With friends Jean & Michael in Ocala

This past month has been exciting, educational and fun. On March 19th I left for Hernando, MS 

 

where I was scheduled to teach a USD

 

 

 

clinic for adults. Clifton Farms/Midsouth Dressage Academy owned by Elizabeth Rice turned out to be an absolutely beautiful facility with everything under one roof. Two dressage arena’s next to each other, lots of stabling, accommodations for a lot of riders and a very nice lounge. I had a great time teaching a very enthusiastic group of riders and auditors. I am really enjoying this format and the interaction with the auditors. At most of these clinics the riders and my self stay on the facility, so we really get to know each other and it makes for a very comfortable relationship in the lessons. I was there until Monday March 22nd. 

On March 25 my husband and I left for Ocala, Fl where we stayed with very close friends Jean and Michael Morris. They have been friends for over 20 years and Jean a student when she lived in Ca. They have a beautiful farm in Ocala with a couple of horses. Each morning I helped Jean with her very nice horse Pelino as well as a few other riders who came to her farm. I also went to Mary Alice Malone’s beautiful Iron Springs Farm. I helped her with her two very nice and talented Frisian breeding stallions. While we where there my husband Joel played some polo with friends at the Village’s polo club near Orlando. His team won. One day we went to see the USEF National Championship for four in hand driving. What a thrill that was. We got to see Chester Weber win. It was a perfect trip with a mix of work, good friends and a lot of fun. We were there for 5 days.  April 1st. I judged at Los Angeles Equestrian Center and April

2-3rd I took part in a judges Forum. Jane Weaterwax did a great job as our teacher with help from my friend Lilo Fore. Stephen Clarke was there judging the CDI as part of the show and had a book signing for his beautiful book “Dressage Dreams”. A perfect gift for your dressage friends.

April 9th I left for Minneapolis for my next USDF clinic. It was held  

at Leatherdale Equine Center at the University of Minnesota. This was also a very nice facility with everything under one roof and a heated arena. Friday afternoon I watched all the riders in groups just to get an idea of their levels. After wards Lloyd Landkamer (organizer of WEG dressage) invited all the riders for a great dinner. He is a very good cook. Saturday and Sunday I taught 8 riders a day and had a lot of good interaction with the auditors.  

April 15-16 I taught a clinic in Phoenix. This is a regular clinic with a very good group of riders. Cyndi Jackson is the trainer and it is a lot of fun teaching her on her very talented horse Strauss. She is doing very well at the CDI’s in the PSG and Int. 1 and hopefully will make it to Gladstone. I also teach her students on a regular basis and they are all nice riders on very suitable horses. It is very rewarding to see the progress they make from clinic to clinic.  

April 18 I left for Lexington, Ky. I was supposed to go for a few days to watch the test event for WEG. As it turned out Stephen Clarke who was one of the judges for the event was stuck in London, because of the volcano, so I ended up judging instead. April 19th I 

spent most of the day with Australian (0) judge Mary Seefried. She had gotten there a day early. We drove around the Kentucky Horse Park most of the day. The new stadium is very impressive and the park is just beautiful. Aside from hosting the test event for WEG it was also the week of the well known Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event. In the afternoon we watched the jog for the dressage horses. All in all 28 Grand Prix horses from all over the East Coast and Canada. At this point Linda Zang, Janet Foy and Joan McCartney had arrived. All 5 of us were judging and Linda was president of the Ground Jury as she will be at the World Games.

Tuesday was the Grand Prix and it went most of the day. The discussion among the judges at dinner time is one of the best and most educational parts of being a FEI judge. I love hearing everybody’s point of view, especially since we all respect each others opinion. I am always learning more. Wednesday was the GP Special and we had some good and very close rides, making it hard to separate out the top placing’s. Mikala Gundersen and Bonny Bonnello were a very close first and second.  In the evening Lloyd Landkamer (dressage organizer) and Gil Merrick (former director of dressage) organized  a birthday dinner for Janet Foy (her birthday April 26 ) and myself (birthday that day) with cake and candles etc. at a very nice restaurant.

On Thursday April 22nd we went to watch the

dressage part of the

Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event in the morning. At noon Janet Foy and I went to a meeting at the USEF headquarters for the High Performance Committee. Anne Gribbons, Eva Solomon, Jenny Van Wieren and Kathy Connelly were also there. After the meeting we went for a late lunch watching the end of the dressage phase for Rolex. In the evening we were back to judge the GP Freestyles. We all had Tina Konyot as the clear winner and Chris Von Martels as runner up. It was an exciting evening with a great crowd. For the entire show I was fortunate to have Maureen Van Tuyl ( all the way from California)  as my scribe and Noah Rattner (all the way from Oregon) as my e-scribe. They are the absolute best and it made my life as a judge so much easier.  Friday morning I went to the airport and the first person I ran into was Robert Dover. It turned out we were leaving out of the same gate and spent an hour getting caught up. Robert is Chef for the Canadian riders and doing a great job. All in all Lexington was a great experience and I highly recommend going to the WEG.  

Friday April 23 I arrived home and started to ride my horses  again. I think they have forgotten what I look like. My next USDF clinic is at Scott Hassler’s in Chesapeake City in MD May 8-9th.
