From JOE DELFINO: “To all who expressed concern
after my horse fell in a hole in the Black Prong
dressage arena, I wanted to thank you all for your
concern and let you know that he is on stall rest and
appears to be recovering. We hope the bone chip
will continue to dissolve and the cannon bone will
continue to regenerate bone. A special thanks to
our vet Dr. Anne Christopherson and Dr. Natalie
Lamneck. "

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
By Loretta Lucas
The clinics are coming! The clinics are coming!
The Winter show season is in full swing, and the
winter trainers are in town. While Wellington is the
mecca for East Coast winter dressage, every year
more trainers and their clients are basing operations
in Ocala for the season. It seems a few times every
month one or two well-known clinicians plan visits to
Ocala farms. Your Board and Clinic Committee
have been busy making plans as well!
Our first task was formalizing a clinic plan for the
club. In the past, we scheduled clinics on a rotating
schedule: “Rider year” and “Driver year.” Now that
the club has grown, and interest in Western
Dressage has also grown, what were we to do? Go
to a three year schedule? No, we came up with a
better plan!
First, we did away with the restrictions regarding
"driving year" or "rider year." Clinics/camps will be
scheduled as interest indicates. STRIDE will sponsor
at least one day-long clinic for each discipline
(Ridden Dressage, Western Dressage and Driven
Dressage) each year. Are you interested in a multiday clinic or camp? One member has volunteered
to explore that option; if you are interested in
helping, contact Diane Laws at (352) 690-1898.
Since education is STRIDE’s primary mission, we want
to make these clinics as affordable as possible. To
that end, we will offer subsidies for members (as the
budget allows) to reduce the price to participate.
To be fair to everyone, each member may only use
one subsidy each year. While there is no subsidy for
non-STRIDE clinics, exceptional opportunities will be
considered as individual events by the Board. If you
recall, we offered subsidies for the USDF Adult Clinic
with Hilda Gurney last year, and also for the Benefit
Driving Clinic in January.
found her style soft and welcoming and her
comments to her student were clear and easy to
follow. I also have heard glowing reports from
current and former STRIDE members who have
worked with her. I think she is a wonderful choice for
STRIDE! While the focus of the clinic is “Training Up
the Levels,” don’t think this is just for those who show!
“Training Up the Levels” only means moving forward
in your horse’s training. Application is on page 5.
Well, that’s all the news there is from the President’s
desk this month. See you at the show March 2nd,
and at the Lorna Donahue Clinic on the 16th!
- Loretta
LORETTA’S RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Baked Brie. This is a great appetizer for a party.
Choose your favorite toppings and have fun!
Ingredients:
1 Brie round
Pecans or almonds (1 cup or more)
Brown Sugar
Bourbon or dark Rum
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take the Brie out of
the wooden box and remove the plastic wrapper.
Do not remove the “skin” of the wheel. Place it in
an oven safe dish that is nice enough to serve from.
Top with nuts and brown sugar. I like to put some
around the outside as well. Pour liquor over the
whole thing. Put in oven until brown sugar is bubbly.
Serve with crackers. It will help if you use a sharp
knife to cut the brie skin open after it is heated. I
have made this with bourbon with almonds, and
rum with pecans. Next Christmas I am trying it with
cranberries and Bourbon. Be creative!!
Now comes the fun part: selecting clinicians. Board
member Carol Rike has been hard at work
gathering ideas and researching clinicians. If you
have ideas, contact her via email
carol.rike@unitedrealtyocala.com or phone (352)
351-8047.
Our first clinic has been scheduled for March 16
(remember, those clinicians flee back north in April
or May!). Our clinician is Lorna Donahue. A USDF
Silver medalist, Lorna has shown through I-1 and her
students compete through the FEI levels. I had the
opportunity to watch a short lesson the other day. I

GROOMING FOR SUPPLENESS
The day after speaking to STRIDE at our monthly
dinner meeting February 18th, Dr. Patricia Bona,
DC (Pennsylvania) provided STRIDE members with a
hands-on demonstration of her “therapeutic crossfiber grooming” technique. The demonstration was
held at member Ellie Metelits’ Justa Farm, where Dr.
Bona has been treating Ellie’s horses for many years.
