Sport Horse, Awards, and Fei Junior/ Young Rider—were the result of many animated discussions held over the years at the annual convention and of the committees’ hard work. Tese programs are relatively mature now, and although they continue to be improved and expanded, they do so on a solid foundation put in place by the respective committee members. At the same time, the input from delegates and other interested individuals at the conventions was an important part of the process of building our programs. During the convention, committees hold open meetings, which ofer all USDF members the opportunity to bring items to the committee members’ attention. i sat in on a couple of the meetings at the 2013 Adequan/USDF Annual Convention, held in December in Lexington, KY, and listened to several animated discussions. A good example came during the Regional Championships Committee meeting. USDF’s goal is to ofer an adult-amateur division for the freestyle classes at the US Dressage Finals. So the question put before the RC Committee was: Should the classes be split at each of the Regional Championships frst? Simple question? not really. During the RC Committee’s open meeting, the discussion covered the fact that, with six freestyle levels at nine Regional Championships, we would be adding 54 more classes and therefore would need 54 more sets of ribbons (432 total), 54 more jackets from our sponsor, and a reallocation of prize money (thus reducing the amount of prize money per class). is the additional cost justifed by the number

EDITOR

most needed when things aren’t going well. in the recent frigid wintry weather, muscles are stif from cold and the horses haven’t always gotten out as much as they’re accustomed to. i’ve been riding a number of equine senior citizens, whose bodies probably don’t like the cold so well. it’s my duty to try to balance performance expectations with understanding. Horses, i’m convinced, rarely act out of true naughtiness. Yes, there are spoiled horses and aggressive horses and he-seems-to-havea-screw-loose horses; but most unwanted behavior seems to result from confusion, fear, or pain. the hard—but ultimately rewarding— part can be figuring out the cause and then remedying it. At the USDF, every year is the Year of the Horse. As we do every year, we celebrate your horses and your dressage accomplishments in this yearbook issue, which also contains coverage and photos from the 2013 Adequan/USDF Annual Convention— and its own accompanying celebrations. We congratulate all of the winners and honorees, and we tip our hats to the wonderful horses without which none of this would be possible. Wishing you a rewarding Year of the Horse, this year and every year!

ccording to the Chinese zodiac, January 31 ushered in the Year of the Horse. equine enthusiasts eagerly if inaccurately appropriated the term, splashing “Year of the Horse” new Year’s greetings throughout cyberspace on January 1. i’m no expert in this area, but from what i’ve read, the Chinese zodiac years don’t have too much to do with the animals themselves (although i confess to liking the fact that i was born in a Year of the Horse). nevertheless, “Year of the Horse” has a nice ring to it, and if it helps to generate interest in horses and horse sports, then i’m all for it. So if this is a Year of the Horse, then what does that mean from a horse lover’s perspective? As a currently horseless rider who’s been catch-riding all of her saddle time lately, i’ve given this question a bit of thought. i think a horse-centric approach requires compassion, kindness, and patience. USeF national young-horse coach Scott Hassler, whose 2014 Succeed/USDF Fei-Level trainers’ Conference with Stefen Peters will have just wrapped by the time you read this, says that the horse needs to develop trust in his rider. Some horses don’t automatically trust every person they meet—and why should they? i certainly don’t. When i meet a new catch-ride, or when i prepare to ride a horse i haven’t spent time with in a while, i take my time grooming. i observe his expression. During this “laying on of hands” (and i’m not above sweetening the experience by ofering a treat), the horse can see me, smell me, and, i hope, begin to feel secure that he will be treated well. i’d be lying if i said my touchyfeely approach always results in a great ride. Sometimes compassion is

of competitors? Based on current numbers, each class would be quite small—which then begs the question: Are you truly a regional champion if you’re the only one in your class? i think we all agree that by holding two divisions at the US Dressage Finals, ultimately there will be greater participation in freestyle classes. But it is a chicken-and-egg question: Does the USDF start now at the Regional Championship level, or should we wait until there is a greater degree of interest in freestyle? in the end, there was no real consensus at the 2013 convention. Meanwhile, the RC Committee will be looking into getting more data to fnd a solution as they continue to grapple with the question. one area we’ll be working to improve is attendance at the United States equestrian Federation rulechange forum. Proposed USeF rule changes are explained and discussed, and this meeting is an excellent

Te 2013 Board of Governors agenda items included the election of two ofcers and of regional directors in USDF’s odd-numbered regions. Vice president Beth Jenkins stepped down at the end of her term, and former Region 2 director Lisa Gorretta was elected by acclamation to fll that seat. Te retiring Janine Malone received a standing ovation for her years of service: six years as Region 1 director and eleven as USDF secretary. Margaret Freeman was elected as the new secretary. Continuing in their positions as regional directors are Lisa Schmidt (1), Heather Peterson (5), terry Wilson (7), and Sherry Guess (9). Sue Bender takes the helm of Region 3 from outgoing director Kimberly taylor. Te BoG approved the budget for the 2014-2015 fscal year and did some housekeeping of the USDF bylaws. All in all, quite a quiet Board of Governors, but none the less vital to the continued success of USDF. Here’s to the next 40 years and a huge thank-you to all of our volunteers! s

can learn about dressage, horsemanship, and being the best partner i can be for my horse. So i was thrilled to read George Williams’ piece in USDF Connection, and i will take up your challenge. it reminds me of a favorite quote by eddo Hoekstra, whom i’ve started going to for lessons: “Remain curious about the things you thought you already knew.” i also want to respond to the recent emphasis on introducing kids to dressage. Tree years ago, i bought two small ponies so i could introduce neighborhood kids to riding. i don’t charge for lessons, but the families pitch in on expenses and help me with chores. i now have seventeen kids coming here each week, and last summer i took a few of them to some local schooling shows. Riding her frst test ever, one eight-year-old scored 64 percent on my Section A Welsh. Tat made me realize there’s great potential for getting kids into dressage, and yet we hardly ever see young children at dressage shows. i think it would help a lot if schooling-show organizers reached out to welcome kids to their shows, and if adult amateurs ofered to bring a child with them to a show. it has been a lot of fun for me and has not hurt my riding at all. i earned a high-score award at a show where i had decided to put my kids frst. Nancy Case Hyde Park, VT

The Business of Breeding i was wistful as i read “Te Business of Breeding” (December/January), which is a good, informative article. Stressing the importance of choosing good broodstock, researching bloodlines, and fguring out how to market are all very useful. But as someone who has been there, i want to sound a note of caution. My husband and i thought we could make a small business out of raising good, sound, well-started amateurs’ horses, and you can’t do it. We had almost everything going for

us. We had land. We had access to good, reasonably priced veterinary support. We did all our own foaling out, handling of youngsters, and breaking. We had a reasonable success rate, and we only lost two foals over ten years to illness or mischance. We lost over $100K in the process, and that did not include any consideration for the hours of time spent handling horses, training horses, treating horses, or primping horses for appointments with buyers who never showed up. We found that the majority of amateur buyers are looking for horses priced well below production cost (if one is honest about what those costs are). Breeding is fun, and it is heartbreaking. it’s amazing to raise a foal and watch it blossom into a healthy, happy riding horse. Just be prepared to spend a great deal of unrecoverable money doing it. Lynne Flaherty Woodinville, WA

The Perils of Horse-Shopping Tank you, thank you, thank you for writing the article on suggested etiquette of selling a horse (“Ringside: Some Friendly Advice to Sellers,” December/January). i have been searching for a new mount for the last few months and don’t feel i am any closer to fnding that new horse. Ads without a price that say “serious inquiry only” are everywhere. How do i know if i am serious if they don’t list a price? Most ads say they

USDF’s 40th Anniversary i was very interested in the article about the founding of the USDF (“Trough the Years,” november) and discovered that i knew two people involved with the early years. As a junior, i rode at the Princeton Riding Club in new Jersey, where Jack Fritz and Betsy (Mrs. Fritz) Coester were associated. Mrs. Anita Hazek, who owned the club, was “the expert,” and i had a few lessons with her. Alas, there was not much, if anything, in the way of dressage competitions in the mid-1950s, and we juniors went the way over the fences. But what goes ’round comes ’round, and i may be trying my luck as a Century Club competitor with my Toroughbred mare, who will be 26 this coming year. Elizabeth C. Gathright Batesville, VA

Tank you for your recent editorial piece! i am in the middle of horseshopping. it was easier to fnd a husband. Te pricing has been all over the map, and “currently” can be any time within the last fve years.

Anyway, thanks for saying what

14 February 2014 • USDF ConneCtion

editorial@usdf.org

so many of us are saying as we pull out of the latest farm, having seen a horse that doesn’t exactly resemble the one advertised. i’m sure, having sold horses before, that there is plenty of fodder for an editorial about bad buyers; but for me, during this season of my life, you have really hit the nail on the head. Joy Cobb Greensboro, NC Ms. Bryant’s message to sellers of horses was a much-appreciated reminder to all of us, but she left out a huge piece of advice: invest in x-rays! As someone who participates on both sides of the market, it has become clear to me that an investment in a complete set of current x-rays, though expensive, is worth every penny in the long run. i recently completed a two-and-a-half-year search for a dressage horse—a hunt that included three unsuccessful prepurchase exams. it doesn’t seem outrageous to have an expectation of prepurchase success for a horse priced at fve fgures or more. on the last of my failed prepurchases, a chip was found on the fnal x-ray of 32 pictures. not only did i then have a large bill for a horse i couldn’t buy, but i was also devastated because i loved the horse and the search had been so long. At the same time, the seller not only no longer had a buyer but also now had a horse for whom the vet was recommending immediate surgery. And she had already paid an agent to train, show, and represent the horse. Presale radiographs would have allowed both of us to make more informed decisions and spared us both a great deal of disappointment and wasted time. As a sometime seller myself, i understand the expense, especially in barns with multiple sales horses, but consider this: A horse with a bad x-ray is probably never going to sell for a huge price. Knowing what you have to sell can help you make better decisions on price and what sort of representation or training to put into the project. Conversely, you

might make a much-needed sale if you have clean x-rays to ofer. i sold two young horses at the very worst of the economic downturn because they had clean x-rays. Te cost cut into my profts, but i didn’t face additional training costs, entry fees, or advertising costs. Susan Van Huis Whitehall, NY

What Size Are You? FEI Offers S-M-L Tour Options

ig tour too big? Small tour too small? now, like Goldilocks, Fei-level competitors can fnd the tour that’s just right. to aid competitors in making the steep step up from the small tour (Prix St. Georges and intermediate i levels) to the big tour (intermediate ii and Grand Prix levels), the Fédération Equestre Internationale (Fei) has introduced the medium tour. it consists of the newly created intermediate A and B tests, which took efect January 1 and which may be ofered at both CDis (Fei-recognized dressage competitions) and US equestrian Federation-licensed/USDF-recognized dressage competitions. Also taking efect January 1 were revised Fei intermediate ii, Grand Prix, and Grand Prix Special tests. All Fei tests are available at fei.org. Te Fei’s announcement threw the USeF and the USDF into a shortlived conundrum regarding qualifers, programs, and championships, given that the US dressage competition year—utilizing the previous Fei tests and program rules—commenced December 1, 2013. Here is how things

will shake out for 2014: USeF dressage competitions may ofer all Fei tests efective January 1, 2014. CDi organizers should refer to the updated Fei rules. For the USeF Young Adult “Brentina Cup” Dressage national Championships, when ridden in a CDi within the qualifying period, riders may count either the Fei intermediate ii or the Fei intermediate B toward the ranking list. Tere will be no changes to the tests ridden at the championships. For the Markel/USeF Developing Horse Grand Prix Dressage national Championships, there will be no changes to the tests ridden in the qualifying competitions or at the championships. to qualify for Great American/ USDF Regional Championships, horse/rider combinations will need to use either the intermediate B or the intermediate ii test to qualify for the intermediate B (formerly intermediate ii) championship. At the 2014 Regional Championships and US Dressage Finals, the intermediate B test will be used.

FEI CHANGES: Competitors have new tour options. Shawna Harding and Come Back III contest the Grand Prix at the 2012 USEF Dressage Festival of Champions.

USEF, FEI Drugs & Meds Rule Changes for 2014

he USeF’s (usef.org) new “prohibited practices” rules took efect December 1, 2013. Chief among them is the so-called twelvehour rule (GR 414), which prohibits the injection of substances into a horse or pony within twelve hours prior to competing. Tere are only three exceptions to this rule: therapeutic fuids, antibiotics, and dexamethasone (Azium) for the treatment of hives. Te Fei has made changes, efective January 1, 2014, to its own lists of prohibited and banned substances. new to the list of prohibited substances are metformin, an oral anti-diabetic drug with a potential welfare risk; and levothyroxine, an exogenous thyroid hormone replacement that could enhance performance. Adrenocortico-trophic hormone

(ACtH), previously a banned substance, was reclassifed a controlled medication due to its therapeutic value in equine medicine. Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), and injectable ammonium chloride have been added to the Fei’s list of banned substances because they are considered to have a potential for abuse or to improve athletic performance.

erhaps the butterfies started when they crossed the state line, and rolling green felds dotted with horses began to fan out from either side of the highway. Possibly it was when they caught sight of the miles of white four-board fencing surrounding the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. Maybe it wasn’t until they got their frst glimpse of the lavishly decorated Alltech Arena that they were struck by the scope of the event. Whenever it happened, dressage competitors from across the nation knew they had arrived at something big—really big. Te long-awaited dream of a national head-to-head US dressage championships for all levels fnally became a reality november 7-10, 2013. After years of (sometimes heated) discussion, the USDF Board of Governors in 2011 approved the establishment of a national championships, with the ambitious goal of instituting the event less than two years later. Designed to be an extension of the popular Great American/USDF Regional Championships, the inaugural US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan would showcase riders and horses from around the country from training Level to Grand Prix, in adult-amateur and open divisions. Building an event of this magnitude from scratch was a daunting task: every detail, from the qualifcation system to the awards ceremonies, had to be planned. An organizing committee was formed to bring together leaders in competition management and logistics. Headed by then USDF secretary Janine Malone, the committee also consisted of fellow USDF executive Board members George Williams, Lloyd Landkamer, Debra Reinhardt, and Kevin Bradbury; experienced show secretary Monica Fitzgerald; and USDF stafers, led by executive director Stephan Hienzsch and senior director of member programs Cindy Vimont. Using an innovative online system designed specifcally for the US Dressage Finals, USDF members submitted more than 2,000 online declarations of interest across 24 divisions as the frst step toward qualifcation. “Declared” horse/rider combinations then attended one of the nine Great American/USDF Regional Championships. Teir goal: earn an invitation to the Finals either by placing in the top fve in their championship classes or by earning scores high enough to garner a “wild card.” Tose who achieved a top-fve placing or a wild-card score at the Regionals were then asked to “nominate” for the Finals, thereby expressing their defnite intention to attend the Finals; the fnal phase was the submission of actual entries. Ultimately, the inaugural US Dressage Finals drew 304 entries (136 adult amateur and 168 open) representing all nine USDF regions, with Region 3 having the highest number of entries (71) and Region 6 being the lowest, with

a single entry. By state, Florida (36), texas (20), and illinois (18) sent the most competitors. “For the frst year, i’m very pleased with the representation from across the country,” said USDF president George Williams. “to me, one of the loudest messages coming out of the Finals is that it defnitely was time to have this, especially for adult amateurs. Tere’s been so much enthusiasm, and i think it provides motivation and excitement for riders to achieve new goals. Te phrase i’ve heard people saying the most is that they are ‘realizing their dreams,’ and for me that’s been very moving. i’m so pleased that USDF was able to provide this opportunity for our members.”

Show Time! Region 9 competitor eva oldenbroek tabor was the frst US Dressage Finals exhibitor to canter down center line of the Alltech Arena, for her intermediate ii test aboard Uberlinus. “When i frst walked in, i said, ‘oh my God look at all this!’” said tabor, of Medina, tX. “it looks like a european World Cup venue. Te footing is fantastic, and the whole setup is just beautiful. From the moment we arrived, everything has been super well organized, just like a top-class event.” “i rode in the then-American Horse Shows Association [AHSA] national championships in 1984 in Kansas City, and i’ve been waiting for them to come back ever since,” said fellow Finals competitor Heather Mason, of tewksbury, nJ. “i think the organizers here have done an excellent job making this feel like a national championship. it feels like a really big deal to be here.” Te four days of Finals action and the related “USDF Dressage in the Bluegrass” USeF-licensed/USDF-recognized dressage competitions featured classes held in four USDF ConneCtion

Following each Finals awards ceremony, champions at all levels met the equestrian media at press conferences— a frst for many competitors, particularly the amateurs. All the while, friends and family members back home as well as dressage fans from around the world followed the action through online streaming of select performances on the popular USeF network. “Te competitors have been terrifc; everyone is so positive and happy to be here. i think we were truly able to provide the type of championship experience that we hoped and dreamed it would be,” said Williams. “one of the most poignant experiences for me was standing in the awards ceremonies and seeing the riders’ reactions. Many of them became so overwhelmed they couldn’t even speak. i think that says it all.” But the Finals weren’t just about competing for national honors, prizes, and more than $50,000 in prize money.

ix months before the US Dressage Finals, the idea of traveling to Kentucky was the last thing on Jane Manfredi’s mind. After a sixteen-year partnership, she had just lost her beloved semiretired Grand Prix horse, Incognito, to complications following colic surgery. Immersing herself in her work as a large-animal veterinarian and PhD candidate at Michigan State University wasn’t enough to fll the hole in her heart. “Knowing that when I fnished with work I wouldn’t be going to the barn to see him left me empty,” said Manfredi, of Okemos, MI. “I was basically staying at home sitting on the couch; and instead of healing over time, I was just getting increasingly sad. But at the same time I couldn’t move on; I wasn’t ready for another horse.” But fate intervened. “Betsy Ball is the head eventing trainer at Red Bud Farms in Mississippi; we have been friends since my veterinary internship eight years ago,” Manfredi said. “She happened to mention my story to one of her clients, Meredith Michelfelder of Midway Farms in Alabama. [Michelfelder] thought she might have a horse for me.” Other commitments were preventing Michelfelder from spending as much time as she wanted with her homebred eleven-year-old Oldenburg gelding, D’Artagnon. She offered to freelease “Calvin” to Manfredi. “I couldn’t believe it,” Manfredi said. “I didn’t know if I was ready to have another horse in my life, but Meredith would be happy to know that Calvin would have a full-time job again, as he was happiest when working and showing. So after just seeing a video, I drove from Michigan to Alabama over Memorial Day weekend to see him. It defnitely was a gamble, but I thought it might help me get through this bad time.” Standing almost eighteen hands, Calvin made an immediate impression on the fve-feet-four Manfredi. “Despite his intimidating size, he worked his way into my heart and everyone else’s too. He’s the most laidback, kind, gentle soul in this huge body.” After only two months together, Manfredi decided to enter a dressage show just for fun, but she surprised herself by earning Great American/ USDF Regional Championship qualifying scores in

her Third Level adult-amateur division. “By the second show, where we once again got great scores, I started HEALER: D’Artagnon, the borrowed mount to wonder,” of adult amateur rider Jane Manfredi she said. “Then the e-mails from USDF started coming about declaring and nominating for Finals, and I thought, ‘Why the heck not?’” Then disaster struck. A week before the Region 2 Championships, Calvin pulled a hay feeder over on himself, causing cuts to his front legs and jeopardizing the trip to Wayne, IL. Thanks to Manfredi’s veterinary expertise and fast healing, the pair did indeed make it down center line, but their test was a disappointment. “During our test, a cop went fying down the road next to the arenas with his sirens blaring, chasing after a speeding motorcyclist,” said Manfredi. “That made for some tense canter work! All things considered, I was happy with our test but saddened that we didn’t make the top two so that we could go to the Finals.” Manfredi thought her dream was over until she received a wild-card invitation to the Finals, where she and Calvin placed ninth in the Third Level Adult Amateur Championship. For Manfredi, even more meaningful than the neck sash and the victory lap was the experience. “Calvin’s owner came to watch, as well as a whole bunch of friends; everyone was there to cheer us on. It was amazing to me to see how many people came from so far away to be a part of this, and it gave me a chance to reconnect with old friends from around the country who I hadn’t seen in years. Plus it was a ton of fun! “My trip to the US Dressage Finals was an amazing and unexpected one,” Manfredi continued. “It started out very sad, but the entire experience of this year has made me appreciate the horses and people in my life all the more. Thanks to wonderful friends and a very special horse, they’ve helped me heal a broken heart.”

And then once i was here, everything ran so smoothly and was just

Our Journey to the Finals: Toni Rogers and Flagmount’s Trademark

VICTORIA TROUT/USDF

f the approximately 300 horses at the Kentucky Horse Park for the US Dressage Finals, the overwhelming majority were warmbloods. But several “nontraditional” breeds made their mark. Toni Rogers’ frst equestrian love is foxhunting. Six years ago, she purchased a fashily marked weanling Irish Draught colt named Flagmount’s Trademark. “I saw some photos of him and I liked his bloodlines, so I took a chance that he would be my next jumper and feld hunter,” said Rogers, of Atlanta, GA. “As a young horse, he defnitely didn’t scream ‘dressage prospect.’ But the breed is known to be very versatile. Since I’m an amateur, I wanted something that would eventually be able to do more than one discipline, but that most of all would be safe.” After breaking and training her colt herself, Rogers took “Mark” on hound walks and fox hunts before competing in some eventing and jumper shows, but his career interests seemed to be elsewhere. Last year, Rogers began working with Amber Clark at AMC Training & Sales in Milton, GA, where they discovered Mark’s hidden talent for dressage. “His gaits became lovely, and he was so eager to learn,” said Rogers. “Collection, extensions, lateral work—he loves it all. Because he was so enthusiastic, his training progressed quickly, and his strength and compact size made tough movements easy for him to handle. He has the attitude of a schoolmaster and never gets fustered, even though he’s so young; and as a newcomer to the sport I’m still

fguring all this out!” Rogers and her fashy partner went from their frst dressage competition in January to qualifying for the Great American/ EYE-CATCHING: Toni Rogers and her Irish USDF Region 3 Draught gelding, Flagmount’s Trademark, Championships— competed at Training and First Levels where they were a little overwhelmed. “There were over ffty people in my Training Level Adult Amateur class, and almost ffty at First Level; it was crazy,” she said. “Fractions of points separated all the placings. So I couldn’t believe it when we saw the results and realized we’d scored well enough to earn wild cards for both divisions. I was practically jumping up and down with excitement!” There were no ribbons waiting for Rogers in Kentucky, but she was proud of her horse. “Despite a few relatively minor mistakes that were defnitely rider error, I was fairly happy. Mark was a bit frisky in the cool weather, and he wanted to show off his lengthenings throughout our entire Training Level test!” she laughed. “I was blown away by the quality of horses here, and it’s always good to see the standard that you need to be to be on top. The energy and atmosphere of the show was great. I felt inspired.”

great. Congratulations to the show organizers; i think this has exceeded everyone’s expectations, and i’ll be returning home and spreading the word in California that we have to come back en masse.”

Where Do We Go from Here? Although riders competing at the US Dressage Finals represented all nine USDF regions, there were noticeably low numbers from the western states: regions 5, 6, and 7 combined had only seventeen entries. Te investments of time and money required to travel to Kentucky were considered the key reasons for the low turnout from these regions. “to be realistic, the country is very large. Tere’s no way to have it in a location that can support the scope of this event and be easily accessible for everyone,” said Williams. “So our US Dressage Finals Competitor Classifcations

frst goal is to make it the best event we can and provide a rewarding experience for competitors so that they feel like it was worth the trip. i envision it becoming a ‘destination’ type of event like many other breeds and disciplines currently have.” Te Finals will remain in Kentucky for the next two years, but with an eye toward moving the location in the future, according to Williams. “From the beginning, what was presented to the Board of Governors was that we would try to rotate the event every three years from east to west, and that goal is still in mind,” he said. in the meantime, Williams is already thinking about making the second edition of the Finals even better. “We’d love to see it continue to grow while maintaining the outstanding quality of competition we saw here,” he noted. “We’re already talking about improvements for next year and how we can reach more people and perhaps nurture even more regional pride. i hope that the Finals will also help grow the regional Championships: Hopefully more people will now try to qualify for the regionals in order to possibly make it to the Finals in the future. So it reaches a broader audience and provides them with another goal, and i think that this will have a trickle-down efect and draw more of a base of support for our sport.” s Jennifer M. Keeler, of Paris, KY, is an author and photographer and the owner of Yellow Horse Marketing, which specializes in public-relations work for the equine industry. She competes in several disciplines with her World Champion palomino Quarter Horse, Whistlin Dixi Time, as well as combined driving with her rescued Hackney pony, Harpo.

CONFORMATION ANALYSIS: Colored yarn strands show angles and plumb lines to evaluate in considering a horse’s aptitude for dressage work

ow do i evaluate a horse’s potential for dressage? what things should i check when looking to purchase a sport horse? Many Usdf members want to know the answers to these questions, judging by the standing-roomonly crowd at a session at december’s 2013 adequan/ Usdf national convention in lexington, Ky. dressage sport-horse breeding judges Kristi wysocki and william solyntjes, presenters of the 2014 Usdf sport horse seminar (see sidebar), ofered a summary of the major issues

64 February 2014 • Usdf cOnnectiOn

to consider in selecting a sport horse. entitled “Te good, the Bad, and the Ugly: finding your dressage sport horse,” the session ofered an overview of how to evaluate a horse’s strengths and weaknesses, regardless of breed or budget.

’s Plan of Attack according to wysocki and solyntjes, before you start horseshopping in earnest, it’s important to establish criteria that will help to narrow the choices. By doing so, you’ll also help to clarify what kind of horse you’re looking for.

ask yourself: what do i want? what can i aford? what can i accept? what should i walk away from? ideally with a knowledgeable instructor who knows you well, formulate a description of your dream horse. Be realistic as to what will work for you. is it a quiet lower-level partner? an upper-level schoolmaster? a talented young prospect? a clear-eyed look at your dressage goals and at your riding experience and skill level is part of this process. next, the budget. Tis may include not only the sales price but also horse-shopping travel expenses, commissions, veterinary fees for the prepurchase exam, and costs to transport your new horse home, wysocki and solyntjes reminded. Our judges focused their lecture on the last two items: what to accept and what to walk away from.

No Horse Is Perfect, but… …while some faws can be tolerated, others spell an ify future for the horse as a sound, happy, suitable dressage partner. your task as a buyer is to know which are which. note: we’re not talking about preexisting health or soundness problems here. if you go to look at a sale horse that’s sick or lame, or if you’re not willing to live with something in its health history, then obviously you’re not going to pursue that horse further. wysocki and solyntjes drew a distinction among minor faws, moderate issues, and severe faults. Te latter, they said, are likely to short-circuit a horse’s dressage career and therefore are the “walk away” indicators. let’s look at the three areas on which our experts base their equine evaluations.

Conformation conformation is more than good looks. it encompasses what wysocki and solyntjes call the horse’s balance and foundation, as well as the connections between body parts. although conformation should be evaluated in tandem with movement (which we’ll discuss in a minute), the way a horse is put together is an indicator of what kinds of tasks he’s best suited for, and how likely he is to remain sound over the course of his chosen career. Tis is where the dressage “breed issue” comes up. during the session, wysocki and solyntjes showed numerous photographs of horses of all breeds. Many were prize-winning examples of their breeds, but because of their build, some may fnd the demands of dressage more difcult, the experts said. start by looking at the horse’s overall balance—the total picture. “can you picture this horse doing dressage? does he have an ‘uphill’ tendency? Tese are more important if your goal is the higher levels,” solyntjes said. to aid in your conformation critique, bring a still camera as well as a video camera to the sales appointment, wysocki recommended. take photos of the horse unsaddled and in the classic conformation pose (near legs perpendicular to the ground, of legs slightly toward the horse’s midline) for later scrutiny. aided by horse photographs with colorful strands of yarn attached, wysocki and solyntjes showed how to evaluate a horse’s conformation using plumb lines. start by determining the pivot point: the intersection of a vertical

Temperament careful observation will yield valuable clues about a horse’s personality. wysocki and solyntjes advise watching the horse’s ears and eyes. a worried or tense expression, pinned ears, and the like may indicate fear, tension, or physical discomfort. watch the horse being groomed, tacked up, and handled in hand. during work, tail-swishing can be a sign of tension, wysocki and solyntjes said. a raised tail can indicate a tight back. to tire a horse and make him seem quieter, some sellers will work him before the buyer arrives. “show up a little early,” wysocki advised.

line from the highest point of withers to the ground, and a horizontal line from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttocks (see photo on page 64 for an illustration). Te further forward and lower the pivot point, the more “downhill” the horse’s build. For dressage, the ideal location of the pivot point (indicating an “uphill” build) is higher and further back, closer to where the rider sits, they said. Such a horse can more easily lighten his forehand and carry weight over his hindquarters. Dressage work is easier for a horse with this conformation, and therefore he may stand a better chance of remaining sound. Appearances can be deceiving, which is why it’s important to do the plumb-line tests, the experts said. to illustrate the point, they compared a photo of a warmblood to one of a stock horse. Both horses were attractive, with withers about level with their hindquarters. But the plumb lines revealed that the stock horse’s pivot point was much further forward, the result of a higher buttocks point and lower shoulder point. Combined with a wither set closer to the forehand, which moved the pivot point even further forward, that particular stock horse is apt to fnd the demands of true collection more challenging than the pictured warmblood, they said. next, draw a line representing the horse’s shoulder angle, beginning at the point of the shoulder and extending upward. Draw a second line representing the hip angle, beginning at the point of the hip. Te two lines will intersect somewhere over the top of the horse. Draw a vertical line from the intersection point to the ground; the place that this line crosses the horse’s body indicates his center of balance. For dressage, the ideal center of balance coincides with the deepest point of the saddle, where the rider sits; it is then easier for the rider to sit “with” the horse, Wysocki and

Solyntjes said. A center of balance located farther forward, as with a forward pivot point, indicates a greater challenge in developing uphill balance. to fnd a horse’s pillar of support, draw a vertical line through the groove of the forearm. For better odds of longevity and soundness, this line should be forward of the withers and end in the rear quarter of the hoof. if it falls behind the hoof, the horse may be at greater risk of tendon or ligament strain. A pillar of support that aligns with the front of the hoof indicates greater concussion, Wysocki and Solyntjes said. Te other part to scrutinize is the horse’s loin (the area behind the saddle), which Wysocki and Solyntjes called “the energy-transfer station.” “You want the loin fairly short and well muscled—short from back to front, but wide across,” Wysocki said. Te croup itself should have an angle of at least 15 degrees but not much more than 18 degrees. Te hindquarters themselves should take the shape of an isosceles triangle, and the hock should be slightly higher than the knee, she said. A rectangular-shaped horse—with a balanced front, middle, and hind end—is more desirable than a square one, the experts said. “A rectangular horse does not equal a long horse,” Wysocki said. “Te shape should come from big shoulders and hindquarters, not a long back.” other positive attributes: a well-muscled topline, good depth of heart girth, and long front legs, she said. Conformation faults. Tese are classifed as mild, moderate, or severe. “Recognize serious faults in conformation, and be willing to walk away,” Wysocki said. examples of serious faults: behind at the knee, ewe neck, soft pasterns, a curb, club foot, small feet, a thick throatlatch, steep withers, no withers, roaring, very straight hind legs, long cannon bones, parrot mouth, a very small mouth, severe cow hocks, an overly short loin, and concave hoof walls. Wysocki and Solyntjes also mentioned a couple of headand-neck conformation attributes that can afect performance. First, it is easier for a horse with a fan-shaped poll to go on the bit, they said, because this shape makes poll fexion more comfortable and natural. Another point to watch is the underside of the neck. Some horses have a tendency toward a bulge in this area, and “every inch it bulges lowers the balance point by an inch. Te back drops. Tis can lead to absolute elevation [head and neck raised but back dropped and haunches not lowered] instead of the desired relative elevation [forehand raised as a result of lowered hindquarters],” Solyntjes said.

Gaits and Movement when evaluating a horse’s gaits, “rhythm is number one,” wysocki said. Momentary irregularity is a moderate fault, but persistent irregularity is a serious fault and judges will penalize it harshly, she said. tip: Pay attention to the rhythm as the horse turns, both in hand and under saddle. “you might see a moment of irregularity,” she said. Of the three gaits, the trot is the easiest to improve, while there’s not as much a rider can do to improve the walk. “Te walk must be pure,” solyntjes said. “a huge walk may be prone to rhythm problems.” examine not only the quality of the gaits but also the correctness, the experts said, referring to the desired straight line of travel. some horses paddle (swing the forelimbs out as they travel), which is not considered a serious fault; but winging (swinging the forelimbs inward) is undesirable because the legs can be injured, they said. Plaiting (placing one foot in front of the other) is a severe fault.

don’t let yourself be so dazzled by extravagant gaits that you overlook rhythm problems or other severe faults, the experts cautioned. Big movement alone doesn’t guarantee success. “Tree normal gaits and a good mind will get you closer to the fei ring than anything,” solyntjes said. s

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

fter Ballerina DMV earned the 2012 Adequan/ USDF Materiale Horse of the Year title, her owners, trainer, and breeder set a goal of qualifying her for the 2013 Fei World Breeding Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden, Germany, as a fve-year-old. But the pursuit of titles paled to insignifcance when her dam, Dreaming DMV, “prolapsed delivering Ballerina’s full sister,” says DMV trainer John Dingle. He and DMV breeder Jill Giese “canceled our competition plans and concentrated on bringing the mare through.” After a lengthy struggle (and with help on the vet bills from Ballerina’s lead owner, Leroy “Bus” Fuller, longtime Canadian restaurateur and founder of the earls and Joey’s chains), they succeeded—and celebrated by naming the new flly Believe DMV. For Ballerina, the showing cutback meant no Verden, no Markel/USeF Young Horse Championships, and fewer appearances overall. But in just three competitions, and despite little time for preparation, the mare earned top scores that resulted in her again winning the Materiale title. Dingle credits this success to the support of the Fullers and “Ballerina’s genetic gift of incredible paces. Her purity of movement will not disappear because we haven’t been practicing.” He was “chufed to bits” upon learning that the mare had topped her own USDF-record median score of 88.5 percent in 2012 with an 89-percent median in 2013. (Dingle and Giese are also “chufed” at Dreamcatcher Meadows Ventures’ being named the 2013 Adequan/USDF DSHB Breeder of the Year.) Future DMV competition prospects include Ballerina’s frst ofspring, a black colt, Wunderbar DMV, by DMV stal-

lion Windfall CB. Te operation’s in-house embryo-transfer program gives unwanted mares (known as “the Girls’ Club”) a second career as surrogate mothers. Wunderbar’s birth to a failed-racehorse surrogate also completes his genetic mother’s elite-mare candidacy—so Ballerina is now eM Ballerina DMV. Another standout is Dreaming’s flly Believe, who Giese says “is going to be as big as Ballerina, and who shares her gift of incredible movement.” And the DMV 2014 foal crop is expected to number nine, including twin siblings for Wunderbar from Ballerina’s double ovulation. What’s next for Ballerina herself? Fuller, who bought her from DMV as a yearling (“thinking she’d be a horse for our grandkids—before anybody understood what a talented horse we had”),” endorses Giese and Dingle’s current plan to spend this year concentrating on her training. Teir next major goal for her is the Developing Horse Prix St. Georges—and then, they hope, international competition. Tus, Dingle says, their immediate focus will be on “putting in the foundation for these next levels. Ballerina’s a big girl, so the next part of the training question is whether she can collect: sit and carry her weight behind, yet maintain the quality of her expressive movement in the advanced collected work.” For that reason, Dingle and Giese were delighted when, during a clinic this past fall, former US dressage technical advisor Anne Gribbons rode Ballerina, “asking some very difcult questions, focusing on collection—and Ballerina excelled.” So, Dingle says, “the answer was a resounding ‘yes, she is a candidate for playing in the big league!” —D.

Dansuse MF

alf-sister to 2012 trophy winner David Bowie and 2011 winner Duet, Dansuse goes by the nickname Rina—“as in ballerina”—at home, says owner and breeder Maryanna Haymon. “And she’s very aptly named. other horses power of the ground. She taps the ground, then goes airborne and foats forward.” Rina was an embryo-transfer foal who, luckily, had “an outstanding surrogate mother,” Haymon says: “Very maternal. So she got the nurturing and the nutrition that are essential for a good start in life. And she’s very smart, very affectionate, and very outgoing. She has typical young-horse behaviors—but when she spooks, she spooks in place, like a cartoon character: jumps straight up in the air, then runs with all four legs spread out. She loads well and ships well; she stands and goes to sleep while traveling. And she listens well; she knows when to turn it on and when to tamp it down. She’s very easy to deal with.” Showing as a weanling, Rina placed second in the Adequan/USDF 2012 Fillies of Current Year standings. As a yearling, “she showed at Culpeper in June, did the two Raleigh Summer Dressage shows, and then did Devon, where she was fourth in the Yearling Fillies class, and where she and Duet won Get of Sire. She was grand champion at the frst Raleigh show and reserve at Culpeper.” And that grand championship “came from the show where she got her lowest score”—in a class that had “a jumper class literally right next door.” Rina, says Haymon, is “a special girl. She’s got everything i breed for. She has the amateur [friendly] temperament but the sensitivity you’d want for a pro. She learns fast, and she

trusts the person on the other end of the line. She’s got the mechanics, and she’s got the conformation to stand up for the job. So—as with ‘Davie’ and Duet—we’ve decided to hang onto her and develop her at least until age four or fve or six.” every year Haymon selects one or two horses this way; “i see the potential for Grand Prix in them, so i want to make sure they have a good start.” Tis year, Haymon says, Rina’s job is “being a kid and growing up.” She’ll start learning to lunge, “and during the summer she’ll probably muscle up a little on the Aqua-tred near our farm.” As for showing, the flly might go along to Devon with Davie, “but that would be it.” Rina is “one of those gangly youngsters,” so Haymon doesn’t want to “stress her tendons or joints by putting her under tack before she’s ready. She’ll probably be backed as a late three-year-old,” and “she could begin making a name for herself by the time she’s fve.” Although Haymon usually takes her young horses up the levels, Rina “may go the Young Horse route; she’s fancy enough for that.” either way, of course, “the goal is Grand Prix.” But dressage potential isn’t Rina’s only gift. near Haymon’s farm lives a young woman who was very involved with horses until a car wreck left her severely disabled. When possible, Haymon says, “her nurse rolls her wheelchair to our barn so she can visit whichever horse i think will be safe for her.” Te young woman’s interactions with Rina have apparently helped stimulate her body to regain some motion and vocal ability. Again, Haymon says, “Rina is a special girl.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

canning the catalog at the 2012 elite oldenburg Auction in Germany with a horse-shopping client, trainer Cindy Snowden liked Question’s looks and was interested in his bloodlines. But her client “didn’t want too big a horse, and Question’s gaits were enormous.” Snowden continued looking, but she also called another client, equine veterinarian Lee Garrod, who was studying the catalog back home. “i’m fve feet ten, so is Lee, and she loves big horses. i told her that if i were here for myself, Question was the horse i’d buy.” With Garrod’s assent, Snowden bid on him—and her bid won. Question came to the States, and Garrod rode him through the winter. But in March—with two other horses that she intended to compete, six equine practices to oversee, and family responsibilities—the veterinarian asked Snowden to take over the ride on the now fve-year-old gelding. Snowden hadn’t competed for three years. With “an arthritic hip and a chronic rotator-cuf injury,” she’d focused on teaching and training. “i accepted the ride, but i told Lee i’d show Question only if i felt i could be competitive.” (Garrod remembers, however, that “at the beginning of the season, Cindy said, ‘i’d like to get to the nationals.’ And i thought, ‘Well, oK!’”) in their debut test, in May, Snowden remembers, Question “was very tense; i thought it was a disaster. But it was good enough to earn a 67 percent. Te next test, at that same show, we scored an 82 percent—and he got a 10 on gaits because he was positively tense. i was thrilled. At the next two shows, we scored above 80 again.” Still, “i never would have had a young horse do the eight tests needed to qualify for Horse of the Year—except that i knew those three tests over 80 had put him in contention.”

Snowden started competing Question at First Level during the summer but “continued to put in a training Level test at each show. in every test, i took my time, let him react the way he needed to react, encouraged him. And at every show he got better at dealing with new situations. By the end of the season, it didn’t matter how scary the venue was; he was able to put his trust in me, and we were able to put in a very good test. i wanted his young-horse experience to be positive because the ‘brickwork’ you lay in the beginning is key to the future horse. i wanted to make him a well-rounded individual that Lee could eventually show and enjoy. “We competed in only fve shows, but Question was high-point at four of those fve. So i felt fairly confdent that we would be in the top ten. But i never dreamed he’d get Horse of the Year.” Additionally, Snowden did, as she’d hoped, qualify for the US Dressage Finals. At press time, 2014 plans for Question were not frm— though Garrod has sent him and her USDF silver-medal partner Royal Christmas to Florida for some winter training and showing with 1999 Pan American Games silver medalist Shannon Dueck. Te 2015 Pan Am Games will be in toronto, and Garrod (who’s Canadian) is “planning to put my all into qualifying” for team Canada’s dressage squad. Tat’s meant putting both Question and Royal Christmas up for sale, though she’d “love to keep” them both—and says that if they don’t sell, “somehow i’ll fnd a way to make it work.” Snowden acknowledges that Garrod’s pursuing her Pan Am goal “might mean letting go of this fne young horse, and that’s fne with me. i’ve had my dream come true. now it’s time for my clients to realize their dreams.” —D.

nnetta Coleman established High Valley Hanoverians to produce US-bred Hanoverian horses “comparable to those bred in Germany” and appropriate for the adult-amateur market. Her foundation mares are all elite or states premium Hanoverians, selected for mild temperaments, trainability, and athleticism. She looks for the same qualities in the sires she selects. During a course in Germany that included visits to Hanoverian farms and young-horse training facilities, Coleman became particularly interested in Don Frederico, a stallion in the State Stud at Celle. Unable to fnd a Don Frederico mare that she thought would suit her program, she “decided to breed my own.” But the ofspring produced by Don Frederico and the elite mare Wrufan Q was not a flly but “a beautiful, dynamic colt.” named Don Frederic HVH, the youngster soon “showed exceptional athleticism,” Coleman says. “We began campaigning him in 2012, his four-year-old year. He was reserve champion in the [Adequan/USDF] Materiale Four- and Five-Yearold Stallions and Geldings, placed fourth in the Markel/USeF Young Horse Championships, was Region 3 open training Level champion, and won his classes at Dressage at Devon.” in 2013, “Freddy” was Adequan/USDF Horse of the Year at First Level and in Materiale Four- and Five-Year-old Stallions/Geldings, and was again a Young Horse Championships fnalist. Besides ability, Coleman says, Freddy has an “awesome temperament and a great personality. He’s friendly, easygoing, and enjoys his work, particularly the upper-level movements. So once in a while we’d introduce something from a higher level, play with it a little, and then very carefully put it away again, especially if he was campaigning.” For exam-

ple, Freddy’s “able to do beautiful fying changes. But when we were getting him ready for the Five-Year-old test, where he’d have to do a lot of counter-canter, we sort of tucked his changes away while developing his counter-canter, now that he’s fnished with the Five-Year-old test, we’ve taken the changes out again; he’s doing four-tempis, learning to do halfsteps, and working his half-passes at the trot and the canter.” Brandi Benedict, who’s had the ride on Freddy since August, remembers that the frst time she sat on him, “the big thing i felt was the power under me: He’s got a ton of suspension and a super canter. But he’s also a really nice, willing guy. He has some fre in him, but he’s really level-headed, willing to try, and talented.” even better, “he’s very much the same at shows and at home; that’s been a pleasure. He takes the show atmosphere very well. And he’s fun to ride: Besides having a lot of power, he’s also very elegant-looking.” But High Valley Hanoverians isn’t Freddy’s permanent address. “We do not stand a stallion, and geldings don’t have a place in our long-term program,” Coleman says. “our mission is to be a breeding and training operation—and though we have trainers able to take him to the next level, we need to focus our energies and our fnances on our core mission.” Still, she’s enjoyed “having a relationship with Freddy on a day-in/day-out basis, watching him demonstrate the quality of our breeding program and training program, and seeing him have the success he’s had—which is helping us get the word out about us. “With the right rider and trainer,” Coleman says, “Freddy will continue to be an outstanding performer.” He’s scheduled to show in Florida this winter, and she’s “confdent he’ll fnd the perfect home once he gets to Wellington.” —D.

anting to cross her “nice Arab mare” with a warmblood stallion, Marchella Richardson purchased a breeding from Hilltop Farm. Ten “for two years we gave it the old college try, but no luck.” Hilltop allowed her to apply the breeding fee to buying one of its coming 2007 babies—and one broodmare, Roxette, “claimed me: nose in my pocket, trying to eat my camera. i said, ‘She’s my girl; i’ll take whatever she’s got in the oven.’” Richardson was at the 2007 World Cup Final in Las Vegas when the foal arrived; Hilltop “e-mailed me a picture of him: standing up, ‘in charge.’” She named him Boccaccio (“i wanted a literary name”)—and when she frst saw him, at about six weeks, “he was everything i thought he’d be.” “Bo” spent his frst three years in Hilltop’s young-horse program. As a yearling he won the grand championship at Fair Hill; as a two-year-old, he was east Coast Final champion colt at Dressage at Devon. But not long after being started under saddle at age three, he sustained a turnout injury. He stayed on stall rest for about seven months, then was eased back into activity with hand-walking, hand-grazing, and water-treadmill time. Visiting Bo during his layup, Richardson met trainer Debbie Hill. As they became better acquainted, Richardson told the trainer, “i’d love for you to work with Bo some day.” When the now four-year-old got cleared to go home, Hill happened to be at a nearby symposium; “we arranged that i’d bring Bo to Alabama with me.” After all his time of, Hill says, Bo seemed “almost like an unbroken horse. He hadn’t been ridden for so long that he actually bucked of my assistant trainer, Katie Stoy. So we started over from square one, with her laying over him a

little, then me leading her on him.” Stoy rode for the frst 60 days; then Hill took him on. Bo struck Hill as “very pretty and sweet, but volatile, almost a little crazy: jumping in the air, hard to lead. But horses that have been stalled up for a long time are on edge. it takes them a while to relax and understand that they will get to go out in the paddock and have time to ‘be a horse.’” Bo needed about a month; after that, he “became very easy to work with.” Hill adds, “He’s had a super canter right from the get-go: quick of the leg, light in the hand, balanced—a nice way of going. And he wants to work.” Tat work ethic led to an amazing achievement. early on, Hill remembers, Richardson was expressing interest in the Young Horse program. But “that’s kind of an advanced program; very rarely could a horse do it after not doing anything in his three-year-old year.” Hill “didn’t want to push him. i wanted to be very careful. “But Bo is such a trier: You show him something and he’s ready to go. in September 2011, i thought there was no way. By early spring of 2012, i was thinking ‘maybe.’ Tat May we went out and did our frst Five-Year-old test; in August he ended up placing ffth among fve-year-olds in the Markel/ USeF national Young Horse Championships. Ten in 2013 he placed sixth in the Six-Year-old division.” in 2013 Bo also won the First and Second Level open titles in Region 3, and was named Adequan/USDF Second Level Horse of the Year. At the inaugural US Dressage Finals, he was champion at First Level and reserve at Second. to Richardson, Bo is “just the nicest horse i’ve ever owned.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Caliente DG

hen equine veterinarian Brenda Linman and dressage trainer Craig Stanley “went looking for a horse we could own together,” Linman says, “it turned into a bit of a project because each of us was particular about the things we wanted.” Teir search eventually led to California breeder Willy Arts’s DG Bar Ranch, where they found Caliente. Upper-level potential is tough to assess in a yearling or two-year-old, Stanley says, but Caliente’s “pedigree was attractive, her movement was powerful and economical, and her conformation was very good.” For Linman, seeing the flly’s mother move of with a baby at her side “kind of sealed it for me. if she could look like that as a broodmare, one of her ofspring in training could probably really move.” Tey brought the two-year-old home, “Craig started doing ground work with her pretty much immediately, and she kept impressing us with how quickly she picked things up,” Linman says. Stanley is pleased that Caliente has matured to “a good size” for his almost-six-foot frame. He’s even more pleased with “her willingness to work: Tere’s no ‘back down’ on her. Te way she just goes forward and keeps trying is pretty incredible.” Linman agrees: “it’s fabulous to watch a horse that goes out and gives her all every time. She puts 150-percent efort into whatever she does.” When Caliente was three, “we started her at training Level, just to get her out,” Linman says. “i think at least once she got an 80 percent.” Her performance was so solid that, besides planning to take her up the levels, Linman and Stanley qualifed her for the Markel/USeF Young Horse Championships all three years she was eligible.

Her frst year, as a four-year-old, “was oK,” Stanley says. “She got ffth; i was kind of hoping for more. Te second, she didn’t do too well on the second ride. But in 2013 it all came together; in some people’s minds, it was the best they’d ever seen her go.” Caliente not only placed third but was recognized as the top-placing US-bred competitor—and one of only two horses who’d made it to the Four-, Five-, and SixYear-old championships. Looking ahead, Stanley, who takes lessons with veteran judge Melissa Creswick whenever he can, thinks Caliente’s changes “are going to be very good. Lateral work can be diffcult for a bigger horse like her—but her half-passes, legyields, and shoulder-in are no problem. She’s going to be pretty nice in the passage; from what she’s shown so far, i expect piafe to be good as well. Her walk is very clear and very rhythmic, but we get comments of ‘doesn’t overreach.’ She does overreach a bit, but never enough. on the other hand, Anne Gribbons told me at this year’s Young Horse competition that it’s ‘a very safe walk,’ and the kind of walk you’d want going into Grand Prix. With Grand Prix being our ultimate goal, that’s fne by me.” Stanley will begin 2014 with Caliente at Fourth Level; “somewhere along the way we’ll come out at Prix St. Georges. Developing Horse is for seven- to nine-year-olds, so we’d have three years to do it; if we do, i’d rather go when she’s stronger and more confrmed. We’re only halfway to the goal of Grand Prix, but i feel we’re on the right track.” He sums up: Caliente is “way, way better than i ever dreamed. i thought we were buying a good horse, but she’s far exceeded my expectations.” —D.

ohn McGuire and his wife, psychologist Marilyn Johnson, “got together rather late—she was thirty-eight; i was fortytwo—and realized we both loved horses.” Tey fox-hunted, galloped, and trail-rode together, but “when we decided to try eventing, our frst dressage test was hysterical. We had absolutely no idea what we were doing.” Tey started taking dressage lessons and eventually realized that “the dressage part was what we really liked. So we decided to focus on that.” When McGuire, now 70, set his sights on Grand Prix, he “went on a mission: looking for a three-year-old mare, approximately seventeen hands, that i could beat the local pros with at a training Level event, ride in a fast drag hunt, that my wife could ride”—and that had the talent and trainability for Grand Prix. An acquaintance suggested calling Pennsylvania breeder Mo Swanson; “she said, ‘i think i have one. i imported her; she’s not broken; and i can let her go.” McGuire, Johnson, and their trainer Heather McCarthy went to look at the horse. “Tey turned Saphira out in the indoor,” McCarthy remembers, “she took three trot steps, and i said. ‘You have to buy her.’” Still, the frst time McGuire rode her at home, “i asked her to pick up a canter on a turn and she kind of lost her balance, got upset, and threw me out of the saddle. Te next day she did the same thing to Heather—who didn’t come of. next time, we jumped her frst, she got her balance, and since then she’s been absolutely perfect.” From their frst show, 2008’s Dressage at Lamplight, McGuire says, “Saphira was knocking down huge scores at training Level. i was riding her and Heather was riding her. She was supposed to be my horse, but she’s a big mare and she’s got this huge movement. i’m pretty strong, but Heather is an ath-

lete—and it takes somebody like her to ride a horse like this.” By mid-2009 he’d turned the ride over entirely to McCarthy— who took Saphira to Adequan/USDF reserve First Level Horse of the Year in 2010 and reserve at Second Level in 2011. in 2012, after an unsuccessful embryo-transfer harvest attempt, Saphira came out at Prix St. Georges and qualifed for the Developing Horse PSG championship. But, noticing she’d “put on so much weight that she looked like a tank,” McGuire had the veterinarian check her. “He came, examined her, and said, ‘Congratulations!’” Six weeks later, and despite a difcult delivery, “we had a beautiful colt. “Five days after the baby came, we started riding Saphira around the property, taking him along,” McGuire says. “We kept her moving and got her back in shape,” helped along by time with trainers Scott Hassler and Jan ebeling. Te efort paid of: in May 2013, Saphira placed fourth in the Developing Horse PSG. At the Region 2 championships, she was frst at Fourth Level and third at PSG. And at the US Dressage Finals, she was champion at Fourth Level one day and at PSG the next. Tis month McCarthy will take Saphira to Wellington. She aims to do two CDis, then seek help with Saphira’s piafe and passage work. Ten they’ll head home and “hunker down to focus on what we’ll need to get her to Grand Prix.” McGuire would like to qualify the mare for the USeF Dressage Festival of Champions and possibly later the Pan Am Games, “but those goals are down the road.

Kristian Kerry

2004 black Andalusian stallion Sire: Selecto Vi e Dam: Marquesa XXXiV

arques, says owner Rhea Scott, is the realization of “a little girl’s dream.” Having decided, “fnally,” to buy a horse of her own, she went to Spain’s epona equestrian Center, whose owners, Jane and Fernando Garcia, she calls “my second family.” Tere, “i went to the gate, then to the back, and straight to Marques.” Te newly arrived stallion wasn’t for sale yet because his information was incomplete. Te Garcias encouraged Scott to consider other horses—“but at the end of fve days, Jane said, ‘You’ve fallen in love, haven’t you? Well, let’s investigate Marques.’” Te horse was determined to be clear for export, and the sale was made. Back home in California, wanting just the right trainer for her stallion and herself, Scott heard the same recommendation several times: Sabine Schut-Kery. So “i called and begged her to see me and Marques.” Schut-Kery remembers Scott asking “if i had room to train Marques and to give her lessons once or twice a week; that was all. i designed the training plan, which was to go back and put the basics on him. “Rhea rode Marques once or twice a week,” Schut-Kery says, “and the two of them were great together. But the more i worked with the horse, the more i came to realize how talented he is. i remember calling Rhea and telling her, ‘Tis horse is a genius.’ “eventually, i showed Marques to my trainer, [olympian] Christine traurig. Her reaction was very clear: ‘Tis horse needs to be developed more. Tis horse needs to be in the show ring.’ Rhea was at that lesson; she told me she’d heard and understood what Christine was saying in German: that Marques was an international horse and needed

to be ridden by only one person. “i looked at Rhea and saw a big smile on her face. She was so proud and happy to have her Marques recognized for his talent. i understood what a sacrifce it would be to give up riding him, but Rhea never wavered. it must have been a heart-wrenching decision, and i am grateful to her for giving me the opportunity.” owner and trainer formed a partnership allowing SchutKery to develop and compete Marques. She started showing him regularly in the spring of 2012. Later that year, however, surgery for an inguinal hernia, followed by a long layup, put his training on hold. in 2013, she brought him out at Prix St. Georges again. Schut-Kery’s next goal is “to do the Developing Grand Prix”—2014 is Marques’s last year of eligibility—“and qualify for the national championships in Chicago.” During a recent USeF Dressage Developing clinic to which Marques was invited, Developing coach Debbie McDonald agreed that the focus should be on getting him to Grand Prix. trainer and owner, meanwhile, continue to be pleased with their partnership. “Rhea is very realistic,” Schut-Kery says. “She knows what it takes; knows that you don’t come across a talent like this every day.” For Scott, the apt word is “serendipity: it was so amazing to fnd Marques and to bring him back. Ten, looking for the right trainer, i came across Sabine, and they’re perfect together. She’s found the best in him; she really believes in him. And whatever obstacle we’ve come across, we’ve been completely in sync about what needs to happen. So i’m happy.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Her Highness o Owner/Rider: Caroline Rofman, Wellington, Florida Breeder: Matthias ohmen, Germany 84 February 2014 â&#x20AC;˘ USDF ConneCtion

picsofyou.com

2003 black 16.1-hand Hanoverian mare Sire: Hohenstein e Dam: Wild Lady o

assachusetts-born Caroline Rofman’s riding accomplishments include fve Young Rider medals, a Five-Year-old and a reserve Six-Year-old championship, and the 2011 Brentina Cup. Last summer, she became the frst-ever US competitor in the Under 25 Grand Prix at the CDi Aachen, placing second aboard Sagacious HF. At fourteen, Rofman launched her career as a working student. A job with trainer Lars Petersen took her to Florida; in her six years at his Wellington barn, “Lars really taught me to make a horse.” When she felt ready to go out on her own, “Wellington seemed the obvious choice.” Her Highness o came to Rofman as a sales horse, “probably the frst i had on my own. i had her sold, but the buyer backed out. So the owner, who needed to sell, made me a deal i couldn’t refuse.” Ten seven coming eight, “Hannah” was a broodmare. She’d been ridden enough to complete her mare-performance test and be approved as an elite mare; then she’d produced three foals. “So, basically, she was an untrained horse.” Rofman planned to train the mare and sell her—but, “luckily, things lined up so i could aford to take her on myself, and i’ve never looked back.” in 2012, her frst year of showing, Hannah was Developing Horse Prix St. Georges Champion. in 2013, she was the intermediate i reserve champion and won the i-i Freestyle at the US Dressage Finals. now she’s getting ready to move up to Grand Prix. “i’d be lying if i said i saw right away that she had this kind of talent. Tere are horses that have much more expressive gaits, but she has three quality, correct gaits. Most important, she’s trainable—and she has so much heart. She

does twice as much as you think she can because of her heart and her ‘try.’ She wants to please. She works for the rider.” Probably Rofman’s biggest training challenge to date has been teaching Hannah fying changes. “She’s a very hot mare, with a lot of energy and electricity. teaching fying changes to a horse like this can be a little nervous-making: You’ve taught her counter-canter; now you’re saying, ‘nope! no countercanter! Flying changes!’ Hannah—who’s an overachiever— took it literally; we had fying changes everywhere. i couldn’t do a twenty-meter circle without a fying change. it took me a year to establish really clean, honest, anybody-could-get-onand-do-one fying changes. i had to teach her to settle and wait, and not get hectic. She tries hard—and sometimes that results in her doing way more than you ask.” Rofman makes sure that Hannah’s life isn’t just work. “We hack at least once or twice a week, and she’s in the ring only three or four times a week. i think that’s part of the reason why, when we went down the center line at Aachen (where they placed seventh at PSG/i-i), she could handle that intimidating atmosphere. i try to do that with all my horses; it’s important that they have time to relax and enjoy being horses.” Tis year Rofman hopes to “start doing international Grands Prix—CDis—and see where it goes. She’s going to be a green Grand Prix horse, but one thing i know is that she’ll be giving 150 percent. For me, showing Grand Prix would be the cherry on top of a really great sundae. if she takes us someplace awesome, i’m happy to be along for the ride. i try to show her to her best and make sure she’s having fun.” —D.

sharon pacKer

2003 chestnut 16.1-hand Dutch Warmblood gelding Sire: Riverman-iSF e Dam: Welona

nother year, another title. in 2008, Heather Mason’s Warsteiner earned Horse of the Year designation at First Level. in 2009, Tird Level. in 2010, Fourth Level. in 2012, Prix St. Georges. And in 2013, intermediate ii. Going into 2013, Mason chose to make i-ii Warsteiner’s initial focus, rather than i-i, for two reasons: First, the horse had already mastered i-i sufciently to fnish second at that level in the 2012 HoY rankings. Second, she says, “i-ii is the frst test with the one-tempi changes and the piafe and passage, so it’s a whole diferent world: probably the biggest move up.” With coaching from trainers Alfredo Hernandez and Lars Petersen (funded by Mason’s receipt of the 2012 Carol Lavell Advanced Dressage Prize from Te Dressage Foundation), Warsteiner had already done a few Grands Prix. in 2013, horse and rider continued to compete in i-ii, GP, and GP Freestyle at shows in new Jersey and nearby Pennsylvania. However, “because he wasn’t quite ready to do CDis,” she chose to skip Dressage at Devon and concentrate on the new england Dressage Association’s Fall Festival and Region 8 Championships as a way to prepare for the USeF Dressage Festival of Champions in october. Mason cites neDA as “where i was probably happiest with Warsteiner, in both the Grand Prix Freestyle and the i-ii. it was the frst time he went in without a whip, and he really held it together. He’s defnitely developing; he puts in consistent ride after consistent ride.” even so, “He still talks going down center line! it’s amazing; he’s never outgrown that; he’s Mister Personality.” But despite the talking, “he’s

consistent in the piafe and the one-tempis, so i guess he’s allowed to do it.” Tis winter, Mason will use some remaining Lavell Prize funds to transport herself, Warsteiner, and another mount to Florida to work again with Petersen. With Warsteiner, in particular, “our focus will be building throughness and getting stronger in the piafe/passage work. Basically, he’s got it all. He just needs the fnishing touches.” Mason says she decided against aiming Warsteiner toward this year’s Alltech Fei World equestrian Games because “i don’t think he’s strong enough. And it’s not worth pushing him. i’d rather he stayed happy and sound. So we’ll concentrate on the national shows and get more time in the Grand Prix ring.” As solid as he is in the show ring, Warsteiner does tend to have an issue with show stabling, Mason says. He does best with “a stall small enough that he can’t circle in it. once he starts circling, he doesn’t stop circling. He’s good at eight or nine feet. Any wider than that, he’s got too much turning space.” Her solution: “i bought an aisle guard, which is like a really long stall guard. With that, i can literally make the stall nine feet wide. i guess we’ve done that at two shows now, and it’s worked perfectly.” At home, Mason says, Warsteiner still presides over the barn from “his same little stall with the Dutch door that he can watch the world from. And he still touches everybody as they walk by.” Te horse she originally bought, at two and a half, as a resale prospect “will probably always be king of the barn.” —D. J. Carey Lyons

Legolas

Owner: Four Winds Farm LLC, Los Gatos, California Rider: Stefen Peters, San Diego, California Breeder: Johannes Kissing, Germany 88 February 2014 â&#x20AC;˘ USDF ConneCtion

susanjsticKLe.com

2002 bay 17-hand Westfalen gelding Sire: Laomedon e Dam: Furstin

egolas came to olympian Stefen Peters’ barn in late 2011 with no competition experience. Te horse’s previous owner, German trainer Ulrich Kasselmann, had schooled him up the levels but had never shown him. new owner Akiko Yamazaki, who with Peters had carefully analyzed Legolas’s potential before buying him, recalls his frst time showing, at a Grand Prix in January 2012. “He did great, but the expression in his eye was sort of ‘oh boy’—a little like Alice in Wonderland going down the rabbit hole.” Still, by year’s end, such achievements as his wins in the USeF Grand Prix national Championship and olympic selection trials demonstrated his ability. in 2013, Yamazaki says, she and Peters increasingly sensed Legolas’s “maturing into a show horse. We’ve seen a sort of serenity in his eye, as if he understands what this is all about. i think he’s become a lot more confdent about what his role is. Showing was very new to him in that frst year. Tis past year, we saw a big change in his maturity level— though he’s a hot enough horse that i don’t think he’ll ever get that nonchalant ‘ho-hum, another show’ attitude.” other facets of Legolas’s personality are also emerging, Yamazaki says. “He’s very sociable with other horses, especially the mares; we’re now calling him Mr. Casanova. Apparently he’s very much in love with my new mare, Rosie; Stefen’s texted me photos of Legolas running toward the aisleway when she comes back to her stall.” As for 2013 competitive achievements, in January Legolas placed third in the World Dressage Masters Palm Beach (FL). in April, he won the Grand Prix at the Wellington (FL) 5*, performing a clean, relaxed test despite stormy weather for a score of 75.085 percent. Later in April came Legolas’s frst trip back to Germany. Te initial stop was Hagen, for a CDi4* in the facility where

Kasselmann had trained him. “it was a top-notch show and a homecoming for Legolas,” Yamazaki says. Despite nearfreezing temperatures, the home-town horse “did really well: second, behind Sweden’s Andreas Helgstrand, in the Grand Prix and again in the Freestyle—where the diference between frst and second was just 0.075 percent.” in June, Legolas showed at Aachen. “Hagen was a big deal,” Yamazaki says, “but Aachen—the scale is enormous. in the beginning, he may have been reacting to the atmosphere: his frst halt was a little quick. But as the days went on, he settled. He and Stefen did a beautiful freestyle, fnishing sixth, and they led the US team to a third place in the nations Cup. Tat was a really good thing for the team as well as for them individually.” Te year’s fnal highlight, Yamazaki says, was the USeF Dressage Festival of Champions in Kentucky in october. Both the Special and the Freestyle there were staged at night. “Tat was good exposure for Legolas, who handled the new environment well”—so well that he and Peters won their second consecutive national Grand Prix championship. Te 2014 Alltech Fei World equestrian Games are this year’s goal. “We’ll probably include Aachen in that: We’ll be in europe, and it’s always good to get a competition under your belt before going into a world championship,” Yamazaki says. “to minimize travel beforehand, Legolas will be doing most of his WeG selection-trials qualifers in California. However, the trials themselves will be at Gladstone [nJ], and the horses chosen will go on from there” to europe. Having had such a positive european experience last year, Yamazaki and Peters will do their best to help Legolas be among the horses on team USA. —D. J. Carey Lyons

A young rider learns important lessons from her schoolmaster horse By Amy L. obritsch

n May 2007, i had just fnished my sophomore year of high school. Te previous year, my Toroughbred, Clipper, and i had had a successful show season, earning several championship titles at training and First Levels. i was looking forward to bringing Clipper out at Second Level that summer when he was in a horrifc accident and had to be euthanized. My heart and my dreams were crushed.

Warmblood mare, and i fell in love. two things were against me from the start. First, the mare was in Boston, and i live in north Dakota. Second, she was hopelessly out of my price range. But something told me to e-mail the owner anyway. Te owner replied that she could not lower her price. Dreams dashed, i continued my search. Ten a few weeks later, the owner contacted me again: She

PUPIL AND TEACHER: Te writer and Chanelle in August 2012

Clipper did leave me one very special thing: insurance money to buy a new horse. Day after day, i sat in my dad’s study for hours, looking at horses on the internet. My dream was to fnd a schoolmaster. one day i came across a ffteenyear-old intermediate i-level Dutch

needed to sell the mare as soon as possible and was willing to negotiate. Te mare, Chanelle, was mine. Given Chanelle’s training, i expected to be able to ride Prix St. Georges at our frst show together. nothing could have been further from the truth. For the frst few weeks, i

Te Greatest Gift

did not want anything to do with my “dream horse.” Chanelle had a lot of power and was defnitely not a “pushbutton” schoolmaster. one day, my dad picked me up from a riding lesson that went badly. in tears, i begged him to get rid of Chanelle so that i could get an easier horse to ride. He replied: “if we sell Chanelle, we will not buy another horse.” So for the next two years i buckled down, grew stronger, and learned how to ride my mare. in 2009 i graduated from high school. Soon after, my dad announced that he was selling Chanelle because i was going to college out of state, and taking my horse with me was not an option. Chanelle was sent to a trainer in Kansas, and i was heartbroken once again. As the weeks and months went by, Chanelle did not sell. A year passed, and i was praying that no one would buy her. Many people were interested in her, but she was seventeen and had progressive age-related arthritis. At one point a lady planned to purchase Chanelle, but the prepurchase exam did not go well and the buyer backed out. My dad decided that i could keep her after all. Chanelle taught me the upperlevel movements and how to ride correctly. Although her traveling and showing days were over, i learned so many valuable tools that i will use for the rest of my riding career. Last September, i had to say goodbye forever to my sweet Chanelle. She will always be in my heart as the patient schoolmaster that taught me never to give up. every time i rode tempi changes, passage, or a canter pirouette, i had bittersweet memories of Clipper, who gave me the greatest gift: Chanelle. s

This is my horse

Competing at the Olympics was a dream come true, and Rafalca is the horse that gave me that opportunity. From the beginning, she was a very special horse, so trainable and focused, but mostly, she has a huge heart and gives her all everyday. While she gives so much to me, I make sure that she and my other horses get the best of everything, including Platinum. Platinum gives me the competitive edge, helping to maintain their soundness and health. The horses love it, and the Paks make supplementing so easy, especially when traveling so much. Dressage can be a complex discipline, but Platinum Paks bring simplicity to our program.

suitable in the event of inclement weather. Tose who pass the testing feel a sense of accomplishment and agree that they will utilize their education in their daily teaching and training. Tey believe that their students and horses will be the major benefactors of their investment in their continuing education as dressage professionals. Te USDF instructor/trainer Program was established 25 years ago as a means of ofering standardized, measurable, valuable education and certifcation to dressage professionals in the United States. Since that time, the program has drawn both praise and criticism. it is not perfect, but it is still evolving and many changes have ensued. For instance, today certifcation examiners are better aligned regarding the criteria required to pass the areas of testing (lungeing, teaching, and riding). Te program has become more accepting of real-world situations that may arise during the testing, such as a candidate’s being assigned a horse that is not appropriate for the task at hand. Te recently expanded levels of certifcation—training/First Level, Second Level, Tird/Fourth Level, and Fei—allow instructor/trainers to advance in smaller steps, thus helping to improve the overall success rate. Most of the participants i talked to agreed that going through the program was well worth the investment, and they encouraged others to seriously consider entering the program.
