rider bio What was it like competing at US this year? This year, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to compete with my horse, at U.S Nationals. This definitely was the ultimate horse show experience. US Nationals was really, everything I imagined it would be. The quality of horses, trainers and other competitors was truly top notch. It was very exciting to be a part of this experience. I found the staff and other competitors to be friendly, and helpful. Riders are competing at the highest level, they are there to show their horse to the best of their ability. Everything counts! I was impressed by the sense of team spirit, and the attitude, we are here to have a good time! I found the classes extremely entertaining, and exciting to watch. The classes were large, and the horses amazing. The park class will be a class that I will always remember. There were 19, incredible show horses in the ring that put out 100%. The excitement in the stands was crazy! The crowd was wild, and the riders put on a powerful show. I had a great time with my barn friends, and made many new friends as well. I hope to do it again in 2016! What was the most memorable moment of 2015? I have many wonderful memories, from this show year. A couple of memorable moments that will be with me forever. The magical moment of showing my horse, the first day, first class, first rider to enter the US National ring. I have practised fourteen years for that special moment! It was so much fun! Another memorable moments for me, was attending my first Regionals with my new horse High & Teit (Gus). Region #1 Delmar California, I was awarded Unanimous Reserve Champion. I will never forget how proud I was of my horse that day. What is your favorite horse show to compete at? I honestly love competing, and going to all of the horse shows. So far my favorite horse show to compete at is US Nationals. 11

Where do you want to show that you haven’t yet? I’ve heard competitors, trainers, and friends talk about the Buckeye Show, held in Columbus, OH, Region 14. I understand the competition is tough, and apparently it’s a lot of fun. This is a show I would like to attend in the future. What can you tell local riders about the experience of competing in different areas and how has it made you a better rider. This has been an extremely rewarding, and memorable show year for me. I have had the opportunity to show at new Regions, and travel to new places. It’s a good thing Brenda likes to travel, and believes in Gus and I. Our first show this year, was in Temecula California. To qualify for Region #1, in Delmar California. The red carpet was rolled out for us Canadians, and we were treated like royalty. This was a fun show, and the people were awesome. From there we headed to Delmar California, for the Regional classes. Again, we were treated like royalty, and the venue was amazing! Having the opportunity to ride with some of the top competitors in North America, has been an amazing experience. To compete in a variety of different regions, has provided me with the opportunity to see a lot of different horses, and witness different styles of trainers and riders. This has been a wonderful experience, and helped me learn more about myself, and to continually strive to be the best competitor I can be. I would like to thank my Mom & Dad, Grandparents, Brenda & Team Driediger for believing in me, and all their continued support. Thank you Gus for trusting me, and putting out your best!

judges perspective Hunt Seat Equitation
with
Ashley Lauren
Many of you who compete at a National level will know that since we have introduced Open Hunter Judges to the panels at both Canadian and Youth Nationals that there has been controversy regarding our Equitation Division.
Toye
The reality is; Equitation is Equitation. Whether you are on a big Warmblood Hunter, a Quarter Horse or A good halter horse must both be beautiful and an Arabian, Hunt Seat Equitation requires a good functional. Extreme is not necessarily excellent; a well seat, steady useful leg, flexible elbows and back, and balanced horse is most desired. quiet soft hands. Natural Tail Carriage The Open Hunter Judges are more familiar with seeing certain things such as numbers at the waist and the hair The welfare of the horse is at the top of our judges up under the helmet rather than a bun. My suggestion, priority list. Rules are examined, discussed and restudy up on the universal Equitation standard and visited year after year to maintain integrity within the contact AHA for a useful video on basic position.

What Would You Love? The other day I noticed I was thinking some thoughts that were not in alignment with the teachings I have been studying recently. I got to thinking about how we view certain things pertaining to our preferences and whether or not we feel justified in those preferences, or even if we feel others are justified in their preferences. I noticed a young lady eating ice cream at a table and she had her ice cream in one bowl, whip cream in another and hot fudge also in another bowl, all separate. The girl next to me (I was actually working) said, “Oh, she does that all the time. She always asks for hot fudge and whip cream on the side.” At first, I thought, “how ridiculous”, and even scoffed a little with judgement. In my head I was thinking about how people with money, as I refer to them, can be so particular. Then, I had to stop and really think about what I was saying to myself. Why can’t she have her hot fudge and whip cream on the side? Why do I find that ridiculous? Is it really so ridiculous to request for something you love? Maybe she likes being in control of the ratio that she finds most appealing with her dessert. Why is that so wrong? Why do we judge people for being particular? I personally have been teased for being “picky” or particular.
Murray
the things we truly desire, we might find ourselves going into detail about the way we like things. It is not wrong to ask for what you love. So, why do we see someone eating ice cream with everything on the side, taking small dips into each for every bite, and chuckle in our heads a little with judgement? At least, this is what I was asking myself. I know I’m not the only one who has had these thoughts. So basically, my point is here is that we shouldn’t be afraid to really think about and ask for what we desire. Even when it comes to something as minor as food. Ask yourself what would you love? Don’t be so critical of those who exercise their freedom to ask for what they love as well. There is no shame in seeking what we desire, no matter how small of a matter. I don’t mean to go all out diva and just demand for gold flakes on your steak and diamonds in your champagne, but I hope you understand my point. Don’t limit yourself to what you truly love. Come from the state of which you would love to see yourself in and allow yourself to make it welcome in your life.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this judgement we place on others, specifically in this case the wealthy, is actually crippling our perspective on our own desires. We limit ourselves to what we desire. We have to feel justified or fair or within our realm of reality. If we were to really sit and think about I know. Deep thoughts over a girl eating ice cream.
