Announcement: Renew Your Membership A new competition year began in November. You probably have already renewed your memberships to US Equestrian, USDF, and USEA. It’s also time to renew your ESDCTA membership. Please go to: www.ESDCTA.org. It’s easy and can be done online. If you are not a member at the time you show, those scores will not count towards year-end awards or for qualifying for Championships. We are always looking for people to help with shows. Not only will you receive volunteer hours for year-end awards, but we feed you and provide gas money. It’s also great way to learn more about what you can do to help yourself when it’s your turn enter the ring. Plus, you’ll meet a whole new crew of horsey friends! We need volunteers for both dressage and eventing shows throughout the year. Please contact dressage@esdcta.com (dressage) or janmpel@msn.com (eventing) for more information. No experience necessary. 2

President’s Message During the spring time, ESDCTA and LVDA co-hosted a USDF “L Program Part 1” which consisted of 3 separate weekends of dressage judging education. To say that I was amazed by the number of auditors at each session would be an understatement, and I was also amazed at the number of volunteers (demo riders included) that came out for this program. We had more than 90 people at each of the 3 sessions that comprise Part 1. For reference: based on other programs’ numbers when we did the budget, we thought we would have 21 participants and 15 auditors at each session. We had 26 participants at every session and over 50 auditors each session! So…save the dates. We have a Trainer Symposium coming up April 6 and 7, 2019, with Lilo Fore! Kem Barbosa and Willette Brown are the organizers. More detailed information will be coming soon. We are very happy to be able to present this to our members and the dressage community at large. LVDA and ESDCTA are also working on organizing an L Program Part 2, where the participants will be tested to become L Graduates. And we are going to team up for an educational program about the new dressage tests coming out in 2019. For our first open cross-country schooling at the Horse Park of New Jersey on June 10, we helped riders contact trainers for assistance with their schooling, and that proved to be very helpful for the riders. We are working on streamlining the process. Our Memorial Day Weekend Show was a success. The new footing in the Grand Prix ring dried out quickly, and we were able to use the upper two rings for most of the weekend. I was also honored to present Barbara Ebner with her Lifetime Achievement award during the show. You can read about her history with the ESDCTA in the article in this newsletter. Good Luck to our Junior Riders at Dressage for Kids and at the Millbrook Horse Trials. Hope to see you all soon!

Well Deserved By Nina Engelhardt
Two ESCDTA members were the recipients of volunteer awards this year for their outstanding service to the association and by extension, riders and their horses throughout the eastern states. Barbara Ebner, recipient of the2017 Lifetime Achievement award, was on her way to judge a show in Chicago when ESCDTA caught up with this active competitor and trainer, owner of Touch of Class farm, S judge and longstanding member of ESCDTA. This award is bestowed on a member who has exhibited “an extended period of service toward the advancement of equine sports through his/her involvement in local and national equestrian organizations.” Barbara put what this award means best, “I was so flattered to receive this award! If it weren’t for ESCDTA, I would have never met and trained with some of the eventing and dressage luminaries of our time.”
Barbara Ebner receiving her award
It was back in 1975 when Barbara bought a piece of barren land in eastern NJ and built Touch of Class farm, in Howell, NJ. “At the time I was breeding
Arabians and had one purebred that I very much wanted to event. All I wanted to do was gallop across fields and jump, but first I learned dressage.” Barbara trained with Major Dezso Szilagyi, a Hungarian Cavalry officer trained in the Hungarian riding school in classical dressage and author of “Basic Classical Dressage.” “I would have never met him if it weren’t for ESCDTA. I started out as a Board member when Edith Master (herself a Perpetual Award trophy recipient in 1978) was President of ESCDTA. ESCDTA introduced me to Bruce Davidson, a medalist in the ‘72, ‘76, ‘84 and ’96 8

Olympic Games, who really got me started in this sport.” Ebner is an accomplished dressage competitor who has risen through to FEI Intermediare II level (silver medal). Each horse holds a special place in her heart, including her little chestnut American Sporthorse western broke, who has gone on to be USDF Champion through 3rd level. Jean Goeltz accepted the Good Sportsmanship Award for exhibiting “selflessness and helpfulness toward others within the ESDCTA community.” Jean is responsible for entering the show results that are published in each issue of the newsletter. “I have been doing this for 30 years. When I started, there were only 1 or 2 shows to record. Now, we are dealing with maybe 100 show entries! About 10 years ago Terry Masters asked Jean to identify qualifying scores for the dressage championships. Jean sends out postcards to these riders alerting them of their status. Jean has ridden many disciplines from western to hunt seat and finally settled into dressage, which she calls the “hall of mirrors” because “you never get to the end!” She is grateful to the talented trainers she has worked with, including Ana Maria Espinosa from Olympia Farms, in Farmingdale. Jean has also co-chaired the Year End Awards committee, as well as the Perpetual Awards committee, and still finds time to volunteer at shows. “I have had the pleasure to have known so many wonderful people through this organization. “ Jean is a strong advocate for volunteerism. “Everybody should do whatever they can do. Not everyone can be head of a committee, but everybody should do something. In order to keep this organization healthy, it is vital to bring in young people.” Jean would like to thank the ESDCTA Board for awarding her the Sportsmanship Trophy. ESCDTA thanks Barbara and Jean for their years of service to the organization.

Unexpected Breaks…New Opportunities By Paige Zimmerman
What do you do while your horse is recovering from an injury, has discomfort causing lameness, or needs time off after a medical treatment? It happens to every rider and every horse at some point. We start to get ready for show season or make big improvements in our riding, and unexpectedly our horse needs time off. Luckily, there are plenty of productive activities we can do out of the saddle that are helpful to our equestrian community and to our fellow horse people while we wait for our horses to recover. 1. Volunteer. Show managers and secretaries are constantly looking for volunteers. I personally find it very exciting and interesting to scribe or run at shows because I can watch the rides and see what the judges are looking for. Being a scorer also is an educational position because if you can manage to both watch the test and score it, you can learn a lot about how judging works. 2. Help around your stable. Sweep, clean tack, feed rooms, and wash stalls, dust or de-cobweb, clean window ledges - it all needs to get done at some point, and by hanging out at the barn more you’ll learn about how a successful barn operates. Also, as summer begins, many people go on vacation. If you are staying behind while people around you are going away, you can offer to watch their horses for them (grooming, daily health checks, baths, etc.). It is a good opportunity to make some extra money, get to know new people and horses, and establish a reputation for being a reliable and thoughtful horse person. 3. Help others when they go to out to show. Everyone likes a personal cheering section. I enjoy offering to bathe horses and braid for people who are showing and/ or going to the show as a groom and general handler for the entire group. It is great practice in horsemanship and organization skills. Cleaning tack for others in preparation for a show is also a task everyone appreciates. And, it simply is nice to be a part of the show scene even if I’m not riding. 4. Participate in a contest. While waiting for a horse I ride to feel better from an abscess recently, I submitted a drawing to the Youth Dressage Festival Cover Art Contest (see next page ). I don’t know if it won yet, but it was fun thinking about the festival and how to portray it through art, which I love.

When our horses need some time off, there are so many things that we can do to improve our horsemanship skills and help our equestrian communities. Though, I have to admit, it can be frustrating to be “grounded�, I find that it is important to stay involved and busy and keep my goals in mind. In this sport, there will always be challenges to overcome. That is the one thing we can all expect!

Another Fun Day of Learning at the L Program By Heidi Lemack
On June 2nd and 3rd, the “C” session of the L program was held at the USET Headquarters at historic Hamilton Farm in Gladstone, NJ. The topics for this session were “Collective Marks and Musical Freestyles” and the faculty were Joan Darnell and Lisa Schmidt. This was the third and final session of Part 1 of the L Program, which had 50 auditors for the weekend along with our 20 “L” Participants. Saturday was an all-day classroom session and Sunday was spent judging and discussing “live” tests. Each test, Training level test-1 through Second level test 3, was performed and then judged. The participants and auditors were presented with a diverse group of talented horses and riders to discuss. We thank all of the demo riders: Erika Olijslager, Caitlin Allen, Holly Cornell (ESDCTA Vice-President), Tara Astacio, Mo Swanson, Tori Belles, Brianna Warner, Wendy Tara Astacio and Money to Burn 12

We also had a great group of volunteers working in the background to help make the “C” Session run so smoothly: Jacqueline Greener, Terence Wetzel, Andrea Duckworth, Lauren Budden, Lisa DeMaria, Krysia Alt, Eliza Banks, and Julia Peterson. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy lives to further dressage education in our area. Thank you to our sponsors, Trinity Dressage and Mrs. Pastures cookies! The demo riders loved the bridle numbers and the demo horses loved the cookies! Victoria Shilton, ESDCTA Education Chair and Chris Dickenson, LVDA Vice-President, ran each of the Part 1 sessions together. They did an outstanding job organizing and managing so that the large numbers of auditors and participants were well cared for and could absorb all of the knowledge the instructors shared. They also made sure the instructor for each session did not have to worry about anything and could give their all to educating the attendees. They spent countless hours preparing and thinking of ways to make the L Program a success. ESDCTA and LVDA are now starting to work on organizing a much-needed Part 2 of the L Program. Part 2 is for participants only and includes the testing to become an “L Graduate.” Be on the lookout for more information at the end of this year.

Memorial Day Dressage Show Experience Part 1 By Erin Gale
Hi Everyone! Let me introduce myself. I am not only your ESDCTA Marketing chairperson but also an avid USDF Adult Amateur. My current horse is a 10-yearold thoroughbred gelding, affectionally known as Clifford (and for the always curious minds, no he is not big or red like the dog, but instead white and somewhat small! Ha!) Clifford and I are currently showing Training level with the hope of making our First level debut by the end of this season. Aside from our first level debut goal this year, I had my mind set on wanting to try something different and new for Clifford and me, so this past May at our ESDCTA Memorial Day Weekend show, Clifford and I took a leap and entered in the Adult Amateur In-Hand class. This would be our first time showing on the triangle and it could not have been a better experiMeredith and I waiting our turn ence! I was hoping that I could channel my child hood days of doing halter and showmanship at Quarter Horse breed shows, but I will be the first to say showing in hand at a USDF/DSBH class is VERY different. But, after lots of research and consulting with my fellow ESDCTA marketing/newsletter friend, Meredith Rogers (see Memorial Day Dressage Show Experience Part 2), I felt like I was pretty well prepared. The weather for the Saturday show day was perfect! There was a great turn out and the New Jersey Horse Park always makes for a nice show setting. Clifford settled in nicely and we got to work on practicing before our class. The Adult Amateur InHand class is open to any breed horse. This is a wonderful opportunity for thoroughbreds or other dressage horses to show in hand without having a specific breed class offered. The class is also judged heavily on the handler themselves, focusing on It’s not easy keeping things like neatness of attire and showing an understanding of Clifford this white how to best present your horse. Gaits, confirmation, and general impression are also considerations. When it was our turn to go, we went in and setup before the judge. After inspection, we walked the 15-meter triangle, followed by trotting the 30-meter triangle. You don’t COLLECTIVE REMARKS

really realize how big 30 meters is until you have to run alongside your horse in deeper footing! And from our pre-show practicing, I learned that even if you THINK you are running fast, you need to go faster and have the horse move out the best you can. After the trot, we setup again for the final inspection from the judge.
Off we went
After a successful class, the results were in and Clifford and I finished with a 70.0%. I felt proud that my little thoroughbred came out with a respectable score and that we appeared to kind of know what we were doing. The Adult Amateur In-Hand class is a wonderful opportunity for any amateur that is interested in getting their feet wet with showing in hand. It is also great for a variety of breeds to compete and show off their versatility. These In-Hand classes are held only at USDF/DSHB shows, and the Adult Amateur class is becoming more popular. I am looking forward to competing in it again and encourage my fellow adult amateur riders to look in to it if they’re looking for something a little different to do with their horse. Success!
The Ice Cream Social at the Memorial Day Show was so much fun. Go Youth members! 16

Memorial Day Dressage Show Experience Part 2 By Meredith Rogers
I made a crazy decision last year and bought an unbroke coming 3-year-old. The first 6 months were spent turning this feral beastie into a horse who didn’t run me over while leading, didn’t try to kill me when I gave him a bath, let people sweep the aisle in front of him, and perhaps most importantly, got comfortable living in a stall. As summer was coming to a close, my trainer and I thought he might be bored, so it was time to become broke to saddle. In addition to working with him on ground manners, I had also introduced him to lunging, put a saddle and bridle on him, and showed him lots of scary things. But then I turned him over to my trainer and my job was basically relegated to groom – I tacked and untacked, and on occasion, got on to cool him out. Come winter, my trainer escaped to Florida, leaving “Leo” and I to our own devices. I was in no way qualified to ride a barely broke baby horse, so we spent our days grooming and hand-walking around the property on nice days (and you know how few of those we had). We were both bored and I didn’t think we had really developed a connection with each other. That’s when I had the idea to train for the in-hand breed classes. It would give us a goal, and I was hoping it would help us bond. With instruction from someone who knows about how to do this, I spent the winter learning to work the triangle, and continued to practice even as Leo’s under saddle training resumed upon my trainer’s return. A kind stranger from an on-line bulletin board provided some great advice and about two months before the Memorial Day show, she invited us to participate in a hunter-in-hand clinic/fun show at a local farm. Although not quite the same as dressage-in-hand, this opportunity served as Leo’s first outing away from home and I was able to learn a lot about how he reacts in strange places (and I made new friends in real life). As the Memorial Day show neared closer, I practiced more, and watched as many on-line videos of the winners from Dressage at Devon as I could find. All went according to plan in getting ready to leave for the show. He was a little in shock when we got there and I threw him in a very open stall with horses he could see all around and then left to sign in. He got used to it – sort of. When I returned, he seemed happy to see me, which was the whole purpose of this adventure. My friend, Kelly, who has been with me since the beginning of this journey was here to help, and I had a great cheering section from my barn come to watch. I felt confident as we made our way up to the ring for our first class – Amateur Handler. Unfortunately, I wasn’t paying close enough attention to those videos. Although Leo wouldn’t stand still for the initial inspection, he didn’t put a hoof wrong for the walk and trot COLLECTIVE REMARKS

triangles. Me, on the other hand, messed up and had both hands on the reins, which is a no-no. I had read the USEF rulebook and no where did it say anything about this, but the judge slammed us and we didn’t do very well. In between my first and second class, my trainer rode Leo in the Materiale. He was high as a kite but her tactful riding calmed him down and he ended up winning his class! She also took the opportunity to school him after the class in the crazy warm-up ring, and he was very well behaved. Then I got him back. I made sure not to repeat the same mistakes from the first goround in our second class – KWPN. But, by then he and I were both exhausted; not only had it been a long day, but it was over 90°F. We both tried our best but had no oomph. It was still good enough for a 72.5 and second place. Overall, the day was a success in many ways. Leo had a good experience. I did something I’ve never done before and learned a lot. And, at the end of it all, I think our bond grew.
A Successful Day!

The Amateur Dilemma By, Meredith Rogers
Recognized shows/events or schooling shows/ events? That’s the question. There are pros and cons to each. Thankfully, we live in an area of the country where we have numerous options for each type of show/event within easy driving distance on any given weekend. Nevertheless, this is a question I ponder every year, and most of it comes down to my goals. My personal opinion is that unless you’re going for national awards (or regional/national championships), there’s no reason to spend the big bucks on recognized shows, and they are big bucks. A recognized show can run $200 or more for the classes and fees, and that’s not even including a stall, whereas a schooling show is only $50-$60 Recognized or schooling? I can’t plus the price of gas. An argument for going to remember, but one of my favorite recognized shows is that the judging is better, venues. but I’ve seen such disparities in my own scores between judges that I’m not convinced this is a reason for avoiding schooling shows. I’ve gotten some good help from judges at schooling shows, many of whom are trainers, and since it is usually a more relaxed atmosphere, they have been able to talk to me about the ride after my final salute. Also, having a friend take a video of my test gives me way more feedback than any score sheet, and I can get that regardless of the type of show – just need a friend with a cell phone. Then there’s the issue of footing and how smaller venues don’t have as good of footing as larger ones. However, many farms have descent footing and you learn pretty quickly which farms to avoid; since our area has so many shows, it’s easy to find another one to go to that has acceptable footing. Of course, sometimes you need to follow your trainer, and then you go to whatever type of shows she’s going to. ESDCTA is great in that they offer year end awards for schooling show accomplishments, as well as a Championship show. If awards are your thing, these are much more attainable to the average amateur on an average horse, and the trophies are no less pretty on the mantle. Whatever type of show/event you head off to this year, may all your halts be 10s and all your jumping rounds be clear!

What is Balanced Seat Riding? By, Earlen Haven Country Haven Woodstown, NJ
Is it a dressage seat, hunter seat, jumper seat, steeplechase or jockey position????? It actually is all of those, if ridden to the standards of each discipline. What makes a riding position “balanced” is the fact that the rider can stay in the position without holding on to something for support…. the rider is then balanced over their feet. If you start with a dressage position with the ear, shoulder, hip and heel in a vertical line to the ground with a longer stirrup length and very little bend to the knee, you will find that you can stand in that position without holding on to anything (as opposed to the “chair seat” position with the hips well behind the feet, appearing to be sitting in a chair, as opposed to standing over one’s feet). As the stirrup length shortens for the hunt seat position, to stay in balance, one must squat down more, causing the rider’s hips to be a bit behind theoriginal vertical line andthe rider’s shoulders to bein front of the vertical lineto the ground. If you triedto keep your shoulders directly above your hips as for the dressage seat, you would fall backward. The same standard follows for the jump seat position which has a slightly shorter stirrup than the hunt seat, and for the steeplechase position as well as the jockey position… each has a bit shorter stirrup. Each time the stirrup shortens, the rider should close the angles of their hip, knees and ankles a bit more so they can stay in balance. Practicing whilestanding on the ground will give you a feeling for the balance of each stirruplength. When you squat down (to assume a shorter stirrup length), your bodywill tend to adjust to the balanced position by automatically bending your joints more at the hip, knee and ankle. The chair seat position is incorrect because the rider is behind the horse’s motion and usually causes the rider to balance on the reins (much to the horse’s dismay); This is not balanced. Imagine someone could grab your horse by the tail and pull the horse out from under you. You would land on your fanny, not your feet…..much the same as if someone pulled a chair out from under you when you were sitting down. Again, you would land on your fanny. A balanced position is required for the rider to remain independent from the reins, meaning that the rider does not have to hold onto the reins to support or balance himself. Only then will the rider be able to follow the horse’s motion with his reins as the horse works. The canter and the walk have a fair amount of neck motion, while the trot has a bit steadier head position. A rider cannot truly follow the horse’s motion with the reins until the rider’s body is balanced and independent from their hands. So give your horses a break and work on your balance. Try some arm exercises on a lunge with no reins. Can you stay steady and balanced while your horse walks, trots, canters and jumps? If not, keep working until you can. It will come! Give it a try. If you have any questions, you may contact Earlen Haven at: Earlen@countryhavenfarms.com, and I’ll try to answer them for you. COLLECTIVE REMARKS

COLLECTIVE REMARKS
News from Outside the Ring New Jersey and Horses…Perfect Together Fun fact of the day: there is one horse (or pony) for every 323 people in New Jersey. According to the semi-regular horse census conducted by the US Department of Agriculture, there are 27,658 horses in New Jersey, which translates into almost 4 horses per square mile. The last census was taken in 2012 and the 2017 census is currently being compiled. It will be interesting to see if these numbers have significantly increased or decreased over the past 5 years. And, we missed it, June was the Month of the Horse in New Jersey as declared by Governor Philip Murphy. Changing of the Guard Robert Dover is out and Debbie McDonald is in as the Technical Advisor/Chef d’Equipe of United States dressage. Debbie needs no introduction. Riding the famous mare, Brentina, she helped the US win team bronze in the 2004 Olympics, and in 2003, she was the first American to win an FEI World Cup Dressage Final. Debbie has been the USEF Developing Dressage Coach since 2013, and she currently serves as the personal coach to many of the team horses currently competing in Europe. Robert Dover is also no slouch, having been a part of the US team who won team bronze at the 1984 Olympics. He has served faithfully as the Technical Advisor/Chef d’Equipe since 2013, and we look forward to seeing what he does next.
