Positive Training with Your Dressage Partner
By: Dawn Chamorro
Over all the years I have been in the horse world I have experienced many types of horses. You have the young horses,
the talented horses, the stubborn horses, the all around safe horses, and everything in between. I have had people ask
me “How is it that you can connect with a horse and change their outlook on work?”. Well, I can’t with every horse but I
certainly try.
First, to really get a horse to want to work for you, you must understand common nature and instincts of a horse. You
first need to realize that horses are prey animals. Since they are prey animals, in the wild they will form herds to protect
themselves from predators. Despite popular belief, the lead horse in a wild heard is the dominant mare, not the stallion.
She is the one who decides where the herd should travel, when to travel, when to rest, where to graze, etc. The stallion
is merely there to reproduce and fight off other stallions. Knowing this little bit of information you can already determine
why sometimes people ask “Is she mare-ish?”. That’s a mares instinct, to dominate.
Horses are fight or flight animals. When they feel threatened there first choice is to run away. If cornered, however, their
only choice left is to fight, by any means possible. This is something I think a lot about in my training. There is three
zones in training your horse. The first zone is when you are not asking or pushing your horse to much. The horse is fine
because they are not threatened or bothered. The second zone is where you ask your horse to do more. Being patient
and listening to your horse during the heavier training is key so you don’t end up pushing them into the last zone. Your
last zone is your fight or flight zone. They don’t understand you anymore. They are merely going by their equine
instincts. They are confused and feel unsafe. Your horse has stopped learning from this point. You must always try to
keep your horses in a place where they feel trusting and they want to learn without pushing them to a breaking point. If
you find yourself in that third zone then you must find a way to get back to the other zones. Granted, at times you may
have to push your horse into the third zone but never keep them there and get them back to a learning zone to keep the
training positive.
Horses can always recognize predators immediately. There instincts tell them when they look at us, humans, that we
have two eyes on the front of our head, a trait common to predators. While it is very important that our partners to view
us as the leader we must also gain their respect, not force it. We want our horse to trust us, not fear us. We, as riders,
have to appear as the dominant mare, guiding them where they should be in a positive way.
You must learn how a horse communicates to know where your training is headed. A good way to see what your horse
is thinking is by watching the ears. Is the ears forward? Your horse may be more alert to what is ahead of them. Is there
ears to the side or one back while one is forward? I prefer this in my horses while I’m training. It shows me that they are
listening to what I’m asking. They are aware and working with the rider. Is your horses ear back? They could be unhappy, mad, or realize something is coming up behind them. Their ears are very sensitive and keep them aware of there
surrounding. You can also determine a few things with their tails. Slight swishing could be a slight irritant or insect but if
it is more aggressive it could indicate either irritation, pain, or anger. The horse does not use its mouth to communicate
to the degree that it uses its ears and tail during training.
So while you are training your horses you must first understand the nature of a horse and their common instincts. If you
begin to understand these things then you can get your horse to work
harder for you because you know when you are pushing to hard or when
your not pushing enough. You can judge what they are ready to learn
and what they still don’t understand. This in turn will help you bond
closely with your horse and create a stronger bond because your horse
will look up to you. You have built the trust with them and they will do
and/or try anything for you.
Good training always starts with the basics for a reason. It’s to show and
guide your horse in the direction they need to go one step at a time.
Skipping steps will ultimately have negative results in your training and
your horse will not perform at its best. Try to take time with your horse
and really understand them more as a horse. You will be amazed at what
you see. Happy Riding!

Most Common Mistakes Riders Make in the Show Ring
By: Dawn Chamorro
Have you ever wondered what the top judges look for and what they see? I certainly have. Well, I spent
some time reaching out to many top Dressage judges around the world who have judged for some of the
biggest events and asked them this simple question, “What do you think is the most common mistake
you see riders make in the show ring?”. This is what some of them said:
Natalie Lamping (USA 4*):
“It’s actually too simple. Too often points are given away, not lost, by inaccuracies. Even by most
professionals, especially. In the sizes of the figures, like circles. Often figures and transitions are done in
the vicinity of.”
Janet Foy (USA 4*):
“Very commonly people lose points for inaccuracy and cutting corners. I also see to many shown at a
higher level than they need to be shown”
Joan Darnell (USA 3*):
“One of the most common mistakes I see is inaccurate figures, especially at the lower levels. It’s a
shame that riders give away precious points by 24 meter ovals at B and E rather than 20 meter circles
or not knowing where the centerline is for 10 meter circle and loops. Forgetting to use the corners to
bend and balance the horse is another common mistake.”
Betsy Gosling (USA 3*):
“Most common mistakes I see is not reading the directives of a test and therefore not understanding why
the movement is there for. Mostly at the lower levels”
Peter Holler (Germany 5*):
“The most common mistake riders do is that they ask more than their horse can actually do!”
Vincenzo Truppa (Italy 5*):
“The biggest mistake is short necks and horses on the forehand.”
Christoph Hess (Germany 4*):
“The biggest mistake is that rider often have their horses not enough in front of their driving aids.”
Cesar Torrente (Colombia 3*):
“If you make a mistake, Don’t loose your mind! Whether, you forget your test or cantered in the
extended trot diagonal or do any other mistake, forget it and keep on going. In these cases, don’t panic
and do not loose hope. You have to remember that you will only have a problem with that one score. Do
not loose your focus and concentration for the remaining part of the test and start preparing your next
movement. We often see that after an error on course or after a mistake, the rider looses their mind and
the entire test falls apart. On the other hand, experienced riders just forget the mistake or error, keep
working on the test, and at the end they actually win the competition.” (Some quotes from Dressage
Today)
It seems through these esteemed and highly respected judges find that accuracy is a big issue. Work on
your circles, serpentines, straightness, and everything else. Once you achieve accuracy then you can
strive for the WOW factor. Until then do what is asked of your test. If you can not perform the movement
asked them you should move down a level. You should always be training higher than you are showing.
Always think forward and engage your horse.
If you have a question for the judges, let me know.
I will continue to ask judges around the world their thoughts and opinions.
This month Jason Canton picked out a recommended read. If you have any questions that you
would like Jason to discuss please email us.
Riding From Front To Back
How many times do we all hear “keep your horse on the bit,” and “your horse needs to stay round – no
coming above or below the bit?” It sometimes seems that since the “bit” is the problem, the reins must be the
solution. This is a common mistake that, left uncorrected, will create significant problems when moving up the
levels.
Horses do not move well when pulling or leaning on the reins, or avoiding contact. They will not swing
enough, and find it difficult to relax their back. Changes in gate – to medium or extended trot and canter –
will be difficult to get consistently and with good quality. Movements will be downhill instead of uphill, often
running instead of reaching. And a horse that leans on the reins often has difficulties with flying changes and
will never be able to achieve a nice piaffe or passage.
Too much focus on the reins and bit are often a symptom of the horse being ridden from the front to the
back, when it should be the other way around. Changing your riding from “front-to-back” to “back-to-front”
solves a myriad of problems, and will make your riding more enjoyable and rewarding.
The best place to start fixing contact issues is with activating the haunches – the engine of the horse. Most
often, challenges with contact are caused by weak or non-existent driving aids. By focusing on the back end
of the horse and driving into the contact, many of these problems are solved.
To start, make sure you are closing your legs and using your calf or spurs to drive your horse forward. Try to keep contact with the reins, but never
pull back. On a 20 meter circle, bend your horse to the inside while driving the horse forward, using both the inside rein and inside leg. Always
make sure you have steady contact with the outside rein. If you drive your horse forward with determination, but at the same time hold the outside
rein, your horse has no choice but to become round. By bending and releasing on a circle, you are working to supple the horse, helping him loosen
in both the poll and shoulders.
As you are flexing to the inside and driving, think of the inside rein like rubber, not a strong cable. Try to release a bit, first by relaxing your fingers.
The key is to not get “stuck” with your hands. If you feel a bit of tension in the rein, but not pulling by the horse, your horse should now be relaxed
and responsive to the rein. If not, you must be very quick to flex again and at the same time drive forward. Keep cycling between driving and giving
until you feel the soft give-and-take of your horse’s mouth. And always remember – never pull back.
Below are a few common mistakes that riders make, and suggestions on how to correct these problems:
Common Mistake: Flexing with the inside rein without using solid driving aids.
Correction: The more rein contact you take, the more you need to drive. By correctly using your seat and legs while flexing the inside rein, the
horse is able to keep its rhythm. Without the driving aids, pulling too much on the inside rein simply pulls the horse off balance, and does not
encourage him to step through from behind. The correction you should make is to ensure you are maintaining or increasing your driving aids while
asking for the flexion.
Common Mistake: Pulling on the reins to try to get the horse’s head down.
Correction: If you pull on the reins without the energy coming from the driving aids, the energy is moving from front to back, and does not allow the
horse to move forward freely. To correct this, go on a 20 meter circle. Begin by bending the horse to the inside, using your inside leg and inside
rein, and maintain strong driving aids. Watch that the horse’s outside should is straight by holding your outside rein steady. Maintain constant
contact on your outside rein, and give with the inside rein. As the horse straightens, he will drop his head. Repeat this cycle as you go around the
circle until his head is down, on the bit, and his back is up. Remember to really release the inside rein, giving the horse an opportunity to stretch
down.
Common Mistake: Giving up too early and not having the horse truly soft and moving from the haunches through the back into the bridle.
Correction: It’s easy to get half way there, and think it’s enough. Continually test with the inside rein that the horse is responsive and bending.
Continually test that you have the proper amount of driving aids, asking for changes within the gate (lengthen / collect). When you horse is truly
soft and moving correctly, the rein should be light and the horse responsive to subtle driving aids.
Remember, for a horse that is not used to being round, moving from his hind end through his back will cause him to use completely different
muscles than he is used to. Like us, he will most likely be a bit sore the next day and will need time to build up the correct muscles. Be patient, but
help him with the workout.
Also, it is always a good idea to have someone with experience supporting you to help you achieve the right level of engagement and drive. Talk
with your trainer to incorporate these ideas into your lesson program.—DressageTrainingOnline.com
USDF Region 9 Championship Wrap-Up to Rave Reviews
By: Sue Weakley
High praise and accolades from competitors are coming in after the GAIG/USDF Region 9 Championships and Southwest Dressage Championships and Houston
Dressage Society (HDS) Autumn Classic. The show, held Oct. 9-12 at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy, Texas, is a favorite for USDF Region 9 members from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. “We always look forward to attending the regional championships in Katy,” said 18-year-old Anna
Campbell who won five championship classes on Kevin Campbell's Leibling as well as trainer Kai Handt’s Haflinger pony Lola. “Although we are from Dallas – about
five hours away - the people with the Houston Dressage Society (HDS) are like family to us."
"They put on great shows and their shows are always well organized with great vendors and fun activities for the competitors. The show committee at HDS is very
conscious of providing a competitor friendly environment and always keeps the needs and well-being of the horses as their top priority.”
Audrey Steinbach, a Grand Prix rider from Plano, Texas, who won Saturday’s Prix St. Georges open aboard her own Presidio, said the Great Southwest Equestrian
Center is one of her favorite venues.
“Once again, the Region 9 finals were a highlight of the show year,” Steinbach said. “This show is always incredibly well run by the team from Showsecretary.com.
Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and everyone, from the show manager, show office saints, and the masses of amazing volunteers, made the show
such a pleasure to attend as a competitor and trainer. The five rings ran like clockwork.”
John Mason, a trainer from Conroe, Texas, who won blue ribbons in nine First, Second, Third, and Intermediaire-I level classes was understandably pleased. “It
was a good show,” he said. “It was a blast. I had quite a few horses going. They were all really just on top of their games. My two mares won all their classes
except in one, and in that one, they took first and second. They’ve been really consistent all year long. It was a lot of fun.
Fran Dearing-Kehr, a trainer and judge from Magnolia, Texas, said although this year she didn’t win her classes as she did last year, the show was phenomenal and
every year she is more proud of the job the Houston Dressage Society does. “The quality of the horses keeps improving and the scores were really tight,” she said.
Dearing-Kehr qualified to compete in the Prix St. Georges on Beth Butler’s Accentuate at the US Dressage Finals to be held Nov. 6-9 in Lexington, Kentucky. She is
hoping that she will also qualify to show in the Intermediaire-I. “If it trickles down to me in the I-I, I will show there,” she said. “It’s a thrill to be able to be a part of
that.”
Dearing-Kehr was also awarded the USDF Region 9 Teaching Excellence Award from the Dressage Foundation at the show. This award is unique to Region 9,
awarded to a USDF Region 9 member who is also a dressage teacher who adheres to sound principles with a reputation for honesty, integrity and community
service. The $5,000 grant will help defray expenses for the trainer to travel to South Florida during the winter show season to train with Pam Goodrich. She said
it’s refreshing that Region 9 puts so much emphasis on excellence in teaching to award a grant.
Also traveling to Kentucky is John Mason, who will be taking all three horses he competed on at the Region 9 championships: Joan Enrich’s McKensey, Christine
Renne’s Faye and Kathy Jones’ Rondo del Rey. “McKensey will be competing in First and Second level, Faye in Second and Third level and Rondo will be doing
Intermediaire I Freestyle—all championship classes,” Mason said, proudly adding that he helps train all three horses three times a week and their owners also
each train them three times a week. Mason, an Austin, Texas, native traveled to Germany to train, then came from Germany in 2013 to Tex-Over Farms in Conroe,
Texas, where he is now head dressage trainer. He said that the Region 9 championship show rivals any he has seen. “First and foremost, HDS puts on the most
friendly and well–run shows I have been to either here or in Germany,” he said. “Really, they like everybody to feel like they are part of the club. Leslie Rohrer, the
President, goes above and beyond to make sure we’re happy. The Great Southwest Equestrian Center is a beautiful facility. It is big enough to not only hold our
regionals, but hopefully in the future we’ll have even more shows there. It’s a really well run, clean facility. Good vendors, good food. All the things you look for in
a big competition.”
In fact, the Great Southwest Equestrian Center and Houston Dressage Society have bid on future US Dressage Finals and the venue’s central location and rave
reviews would make it an ideal location.
Anna Campbell, who has competed at the Festival of Champions and the North American Junior and Young Rider Championships every year since 2011, is also a
fan of the HDS shows at the Great Southwest Equestrian Center. The high school senior will move up to Young Riders in 2015 and trains with Kai Handt at North
Texas Equestrian Center in Wylie, Texas, which is about 40 minutes from downtown Dallas. “My favorite dressage shows to go to are those hosted by the Houston
Dressage Society,” she said. “The show organizers are always thinking about the needs of the competitors and the horses. They hire fantastic show managers and
show secretaries. Everything is run efficiently and things go according to the schedule. It is a very experienced group. We like the facility in Katy, which is just west
of Houston, very much too. It is roomy with plenty of parking for cars and trailers. The stabling is nice and the staff is very accommodating.”
After winning five championship classes last weekend, the GAIG Prix St Georges (junior), the GAIG Fourth Level (junior), the Southwest Dressage Club (SWDC) Prix
St Georges (junior), the SWDC Fourth Level (junior), and the SWDC Pony Training Level (open), she is hoping to make the Region 9 Young Rider Team next year.
She was especially proud of Lola, her trainer’s Haflinger pony she rode in the Southwest Dressage Club (SWDC) Pony Training and First Level classes. “My trainer,
Kai, gave me the pony in August to work with and compete with the goal of auctioning her off at championships to benefit the region’s FEI Junior and Young Rider
Fund,” Campbell said. “All the proceeds of her sale would go to help with the teams’ expenses at NAJYRC. This is the second year that he has donated a pony to
auction.” The pony was purchased by the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, for their equestrian program. “Lola did a super job in the
training level class,” Campbell said. “We had a successful auction and Lola now has a new home in Louisiana, with little girls who adore her.”

Champions. After many competitions and many wins in 2006 Rafalca, 1997 Oldenburg mare, was purchased. They made their
debut in 2007 in the Grand Prix at the World Cup Las Vegas where he was asked to demonstrate the Grand Prix test before the
actual competition. In 2007, Jan was awarded the USET training grant and made the decision to return to Germany, taking all his

Edward Gal & Undercover Another Personal Best Score To
Win Odense World Cup Freestyle
ODENSE, Denmark, Oct. 19, 2014–Edward Gal and Glock’s Undercover
performed their highest scoring Grand Prix Freestyle at 88.625 per cent on
Sunday to claim the first event in the Western European World Cup series
leading to the Final in Las Vegas next April.
Edward Gal and the 13-year-old KWPN gelding (Ferro Donnerhall) were
awarded more than four percentage points ahead of fellow Dutch
combination and two-time World Cup champion Adelinde Cornelissen and
Jerich Parzival that received 84.300 per cent with Germany’s Iseball Werth
on Don Johnson FRH in third place on 80.275 per cent.
The win gives Edward 20 points and moves the pair to the top of the
Western European League standings.
The previous best Freestyle score for Edward and Undercover was 87.425
per cent at London’s Olympia Christmas show last December, but well
below the rider’s best ever of 92.300 per cent on Totilas at Olympia in
2009 that was a world record before Great Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin on
Valegro established a new high of 93.975 per cent also set at Olympia last
Christmas.
Edward has been competing Undercover at Grand Prix since April 2012
and their record includes the Olympic Games in London in 2012, World
Cup Finals in 2012 and 2013 and the European Championships in 2013.
The duo placed third behind Charlotte on Valegro in the Final at Lyon,
France in April this year with Germany’s Helen Langehanenberg on Damon
Hill NRW the runnerup.
If Edward, 44 years old, and Undercover make it to the Final in Las Vegas
April 15-19 it will be the first competition for the pair outside Western
Europe.
Valegro To Defend World Cup Title At Las Vegas Final In
April
By KENNETH J. BRADDICK
Valegro, ridden by Charlotte Dujardin of Great Britain to Olympic
and World Games gold, will defend their World Cup title at the Final
in Las Vegas next April, Carl Hester, an owner of the horse and coach
of the combination, said Saturday.
Charlotte and the 12-year-old KWPN gelding will compete at the
World Cup events at the London Olympia Christmas show Dec. 16-22
and at Amsterdam Jan. 3-Feb. 1, Carl told dressage-news.com. The
two performances fulfill the requirement for the title defender to
compete in two Freestyles in the World Cup series.
The competition schedule for the world’s No. 1 partnership came
with the kickoff qualifier at Odense, Denmark of the nine-event
Western European League indoor winter circuit.
Charlotte and Valegro (Negro x Gerschwin) won the World Cup title
at Lyon, France last April, their debut in the Final of the annual
global championship decided by the Freestyle.
The Final on Aprl 15-19 will be the fourth dual World Cups of
dressage and jumping in Las Vegas in the past 10 years and will
celebrate the 30th anniversary of the dressage championship.
The pair have dominated the top of the medals podiums in the past
two years leading Britain to the gold medal at the Olympics in
London in 2012–the first ever dressage medal in a century of Olympic competition–two 2014 World Games individual golds as well as a
team silver and gold at both the 2011 and 2013 European
Championships.
The rider was World Cup champion on Totilas in the pair’s only Finals
appearance, at ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands in 2010, just six months
before the black stallion was sold to Germany for Matthias Alexander Rath
to compete.
Valegro–Charlotte calls him “Blueberry”–hold all three Grand Prix
world records–the Grand Prix of 87.129 set at this year’s Final in
Lyon, the Special of 88.022 cent set at Hagen, Germany in 2012 and
the Freestyle of 93.975 per cent set at London Olympia last
Christmas.
One of Edward’s most memorable moments at a World Cup Final was his
victory on Lingh over Anky van Grunsven on Salinero in the Grand Prix at
Las Vegas in 2005 but Anky went on to win the Freestyle, one of their record nine World Cup titles. (The most World Cups any other rider has won
is two–Christine Stückelberger of Switzerland, Germany’s Isabell Werth,
Monica Theodorescu and Ulla Salzgeber and Adelinde Cornelissen of the
Netherlands.)
The horse has competed once in the United States, at the CDI4* in
Florida in 2012, finishing second to Steffen Peters of San Diego,
California on Ravel.
Las Vegas is one of the most popular destinations for the World Cup
–Anky van Grunsven and Sjef Janssen married during the 2005 Final.
That was also the same event where Edward Gal on Lingh beat Anky
on Salinero in the Grand Prix in a memorable performance.
Adelinde claimed the title on Parzival in 2011 and 2012, but the horse will
be 18 years old next year and will have been competed at CDI Big Tour for
more than eight years. No horse as old as 18 has won the Word Cup since
its debut in 1986 as the only individual global championship decided by
what was then the newly introduced Musical Freestyle.
The 2015 Final could see several World Cup champions challenging
for the title–Edward Gal on Glock’s Undercover (he won on Totilas in
2010); Adelinde Cornelissen on Jerich Parzival (the pair won in 2011
and 2012); Isabell Werth on Don Johnson FRH or El Santo NRW (she
won on Warum Nicht FRH in Las Vegas in 2007 and on Fabienne in
1992), Helen Langehanenberg on Damon Hill NRW (the pair won in
2013) and Steffen Peters on Legolas (he won on Ravel in 2009).
The next WEL event is scheduled for Lyon, France Oct. 29-Nov. 2 followed
by Stuttgart, Germany Nov, 19-23, Stockholm Nov. 28-30, Olympia, London
Dec. 16-17, Amsterdam Jan. 29-Feb. 1, Neumünster, Germany Feb. 12-15,
Gothenburg, Sweden Feb. 26-Mar. 1 and s’-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Mar. 12-15.
Be a Part of the Incredible US Dressage Finals Experience!
Written by Yellow Horse Marketing for the US Dressage Finals
Final entries are now being accepted for the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®, the unique head-to-head national championship competition for
Adult Amateur and Open dressage riders at all levels of competition from Training to Grand Prix. But for many exhibitors traveling to the Kentucky Horse
Park in early November, there will be much more to their visit than just riding a dressage test - they will also be enjoying the incredible atmosphere and
ambiance which makes up what many call "The Finals Experience". "I am so looking forward to it," said Suzie Hallé of Englewood, Colo. who will be
attending the Finals for the first time with her KWPN gelding Tennyson-ISF.
"People who went last year have told me that there's so much 'soul' there, with all the riders coming together and cheering for each other. My friends said
there was such a palpable love for the horses and passion for the sport, as well as gratitude for having a venue like this for adult amateurs. So my goal is to
go and try our best, but also focus on enjoying my horse no matter the outcome in what I know will be an amazing experience with my friends and family."
When not in the saddle, competitors will have a plethora of activities to enjoy which are quickly making the Finals a destination event for dressage
enthusiasts from across the country. An expanded trade fair and exhibit area on the concourse of the Alltech Arena will be open each day; and one of
exhibitors' first stops may be the US Dressage Finals official merchandise booth, where many of last year's souvenir items sold out long before the show
had ended. A special Competitor Buffet complete with a live Bluegrass band will get the party started on Friday night, while the fantastic Saturday dinner
and evening performances will feature freestyles, special presentations and ceremonies, and appearances by local dignitaries including US Dressage
Technical Advisor/Chef d'Equipe Robert Dover. As part of the festivities, KYB Dressage and Half Pass Moon Productions will be giving the audience at the
US Dressage Finals a sneak peak at a routine from their next "short story come to life” called "All the Kings Horsemen," which will feature Ariana Sakaris
and her at liberty partner Belmont.
One of the best ways to take in all this action and entertainment will be from the lavish VIP area in the Alltech Arena. With packages available for individuals or for parties of six (click here for reservation information), these full-service tables undoubtedly provide the best seats in the house and add to the
extraordinary experience of the Finals. "I have family flying in for the event and five friends competing from Colorado, and one of them is riding her
freestyle on Saturday night. It will be very special for everyone to be there so we have gone ahead and booked a VIP table to share so we can take it all in,"
said Hallé. "We're also planning some of the other things we'd like to do while we're there - we all want to see Keeneland and some of the beautiful
farms." Some of Hallé's many options include a "Horses, Hooch, & History Tour" and "Bourbon & Bluegrass Tour" organized by USDF in partnership with
Bluegrass Tours, as well as other guided tours to some of central Kentucky's famous Thoroughbred breeding farms, distilleries, vineyards, and the nearby
world-renowned Hagyard Equine Medical Institute (more information on these tours can be found here). Finals participants can also take a quick break
from competition and enjoy something new by simply staying on-site: the Kentucky Horse Park is a 1200-acre equine theme park with a multitude of
attractions, including the incredible International Museum of the Horse, the Hall of Champions, and the astounding Man O' War Memorial. Also in a
limited engagement to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Horse, the International Museum of the Horse is hosting a special exhibition of ink horse
paintings by Xu Qingping, a celebrated Chinese artist from Beijing.
Sounds great, doesn't it? "We also offer an open dressage competition called 'USDF Dressage in the Bluegrass' in conjunction with the Finals," explained
Stephan Hienzsch, USDF Executive Director. "While many Finals exhibitors use these open classes as 'warm-ups', we would like to invite anyone who wants
to be a part of this incredible atmosphere or has an extra horse they'd like to bring to enter USDF Dressage in the Bluegrass and join us." Hienzsch also
noted that general spectator admission to the Finals is free, and tickets for special events as well as VIP packages are available for sale to the public.
As a reminder to all qualified competitors who received an invitation to participate, the closing date for entries is this Thursday, October 23rd. Don't
wait - submit your entry today! To learn more about the US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® (to be held November 6 - 9, 2014), download

Custom Saddlery Presents Shelley Van den Neste with Most Valuable Rider Award at the 2014 GAIG USDF Region 3 Championships
Wellington, FL - “We know how valuable each and every horse and rider really are,” says Cary Wallace, president of the popular dressage and jumper saddle manufacturer
Custom Saddlery. At the Wellington Classic Dressage Autumn Challenge held in conjunction with the 2014 Great American Insurance Group USDF Region 3 Championships on
October 16-19, 2014, Custom Saddlery found a rider who shares Wallace’s sentiment. Shelley Van den Neste, who holds both a USDF Gold Medal and a USDF Gold Freestyle
Bar, was fully focused on giving her students and horses a fantastic experience at the show while also competing herself.
After observing Van den Neste and her team of horses and competitors throughout the competition, Custom Saddlery awarded the trainer with the Custom Saddlery Most
Valuable Rider (MVR) award. A Custom representative described the deserving award winner as being someone who is “instrumental in creating the exceptional show
atmosphere that we all strive to create” by demonstrating exemplary horsemanship, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Van den Neste certainly matches that description. She
showed successfully in several levels at the show, including Prix St. Georges and the Musical Freestyle Fourth Level Championship. At the same time, Van den Neste coached
her group of dressage horses and students— who range in competition levels from training up through advanced levels— in their classes and in the importance of teamwork.
Van den Neste explained her philosophy with a smile - “I think that you have to have great sportsmanship, and your team has to act like a team. Always be thankful that you’re
here with your beautiful horses, and just do the best job that you can all the time!”
Custom Saddlery awarded Van den Neste with a Custom Saddlery gift certificate for $150.00, a ribbon, and a white embroidered saddle pad. “Thank you Custom Saddlery! I’m
going to try one of your saddles for sure,” said Van den Neste. She is eager to use her gift card and new saddle pad at her Sunrise Farms Sport Horses facility in Newberry,
Florida.
Custom Saddlery, based in Aiken, South Carolina, offers unique dressage and jumper saddles that are specifically designed for each horse and rider who use them. The company
also provides professional saddle fitting services, and manufactures beautiful accessories including stirrup leathers, girths, and saddle pads.
