The Whole in the Part By Susan Downs Parrish, Ph.D.
Christoph Hess, an FEI “I” judge and former director of dressage training for the German National Federation, uses a remarkable pattern in a video on DressageClinic.com. He aims to help a woman perfecting tempi changes of lead. The pattern is six serpentine loops with a tenmeter circle inserted at the point at which each loop touches the long side of the arena. Upon crossing the centerline, a change of lead. A taxing exercise for horse and rider. I have been working on this set of movements for several months, and am noticing positive results. Jonas Irbinskas introduced me to using patterns. I was fourteen and didn’t understand the wisdom of his instruction, but he challenged me, and I loved it. My next instructor was Charles de Kunffy, and the importance of a series of planned maneuvers began to sink in. Gerd Zuther followed Charles and added many such plans to my repertoire. I never heard Jonas talk about the German Training Scale, but I’m sure he was steeped in the system. Charles and Gerd invoked the Scale in every lesson. Recently, I’ve been reading The Internet of Us: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data, by Michael P. Lynch. Lynch writes about what Googling can and can’t do for us. He distinguishes between citing facts and understanding . He discusses the idea of the whole in the part. I could try to explain this theory of how wholes and parts relate by using the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. Sure I could; however, let me cite the first four lines of The Auguries of Innocence, by William Blake instead.
To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour
Blake is referring to the whole in the part. Continued on Page 5

The Whole in the Part (cont) The entire poem is worth reading. Powerful images will linger in your mind.
Photo by Marilyn Sheldon - Blue Moon Photography
Lynch never mentions horses, Blake writes of horses, but not the Training Scale, and still, the notion of the sixloop pattern as a part reflecting the system we call the Training Scale settled in my head. You’re right. I’m hopeless. I never stop thinking about riding. Consider all the elements of this pattern. Rhythm and Losgelassenheit are, of course, prerequisite to every aspect in the string of moves, and harmony between horse and rider is fundamental. To coordinate the application of the aids—correct Contact—the rider must feel every stride in his hands, seat, and legs. Each failure in Contact will be reflected in a loss of durchlassigheit (throughness). Flaws in throughness will show up in every change of direction, every transition from a curved to a straight line, and vice versa, and in each lead change. Collection is required throughout. The better the Collection, the easier it is to adjust the forehand relative to the hindquarters, thus furthering the goal of Straightness. If Collection and Straightness are achieved, Schwung is the reward. Hess doesn’t present this pattern as complex, but experience has taught him how demanding the execution is. He recognizes that the whole Training Scale is represented. Mastery of this magnificent part requires upper level skills in the horse and rider. Not quite ready to perform this gem at a canter? Try a trot. The challenge diminishes slightly, but all six stages of the Training scale remain. The measure of a worthwhile pattern is the feedback the rider receives. Rather than working on the entire string, break the sequence down and master the pieces. In dressage, progress is incremental.

REGION 5 DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE I hope everyone is having a great summer! It’s often been a bit hotter then I like so far this summer, but for the 2nd year in a row we have had some great rain this spring and early summer! This summer’s project for me has been redoing the footing in my indoor arena. My husband and I decided to do it ourselves and also to build kickboards and make some fun modifications to the arena. I’ve really enjoyed the project and definitely had fun doing lots of research and improving my knowledge in the footing area and the construction of a good base. Several important DEADLINES are coming up: • USDF National and Regional GMO volunteer nominations, as well as GMO award nominations, are due to the USDF office by August 31. • GMOs can submit nominations for Newsletter Awards, Website Awards, and Photography Awards. Don’t forget that all nominations are due to the USDF office by August 31. No more submitting hard-copy nominations! See the nomination forms for detailed information. • Regional GMO Volunteer of the Year nominations can be submitted by any participating member, group member or the Region Director. • Volunteer of the Year and Youth Volunteer of the Year nominations can also be submitted by any participating member, group member or the Regional Director. • One deserving group member will receive the Ruth Arvanette Memorial Fund Grant to attend the 2016 Adequan/USDF Annual Convention in St Louis, Missouri. The grant includes full convention registration and partial reimbursement for travel expenses. Applications due by August 31 • GMOs must return their GMO Delegate/Proxy Authorization form to the USDF office to appoint representation to the Board of Governors meeting at the USDF Annual Convention November 30 – December 3, 2016 in St. Louis, MO.

Barn Tip: For Fantastic Photos! =======> The August Barn Tip comes from Lauren Blaha, equine photographer. Here are four tips from Lauren. 1. To achieve this look, stand the horse halfway out of the doorway to a barn aisle (or somewhere near the threshold – make sure he is completely in the shade!). Turn off the barn lights and close the far door so the background naturally fades to black. 2. Try to shoot in the early morning or late afternoon and make sure the horse is completely in the shadow of the barn. This will avoid harsh overhead light and unattractive shadows. 3. Straight on is typically not the most attractive pose for a horse. Try to get their neck arched and bent slightly sideways and their face on a little of an angle. 4. Get those ears up! I have an assistant toss sand, crinkle peppermint wrappers, shake grain in a bucket, and play recordings of whinnies on my phone. (I have also seen photographers slowly lift up a large bathroom mirror off the ground until the horse sees himself.

Nuggets Does your trainer or clinician or fellow rider have some quotes or pearls of wisdom that he or she states that crystallize a concept for your riding? If so, please email them to centerline@azdressage.org and they will be considered for publication.
”On paying attention to the details: How many people actually practice the walk? They think it’s time to sit there and text. It’s a times-two (coefficient). You want to have your horse really marching. You want the feeling that they’re taking you forward.”

Northern Arizona Chapter Arizona Dressage Association 2016 Schooling Show Rules These Schooling Shows are put on by Northern Arizona Chapter of Arizona Dressage Association (NAC of ADA) for the benefit of its members and the community. Show policies are set by NAC of ADA and are subject to the Show Management’s discretion. The Show Management reserves the right to call for the removal from the show grounds of any horse or rider that jeopardizes the safety of any horse, rider, spectator or other attending party, or of any horse deemed unmanageable and/or a danger to itself or others. Junior/Young Riders, Adult Amateurs, Open Riders & Vintage Riders (50+) … in Intro / Training / Basic Level / IJA Gaited, through FEI… will qualify for the ‘High Point’ Year End Championship Awards. Rider must ride a minimum of two (2) NAC of ADA Schooling Shows at same level with same horse in front of two (2) different judges. NAC of ADA will average Rider’s two (2) highest scores to qualify for the 2016 ‘High Point’ Year End Championship Awards. Awards will be distributed at last show of season on October 2, 2016 at the NAC of ADA ‘High Point’ Year End Championship Schooling Show. No qualifying scores are required. No minimum number of Riders required to qualify for ‘High Point’ Year End Championship Award Divisions. See www.nacofada.com for 2016 ‘High Point’ Year End Championship Awards Program and Class List. US Equestrian Dressage Division Regulations are followed with the exception of dress requirements. Exceptions are: Jackets are not required. If a jacket is not worn, a short or long sleeve shirt with a collar is required; stock tie or choker is optional; tall boots or paddock boots, with or without chaps, are required. Effective March 1, 2011, for dressage: Anyone mounted on a horse must wear protective headgear except those riders age 18 and over while on horses that are competing only in FEI levels and tests at the Prix St. Georges level and above (including FEI Young Rider Tests, the USEF Developing Prix St. Georges Test and the USEF Brentina Cup Test). Protective headgear is defined as a riding helmet which meets or exceeds ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)/SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) standards for equestrian use and carries the SEI tag. The headgear and harness must be secured and properly fitted. Any rider violating this rule at any time must immediately be prohibited from further riding until such headgear is properly in place. This includes non-competing riders as well as those competing at any level.
Riders are advised that equipment may be checked, including whip length and bits. No entry fees will be refunded unless cancellations are received by the closing date for that show. At management’s discretion, if a horse/rider combination is scratched due to severe lameness, illness or other serious reason after the closing date, the entry fee may be held over to the next show. If not used at the next show, the entry fee will be dead and not refunded. If a show is “oversubscribed”, all riders will be included based on entry post mark date, up to closing date. If there are over entries, priority will be given to ADA members.
I have read the NAC of ADA Schooling Show Rules and accept and agree to abide by them.

We can always use your help at our shows and clinics! If you’re vying for Year End Awards, a 4-hour minimum of volunteer service is required for eligibility. You have LOTs of ways you can be of service to your organization ... even including surrogate service from friends and family! Our full Volunteer Policy can be found on our website at: http://azdressage.org/volunteer/
We'd love your thoughts on the current volunteer system What makes your volunteer efforts worthwhile to you? --recognition, a show T-shirt, a volunteer raffle? Are you looking for alternate ways to help the ADA because your schedule makes volunteering at shows difficult? The ADA is in the midst of another big year, with more volunteers needed than ever, and we want to make that effort rewarding for us all. We would love to get input on what, if any, changes would make volunteering more rewarding for you. Knowing that our membership's time is more precious than ever, please consider taking a moment to send in your comments or questions if you haven't already to let us know how, when, and why you volunteer so that we can devise a suitable volunteer recognition/rewards program. Feel free to email Kathy Smith at ksmith@azdressage.org and give us your opinion! Thanks so much!
