After a lot of planning and a
lot of hard work from our
competitors, our Judge, our
Championship Challenge
Committee members and
volunteers, the 2015 WHC
Championship Challenge
Show was a success! The
show was held at West 20 Ranch & Saddle Co. in East Troy, Wisconsin and was
judged by Terry Lauth.
It was a little cool and breezy, but it was dry! There were 62 classes which included
Halter, English, and Western classes from Tiny Tots all the way through the Senior
Senior age groups. The best of the best were there to compete and they did not
disappoint. Winners from each class won awards, which ranged from ribbons to
chairs and umbrellas to name a few.
Participants nominated their horses in their chosen classes throughout the year.
They then qualified by receiving one first or two second placings in their designated
classes. The results were sent to the WHC office. In turn, when a nominated
participant qualifies, their results were placed on the WHC website. All qualifying
shows were sanctioned by the WHC, and listed on our
website.
The WHC Championship Challenge Horse Show was
fortunate to have great sponsors that helped make this
show a success.
The WHC Championship Challenge Committee will be
meeting in early October 2015 to review how the show
turned out and what the plans will be for a 2016 show.
Please check our website and Facebook page for the most
up-to-date information on this great program.

Farm Technology Days
A strong crowd full of eager spenders helped make the August 25-27 Farm
Technology Days a great success.
The three-day event at the Statz Brothers dairy operation in the town of Sun
Prairie drew an estimated 45,000 people, which was the largest in the past
several years for the annual event that moves from county to county.
The Wisconsin Horse Council organized the equine events and was a $5,000 Bronze Sponsor.
The equine events were very well attended. Blain’s Farm and Fleet sponsored the clinicians
and demonstrations. The clinicians were Ray Ainsworth, Sid Zacharias, Dan Grunewald with
WIHA (Wisconsin Interscholastic Horsemanship Association), WLAER (Wisconsin Large Animal
Emergency Response), Kettle Moraine Rough Riders Drill Team and the Milk Buds Pony
Hitch . We are featuring these events on the following pages.

Halls Creek and Bush Lake Flats
Patty Wisneski
Have you ridden the Halls Creek horse trails located in Florence County yet? More than 50% of the land in that county is publicly
owned giving you access to miles of riding. The trails at Halls Creek are very well marked with white carnite post signs and color-
coordinated for easy to navigation. The camping area at Halls Creek was improved last year providing ample room for even the largest
rigs. There is a pit toilet provided but currently there is no water available.
The Bush Lake Flats trails are 4 miles West of Halls Creek Road on County Rd. C.
Bush Lake Flats trails are approximately eleven miles long, but the entire forest is open for riding. Most of the trail is a single track, with a
surface of sandy soil or grass. These are easy trails with no real challenging areas; this makes it an excellent trail for novice riders and
green horses. There is free rustic camping available at the trailhead and water has been provided, thanks in part to the generous grant
from Wisconsin Horse Council.
The exciting news for this year is the “Connector Trail” which allows riders to camp at either trailhead and still access the other trails!
A seven-mile trail has been created connecting Halls Creek and Bush Lake Flats. The trail is clearly marked and easy to follow. This trail
was partially funded by Wisconsin Horse Council’s Trail Grant Program.

Abby’s Picture Horse – quest for a drill team partner
KMRR/KMEZ Riders Equestrian Drill Teams
Abby Moravac, age 13, daughter of Nichole and Joe Moravec, North Prairie WI
Twiddling my thumbs and wiggling my toes clearly showed my nervous excitement for the day ahead. March 14, 2015
arrived. Roads that were so familiar turned unfamiliar with the thought of going to a place that I’ve never been before.
After a long winding gravel driveway with an occasional embellishment of a sturdy row of pine trees, we finally arrived
and came across a tan metal indoor riding arena that was nestled into trees with a cramped parking lot filled with horse
trailers and trucks. We spent a couple of minutes trying to find the entrance of this new arena that held my undiscovered treasure.
Finally, we discovered the dusty white door entrance and trudged our way through the icy murky mud until we arrived
at the stainless steel handle. I was scared to open it. For the last week I excitedly anticipated this moment and didn’t
want it to be ruined by disappointment. This moment could be my dream come true. I didn’t know and that’s what
frightened me. I opened that handle with caution because I was unclear what was on the other side.
As the door slowly opened, I took my first step into the sandy arena floor with my newly polished boots
tediously polished them the night before to help calm my excitement but it only heightened my nervousness. The first thing I spied was a tacked up relaxed 6 year old chestnut Quarter Horse Paint gelding tied
to the dusty pen rail. The black pens were arranged to make up the thrilling starting box where a roper
and his horse launch out with a burst of energy. I scanned the busy arena to desperately search for the
horse that I could only stare at in a picture. There he was. My picture horse! I was told his name was
Jackpot. But he was so much more than a photo, a name and a horse. No, he was beautiful. Ridden by
Steve, he solemnly pranced with poise in a magnificent relaxed manner that didn’t allow my eyes to look
at anything but him. My heart was so distracted that my eyes forgot to notice Steve was smiling at me. I
also didn’t realize that I was smiling so much that my cheeks were becoming sore from sheer delight.
There Jackpot was again, putting my eyes and smile under his magical spell.
Not allowing my eyes to stop admiring his beauty. He was coming closer and closer to me. “What do you think?” Steve asked. “I… like him.” The bright smile
that I displayed obviously showed that I simply didn’t “like” him. Oh, I loved him! I was so caught in the moment that I forgot what I came there to do. Steve
told me to hop on. I happily grabbed the taped horn and the seat of the working saddle and swung myself up. I felt like
a little girl swimming in an oversized saddle and my feet didn’t come close to touching the stirrups. We adjusted the
stirrups to what I thought would be an acceptable length.
Although I’ve ridden since a toddler, at this moment, I didn’t know what to do. My excitement masked my knowledge
of riding. After a few moments, I snapped back and I began my life changing experience. I used caution while using
each seat, leg, and verbal cue trying to discover his responses. A simple task that brought an exhilarating rush. Each
step that he took felt like I took a step with him. It was a weird wonderful instantaneous connection. He didn’t know
what this little human was doing on his back and at 15.2 hands, I didn’t really know this gigantic horse I was on. With
every move I made, he curiously and willingly navigated to please me. We were so unfamiliar with each other but at
the same time very comfortable together. When he trotted, it felt like I was floating. When he cantered, it felt like I
was on a rocking horse with great power like the one I loved so dearly as a little girl. Every one of my fears was
melted away by the trust that immediately fused us together.
Fears quickly faded. What if I didn’t like him? What if he’s too big? Too tall? Too crazy? Too slow? Too mean?
Nonsense, all of these festering fears
dissolved after meeting him in person; however, my biggest single fear remained. What if I don’t love him much as that loving red roan who helped raise me?
The mare that was there for me when I was being picked on by the girls at school. The red roan that taught me that I have control, I’m tough and I can do
anything. One who helped nurture a little girl into a young lady I am today.
What if I didn’t feel that connection that I still have so close to my heart? Even though I could never imagine her not at the barn, I needed a horse that could
bring me into adulthood. Into the woman I want to become. A horse beyond special. Jackpot was all that. He charmed me like a princess, one who found her
happily ever after. Jackpot had a floating jog that carried me just like my little mare ‘Socks’. He had the perfect combination of a comfortable rocking canter of
my big quarter horse Maverick. Jackpot had the fast energetic gallop of my little boy Bo. All the horses that mean so much to me are keepsake portrayed in
‘My Picture Horse’ remembrance photo display. Like my other mounts, we bonded as a pair the moment I swung into that well-worn saddle. We were meant
to be together. Yes indeed….this horse has found his rider and this rider happily found her new drill team horse.

Wisconsin Large Animal
Emergency Response
Whether an animal is in a trailer
accident, submerged in mud or
water, trapped
into a ravine, cast in a stall, or has fallen on
barnyard ice and cannot get up, it is human
nature to want to help. But large animals can
be unpredictable, especially when in
desperate, life or death situations.
When stressed and trapped, livestock can
injure themselves, property, and the people around them. Further injury to the animal, as well as to the person who seeks to
aid the animal, can occur if the rescue is
not performed in an organized, efficient,
and safe manner.
Please note-Live horses not used in
demonstration; these are models.
Wisconsin Large Animal Emergency Response exists to increase survival rates of
livestock being handled during emergencies while increasing the safety and
efficiency of first responders and veterinarians by implementing training programs
and assisting with responses
WIHA at Farm Technology Days
Some of the past and present Wisconsin Interscholastic Horsemanship Association (WIHA) members had the opportunity to
participate in the Farm Technology Days on Wednesday, August 26 th 2015. The following members participated: Emma
Sands, Taylor Dolan, Casey Renz, Mackenzie Bloemer, Olivia Henning, Cailyn and Chloe Schave, Brittany Danda, Tyler
Stewart, Kathryn Warner, Sid and Sam Len.
The members participated in two clinics given by trainer, Dan Grunewald from Helenville, Wisconsin. The first clinic focused
on showmanship, horsemanship and equitation. The second clinic focused on challenges the riders were having with their
horses (i.e. wrong leads, transitions, etc.). The clinics were informative and fun!
WIHA also had an information booth which helped to promote the organization and attracted some interest in the program.
WIHA would like to say Thank You to the Wisconsin Horse Council for inviting them to participate in the Farm Technology
Days and for their continued support for the success and growth of WIHA.

Ray Ainsworth
Ray does not train horses; he teaches them in a way that makes him one of the world’s
most unique horsemen. He has found that through communication and non-violence,
horses learn faster and retain the information longer. Ray’s approach is based on the
fact that horses have their own language and are capable of communicating a wide
variety of messages. All horses know it. So does Ray.and so can you.
From a young age, Ray Ainsworth studied the language of horses. As a winning
jockey, trainer and competitor, Ray has developed and fine-tuned a resistance-free
technique that he uses in teaching horses and working with behavioral issues of every kind.
Ray travels the world presenting entertaining and informative clinics to horse lovers of all disciplines. Plus, he has
a series of comprehensive teaching DVDs. Ray has started as many as 10,000 horses. His stress-free program
teaches horses how to behave with a maximum of understanding. He works with all types, breeds of horses –
young foals, old mares, abused horses, trailer-shy horses, horses who
will not allow their feet and ears to be handled and every horse in
between. Ray’s specialty is starting horses the right way and helping
address behaviorial concerns.
Along the way, owners and riders
learn horse language themselves
and are able to apply this
knowledge to their own dealings
with these amazing animals

Farm Tech Days
by Laura Rose
What do drones, ponies, scientists, and combines have in common? They were all at Farm Tech Days near Sun
Prairie! This three-day event at the end of August was hosted by the Statz Brothers dairy operation, and pleased
crowds of equestrians, farmers, and city-goers alike with an endless variety of educational displays and
entertainments.
Ray Ainsworth works with Troy
and his owner, Kyra Kubehl.
Notable Mississippi horse trainer, Ray Ainsworth, was there,
tackling “problem” horses for local owners and explaining his
methods. Three times a day for all three days, he worked
miracles in minutes, eliminating bucking and spooking with his
firm presence and persistent patience. Within an hour,
Ainsworth was able to ride a three year old filly which had never
been saddled, plus taught her to stop fussing about fly spray.
Claustrophobic horses were trailered with ease, and buckers
de-bucked.
A different kind of show was put on, Sid Zacharias, who rode his mustang up a narrow ramp and onto a platform
mounted above his truck. Horse and rider also bowed, carried flags, and did other tricks. Zacharias got his horse as
an untouched feral Mustang from the BLM and trained it himself. Born in Spooner,
Wisconsin, Zacharias now bases his training and farrier business in Oklahoma.
An eight hitch pony team was a big hit, winding serpentine paths through the arena and
doubling back on itself multiple times. Generations of these dextrous black-and-white
equines, collectively dubbed “The Milk Buds,” have been bred specifically to entertain
crowds with tricks and skillful driving. The Schottler family, hailing from St. Croix county,
Wisconsin, has owned, bred, and trained the ponies since the 1960s. They round out their
performances with musical numbers, using a sound system built into their custom wagon.
The ever-incredible Kettle Moraine Rough Riders equestrian drill team was also present at
Farm Tech Days. Dressed in white leather, the riders and their glittery horses did not let the small arena hamper them
too much as they wheeled, spun, and performed complex interweaving patterns with precision. The team encouraged
interested horse owners to become part of their group.
Other equine demonstrations included an excellent simulation by the Wisconsin Large Animal Emergency Response
team, and two highly effective showing clinics with Dan Grunewald from the Wisconsin Interscholastic Horsemanship
Association.
Memorable non-equine events included tours of the Statz Brother’s 100 cow milking parlour and manure-based
methane power plant, field demonstrations with the latest in machinery, a tractor driving competition, and musical
performances by the Soggy Prairie Boys, guitarist Mark Wayne, Maggie Mae (RFD TV), comedic songster Dan Riley,
and Midlife Crisis. Also gracing the stage were celebrities such as Alice in Dairyland and Jerry Apps, author of many
well-loved books about Wisconsin farm life.
While not quite famous, distinguished scientists from the UW Madison Extension were on-hand to provide every
possible assistance to gardeners, groundskeepers, and farmers battling weeds, bugs, soil deficiencies, and plant
diseases. These experts provided live or preserved examples of weeds and bugs with their names and the best way
to stop them. At one booth, extensive training on how to spot and stop the Emerald Ash borer was provided. At
another, Master Gardeners stood by to answer any question concerning plant care. Free soil, water, and hay testing
were also offered.
The biggest wonder of all may have been the existence of the venue itself. Although built practically overnight on top
of a 100 acre hayfield, Farm Tech Days was more of a true metropolis than a makeshift site. The public navigated
wide avenues complete with street signs, topped up their wallets from strategically placed ATMs, and visited barns,
sheds, and giant tents which housed museum-worthy exhibits. A flotilla of flaggers, food-serving FFA members, trash
collectors, and other volunteers kept the “city” ship-shape, while a mini ambulance patrolled the grounds. Three years
of planning and the heroic efforts of many, including the Statz family, made this event truly memorable.

MILK BUDS
It all started in the mid-sixties when John and Georgine
Schottler were living near Austin, MN, and John filled a neighbor's silo and took a pony named Lightning in exchange. Years
later, John chose a tiny 1 1/2 year old black and white pony
out of a field with 25 other horses in it. That pony was Corky.
All of the ponies in that hitch had been raised on the
Schottler's dairy farm in St. Croix County, Wisconsin. The
eighth one was Corky, the sire of the herd. Corky had never
missed a performance in 29 seasons!
Because they wanted the hitch to be associated with the dairy industry, and people frequently likened the hitch to a popular
Clydesdale hitch, in 1982 they decided to call the team THE MILK BUDS!
As the family of singers have married and left the exhibit, new third generation singers filled the gap! Even as the family has
grown and gone about their lives, the Milk Buds remain. Not the same ones, but new generations that keep the wagon rolling!
What hasn't changed is John's enthusiasm and the appeal of the ponies to young and old.
WAMSTAR Thanks,

Sid Zacharias
Sid grew up in Northern Wisconsin and was introduced to horses at an early
age. He has been training horses over 10 years and has had great success both
in and out of the show ring.
Sid has trained and ridden with many world renowned horsemen including
CraIg Johnson, Clinton Anderson, Dan James, Pat Parelli, and Guy McLean just
to name a few.
Along with training horses for clients, Sid also competed in the Minnesota
Hooved Animal Rescue Trainers Challenge 2010-2013 winning Fan Favorite
each year as well as Reserve Champion.
On his horsemanship journey achieving his many goals, Sid came across the American Mustang horse and discovered the
rewarding partnership he could build with them while bringing awareness to the Mustang breed.
In 2011, Sid was named Champion at his first Extreme Mustang Makeover at the Midwest Horse Fair in Madison, Wisconsin.
The next year, Sid trained two Mustangs for the Extreme Mustang Makeover in Clemson, South Carolina and was awarded
Reserve Champion and the Double Down Champion award for having the highest
preliminary score with both Mustangs.
September 13, 2013-Fort Worth, Texas. Sid competed in the Mustang Millions with
two Mustangs. With only 120 days to train and more than 190 trainers competing in
the Legend Division, Sid finished in the Top 18 with both Mustangs.
September, 2014-Fort Worth, Texas. Sid finished Reserve Champion at the Supreme
Extreme Mustang Makeover. Sid combined reining and trick riding on Durango the
Kid, a 5 year old gelding gathered from Black Rock Range West, New York, and was
voted the overall fan favorite by the audience.
Sid has earned numerous awards in various disciplines including reining, trail, Extreme Cowboy racing and colt starting
competitions. Sid is a powerful clinician and a versatile entertainer. For Sid, “when a horse becomes a part of you, there’s
nothing you can’t do together”.

Dan Grunewald
Dan Grunewald, lifelong horseman, is passionate about his work. He is well known among
equestrians in the Wisconsin area having been born and raised in Jefferson, Wisconsin where his
current facility is located. Growing up through the horse industry, Dan’s extensive knowledge in
the horse world has made him a world-class clinician, judge, and exhibitor.
Dan is devoted to helping his students and horses attain their goals and understand what it takes
to reach the next level. He truly believes that both horse and rider should bond into a strong
successful team in all aspects of training. Dan’s energy, experience, and love of the industry,
allows him to have a unique training method in a sport that he is passionate. Dan is known for his
positive outlook and believes in clear communication and has seen astounding results in his own
training and in that of his students.
Dan has been an advocate in getting our future horsemen and women involved more in the industry. He founded a program in
Wisconsin called the Wisconsin Interscholastic Horsemanship Association (WIHA). The program allows kids the opportunity to
build an equestrian team through their school and compete against other teams of their equal size. This program continues to
grow stronger every year, and it has over 30 schools and 300 kids involved.
Dan incorporates three main ideas into his training principals: Trust, Patience, and Focus. These are also the names three of his
mustangs, which are a passion of his. He has competed in five (5) Extreme Mustang Competitions… This is a program where you
are given a wild, untouched animal and ninety (90) days to train it before you compete in front of thousands of spectators. Dan
has finished once in the top five (5) and four in the top ten (10). Dan has shared this experience with many of his students,
friends, and colleagues in the industry in hopes of promoting the wild mustang and possibly getting them in the show ring.
In 2011, Dan was HRTV’s America’s Favorite Trail Horse Co Host/Commentator. He was named 2009 WHC Special Achievement
Award Recipient for his creation of the WIHA and 2008 WHC Judge of the Year to name a couple of his most recent awards.
Dan holds ABRA, IBHA, ARHA, WSHC, and other state judge’s cards.
Dan attended the 2014 Color Council Judges Seminar and the 2014 Multi State
Judges Seminar.
He has trained/shown several Local, State,
National, and World Champion horses throughout his career.

Wisconsin Horse Council
Thank You Wisconsin Horse Council!
Your support has helped us bring a higher level of understanding and horsemanship
through our August Clinic with Jeff Sanders. In addition, and to us most importantly,
your sponsorship has helped us expand the scholarship fund which will enable us to
offer more youth riders the opportunity to advance their horsemanship and explore the
world of Cowboy Dressage.
Jeff Sanders Modern Vaquero Horsemanship Clinic
Thanks to the wonderful support of the Wisconsin Horse Councils sponsorship, the August 7th-9th clinic was a great success.
Jeff Sanders comes from a long line of Californio Vaquero horsemen and is continuing to teach the traditions that have been
passed onto him around the world. He is well versed in classical dressage and how it has been used throughout history to
work cattle.
Sanders truly offered something for everyone and all skill sets. As a teacher Sanders was able to break things down into simple
and digestible bits that allowed riders to make marked improvement. His warm and empathetic personality put horses and
riders at ease creating a relaxed atmosphere ideal for learning. With so many different levels of riders working on the same
maneuvers, auditors were able to see the different stages of training from start to finish.
Riders and auditors alike enjoyed learning the hows and whys of the lateral movements. The morning session helped many
clarify the bio-mechanics of a movement along with recognizing when the horse (and rider) are in the right state of mind to
accomplish them. The afternoon session allowed riders to apply these moves to working cattle.
The California Vaquero style of working cattle is one of patience and precision. The cattle are used to help riders train their
horses rather than training a horse to work cattle. As an example, riders were able to use a renver (haunches -out) to keep a
cow along the fence to help guide them slowly to an open gate. The leg-yield and half-pass were used to apply and remove
pressure while keeping the horse ready for the next maneuver while separating the cow from the herd.
WCD is expanding the 2016 clinic to 4 days to allow for more rider spots. If you are interested in learning the hows and whys
and want to put a purpose behind the movements we encourage you to attend this clinic.
Wisconsin Cowboy Dressage Youth Scholarship
Wisconsin Cowboy Dressage is extremely proud to announce the expansion of its Youth Scholarship Program. It is thanks to
the generous help and support of the Wisconsin Horse Council that this program is able to offer more funds to more youth.
Youth members will be able to apply for aid to attend educational clinics or shows being put on by the WCD. Thanks to the
WSHC sponsorship, the WCD is now able to offer more scholarships to help to more youth riders explore, learn and improve
their horsemanship through Cowboy Dressage.
Cowboy Dressage (CD) is about rewarding the TRY in both horse and rider. It is the heart of this discipline. By looking ahead to
future generations, the WCD hopes that by allowing more youth to try, we will be able to help build confident, educated and
willing leaders to keep the horse industry in Wisconsin moving forward.
http://wisconsincowboydressage.org/individualmembership/wcd-youth-scholarship/
It is with great appreciation and gratitude, that we thank
the members of the grant/scholarship committee for
their support. We promise to continue working hard at
building more educational events for riders throughout
Wisconsin.
Sincerely, The Wisconsin Cowboy Dressage, Inc Board and its Members

Gayle Zinniel & Kris Blacklock
The 2015 Farm Technology Days held August 25-26-27 at the Statz Bros
Family Farm, Marshall WI was truly Something Special in Wisconsin! Farm
Technology Days is one of the largest farm shows in the nation. It’s the only
outdoor farm show of its size that moves to a new site in a different county
each year andis run almost entirely by 700 volunteers. Starting in 1954 as a
plowing contest in Waupaca County, there’s always been a strong commitment making education available to every farmer in
Wisconsin. Motto is ’Education by the Acre’.
In 2015, ‘Tent City’ encompassed 60 acres of exhibit space, 700 vendors
and exhibitors plus 400 acres of field demonstrations. Blain’s Farm &
Fleet’s Equine Center offered information from the Wisconsin Horse
Council, several live demonstrations from national clinicians (Ray
Ainsworth, Flora MS; Dan Grunewald, Elkhorn WI and Sid Zacharias,
Spooner WI), the WI Large Animal Emergency Response and the Milk Buds,
ponies pulling a one-of-a-kind eight pony hitch, veterinarians and UWExtension specialists plus the Kettle Moraine Rough Riders Equestrian Drill Team who perform with precision horsemanship
and teamwork with beautiful horses bonded with their riders to exhilarating music in the sport of drill.
2015 is also special in that the Kettle Moraine Rough Riders Equestrian Drill Team is celebrating their 20 th Anniversary.
Founded in 1995 and sponsored by Shotliff’s All Around Equine Events in Evansville WI, they carry American flags all over
Wisconsin and the Midwest to support our great country and ride with pride promoting the sport of drill. The team is comprised of mothers, daughters, sons, grandmas and granddaughters and horses of a variety of breeds.
The team has performed at several Farm Technology Days throughout the years.
The August 25, 2015 Farm Technology Days performances by Rough Riders/Horses included Bertie James & Cooper,
Waterloo; Chera James & Hercules,
Waterloo; Gayle Zinniel & Mr. Bo
Jangles, Dousman; Jean Welch & Luna,

travel, the Rough Riders are serious about having FUN as illustrated by Bertie James taking a mechanized ride-about!
The Kettle Moraine Rough Riders wish to recognize and thank Farm Technology Days, the Wisconsin Horse Council and Blain’s
Farm and Fleet for their hospitality, the opportunity to perform and appreciation to all who attended, assisted and cheered!

Illinois then to Jefferson, Washington, State Fair, Boone, Indiana, Illinois again then and Walworth county fair. Everyone had

Memorable Moments – Taylor Schmidt
Vicki Hodel, President WDCTA Central Chapter
Kris Blacklock, Vice President
Brittany Remhof, Secretary/Treasurer
WDCTA Central WI Chapter wishes to recognize and applaud our member’s horsemanship activities and
asked member’s to share clinics attended, shows competed in or judged, goals accomplished or are still
working on, a new horse.... anything members did with their horse or with other’s horses. We all learn from
each other and wish to encourage horsemanship sportsmanship. WDCTA Central WI Chapter is proud to
introduce Taylor Schmidt, daughter of Brian and Cari Schmidt, Wautoma and applaud her 2015 Memorable
Moments.
Memorable Moments
As a Youth/Jr Rider member of WDCTA Central WI Chapter, Taylor participated in the 2015
WDCTA Capital Mini Events held June 13-14 and August 22-23, organized by the Southwest WI Chapter and hosted by The
Horse First Farm in Brooklyn WI. This was her third time participating in the annual weekend eventing event that includes a
Saturday clinic and Sunday competition for Elementary and Beginner Novice Junior and Adult riders. Taylor and her horse,
‘Miss P’ became partners in March 2013. They’ve grown into a team who enjoys learning and having FUN. Miss P is an 8
year old off-the-track Thoroughbred who didn’t have much riding experience outside a race track. It took a lot of lessons and
clinics combined with a mixture of lots and lots and lots of consistent practice, patience and dedication to get Taylor’s horse
ready for off-track showing and horse events.
The weekend Mini Capital Event includes group dressage and cross country eventing sessions
on Saturday and competion on Sunday. 2015 clinicians were Megan Dischler, dressage and
Kerry Zimlicka, jumping. On Sunday, 30 riders competed within the 4 divisions. With just
enough rain to soften the ground and relieve the dust, cross-country conditions were
PERFECT! 23 horse/rider combinations completed the 3 part requirements – dressage,
stadium jumping and cross country jumping.
In her own words, Taylor explains the allure of eventing… “I absolutely love going to the
WDCTA Capital Mini Event each year because the weekend event is perfect event for the
beginner to learn, excel and have FUN along the journey -- that is exactly what I and my horse
"Miss P" have done. In 2012, at our very first Mini event we got eliminated due to over
course time. It was our first event so I was just happy we completed everything – the dressage test and all of the cross
country jumps without any issues! In 2015, at the June Capital Mini Event, we improved and ended up taking 7th place! The
August Capital Mini Event was the perfect way to end our show season. We were truly a T-E-A-M and experienced the most
relaxed, smooth and confident rides I have ever had on Miss P. Our teamwork landed us in 3rd place! I was ecstatic at how
great our performance was and I have learned, with the help of events put on by WDCTA is that with hard work, dedication
and confidence, you and your horse can achieve great things. I am now attending UW-Stevens Point and missing my horses
like crazy, but I can't wait to get back in the saddle a school for the next event!”
Created in 1971, Wisconsin Dressage & Combined Training Association is a non-profit organization that offers educational activities, sessions, clinics and shows in eventing and dressage throughout Wisconsin within Central WI,
Kettle Moraine, Southwest and Upper Peninsula Chapters. WDCTA is a charter member of the United States Dressage Federation (USDF). WDCTA welcomes all breeds & riders….Youth/Jr Riders, Adult Amateurs and
Professionals, please join us!
