbow, but the wound developed a life-threatening infection that required eight weeks of intravenous antibiotics. ten weeks after my accident, the cast came oﬀ and i got back on Joey. it went so well that i decided to enter

an upcoming championship show so we could compete with our First Level Freestyle. We placed in the class, and i felt great. i exulted in how well i had conquered my fear. Tat winter, however, i started to react nervously to the various noises of our indoor arena and to Joey’s every little unusual movement. one day, i tacked him up and brought him to the mounting block but was so paralyzed with fear i could not get on. i left the barn sobbing and canceled my next lesson. After ten days of terrifying nightmares and deeply sad days, i asked for help from a local clinical psychologist who specializes in working with riders. When he asked me whether i ever considered that fear was a gift that helped keep me safe, i admitted that i had not. For nearly 20 years, i had only one thought when it came to my riding fears: bully them out of existence. Fear was something to get over, push aside, overcome. And i had done it for all that time, getting on over and over again after accidents and in the face of severe cases of show nerves. it was a radical concept: Fear is a gift that keeps me safe. i thought about it a lot and talked about it with my trainer, Stephanie. She oﬀered and i accepted her wonderful schoolmaster, Cherry-Cherry Cola, as an alternative to Joey for as long as i needed her. We began very slowly, as i learned from my counseling, always stopping before a new wave of fear hit me. Whenever i felt ready, we would take a small step into new territory, with the agreement that i could always take a step back. During this time, about six months, i began working with Joey in hand. We went from simply tacking up and walking into and out of the arena to more time and fun exercises as i regained my comfort with him and he with me. i gradually practiced leading him to the mounting block, throwing the reins over his head, standing on the mounting block and putting my left foot in the stirrup. i paid attention to the speed of my

heart and my breathing, and any time they got too high i took a step back. When i felt i could actually get on Joey, Stephanie and i planned it with care. She rode him first while i watched and saw how relaxed and attentive he was. Ten she brought him over to me and held the reins tightly while i took that final swing of my right leg over and settled into the saddle. We walked a few steps, and i got off and mounted again. Te next time i rode, we walked a few circles, then trotted a bit; and while i still wanted to do more, i stopped—no retraumatizing! As i write this, it has been about two months since i got back on Joey, and i am riding him more often and with more confidence. i still have only ridden him with Stephanie coaching me, and i will never mount a horse without someone there to hold the reins. But i volunteered to ride him for our barn’s annual Christmas party, and our freestyle practice sessions have been satisfying and fun. i feel fortunate to have lived through 20 years of riding while afraid, and i am grateful to be embarking on a new phase of riding that includes being afraid rather than trying to eliminate fear and getting down on myself for being afraid. to all riders who grapple with fear i send a hopeful message: Fear is a gift that keeps you safe. embrace it and enjoy your riding. Susan Trivers McLean, VA

Tank you for this outstanding contribution to the development of US horses, riders, and trainers. My only concern was in the intimation that this level of eﬀort is not likely to be repeated. i for one am willing to continue to support this quality of education.

Lowell Boomer

. Lowell Boomer, Lincoln, ne, founding organizer of the USDF, died november 20, 2011, less than six weeks after his 100th birthday. A nebraska native, Boomer ran Boomer’s Printing Company in Lincoln for 80 years. Te print-shop oﬃces were the ﬁrst headquarters of the

FOUNDING FATHER: Lowell Boomer in an undated photo

USDF. Boomer served as the USDF’s executive secretary or executive director from 1973 to 1992 and as its president from 1983 to 1988. in the november 2003 issue of USDF Connection, which commemorated the Federation’s thirtieth anniversary, Boomer recounted: “A number of us interested in dressage saw the need for a single organization to represent the various regional organizations which had developed….” He described his role in the USDF’s founding in 1973 as “to act as a spark plug to get things started and then to nurse the baby as it got under way.” Boomer had a lifetime love of horses, but he was unfamiliar with dressage before he saw members of the Fort Riley, KS,-based US Cavalry School competing at a Lincoln-area horse show in 1934. He had been out of the saddle for some years, but watching the riders reawakened his equestrian interests. He made trips to Fort Riley to watch that era’s American dressage greats, Col. Hiram tuttle and Col. isaac Kitts, school their horses. Boomer began trying his own hand at dressage and founded the nebraska Dressage Association in 1973. in 1989, Boomer established a charitable organization in Lincoln,

Te Dressage Foundation, which raises funds and offers financial support for various dressage activities. Boomer’s son John served as Ceo from 1997 to 2009, after his father stepped down. Lowell Boomer was the inaugural inductee into the Roemer Foundation/ USDF Hall of Fame. Te US equestrian Federation honored him with its Lifetime Achievement Award, and Te Chronicle of the Horse named him one of its 50 most influential horsemen of the twentieth century. “With his wit, his smile, his vision, and his dedication, he created a legacy that is the USDF and tDF,” said USDF president George Williams. “His impact on dressage will be felt for years to come, and he will be missed.” Boomer was preceded in death by his wife, Gladys; four siblings; and a daughter-in-law. He is survived by sons John and Jim; John’s wife, Lynn, who also helped to run Te Dressage Foundation; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. in lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to Te Dressage Foundation, 1314 ‘o’ Street, Ste. 305, Lincoln, ne 68508; or to Cedars Home for Children, 6601 Pioneers Blvd., Lincoln, ne, 68506.

Fitting Workouts into a Busy Schedule

ust riding one horse on a regular basis is a big-time commitment. With work and family responsibilities on top of saddle time, it can be hard to squeeze additional exercise into one’s schedule. olympic rower Dan Walsh, owner of engine Room Fitness in San Diego, CA (engineroomfitness. com), offers the following tips: 1. Do your workout early in the day before you’re too tired and lose motivation. 2. Vary your workout routine to keep it interesting and to work different muscle groups. 3. Find a friend to work out with you and keep you honest. 4. take half a lunch break and get in a short but intense workout. 5. Don’t give up! Being healthy and fit is well worth the effort. —Jennifer Walker

Cadillac 35

atherine Haddad Staller’s Grand Prix-level Danish Warmblood gelding Cadillac 35 was euthanized november 12 following a tendon injury that led to a rupture and then a case of founder. He was fourteen. Staller, who is based in Germany, had brought Cadillac (Solos Carex – Miss Ragtime’s Minuett) and her other Grand Prix horse, Winyamaro, to the US to compete. At what would be Cadillac’s ﬁnal competition, the neDA Fall Festival and CDi Saugerties (nY) in September, he placed second in the Grand Prix and won the Grand Prix Special. Cadillac’s injuries were being treated by Staller’s husband, Dr. Greg Staller, at the veterinary clinic he founded and owns, Running ‘S’ equine Veterinary Services, Califon, nJ. But the tendon rupture was irreparable, and when Cadillac began to founder on the opposite foot, the Stallers made the diﬃcult decision to let him go.

Many dressage riders are Pilates devotees because the program emphasizes the use of core support and pelvic stability. “Te circle is part of the mat exercise program, and it helps people isolate and give resistance to the muscles,” says Kathleen Dominiak, certified trainer and Pilates instructor at Fitness Pointe, Munster, in. Te Magic Circle is a resistance ring with strategically placed cushioned pads. Te user places the ring between her hands, ankles, or knees and squeezes inward or pushes outward. “You work slower with the ring, so you can do fewer repetitions but work more muscle groups with it,” Dominiak says. “it gives resistance to all the muscles, and it’s hard to find one piece of equipment that works arms, legs, and core.” Te Magic Circle or similar fitness rings can be found where fitness equipment is sold and through Pilates websites, such as pilates.com. —Sharon Biggs

what judges score on, but on what riders should look for, for the best in musical freestyles. in three days we went over the rules on musical freestyles, tempos that ﬁt our horses best, and how to pick our music. Cynthia then helped set up a choreographed piece that we were able to keep. our ﬁrst night, on the 25th, riders and auditors met at the college in De Pere, where we went over rules and regulations for USDF musical freestyles. Cynthia also explained who she was and her success in and out of the show ring. it was nice to know that Cynthia has not only done the work in making freestyles, but also in the saddle. With her earning her USDF medals and freestyle medals, i knew that she was once at the level i was and had worked her way up. it also made me feel good when she explained that she never was given made horses, she took one step at a time.

Second day of the clinic most horses were settled in, except mine. Te lessons were pretty basic; Cynthia explained that riders should find music that best fits their horse and not the riders. it’s always better for your horse to be happy with the music than yourself, considering if they’re happy they will show it. When watching other riders you could really tell when a piece of music fit. Te horses looked as if they were just floating along. it made their movements look better, and the rider also looked sharper. not only were riders normally excited when they felt the piece was right, but viewers could feel and see it too. Tird day i was hoping for the best, just for Logan, my gelding, to be relaxed so we could get some of our freestyle test gone over. Tat, in fact, we did. He was more relaxed, and his bending and accepting was much better than the day before. We were able to finally get our music down to a beat, and auditors who were watching felt it was the best fit for him. i was not going to argue with that at all. i knew that if they liked it, and Cynthia liked it, that the judges would also like it. now, all i needed was for Cynthia to help with the choreographing part, which i felt was going to be the most difficult. i figured it was going to be really confusing, but in the end, i loved it. She allowed me to make it difficult enough to show off our capability, but also easy enough so that if he were to have one of his moments we would hopefully be able to get through our test with a good overall score. Te weekend went by way too fast! i enjoyed every moment of the clinic, between visiting with other riders, watching others lessons, or learning under Cynthia. it was a great opportunity and i am hoping that another opportunity will come along again. As of now, i am practicing my upcoming test for this season with the horses i plan on showing. Hopefully by next year, i can make my own freestyle, and, with enough practice, will be able to show my first musical freestyle.

club connection General-Interest/Informational Article: Smile! Your Horse’s Teeth Need Your Attention By Christina Wilson, DVM

Dental care is essential for the comfort and health of a horse. over the years we have domesticated horses and altered their natural diets, and ask them to do work from a young age. Most horses have all of their permanent teeth by age ﬁve. Horse teeth are hypsodont, meaning they continue to erupt throughout the horse’s life. Routine exams, maintenance, and correction of any dental issues can improve a horse’s condition and future health. Mature horses should be examined once a year, while younger and geriatric horses should be examined twice a year. it is often diﬃcult to recognize dental disease without a thorough oral exam. Some horses show obvious signs of pain, while others are very good at adapting to the discomfort caused by dental problems.

editorial@usdf.org

Some indications of problems: • Dropping grain or wadding hay • Loss of body condition • Undigested feed particles in manure • Resisting the bit or poor performance under saddle • Foul odor from mouth/nose or nasal discharge. Te most common dental problems: • Sharp enamel points, causing ulcerations of cheek and tongue • Retained caps (deciduous teeth that are not shed) • Wolf teeth interfering with the bit • Hooks on the upper and lower cheek teeth • Periodontal disease. Unresolved dental issues can lead to a number of serious consequences such as colic, choke, sinus infections, and fractured teeth, just to name a few. Preventive maintenance includes a thorough oral exam with a dental speculum and dental equilibration (ﬂoating). Floating removes the sharp enamel points and hooks on cheek teeth to improve the comfort and allow the horse to grind more eﬃciently. Due to the anatomy of the horse’s mouth, points are typically found on the outside (buccal or cheek) surface of the upper cheek teeth and the inside (labial or tongue) surface of the lower cheek teeth. Horses chew in a circular motion, and misaligned teeth can lead to hooks on the front and back cheek teeth. Depending on the condition of your horse’s teeth, multiple visits may

be necessary to correct the problems. Sedation and local anesthetics can be used to increase comfort and cooperation while the dental procedures are being performed. it is important to catch dental problems early because, as the abnormalities progress, treatment becomes more challenging. At minimum, annual oral exams by your veterinarian along with routine dental equilibration will improve the health and performance of your horse, whatever his age and activity level. ▲

Te Dressage “Type”

To Care

By Fay Windsor, Longmont, Co My horse cost less than some people’s britches; i won’t “train him and sell him” for untold riches. He doesn’t have papers, he wasn’t imported; Te quality of his gaits is rather assorted. My white breeches never stay white; My jacket’s off eBay and rather too tight! truth be told, i’m a little chubby. My only “sponsor” is my hardworking hubby; Sometimes we back up at “X” and spook at the judge’s box. i’ve a stiff ankle and he’s had surgery on his hocks. Despite all this, my horse and me Are a shining example what a dressage “type” should be. We have a deep, passionate love for the sport; Te bond it creates, the things we are taught; to enjoy dressage you don’t have to be perfect; Come on, join in—you’ll soon find that it’s worth it!

ART, ADuLT fIRST PLACE: “Spur of the Moment” by Tania Radda

editorial@usdf.org

lucky to be able to experience what it was like to show; if we messed up, oh well! As my friends and i got older, we stopped smiling in the show ring and even while schooling. no more walk/ trot meant no more smile in our eyes! What had really happened was that the competitiveness had taken over. Riding was no longer fun; it was only for the trophies and ribbons. i will be the ﬁrst one to admit that i, too, was becoming a monster. Friends were no longer friends; they were becoming enemies. We fought to ride and show our trainer’s best horses, and disrespected our parents. When we lost our smile, we lost the true meaning of riding. At fourteen years old, i realized that the pressure i was feeling was not how horseback riding should feel. i decided at that point, i was no longer going to act like that spoiled bratty kid i was becoming. i was taking everything for granted and not enjoying the moment. As i have gotten older, i have learned that competitions can be just as fun as they were when i was a walk-trotter. if you do not enjoy what you do, then you shouldn’t do it. every person’s needs and desires vary; do what makes you happy. nobody is ever too good to smile! Smiles are infectious; they spread like a disease. Be happy while on a horse’s back; they know and can feel your mood. Te horse world is one of many ups and downs. Smile because you love what you are doing and the journey that goes along with it!

Dressage, american style Symposium showcases the new “American system” By Jennifer O. Bryant PhOtOgraPhs By Jennifer O. Bryant and Bruce Lawrie

THE PIPELINE: USEF national dressage coaches Anne Gribbons, Jeremy Steinberg, Debbie McDonald, and Scott Hassler (behind horse) at the USDF symposium in their ﬁrst-ever collective appearance. Here they analyze the performance of the four-year-old Westfalen gelding Rey del Mundo and Sarah Christy.

t was the biggest educational event in usdf’s history. Te 2011 adequan/usdf national symposium supported by trilogy brought together 29 demonstration horses and their handlers and riders, four clinicians, and nearly 700 audience members in the spacious covered arena at the del Mar (ca) fairgrounds. Te december 3-4 event was the capstone of the 2011 adequan/usdf national convention Presented by smartPak in nearby san diego.

Breaking New Ground Te 2011 symposium will be remembered for a number of firsts. for starters, it was the first time that the entire us equestrian federation national dressage coaching team had shared an arena. Te four—anne gribbons, technical advisor and high-performance coach; debbie Mcdonald, developing coach; scott hassler, young-horse coach; and Jeremy steinberg, youth coach— knew one another, of course, but they’d never previously co-headlined in a clinic setting. second, never before had the usef and the usdf collaborated to this extent to produce a usdf-billed educational event aimed at the general usdf membership—which constitutes the bulk of the usef’s dressage constituency. Tird, not only was the participant lineup a virtual who’s who of west coast dressage, but the riders also demonstrated a remarkable willingness to show a wide range of horses, warts and all. to be sure, the horses were a highcaliber bunch—one, weltino’s Magic, had recently captured two gold medals at the 2011 Pan american games—but the horses, both young and mature, were shown in their various stages of training, not as finished products. fourth, and most important, the symposium theme of “Te american system” wouldn’t have been possible even a few short years ago. scott hassler has been steering the young-horse competitors for a decade, but it wasn’t until anne gribbons was brought on board in 2009 that an actual american dressage pipeline, as the coaches like to call it, began to be laid. as gribbons explained in the saturday-night symposium lecture, her vision—one that had been shared by many others—was to create an american version of the successful european model of identifying and nurturing promising human and equine dressage talent, from kids on ponies up through international grand Prix-level competition. a solid system helps to ensure that horses are developed carefully and correctly and that children learn their equestrian aBcs, starting with an independent seat and later progressing to the ability to train a horse up through the levels, not simply learning to ride a “made” horse.

SHOWCASE SETTING: Te show arena at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is an expansive covered stadium complete with food vendors and other permanent ﬁxtures

HISTORIC: Te symposium arena is situated near the Paciﬁc Ocean at the Del Mar (CA) Fairgrounds, also home to the famous Del Mar Racetrack

RIDERS AND LEARNERS: International-level competitors and symposium demo riders Adrienne Lyle and Leslie Morse at the symposium lecture

Tis is one area in which the europeans have an advantage, gribbons said. “we lack local riding schools and riding clubs, which are in every little village in europe. Tis is where kids start, with ponies. Tey socialize in the riding clubs; it’s fun. and because of the kids, the parents are involved. in this country, the parents don’t get involved, because [riding] is not part of our culture.” Te lack of what gribbons calls a “pony culture” was one of the reasons she fought to convince the usef that it needed to hire a youth dressage coach. Jeremy steinberg, of Kirkland, wa, an fei north american young riders’ championships gold medalist, became the inaugural national youth dressage coach in 2010. Overseeing the pony division (riders aged twelve to sixteen), the juniors (fourteen to eighteen), and the young riders (sixteen to 21), he scouts promising talent and conducts clinics and training sessions throughout the country.

A Coach in Each Corner while steinberg oversees the young people, scott hassler, chesapeake city, Md, handles the young horses. aﬀectionately referred to as “the old man” by his colleagues because his program, now in its tenth year, is the oldest of the four, hassler conducts clinics and helps to shepherd the careers of those four-, ﬁve-, and six-year-old horses being aimed at their respective usef and fei divisions, culminating in the annual Markel/usef national young horse dressage championships.

42 February 2012 • usdf cOnnectiOn

with a target launch date sometime this year, there will soon also be a usdf educational program for young horses, thanks to backing from hassler and from fei 4* dressage judge Janet foy, hassler announced. calling the program “a huge step forward” for breeders, trainers, and riders of young horses, hassler said he hopes to see six clinics a year, all open to the public. “we need a lot more education on proper lungeing and manners,” hassler said. “i see a lot of horses with very poor manners. it’s general horsemanship with young horses, and we need this.” after a horse or rider ages out of hassler’s or steinberg’s program, if things continue to go well, he or she will come under the auspices of usef dressage developing coach debbie Mcdonald. Te Olympian, from hailey, id, is in charge of the Prix st. georges, the intermediate i, and the Brentina cup (soon to be renamed the under 25 grand Prix) divisions. she also is overseeing the development of a national training program for riders on the usef’s developing dressage and grand Prix B lists. Mcdonald plans to hold six clinics and also an intensive camp on each coast, the latter including mock shows and lectures on sponsorship, sportsmanship, media training, and similar topics. “i hope we could then have some strong combinations to send over to europe, but first i need to find these combinations,” Mcdonald said. “Tat’s where our team of Jeremy, scott, and myself have been so helpful.” when an established horse-rider combination is knocking at the door of international competition, then it’s on the radar of gribbons, the high-performance coach. On a micro level, her job is to help the united states win medals in international dressage competition. her fei 5* dressage judge’s eye is invaluable in helping to fine-tune performances for the show ring. although the medal hunt is the highest-profile part of gribbons’s job, she still views her position from the macro level: helping to create opportunities and to improve the standard of dressage at all levels in this country. a native of sweden who’s been a us citizen for decades, gribbons is uniquely qualified to assess the american dressage scene. Besides the lack of a “pony culture,” she rattled off the other pros and cons of us dressage: Con: “Tis country is too big”; therefore, many of our dressage riders lack easy access to shows and educational opportunities. Te required travel is tough on horses, riders, and officials alike. “at european shows,” gribbons said, the proximity is such that “some judges go home for lunch.” Con: “Lack of tradition due to non-mandatory educa-

tion and training in the us.” certification and licensing are required of equestrian instructors and trainers in europe, whereas it’s voluntary in this country. as a result, us professionals’ quality and methodology can vary widely. Te american do-it-yourself ideal, although often admirable, can be a hindrance when it comes to studying dressage, gribbons added. “People used to reject the idea of schoolmasters,” she said. Tat attitude may be changing somewhat, but europeans overall still hold the older, schooled horse in higher regard, she said. Con: not enough elite horses and competition opportunities (see “Tis country is too big,” above). “we have four or five Olympic riders who are currently standing on the ground because they don’t have a horse,” gribbons said. “Tis is irritating to me.” Because most elite riders in the us have just one “big horse,” they naturally tend to be reluctant to show those precious mounts heavily just to gain experience. Te result is that “us riders don’t show enough. Tey don’t ride enough tests,” said gribbons. “compare their situation to that of [german Olympic gold medalist] isabell werth. she has entire strings: five grand Prix horses, five Prix st. georges horses, and a couple of younger horses coming along. Te european riders are so experienced because they ride tests all the time.”

Pro: Because american riders aren’t awash in superstar horses, they tend to take top-notch care of their mounts. “we take the best care of them because we are not spoiled with an endless supply of new ones,” gribbons said. Pro: american ingenuity + love of horses + relative scarcity of top horses = patience, creativity, and a willingness to put the time into a promising horse. “Tat was one thing i did not like about the german system when i was there,” gribbons said. “if a horse didn’t follow in the sausage machine, or whatever you want to call it, they just got tossed aside. if they didn’t put up with it, tolerate it, [the trainers] had no patience for it. Out; next one in. nobody ever asked the horse why [it didn’t succeed using those methods].” Because “we don’t have thousands of horses to choose from, we have to get more careful with the relatively few good horses that we have. we have to really try every avenue to get that horse to be his best. and we do, and i think we’re very inventive in doing that. some european horses have come over that they just gave up on for one reason or another. Once it got under somebody who took their time and just tried other ways, suddenly the horse ‘got it,’ and it went on to stardom. it’s happened in several cases. we are getting very good at that.” [

Te quartet of coaches brings this distinctly american approach to its mission. One could say they blend patience and pragmatism with the perfectionist standards necessary to succeed at the highest levels of dressage. Te best way to get acquainted with the american dressage “pipeline” in action is to watch the coaches coach and interact—and that’s just what they did in the usdf symposium. according to gribbons, usdf executive director stephan hienzsch approached her in 2010 about conducting the 2011 symposium; but having watched what she calls “the superstars of the world” lead previous symposia, gribbons rejected the usual solo-headliner format, which she says inevitably becomes “just another clinic,” albeit a glorified one. instead, she proposed the coaching-team format. all of the usef dressage coaches had high praise for the usdf for green-lighting the concept and rising to the challenge— which not only required wrangling four clinicians instead of just one, but which also grew to the most massive lineup of demonstration horses and riders a usdf symposium has ever seen. (fueling the demo numbers was the fact that the usdf received unprecedented numbers of applications from qualified parties.) Te coaches also acknowledged the usef’s collaborative role in making the symposium happen. “Te organizations are really fighting hard to work together,” said steinberg.

An Excess of Riches Tere were so many wonderful horses and riders featured during the symposium weekend, we could fill the pages of this issue with reports on each one. instead, we’ve chosen some of the most memorable and “aha” moments to give you a sense of the new american system of dressage in action. Jeremy steinberg kicked off the symposium with a lungeing demonstration. while usdf-certified instructor susan hoffman Peacock lunged junior rider Jade armendariz, steinberg reviewed important lungeing-safety techniques, such as the proper placement and adjustment of side reins and the handling of the lunge line and lunge whip. a safe and appropriate horse is essential for a lunge lesson (seat lesson) so that the instructor can safely challenge the rider’s balance and coordination, steinberg said. “Lunge lessons are good for challenging a rider’s comfort zone. Tey help to develop fitness and can help a rider to develop better feel or to learn a new feeling,” he said. a successful nudging out of one’s comfort zone and into the “stretch zone” or learning zone builds a rider’s confidence, he said. commented anne gribbons: “i was very insistent in

starting [the symposium] by talking about the rider’s seat. Before you do something on the horse, you have to learn to do nothing.”

“Normal Horses” following the lungeing session, the ﬁrst demonstration horse was an eight-year-old Quarter horse gelding named red alert. ably ridden by seventeen-year-old arianna Barzman-grennan, red alert is a lovely and talented horse, but on the dressage spectrum he’s perhaps closer to what many of us have in the barn than to, say, totilas. steinberg, the youth coach, solidly supports the “dressage for all horses” concept, not only because it’s inclusive but also because he thinks it’s good preparation for tomorrow’s dressage professionals. “if a rider can learn to train a ‘normal’ horse to grand Prix, later teaching a talented horse to grand Prix will be a lot easier,” he pointed out. Morgan heinrichs, 20, rode her lovely gray Oldenburg mare, royal Mirage. Like many mares, steinberg said, royal Mirage can get tight in her back, which can result in tension and a rushed tempo. “with a horse that gets quick, short, and tight, i do a ton of lateral work because it backs them oﬀ,” steinberg said. “Ten you can drive and push for slower, bigger, and looser steps.”

Be Your Horse’s Coach scott hassler likes the word “coach”—for that, he says, is the rider’s role, especially with a young horse.

TRAINING TOMORROW’S TRAINERS: If a rider learns to bring an average horse up through the levels, she’ll be better prepared to train more-gifted mounts. USEF youth coach Jeremy Steinberg instructs young rider Arianna Barzman-Grennan aboard the Quarter Horse gelding Red Alert.

Like any good coach or trainer, it’s that person’s job to develop the athlete. a skilled coach knows when to push, when to back oﬀ, and when to hold steady. although he’s invested in the athlete’s performance, he’s professional and doesn’t allow emotions or ego to get in the way. hassler likewise coached rider alyssa Pitts aboard the westfalen gelding furst fiorano, who was the 2011 adequan/usdf four-year-Old champion and the winner of the

2011 Markel/usef young horse championship for fouryear-Olds. “don’t panic if he gets emotional,” hassler said of the big gelding, who showed some excitement in the symposium environment. he encouraged Pitts to “get him light and through, not light from luck. Be there for him. Own that trot. have the confidence to ride through those little bobbles. say ‘i don’t care.’ Tis is how we get to his back. Tis is how we build his fitness.” hassler had high praise for the five-year-old hanoverian stallion sanceo, calling him “definitely a future horse for

• The trot-canter transition is the most beneﬁcial transition for loosening the horse’s back and helping him to relax and swing. • The walk-canter transition is best for “body building”—developing strength. • Down transitions (such as from canter to trot) are the test of the correctness of your training. • A horse is often weaker in opposite directions in trot and canter—say, weaker to the left in trot and to the right in canter. That’s because the inside hind leg in canter (which works the hardest) becomes the outside hind leg in trot (which works the hardest). • Mares tend to have more innate back tightness, which can come and go. The rider must always work to make the gaits better, ﬁrst and foremost, before focusing on any particular movement.

this country.” he pointed out the improvement in balance between the four-year-olds and the ﬁve-year-olds (“the ﬁveyear-old is like a middle-schooler”), and he complimented sanceo’s “wonderful work ethic.” [

Quick Quote: Jeremy Steinberg Correctness makes a horse more competitive. Trying to make a horse more competitive doesn’t always make him more correct.

BACKSTAGE: As at a show, the symposium warm-up drew plenty of spectators. An interested group watches Sabine Schut-Kery and Sanceo prepare for their session.

hassler challenged rider sabine schut-Kery to improve sanceo even a bit more. “school the down transitions such that the horse learns to think ‘sit’ and use his loin more.” using an oft-repeated expression, hassler encouraged schut-Kery to “Own it. Own the dance.” in schooling collection, the hind legs are paramount but the rider must also pay attention to what the forehand is

doing, hassler said. “Tink that the shoulder gets bigger in collection,” he advised. hassler wants every step of every ride to be deliberate— no careless or throwaway moments, even when the horse is relaxing. “have a clear purpose,” he told schut-Kery. “when you stretch them down, don’t settle for letting them go into a shell. ask them to give their bodies to us.” he said he likes to measure the quality of the horse’s gaits and acceptance of the aids against the advertising slogan used by the ice-cream chain cold stone creamery: “Like it. Love it. gotta have it.” hassler’s next demo pair was the ﬁve-year-old hanoverian mare Kgf harmony and Jeremy steinberg, momentarily abandoning his coach’s role.

COACHING THE COACH: Scott Hassler helps rider Jeremy Steinberg introduce the five-year-old KGF Harmony to the concept of half-steps. Hassler first praises the mare when she lifts her hind legs at a touch of the whip (left); later, she demonstrates her aptitude to collect and “sit” for piaffe.

Quick Quote: Scott Hassler Do me a favor: Send your horse’s breeder a letter and a photo of your horse. It would mean the world to them. Think of what breeders do for us as riders. All of our memories with our horses wouldn’t exist without them.

sizing up the lovely black mare’s temperament and stage of training, hassler said: “she can get tense. she ‘hides.’ it’s about the strength of the back.” Tere is no point in trying more advanced work if there are issues with the basics of the pyramid of training, hassler said. “if my horse isn’t relaxed and settled, i don’t have the right to try something more diﬃcult.” after Kgf harmony became more comfortable in the stadium, they ended with an instructive yet low-key ground-work demonstration that clearly showed the mare’s talent for piaﬀe.

The Developing Horse developing coach debbie Mcdonald worked with shannon Peters and the ten-year-old gelding harmony’s fX, who is learning to move with more activity without becoming tight or tense.

ACTIVE, NOT TENSE: Developing coach Debbie McDonald had Shannon Peters ride small turns and leg-yield steps to disperse tension and encourage Harmony’s FX to use his hind legs more actively

Mcdonald’s experience and keen eye led her to make small suggestions that produced big results. when harmony’s fX showed some tension and claustrophobia in the extremely collected work, Mcdonald said, “if he’s tight in schooling the piaﬀe, take it into a small turn. Ten the horse thinks, ‘we’re going somewhere.’” Mcdonald instructed Peters, the wife of Olympian steffen Peters, to ride some brisk leg-yield steps in the walk

Quick Quote: Debbie McDonald We can start our own American system, and we can get the job done on US soil. We don’t need to rely on foreign coaches.

STICKLER: McDonald insisted that Sabine Schut-Kery ask for more consistent straightness and throughness from her mount Marques

away from the horse’s slower hind leg “to get him thinking quick and active.” to sabine schut-Kery on her second mount, the seven-year-old Pre stallion Marques, Mcdonald instructed: “when you feel him come up at you [raise and tighten in the neck], tell him to go over his back for a moment.” Te coach also thought that schut-Kery was working a bit too hard: “don’t help him stay straight,” she said. “work really hard so that he is straight from the right aids.”

Overcoming Challenges some of the demonstration horses (or their riders) presented challenges to which many in the audience could probably relate. watching the coaches help them work through the issues was like going on a spending spree at a homeimprovement store, as we loaded up our training toolboxes with exercises and tips. here are a few. For a walk that easily gets tense and loses rhythm: “i call this ‘walking on his toes,’” steinberg said of cassie Benson’s mount, Viking, an eighteen-year-old danish warmblood gelding. Te problem: “he doesn’t want to

50 February 2012 • usdf cOnnectiOn

be driven through into the contact. so instead, do a little lateral work, such as shoulder-in. it makes the horse less claustrophobic. Tis is one of the most clever things you can do with a horse that doesn’t want to be pushed through in the walk.” For the horse with a tight (and often short) back: “you must flop around a little bit because you need to convey to the horse that his back needs to be loose,” steinberg told Madeleine Birch, who rode her dutch warmblood gelding, uoeri. “don’t validate [the tightness] by sitting too quietly.” For the tight horse that gets resistant: uoeri “can have a bad attitude and get angry,” steinberg said. “for this type of horse, it can be helpful to cruise around for 20 minutes, just doing changes of direction and other simple things, until a little fatigue helps him to take a breath and relax. we can’t talk to the horse’s mind directly, but we can talk to the body, and through the body we can talk to the mind.” For the tense and insecure horse: “she doesn’t get petted when she’s nervous,” hassler instructed Marie Medosi on the six-year-old hanoverian mare Bundaberg. “she gets petted when she gives her whole body to you.” For the tight horse: hassler recommended doing lots of transitions between gaits, such as walk-trot or trot-canter. Tese improve the horse’s strength and elasticity. For the dull horse: test and sharpen his reactions with transitions that skip a gait, such as walk-canter, hassler said. For the horse that’s tense, unfocused, and reactive: try gribbons’s “Prozac exercise,” which she employed successfully with the grand Prix horse wizard, who “can get very difficult and hard to deal with in an electric atmosphere,” gribbons said. gribbons had rider adrienne Lyle put the twelve-yearold Oldenburg gelding in a trot on the left rein. at c, they were to make a ten- or fifteen-meter circle and continue to s, where they made a half-circle left and returned to the track at h. Ten it was a circle right at c, followed by a halfcircle right at r, returning to the track at M. after a few minutes of this simple drill, the repetition began to bore wizard—which, of course, is the idea. he was literally lulled into submission and relaxation, at which point Lyle and gribbons could channel his focus and energy into the work without drama or blowups.

Quick Quote: Anne Gribbons A lot of the best horses in the world were very difﬁcult until they channeled their energy in the right direction.

The Elite Horse

STAR TURN: Calmed in body and mind after Anne Gribbons’s “Prozac exercise,” Wizard showed why he and rider Adrienne Lyle are strong contenders for this year’s Olympic team

as gribbons made clear, her job isn’t to train the high-level pairs that come under her purview; it’s to use her judge’s eye to help tweak their performances to an ever-higher standard. gribbons scrutinized finally, a chestnut hanoverian gelding ridden by Mette rosencrantz. “use your ankles and lower leg a little more in the piaﬀe,” gribbons said. “in passage, push down with your seat as if you were sitting on a big beach ball.” gribbons keeps track of the progress of the horses and riders on her radar. she said she saw signiﬁcant improvement in the hanoverian mare Breanna, ridden by Kathleen raine. Te pair had returned from training in europe with Johann hinnemann less than two weeks before the symposium. Breanna’s canter in particular had improved “a lot,” gribbons said. [

Present and Future Stars

he symposium’s star rider, Olympic and World Equestrian Games medalist Steffen Peters, treated the audience to three of the more memorable rides of the weekend. The first was a complete run-through of Peters’ new freestyle with Grand Prix partner Ravel, set to music from the movie Avatar. As the Dutch gelding alternately coiled and unleashed his power like some great and supple snake, Ravel showed why he dominated Aachen and the FEI World Cup Dressage Final and became the first US horse since 1932 to win an individual medal in international Grand Prix-level championship competition. Aside from a short show of resistance going into the first piaffe, it was a world-class performance that caused a hush to fall over the Del Mar Fairgrounds arena and the vendors to leave their posts to crowd the rails to watch. With USEF high-performance coach Anne Gribbons, Peters gave the symposium audience another treat: a peek at one of his new mounts, the seven-year-old Hanoverian gelding Sundance 8. In Peters’ San Diego barn since May 2011, Sundance 8 is being aimed at Prix St. Georges for this spring. Watching the pair work, it was easy to see why “Steffen is really excited about him,” as Gribbons related. “He has tremendous cadence and mobility, but he’s not an easy horse,” Gribbons said. “He has so much air time that he can be hard to organize.” Of course, Peters made it all look easy, as Sundance 8 floated across the arena in an advanced half-pass for his age and showed his astounding elasticity and facility for collected work. “The horse is so honest that he sits too much and elevates in the flying changes,” Gribbons said. “He’s the type that you must be careful not to push too hard.” “He probably won’t be ready for London, but I’m thinking possibly for the WEG [the 2014 World Equestrian Games],” Gribbons said. It was also a treat to see Peters aboard his 2011 Pan American Games team and individual gold-medal partner, Weltino’s Magic, who (at owner Jen Hlavacek’s request) entered the arena to the strains of “Magic Man” by the rock group Heart. Gribbons praised the nine-year-old Westfalen gelding’s “wonderful walk,” which she said consistently earns scores of 9 and 10 from the judges. She also loves Magic’s steady and reliable temperament, calling him “absolutely solid between the ears.”

Tey also want you to know that USDF symposia are not closed-oﬀ, “elites only need apply” events. “Anybody can ride in a symposium like this,” Steinberg said. “if people want to see ‘average horses,’ then those riders need to apply.” So why all the fancy horses? Actually, said Steinberg, the demonstration horses were a pretty well-rounded bunch. “You braid any horse, put a good rider on it, bring them in that stadium and let them go around and people go ‘Wow, that’s a nice horse,’” Steinberg said. “Te atmosphere always makes the horses ‘more.’ You go home and watch that horse for a couple of days, and it starts to become more normal. But at ﬁrst, the atmosphere takes you.” in the case of the San Diego symposium, the atmosphere took us to a place of collaboration and common goals, for our horses and their training as well as for our country and our sport. it was an exciting harbinger of what lies ahead, in this olympic year and beyond. ▲

Owner: Donna Jackson, Whiteﬁsh, Montana Rider: Jessica Wisdom, Ridgeﬁeld, Washington Breeder: Marion Dresel-O’Connor, Careywood, Idaho 62 February 2012 • USDF ConneCtion

onna Jackson started her riding career with hunters. “Ten i bought an overfaced jumper, and the trainer i took him to happened to do dressage. My first day cantering him and actually sitting in the saddle instead of in two-point, i discovered how responsive a horse can be to your seat—and i got really excited about flatwork.” Having “gotten hooked on dressage, i bought a beautiful DG Bar-bred mare; my goal with her was just to qualify for Regionals and know i could do it.” Jackson thoroughly enjoyed that partnership, but as the mare approached retirement age, “i started shopping around, going from barn to barn with my checklist, looking at babies that had been shown in hand and learned to load and unload. “Ten i saw ‘Romeo,’ and it was love at first sight. He was two years old at the time, and an area of the new indoor arena where he was being shown was still under construction. it didn’t bother him; he did this big U-turn and came galloping toward his handler to get a kiss on the nose. First thing next morning i was on the phone, making arrangements to buy him.” Jackson brought the young horse home to Montana, where over the fall and winter of 2009-2010 she continued his basic education, gave him plenty of turnout, and was happy to find her initial impressions of him borne out as she came to know him. “He’s a happy, curious, non-spooky, people-oriented kind of guy. He comes flying up, puts the brakes on, and stops nose to nose with you. nothing bad

has ever happened in his life; he’s open every day to enjoying himself.” Along with an easy attitude, Romeo proved to be “an easygoing but extravagant mover.” So in the spring, “when Romeo was three and ready to be started, i took him to Jessica Wisdom, the trainer i work with primarily.” Te next time Jackson saw her horse, “i was worried that he’d be different from the athletic but laid-back youngster i remembered, but he was the same little guy. i walked toward him and held out a halter, and he came right over to me.” Tat year, Jackson says, “our goal was to get him started. Tis year, we’ve continued with the same plan”—which the results validate: Romeo not only earned the Sunshine Sport Horse Association trophy for the highest-scoring Materiale champion, but his 87.0-percent median score also was the highest in the ﬁve years that the trophy has been awarded. Jackson “did get to ride Romeo a little, but that memory is kind of bittersweet, because not long afterward i had a hip replacement—and then that replacement had to be replaced, “ so riding is no longer something she’d be wise to do. “of course, nobody rides forever—but what a way to go out! to have a horse of this caliber is every rider’s dream.” She adds, “if you’ve ridden and you think you know what makes a nice horse, when you ﬁnd out that the one you picked really was a ‘diamond in the rough’ and that you really did educate yourself correctly about what makes a really good horse, it feels great.” —D.

Traveling Trot Perpetual trophy for the Highest-Scoring Champion

rowing up in central new York state, Christine Kropf started riding in her teens—and, with limited resources, “rode whatever i could get hold of.” Her interest in dressage began about fifteen years ago, when she discovered (by way of an arm broken in a fall) that “i didn’t bounce so well as i had as a kid.” temporarily sidelined from riding, she decided to take lunge lessons, “and the instructor i went to happened to be a dressage trainer.” Kropf found a Dutch Warmblood for herself and competed him up to Fourth Level. But along the way, at some point “i decided, like a number of us who’ve gotten into the breeding business, that the only way to be able to have nice horses of my own was to breed them.” So about ten years ago she turned the focus of her Hawk Hollow Farm to breeding and acquired SPS Fenja, “my first mare, the foundation of the operation.” Te 1994 daughter of Frappant earned an overall 8 on her studbook inspection, and in her time at Hawk Hollow she’s won a number of champion and reserve-champion broodmare titles. “She really is an uncommon horse,” Kropf says. one comparatively early result of Hawk Hollow’s breeding program was eM Wiktoria, Fenja’s 2004 daughter by the champion stallion Wolkentanz. Raised and trained at home, and shown lightly, Wiktoria became the farm’s second broodmare. “We were very fortunate with Dalton and Deneb, the babies we’d had from her first two breedings with Dacaprio: super in the show ring, wonderful temperaments. So we thought, “Why not breed Fenja to Dacaprio?”

Despite the possibility that the older mare might be more diﬃcult to get in foal, Kropf did—and she couldn’t be happier with the results. “Conformationally, Dalziel came out pretty perfect. And he’s a sweetheart, a real people horse. if i’m in the barn and he’s in the pasture attached to the foal/ mare barn, he wants to come in.” Kropf expects Dalziel to be “a super show horse, too. nothing fazes him; he’s very easygoing. For example, at the neDA (new england Dressage Association) show, the grounds are so big that they can be overwhelming. on top of that, the best route to the ring involves a wooden bridge over a stream, which a lot of horses ﬁnd scary-looking and scary-sounding to go over. But Dalziel went right across; it was no big deal for him. He’s like that at all the shows. He’s a cool little dude.” And on top of that, “in the in-hand classes he’s done so far, he consistently goes in a perfect triangle, as if he’s been doing breed shows all his life.” For 2012, Kropf will continue taking Dalziel to breed shows “to help him get seasoned and see what goes on. Unfortunately, there are no breed shows anywhere near our home base. Te closest is at least three hours away. Fortunately, the distance doesn’t seem to bother my youngsters,” all of whom “get handled, get out to the shows. i want them to be good riding horses for whoever they end up with in the future.” With just four foals in 2011, Kropf says, “i’m a small breeder, trying hard to have a nice little program and feeling very fortunate to be able to be doing this. And this win of Dalziel’s is just awesome.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

n the horse-breeding business since 1991, Maryanna Haymon says she decided to concentrate on Hanoverians “because i liked their athletic ability.” Her Marydell Farms had been in operation for about ten years when, on a horse-shopping trip to Germany, she spotted Duet’s dam, eM Rotina, as a three-week-old foal in the barn of breeder Heinz Lenter. She bought the Rotspon daughter but arranged for her to stay on in Germany for training (on the flat and over fences) and testing (her final MPt score was 8.17). Since being imported to join the Marydell broodmare band in 2006, “tina” has produced “several champion or reserve babies. We raise and train them, then sell most of them to talented amateurs.” Duet, like her dam, attracted attention early. When the filly was born, Haymon says, “She was probably the prettiest foal i’ve ever seen—and she was out in the paddock doing passage and canter pirouettes and tempi changes at twelve hours old!” She adds, “You see that a lot of times in foals; then the ability usually disappears by three or four at the latest, and it doesn’t come back until age six or seven. But it’s play to her.” At seven weeks, Duet started her showing career by winning the Fillies of 2008 class and the overall reserve filly championship at the Kentucky Dressage Spring CDi. Shown by Brendan Curtis (“a very talented young trainer who came through Robert Dover’s ‘Search for America’s next equestrian Star: Dressage’ program,” Haymon says), she has gone

on to such titles as 2009 Adequan/USDF reserve-champion yearling filly, 2010 Dressage at Devon champion filly, and 2011 Dressage at Devon reserve high-point “Born in the USA” winner. Duet was “very lightly backed this past summer,” Haymon says, “and she’s been very lightly ridden. our goal for 2012 is to dabble in four-year-old competition; our longterm goal is to bring her along to be a Grand Prix horse.” But Haymon is in no hurry to pursue that goal. “Duet is rather mature-looking, and there’s a tendency to take all these talented young horses and start them too early. i don’t want to see a young horse working hard before age five or six.” So far, the young mare “has been very easy in everything we’ve done with her”—and the owner would like to keep her that way. “She’s opinionated, and she communicates her feelings quite clearly, but she’s never said no. She’s very affectionate; she likes attention. Her temper is sweet, her gaits are there, and she’s a sensation under saddle.” Asked what she’s enjoyed most so far about Duet, Haymon says, “Watching her grow up to be what i thought she would be.” And the biggest challenge? “Keeping her trim enough. She’s built very wide, and she gains weight easily. We have her on one pound of diet feed plus the cheapest hay we can find!” —D. J. Carey Lyons

2005 black 18-hand Hanoverian gelding Sire: Rotspon e Dam: Shining Sun

ith 50 acres, 50 horses in full training, and busy lesson programs in dressage and jumping for adults and youngsters at his north texas equestrian Center, trainer Kai Handt (who’s also the chef d’équipe of the US Para-equestrian team) imports “a very large number of horses.” So in 2010, when “a friend from Germany, whose judgment i trust, called and said he had a very, very good horse for sale”—then aged five, Roulette had already earned credibility at home by having “finished second in the fouryear-olds in the Hanoverian finals”—Handt was interested. “We resell horses,” Handt says. “i bought Roulette because he was a good horse.” But shortly after the gelding arrived, the trainer stopped thinking about selling and started thinking about competitive potential. “especially for being such a young horse, he struck me as one of the best horses i’d ever had. A beautiful horse—really elegant, long legs— with exceptionally good gaits; very upward-moving, with a very good hind end.” Handt brought Roulette out at training Level in September 2010. Both the trainer and daughter Julia Handt (then sixteen) showed the horse that autumn, and Julia rode him to the Region 9 Junior training Level Championship (and also competed with him on Region 9’s Young Rider team at the Fei north American Junior and Young Rider Championships). in 2011, Handt rode the horse in the Fei Six-Year-old classes—but after nteC student Jonathan Wentz qualified for the US para-equestrian team for the CPeDi3* interna-

tional competition in Mexico City (where the US team took the gold medal), Handt, as coach and chef, “had to spend all summer out of town, between the World and Young Riders at Gladstone.” His daughter picked up Roulette’s reins again, “and she won the Region 9 open Second Level championship,” this while also matriculating as a full-time student at the University of texas at Dallas, where she’s aiming for a pre-med degree. For all the gelding’s winning ways, Handt says, Roulette is “quiet and calm, very cooperative—super nice. He’s done everything i’ve asked him to do. We take our time with his training,” especially because the combination of the horse’s eighteen-hand size and comparative youth “can make some things more difficult. For example, “At first, he didn’t like the flying changes too much, but we just kept asking for them over and over, and eventually he got it. He has a very good walk—got 9s and some 10s in the regional finals—and a very big canter.” Te horse is also “really fun to show. even at home, he’s very forward, and when he gets to a horse show, he kicks it up a notch; he’s so willing and tries so hard. And he has quite a personality.” For 2012, Handt’s first goal for Roulette is “to compete in the Developing Horse division; we think he’ll be ready” for the springtime classes. And long-term, “with his looks, and his attitude about everything, i believe he’s definitely going to be a big-time international horse.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

FIRSt level

n 2008, trainer Sabine Schut-Kery was scouting younghorse prospects in Germany for horse breeder Alice Womble and her veterinarian husband, Dr. Mike Heitmann (whose Cacique, 2010 intermediate i Horse of the Year, she was already training), when she found Sanceo. not yet three, the colt “had been under saddle only three times—but he looked so harmonious in his body that i was really impressed.” Womble and Heitmann accompanied her to Germany for a second look. By then, Sanceo had been under saddle ten times. Schut-Kery “got on, and he was such a gentleman—and so rhythmic and so easy in the bridle. i had a really good feeling about him.” As for the potential buyers, “it was love at ﬁrst sight, based on his demeanor, his appearance, and his movement,” Heitmann says. “We tried to act nonchalant, but we weren’t very successful.” Tey arranged for the colt to go to SchutKery in California: “Both our vision and Sabine’s were to put him with her and let her model him, let him bond with her.” Sanceo was three by the time he arrived, “and that’s not too early to start,” Schut-Kery believes: “not so much to train him, but to explain to him what his job is and how to behave. i think it’s really good for a young horse, especially a colt, to learn manners right from the beginning. “i don’t ride a three-year-old every day: maybe three or four times a week, 20 to 30 minutes at a time. if he understands the fundamentals at three, he’ll be ready to go at four or ﬁve. And working with him and watching him as he grows lets me understand him better—also especially helpful with a stallion.”

At four, Sanceo won the 2010 California Dressage Society’s Young Horse Futurity. in 2011 he qualified for the Fei World Dressage Breeding Championships in Verden, Germany, but owners and trainer decided against taking him. “in Verden,” Schut-Kery says, “the audience is big and very close to the ring. Te experience can be overwhelming for a young horse.” instead, Sanceo went to the Markel/USeF Five-Yearold national Young Horse Championship, where his reaction convinced Schut-Kery that their Verden decision had been correct. “Te arena was just a little more impressive than a standard show arena, but the flowerpots were closer than he’s used to, and he was looking into every one. After the class i took him around the ring on a loose rein, and he still looked at every flowerpot.” Sanceo placed fourth there, tied for reserve in the 2011 Adequan/USDF Fei Five-Year-old year-end standings, and won the CDS FiveYear-old Futurity. Schut-Kery feels “so lucky in the partnership i have with Mike and Alice. We make decisions together, moving Sanceo up only when his movements at the current level are dependably correct.” For 2012, “We’re thinking about the Six-Yearold Fei test, but he’s going to tell us. if he is ready, great! if not, we will take the time he needs to become ready, knowing it may put us behind for making it to this year’s Young Horse class. We chose him for his potential to develop into an Fei horse, and that’s the priority. if, on the journey, he can be part of the Fei Young Horse program, that’s a bonus.” “Lucky me,” Schut-Kery adds. “Tat’s all i can say.” —D.

Rashka

2004 bay 16.3-hand Oldenburg stallion Sire: GP Raymeister e Dam: Tashka

Owner/Rider/Breeder: Kenneth Borden, Wilmington, Illinois 72 February 2012 â&#x20AC;¢ USDF ConneCtion

secOnd level

sked how he feels about Rashka’s third consecutive appearance in the USDF yearbook (the stallion was the 2009 Materiale champion and the 2010 Horse of the Year at training and First Levels), Ken Borden answers thoughtfully: “it validates what i’ve felt from the start, that Rashka is an exceptional partner with all the attributes i’ve been breeding for: ridability, temperament, athleticism, soundness. it also validates my belief in the idea of a training program that respects the horse and his readiness. i’m trying to bring him up the levels slowly, progressively. i like to keep him continuing steadily. From the beginning i thought he had the talent; it’s nice that the judges see that.” Already doing some Second and Tird Level showing in 2009, Rashka “qualiﬁed to do Fourth Level this past year, scoring in the 70s with 9s on his gaits,” Borden says. “He shows mostly barefoot to minimize the possibility of abscesses” (a problem early in 2010), “and i’m choosing shows on the basis of judges, good footing, and safe stalls, as well as a low-key atmosphere.” Rashka traveled east for Dressage at Devon (PA) last fall, “and he was iSR/oldenburg Tree-Year-old and older champion, his 83.5 percent the ﬁfth-highest score in the breed show. We did a forum for the USDF in-hand breeding series, and he consistently scored eights and nines there, too; it was fun to have a bunch of judges looking at him and evaluating him so similarly.” Having also been awarded his own third consecutive Adequan/USDF Dressage Breeder of the Year title, Borden

points out that Rashka’s success speaks for his Little Bit Farm’s breeding program, as well. “We deliberately keep his stud fees affordable because we want to see more people understand that they can get affordable, quality horses here: horses as good as or better than those in europe—and horses that hold up better, with fewer soundness problems.” He adds, “People are thrilled with Rashka’s foals.” of the oldest, born in 2009, he says, they “are already displaying something of the same movement and same temperament.” in 2012, Borden says, Rashka “may do the Developing Horse program. And with the rules now restricting horses to competing in two consecutive levels at a time, i think we will probably concentrate on Fourth Level and Prix St. Georges, aiming eventually for Fei levels as he’s comfortable with the work. He’s getting better and better with his collection, he has a wonderful work ethic, and he’s a natural in the show ring. He’s exactly the same horse there as he is in the warm-up or at home.” And yes, the stallion is still part of the farm’s lesson program, “but we’ve cut down on that somewhat as we’ve become more focused on his training,” Borden says. “What i’m using him for primarily is lead changes; people can really feel how a good lead change feels on him. He also sometimes figures in lessons on gaits—because, with the consistent eights and nines he gets on extended gaits, i don’t think many horses ‘downshift’ as well as he does.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Zar

product of the Cornell University (nY) breeding program, Zar came to 2011 Pan American Games dressage-squad alternate Heather Mason’s attention through his breeder, longtime friend Carol Collyer. At the Cornell equine Park barn, the youngster struck Mason as “a very modern type: very long in the leg, narrow in the chest. i thought it would be interesting to see what he grew into. So i bought him.” initially, Mason thought of Zar as a stallion prospect, “but he got too big; i didn’t want a seventeen-plus-hand stallion. So i gelded him as a three-year-old. Ten i had him for sale for a while because i didn’t want another seventeenplus-hand Fei horse.” While Mason was thinking of Zar as a sale horse, she “didn’t put in as much time on him as i might have otherwise. But i was also watching him and giving him time to grow up: to grow into that big body; to mature physically and mentally.” Gradually, he did—and toward the fall of 2010, she changed her mind again, deciding to keep him for herself. Since then, Mason says, Zar has “surprised me in a lot of ways. He was very spooky as a young horse, and he’s still a little bit nervous at the shows. But when he gets into the ring, he is very reliable. He puts in solid test after solid test. He’s very easy to collect, very easy to extend, very good in his connection.” Tis year they moved up to doing Tird and Fourth Levels, “and i don’t think he missed a change all season in the ring. He’s been a real worker. And he’s a total sweetheart: an ‘in-your-pocket’ kind of horse.” At press time, for example, Zar was “just learning piaﬀe/

passage, and being very cute about it. He really likes lifting up his legs and learning new things.” And even though seventeen-plus hands is big for Mason’s modest stature, “he doesn’t ‘ride’ that big. He’s very comfortable and easy to sit.” Mason was delighted with Zar’s Fourth Level open and Tird Level open and Freestyle titles at last September’s Great American/USDF Region 8 Championships, “but i expected that the biggest challenge of the year for him would be at Devon”—a challenge made even more formidable by sopping weather. “He was nervous the first day, but he just kept getting better and better. He ended up high-point Dutch Warmblood and also high-point American-bred. “i was very happy with how he handled the situation, because it was kind of a test for what i might do with him next year. Pretty much nothing is as scary as Devon.” For 2012, Mason “will probably aim Zar toward the Developing Horse program. i will do some i-i with him, but i don’t think we’re going to do the CDis; i think he’ll still be physically a little immature for that. However, i think he definitely will be ready for Developing Horse.” Winter is stay-home-and-train time for Mason’s horses. For Zar, “we’ll use the time to build his strength. He’s very good already at pirouettes, but i think doing piaffe/passage work will make a big difference with him, along with lots of transition work and warming up very long and low. For a big late developer like him, building strength is probably more a matter of time than anything else. “i think he’ll be a very interesting horse for the future.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Watulele

n September 2010, California-based trainer Christian Hartung was at the Bundeschampionnat (the German Young Horse Championship), “looking for a prospect with Fei potential” for USDF bronze and silver medalist Maureen Lamb, a longtime client of the Christiane noelting Dressage Center in Vacaville, where Hartung is based. Te horse that really caught his eye was a six-year-old gelding, Watulele; “his ridability was superior, and he was truly ‘through’—from the first test ride on.” He’d also had an impressive young-horse career, including placing ninth and fifteenth at the two most recent World Championships for Young Horses. Hartung’s only concern: At the Bundeschampionnat, the young horse “was so hot that he was the only horse that had to be led into the warm-up arena on the lunge line with the rider mounted. And apparently he’d been quite hot when he was started as well. But when european horses come to California, with all the space and the mild temperature, they tend to calm down. And often, once horses that are a little hot when young get some experience, they’re the best goers.” Watulele’s first US show was in April 2011. Hartung started him at Tird Level, eventually moved him up to Fourth, “and throughout the whole season, i don’t think he had one test that was below 70. He’s become a ‘steady eddie’: really forward; 8 or 8.5 in walk-trot-canter. And when he goes to shows, he gets interested: He might look at things in the warm-up, but there’s no turning around or running away. He’s not suspicious, but he’s eager and can be a little on the nervous side; i give him lots of walk breaks. it’s always better to have an eager horse than one that’s lazy.” Hartung remembers that initially Watulele also “kept a

bit of a distance. A lot of intelligent and talented horses are reserved at first but then can become very friendly: a reward for earning their trust. After a year, Watulele is the friendliest horse in the barn—and fine with being led and hosed off by a thirteen-year-old student.” What surprises—and delights—Hartung about Watulele? “At shows, how he is really interested in new things, instead of trying to avoid the unknown. At the same time, there’s nothing that can distract him once it is time to perform. it is pure enjoyment to be a partner for this horse.” Terefore, it’s only fair that the trainer makes enjoyment a regular part of Watulele’s experience. “Tere’s a trail around the property, and he goes on that just about every day, especially walking under saddle.” And—with jumping as well as dressage in Hartung’s background—“all my dressage horses go over ground poles and little crossrails. it gets them out of the dressage ring, helps with throughness and suppleness, and makes their minds go somewhere else. Just as jumpers should do a little dressage, i think dressage horses should do—if not exactly jumping, at least gymnastic work. So that’s what he does for fun.” Hartung and Lamb have agreed that they “don’t want to go too far too fast” with Watulele. “He probably could have done the Fei small tour this past year, but he was only seven.” For 2012, Hartung says, “we’ll do a couple of Fourth Level tests, and from there we’ll take it one step at a time. He’s already doing canter zigzags, and i’ve played around with the twos and the ones enough to know they’re there, but there’s no point in pushing them just yet.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

And Magic, with rider Steﬀen Peters, led the way.

At the Pan Ams, the pair’s 80.132 percent score in team competition not only secured gold for the US but also set a Games record. And in the individuals they struck gold again, earning a combined score of 82.690 percent. With teammates Heather Blitz on Paragon winning silver and Marisa Festerling on Big tyme taking bronze, it was a US medal sweep. Watching the Stars and Stripes being raised on all three flagpoles at the awards ceremony was “truly thrilling,” Hlavacek says. it was the capstone to an amazing year in which Magic and Peters “won every single class they entered, in europe and the Americas.” Teir european achievement came in July, at the World equestrian Festival CHio in Aachen: the first time ever at the storied showgrounds for Magic and Hlavacek. Aachen hadn’t been in the owner’s early plans, but Peters—scheduled to compete there with Grand Prix partner Ravel—thought the experience would benefit Magic. it did. on a cold, rainy day, Magic briefly seemed a little overwhelmed at the biggest stadium he’d ever shown in, crammed with 5,000 spectators.

Weltino’s Magic

Gaits Farm/USeF Dressage Festival of Champions in Gladstone, nJ, where the 2011 intermediaire i national Championships doubled as the Pan Am Games selection trials. in securing his team berth, Magic won all three championship classes—and, with an 81.250 percent in the Freestyle, earned the weekend’s only i-i score above 80. From Gladstone, the Pan Am squad ﬂew to Guadalajara for the october 16-19 competition. Ten, at last, they headed for their various homes. Hlavacek says her horse is “a very laid-back traveler, but when he got oﬀ the truck” back at Peters’s Arroyo del Mar, “he trotted all the way to the barn!” Hlavacek is delighted that Magic—who has his own Facebook page—is part of the Peters operation. She and husband

Bruce know Steffen and wife Shannon “are making the best decisions for him,” as they’ve been doing since Shannon found the horse, guided him to the 2008 US reserve Six-Yearold championship, and then persuaded Steffen to take over the ride. Magic “has been schooling Grand Prix; i think he’ll be confirming his Grand Prix moves this year,” Hlavacek says. But she’s in no hurry; rather, she and Peters agree on the importance of “letting Magic develop at the right speed. My horse was all over the world in 2011, and i do not want to break him down by doing too much.” instead, she’s “basking in the glow” of Magic’s magical year. —D. J. Carey Lyons

1999 brown 16-hand Westfalen stallion Sire: laurentianer e Dam: Bijou

ccording to trainer/rider Jan ebeling, the story of Louis Ferdinand (or “Rexy—he’s actually known around the barn as ‘Sexy Rexy’”) begins with another stallion, Feleciano, “whose owner had entrusted him to me for competition through intermediate i.” ebeling qualified Feleciano for the 2003 Pan American Games, where their performance clinched team gold for the US. Afterward, “with our contract completed, the horse’s owner sold him, and i was without an Fei-level horse.” But not for long. Te following spring, amateur rider Barbara McLean, “who was a student in the first clinic i ever taught in the US, so we’ve known each other a long time, came to me and said, ‘My husband and i really want you to have another international-level horse. So go find him!’” With the help of a friend in Germany, ebeling did: a fiveyear-old stallion “that reminded me a lot of Feleciano: same color, same type; nice gaits with good extension; nice little flying changes; beautiful piaffe—and stunning to look at when he came into the arena.” McLean saw him, agreed that “this looked like the horse: really outstanding,” and wrote the check. Tat was seven years ago, and “from the time i put Rexy with Jan,” McLean says, “he’s done very well.” ebeling agrees: “He was probably doing Second and Tird Level movements

when we brought him over, and he learns quickly; he’s pretty much moved up one level every year.” For their first US equestrian Federation team clinic, then-US dressage-team coach Klaus Balkenhol was the clinician, “and initially he sort of liked Rexy. Ten we did piaffe, and that really aroused Klaus’s interest.” in the barn, ebeling says, Rexy is “definitely ‘the Man.’ We have a second stallion, and the two of them are stabled at opposite ends of the barn. Tere’s always a little contest between them for attention, but they’re both like puppy dogs; their manners are fine.” He adds, “Rexy is super straightforward and very easy to deal with. in 2007 i had a US equestrian team grant to take him and two mares and train at Klaus’s in Germany. Te three of them flew over on the same pallet, with just a hay net in between one and the next, and there were no behavior problems. Te loading agent couldn’t believe it.” For 2012, ebeling says, “i definitely plan to compete him at Grand Prix. We showed in one Grand Prix class this past year, but he was still really green at that level, so i decided to hold back. We’re in no rush—and rushing is a mistake that so many people make.” He’s glad that with the McLeans as Rexy’s owners and sponsors, “Tere’s no pressure; there are no deadlines. We are able to go as fast as we can or as slow as we need to.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

ince owner Akiko Yamazaki and husband Jerry Yang bought Ravel for trainer Steffen Peters to “ride for America” at the 2008 olympic Games, the horse and rider have been consistently at the top of US dressage. Teir 2011 triumphs included championship titles and scores above 80 percent at two major contests. But their most exhilarating achievement may have been at a show where they placed second. in March, at the World Dressage Masters Palm Beach (FL), Ravel and Peters were one of seventeen horse/rider combinations—including european stars and three of the four 2010 US World equestrian Games pairs. earning an 80.772 percent in the Grand Prix (a record CDi GP mark for them), and a highest-ever-at-Palm-Beach 84.550 in the GP Freestyle, they swept the event. Ten in July, at a chilly, damp World equestrian Festival CHio in Aachen, Germany, they introduced a new freestyle that Yamazaki calls “even a little more difficult than their previous freestyle,” to James Horner’s music from the film Avatar, adapted by arranger/composer Greg Sims and performed by the Slovak national Symphony and its adult chorus and boys’ choir. Te capacity crowd, quiet until Peters’ final bow, erupted in cheers that turned to boos when the judges scored the ride at 82 percent, 0.825 of a point behind 2010 WeG dressage star totilas and his new rider, Matthias Rath of Germany. At the medal ceremony, Yamazaki remembers. “Tere was a whole section cheering for Steffen!” in sopping September weather, Ravel made his first-ever appearance in Gladstone, nJ, at the Collecting Gaits Farm/ USeF Dressage Festival of Champions’ national Grand Prix

championship. Tere, Yamazaki says, the horse “did his job,” earning an overall average score of 79.247 to clinch the title with ease. Looking to 2012 and the London olympics: “Steffen is doing a lot of conditioning work to get Ravel stronger,” Yamazaki says, “because the international field has become incredibly competitive.” Te routine includes walking on a treadmill: “about twenty minutes of very rhythmical work. Horses seem to like it; maybe endorphins kick in, as in a ‘runner’s high.’ Steffen was initially not that enthusiastic about it; he’s very careful not to risk Ravel. But the horse took to it as if he’d been doing it all his life.” Besides making Ravel’s competitions family affairs whenever possible—bringing husband, daughters, grandparents, and members of Steffen’s and wife Shannon Peters’s families—every year Yamazaki has been “putting together albums of the articles and photos about Ravel. Te first year, i made three copies: one for Steffen, one for the staff, and one for our family. Last year i made twelve, to share with all the folks who’ve helped us.” Her favorite 2011 photo (on facing page) comes from Aachen and “could be titled ‘it’s not Photoshopped!’ Ravel and Steffen were right under that sign reading ‘Passion to Perform’ when the photographer caught them.” As for Peters, “i feel like the luckiest guy in the world. With Shannon, the amazing horses i get to ride every day, the entire team Peters, and owners like Akiko and Jerry and [Weltino’s Magic’s owners] Jen and Bruce, i have to wonder about the statement ‘You can’t have it all.’” —D.

Sometimes, our horses teach us more than we teach them By Camille Collins

uch is written about the fun of getting a new horse. But as my own erratic equestrian journey has progressed, i ﬁnd myself thinking about the other end of things: After a horse is no longer a part of our lives, what are we left with? We might have photos of a beloved horse, and perhaps ribbons and other tangible reminders of our

A native of Sweden, Camille Collins grew up riding “stubborn Fjord ponies.” She evented before ﬁnding her way to dressage. She lives in Destin, FL, where she is a pilot, a wife, a mother of two, and “show mom” to daughter Gaby, who ﬁnds that training dressage at home helps her in the hunter/jumper show ring.

What Tey Leave Behind

trainer suggested a nice gallop around the track to let the energy out. After breathing deeply and realizing that merely walking onto a racetrack did not give my lazy horse visions of speed, i gingerly picked up a trot. After settling into the rhythm, i took the time to look around at the moss-covered oak trees, the giggling children discussing their classes, and the professional riders shouting greetings to one another as they moved briskly along. At that moment, i realized that in order to receive a gift from the universe, we have to be willing to allow it to happen—to open ourselves to the beauty of the moment. i said goodbye to my foe—my constant companion, fear—and allowed the space it left to be ﬁlled with joy. Joy in the moment; joy in feeling Kali happily trotting along beneath me. i decided that such a gift must be returned in kind, and that only courage is a worthy response. With a little nudging—oK, maybe quite a bit—my sweet horse picked up a canter, and with a bit more nudging we achieved what could possibly be called a slow gallop. But we were galloping! Around a racetrack! And i let go, not only of fear but of my need to try to control the outcome of every situation—as if the many possibilities are somehow mine to determine. Kali is no longer in my life, and the tangible reminders i have of him are few; but what he left behind stays with me. i can close my eyes and be back at the racetrack on that sunny day; then i open my eyes and i can face the day in the moment, with joy, and i am forever grateful to have been taught such a valuable lesson. ▲

Perfect Dust-free Footing Without Watering

Boyd Martin & Quinn Himself in the Martin’s Attwood Equestrian arena.

“We are both very excited to be riding on what we know is actually the best footing out there. Attwood Equestrian Surfaces has just completed our dressage court using their fantastic new synthetic surface Pinnacle: polymer coated sand which doesn’t require any watering. It’s an amazing surface that almost has a memory for when the horse’s foot presses down on the surface, it bounces back up completely, eliminating any concussion sustained through the vigorous training of our top level horses.” ~ Boyd and Silva Martin

of the human body on a horse. i rode in USDF instructor workshops for eight years with the late Major Anders Lindgren, another Hall of Fame member. i joined the American Horse Shows Association’s (now US equestrian Federation) judge-training program, ultimately earning my dressage judge’s license. i also learned a lot from my students, who were primarily novice adult amateurs. My story is not unique. today, 30 years later, there are all sorts of dressage-instructor shingles hung out in my area. Many of these professionals are involved with GMos and local activities. Always eager to increase their knowledge, they attend educational events and USDF “L” education Program sessions. Some are USDF-certified instructors. others, however, are not members of a GMo, perceiving it to be of little value. Citing the time and financial commitments as prohibitive, they neither attend educational events nor seek USDF certification. Yet because they are reasonably successful in the show ring, they attract a clientele, mostly adult amateurs riding at the lower levels. to many riders, the instructor is the most important person in their dressage lives—and yet some riders seem not to know how to evaluate a professional’s credentials. When i ask friends how they pick an instructor, i get varying replies: “i ask around.” “i want a successful Fei-level competitor.” “i want someone trained the european
