THE
P RESIDENT ’ S D ESK
The CDCT competition
year is pretty much
behind us, but there are
still a few shows scheduled in the fall by other
GMO’s and by several
stables. A highlight will
be the Regional Championships and the firsttime ever U.S. Dressage
Finals. Congratulations to CDCT Vice-President Kathy
Thode and her homebred Oldenburg Brookside Patch
for qualifying at Second Level for the Regional competition in Saugerties mid-September.
Best of luck to both of you!
Many thanks to Anne Ward and Dinah Guarino for
co-managing our Casual Show. While numbers were
down a bit, the enthusiasm ran high. We had beautiful
weather – a real gift in this summer of high heat and
torrential rain. Thanks to Ginny Grove, manager at
Oxley Equestrian Center, for allowing us the use of this
terrific facility once again. Our “R” judge, Valerie
Knight, was generous with her time and comments for
each competitor.
By the time you read this, our clinic with David Thind
will have occurred. Many thanks to Michelle Blade for
organizing this clinic. David has been a popular clinician,
and I’m sure the clinic will be a great success. Thanks
also to Gale Wolf for hosting the clinic at Gale’s Equine
Facility.

President’s Note Continued from page 1
As our thoughts turn to the successes of the summer, we focus on the goals for next year. We will have our Annual
Meeting in November, which includes the election of Officers and Board members. I urge you to get more involved
in the running of Cayuga Dressage and CT, and to invite your horsey friends to join and get involved as well. Our
organization is only as vibrant as you make it. We would love to get some new ideas, especially to support our
young riders and folks interested in combined training. Please consider coming to the annual meeting and volunteering your time and energy to make our GMO what YOU want it to be!
Cheers! Carol

CDCT C ASUAL D RESSAGE S HOW
AUGUST 10, 2013
Report by Anne Ward
The CDCT Club couldn’t have asked for a better competition day with our casual show being held at the
J.T. Oxley Equestrian Center at Cornell with 14 rider-horse combinations and 24 rides. Saw a variety of different
levels of riding skills, starting from Intro division up to Third Level. There was a chance to see many types of
horses (breeds, colors, and such); and riders traveled from Hammondsport, Newfield, Trumansburg, Moravia,
Elmira-Corning area, Ithaca area, Richford, Auburn, and Troy/Athens area- Pa to perform.
Many thanks to the judge, Valerie Knight, “R” judge (from Walworth, NY) who gave such encouraging
remarks that most of the riders were able to show improvement on their second ride (and due to the lower number
of rides that had been anticipated, we were able to turn this casual show into a ride-a-test so that the judge was able
to critique us verbally). The show could not have run efficiently without the scribe (Bethann Beckhorn), the scorer
(Diane Moose), and the ring steward (Julia Zuckerman). My ring set-up was completed by Ginny Grove and her
crew at the equestrian center as they now have a permanent outside riding arena, and due to the lovely weather we
were blessed with….could compete outdoors. Ginny Grove also did a wonderful job of maintaining and grooming
the outdoor arena. My runners were Jane Marshall and anyone willing to help out; Dinah Guarino was the ultimate
in managers as she got the whole process going in producing this show!!!
The outcome was successful due to the positive remarks from Valerie Knight, the performance of the
riders and horses themselves, and all the volunteers and spectators; please see the results for any particulars.
Please note on the show results that our very own Ginny Grove was High point champion on Brio with a score of
75.32 in First Level Test 3; and Pennsylvania’s Pamela Harper was Reserve High Point Champion on Nesquick
with a score of 74.20 in Training Level Test 3. Kudos to them both!!!
Thank you to all (and if I missed any one, please forgive the omission); and I do need to again
mention that Ginny Grove of the J.T. Oxley Equestrian Center bent over backwards to accommodate the needs
of the dressage show, especially providing stalls for all those who requested one—which made my life so much easier and gave this show an opportunity to exist.
THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!!!
