Be an Exemplary Horseman/Horsewoman
Here are six questions Egon von Neindorff, a classical dressage master said we need to ask ourselves as horse people:
1. Do I possess that suitable attitude toward riding whereby honorable work constantly stands above the striving for personal
success?
2. While building my training program, do I consider the possibilities (capabilities) of each horse?
3. Do I exclusively utilize such training methods that keep the horse united in rhythm, balance, suppleness and bend, as the
prerequisite on which all further goals can be developed?
4. Do my equestrian capabilities match that which I expect and want from my horse?
5. Do I as a rider possess the feeling--which is harmony with the horse's nature--and do I, as observer or judge, have the eye for
detecting when harmony is disturbed?
6. Am I, through my behavior and my work with the horse, a good example for others?

Observations and Reflections from VADA Fall Show and Regional Championships
by Paige Nuckols
1.
Our breeding programs designed to produce quality dressage horses are working. The number of athletic and talented young
horses filling the training level and first level classes is impressive. These horses are the ones I call “super-horses”, as in “superheroes.” The moment they set foot in the warm up area, they ooze suppleness, swing and forwardness that average horses have
to warm-up to get to---these guys just have it. It’s easy to envision them moving up the levels. When you look up their pedigree
in the program, they quite often read like the who’s who of Dressage stallions in both this country and Europe. They are lovely
and inspiring. I could watch them for hours.
2.
Correct and accurate riding is rewarded more often than not. These “Super-horses” are intimidating, no doubt, but the judges
are being fair. Certainly every judge has his or her preferences, but generally speaking, I think that they are judging each horse
as an individual. If you go in and ride an accurate and steady test, and your horse’s general way of going is correct, you will get
competitive scores.
3.
Well-ridden dressage will help a horse stay sound in their later years. There are always debates about whether dressage is truly
“good” for horses or whether the years of repetitive movement only serve to ruin their joints. I had the opportunity to watch the
Grand Prix Freestyle on Saturday night. It was truly impressive how many of the horses were in their late teens and still
performing happily. In my mind this reaffirms that correctly done dressage can allow horses to stay sound and happy throughout
their lives.
4.
While they are rare, magical partnerships between horse and rider can exist at the upper levels. Often when I watch
upper level work, while I am amazed by the intricacy of the work and the power, I’m also a bit saddened by the sense of
anxiousness and tension that I see in the horses. I’m often left wondering if I’d ever want to do that with one of my
horses, to push them to that place where there is such a fine line between brilliance and tension. I realize that a certain
degree of positive tension is what makes brilliance, but so often things get out of balance, with the horse’s energy and
power converting to anxious behavior rather than harmony and expression. The final ride of Saturday night, Felicitas
Von Neumann-Cosel and Tonico Do Top, was a perfect reminder of the harmony that can exist between a horse and
rider doing the highest level work. Tonico appeared to be dancing to the music of his own accord throughout the test.
The timing and flow of the movements and the music were excellent. It was the kind of ride that brought a smile to
everyone’s face. The combination of a quiet, elegant rider, using only a snaffle and a horse relaxed, yet confident in his
work produced a lovely image of what dressage can and should be. As the two left the arena it was announced that this
was their final performance in the competition ring. I am very grateful that I was able to see this inspiring partnership
one last time. I will remember this ride whenever I start to question if upper level dressage can be done without overcooking our horses.
5.
Watching the warm-up area can be very educational. I was reminded no matter what level you are riding, the foundation of the
training pyramid must still be solid. So every ride, every warm-up, must first begin with rhythm and relaxation, before one can
go on to more complex things. During your ride, if these things are lost, you must step back and re-establish them. Watching the
really good riders and trainers in the warm up (the one’s whose horses look happy and correct in their work) this is what you
see—always a release and a return to the basics if things start to boil over.
6.
All of the volunteers that help with this show make such a huge difference in the overall atmosphere of the show. From the
warm-up area steward, who quietly reminds us of how many rides away we are, to the ring steward who wishes us luck before
we go in and says nice things about our horses and is patient about bit checking after our ride, these are the people that make
the whole show such a pleasant experience. Everyone has good rides and bad rides, horses are, after all, horses, but having such
a nice group of people around makes the show ring a much friendlier place. We riders don’t say it often enough, but we really do
appreciate everything that the volunteers do to make the shows enjoyable.
7.
My final observation might be the most important one. It is definitely 10 degrees colder and the wind is much stronger on top of
the hill. I was very glad that I hadn’t clipped my eight o’clock pony and that I had a white turtleneck to wear under my show
coat. Always pack more warm clothes than you think you’ll ever need and think twice about clipping for the Fall Show!
“How I Used My VADACC Scholarship”
by Evan Coldiron
This has been quite a transition year for Nils and I. I have moved to the 16-25 Grand Prix test for my gold medal scores and it has been
extremely challenging. Early in the year Nils had tooth surgery and then was off regular training for a while as Snowmaggedon 2015 hit (as
were we all).
In late August I had to have extensive surgery on my badly deviated septum and an adenoidectomy. The recovery period was longer than
expected, but I can finally breath through my nose!
We have worked hard to get Nils into the shape needed to do piaffe, passage, and good, solid full pirouettes. As you all know, these are
the most difficult and physically strenuous moves a horse can execute. I am fortunate to be able to ride a horse that has the possibility of
executing them.
We had a decent first showing at The Meadow, but soon after it became too hot for him with his anhidrosis to travel much. We had a
good and not so good day at GAIG’s in October and feel as if we need specialized help with piaffe particularly. I am pleased to say I will be
using my scholarship money to have specific training with Bruno Greber at his farm. I am very grateful to VADACC for giving me this
opportunity to get the specialized help I need for this remaining and important hurdle for Nils and I to ‘Go for Gold’.

The Championship Experience
By Christine Brandel
If you didn’t attend or show in the inaugural VADA-CC Schooling Show Championships held at the Chesterfield County
Fairgrounds in October, you missed out on a great show experience. Modeled after the championships that VADA-NOVA has
done, and managed and run by Beth Atkinson and Susan Ellis, this show was the epitome of what I believe a good schooling
championship should be – fun, welcoming, supportive of riders and horses, and educational. It was a perfect way to end the
competitive season without a ton of pressure or expense.
My daughter, Wren, who is 9, and I qualified for the show at the VADA-CC Fall Schooling show held at Saddlebrook Stables in
September. As a junior rider still getting her feet wet in the competitive arena, this was essentially a great “starter big show”
for my daughter, while being a fun culmination of my own show year for myself and my mount.
On the day of the Championships, we arrived to the showgrounds to find fall themed decorations at the show office and in
and around the competition ring. There was a lovely “photo area” set up with the VADA-CC banner, and the warm-up and
competition rings were large with good footing. There was plenty of food available for purchase as well, from yummy baked
goods to chips, smoked hot dogs and sausage, and barbecue. All proceeds from the concessions benefitted the VADA-CC
Junior/Young Rider Team, so it was great food for a great cause. The ribbons, prizes, and trophies were beautiful and
enticing, and competitors received gift bags full of treats at check-in, too.
I had a particularly good show day, but aside from that, I felt that the comments and feedback I received on my rides from
judge Kim Schmidt were helpful, constructive, and supportive. Spectators were also supportive, and I really enjoyed the
camaraderie of the atmosphere. My daughter had a few struggles in her show day, but the show staff and judge were
committed to helping her learn in a positive and supportive way. It was an important experience while learning all those good
things involvement with horses teaches our young (and older!) people – sportsmanship, perseverance, courage, and
determination. In her last test, the crowd cheered her on, and the smile on her face showed her sense of accomplishment.
The sight of all the junior riders, trotting around the warmup ring while waiting to have their pictures taken, ribbons flapping
in the breeze, was inspiring.
Honestly, that is what all of this is about. This show was a terrific venue for the membership to get out and have a great time,
end their competitive year on a high note, support each other, and be together as an organization. Particularly for those who
do not participate in shows at the licensed and recognized level, this series is a way to have that ‘fancy-show’ experience on a
smaller level. I know plans for next year are already in the works, and I definitely plan to make it part of my show season next
year. I hope that all of you do, too.

Dressage at the Meadow
Ride for the Roses
Dressage at the Meadow 2015 was a complete success. Many thanks to our marvelous volunteers without whom the
show definitely “could not go on”. Alison and I have finally paid all the bills and collected all of the sponsorship fees. This
year we made about $2000.00.
Each year we have offered lovely prizes and had strong sponsorships. We have received many compliments from
exhibitors, judges and vendors. Many people comment on the friendly atmosphere at our show.
Next year’s show is set for May 7 & 8, 2016. Our judges will be Gail Hoff-Carmona from California and Joan Darnell
from Texas. Our Technical Delegate will be Michelle King from Virginia. We will start meeting in January 2016 to begin
planning.
This will be the last year that I will be managing Dressage at the Meadow. If you are interested in taking over this
position, I would enjoy talking with you. There is terrific support through the Board and the volunteers. I would be happy to
train someone this year and it would be the perfect opportunity to follow me through the process this year.
Please feel free to contact me by email – cmgiedt@gmail.com or cell phone 650/218-3321.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Carmen
