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

COLLECTIVE REMARKS
President’s Message Happy New Year! I hope you all had a joyous holiday season. I promised last month to discuss the member survey results. First, let me again thank all who took part in the survey. We emailed the survey to past and present members, as well as people who have participated in our dressage shows, eventing competitions, and educational events. We received a lot of good feedback on our educational offerings, our awards program, dressage and eventing competitions, and our volunteer program. We have responded to some of your education suggestions. This past year, we hosted a new eventing dressage fix-a-test clinic combined with judge training with Marilyn Payne at the Horse Park of NJ. We co-hosted a very successful USDF “L” Program with LVDA, and we hosted a 3-day clinic with 6-time Olympian, Christine Stuckelberger. We also provided people who participated in our cross-country schoolings with a list of trainers that were willing to coach them. Our awards program continues to be strong and evolving. We now have a separate award category for our Para riders. Our dressage shows were all well attended this year, and we are expanding our dressage championship show to be over 2 days, and we will offer an open schooling show, as well as a youth team competition over the same period. Our eventing competitions, schoolings, and the Turkey Trot, were all very successful and well attended. The weather even cooperated for us! Where we struggled this past year (as most organizations did) was with having enough volunteers to staff the activities that our members requested. We are very grateful to the people who did take time out of their busy schedules to pitch in. For those who volunteered, we provided lunch and drinks and $20 in gas money, plus doubled their volunteer hours to show our appreciation. However, in an attempt to improve our volunteer program, we are sending out a survey again (you may already have received it). We are asking for your input on how we can staff our organized events in a way that works for you. Please take the time to respond. In 2019, we have a Training Symposium (like they put on in Florida!) with Lilo Fore April 6 and 7 at the HPNJ. This event is being organized by Kem Barbosa and Willette Brown. The Demo rider applications are up on the website now. Information on attending will be on there by Feb. 1. We are co-hosting with LVDA a new dressage test fix-a-test with Marilyn Payne at the Horse Park of NJ on March 9, which again will have a “You be the Judge” component. And, we have more educational opportunities in the planning stages. We will continue to host our shows, events, cross-country schoolings, and the Turkey Trot if we can – but we need you. The year looks to be a great one thanks to all of you! All the best,
Heidi Lemack President

If you’re reading this, you are probably a member of ESDCTA, but I’m sure you know of someone who rides dressage or events who is not a member. You know all about the wonderful things offered like educational programs, clinics with big name trainers, horse shows, year-end awards, and not least, that sense of being part of a community of likeminded people. The more members ESDCTA has, the better the programs we can offer. Our membership numbers are also important considerations when state and local governments decide on legislature that affects us (like open space), and we advocate for our sports (we’re working on better footing at the HPNJ). Please reach out to your equestrian buddies and tell them about all of the benefits of membership and have them sign up. The more the merrier!

Horse Treats By, Meredith Rogers
We all think our horses are special. However, there are some horses everyone in the world thinks are special. Below are some world record holders. Tallest horse: Samson, a Shire gelding who stood 21.2½ hh. He was foaled in 1846 in England. He was renamed Mammouth when he was 4 years old due to his size. Shortest horse: Little Pumpkin was only 3.2 hh (14 inches tall) and weighted only 20 pounds. He was foaled in April 15, 1973, and lived in South Carolina. Oldest horse: Old Billy, a Cleveland Bay or draft cross, was foaled in 1760 in England. He lived to be 62 years old, dying in 1822. Heaviest horse: Brooklyn Supreme, a Belgian born in 1928, was recorded weighing 3200 lbs (1.42 tons). Longest tail: A Palomino named Chinook had a tail that measured 22 feet. Longest mane: Maude, a mare from California, had an 18-foot mane. Most race wins: A horse named Kingston had 89 wins from 138 starts between 1986 and 1994. Most Olympic gold medals: In show jumping it was a horse named Halla, ridden by Hans-Gunther Winkler, who won 2 gold medals in 1956 (individual and team) and 1 in 1960 (team). In eventing it was a horse named Marcroix, ridden by Charles Pahud de Mortanges, who won 2 golds in 1928 (individual and team) and 1 in 1932 (individual). In dressage it was Rembrandt, ridden by Nicole Uphoff, who won 2 golds (individual and team) in 1988 and again in 1992.

The Amateur Dilemma By, Meredith Rogers
Vet bills, vet bills, and more vet bills. That’s been my life recently – just in time for the holidays. Despite Congress reaffirming horses as livestock (see News from Outside the Ring), my boys are definitely my pets. This means I’ll do just about anything I can for them, so when PJ was just NQR (not quite right), I called the vet. I used to be a give-them-rest-and-bute-for-a-week-andthen-see-what-happens kind of person. But, since I’ve taken out insurance on them, I’m much more apt to call the vet sooner rather than later. Thankfully, I’ve only used insurance once before, as the very few issues we’ve had have been too minor to meet our deductible. It started with the vet coming and watching him go on a straight line and then on the lunge. Every Poor PJ wrinkle of the vet’s face was nerve-racking. Of course, he wasn’t three-legged lame, so nerve-blocking was suggestive but not definitive. Urg. It amazes me how far veterinary medicine has come since I started riding. The next step was a trip to the clinic for a bone scan (aka nuclear scintigraphy). It was the first time PJ slept anywhere except home since I bought him almost 9 years ago. I cried as I drove away. The next day I kept my cell phone glued to my side waiting for word from the vet. It wasn’t until early afternoon that she called. Again, nothing on the bone scan screamed “lameness is from here!” She ended up x-raying and ultrasounding a few places that had lit up before settling on his neck as the most likely culprit. She suggested injecting between a couple of vertebrae and seeing what happens. I said ok, and was able to pick him up in the dark later that day. He seemed happy to see me. So that brings us to today. I still don’t know if all we’ve done has been successful as we’re in the buting and tack-walking stage of recovery (it all comes back to rest and bute). Even with insurance, this little adventure will cost several thousand dollars, and where do we go from here if he’s not better? Uncertainty is one of the hardest things about horse ownership, and not just regarding lameness. Should I stay with my trainer? Should I move up a level? Should I try a new bit or shoeing technique or shampoo? If you are lucky, you have a solid support system and knowledge base that can help you make these decisions. But, you must be the one to choose what’s best for you and your pony, and most likely you’ll make a wrong decision or two. All we can do is keep our horses’ best interests at heart – and cross our fingers.

Notes from the Front Lines: the USDF Convention The ESDCTA was fortunate to be able to be represented by a good group at the 2018 Adequan®/ USDF Annual Convention, November 28December 1. Lisa Toaldo, Betty Adduci, and Ruth McCormick traveled to Salt Lake City, UT, where the meeting was being held this year. The trip didn’t start out all that well for Lisa and Betty, who didn’t get in until 4:30 am due to flight delays and then attended events throughout the day and into the evening! Talk about having a long day! This was the first time Betty and Ruth attended and they were very glad they did. Here’s a quick rundown of the hot topics at the different sessions.
Lisa Toaldo presenting at Region 1 breakout meeting
At the Regional and GMO Roundtables, volunteers were celebrated. It takes a lot of volunteers to keep the USDF running – and we have a great group but can always use more. The Board of Governors (“BOG”) meeting was where most business got done. Think of the BOG as similar to the House of Representatives. It was interesting to learn about the roles and jurisdictions of the USEF, USDF, and FEI. In most cases USDF recommends rule changes to USEF (as opposed to making the rule itself).
George Williams Passing the Torch to Lisa Gorretta
Officers were elected. We have a changing of the guard from President George Williams to President Lisa Gorretta (was VP). George was President for 9 years and was on the Board for 17. Of note, Debby Savage, formerly of ESDCTA, was elected Region 2 Director.
SafeSport was introduced this year and is based on the US Senate bill for harassment training. Sonya Keating of the USEF discussed what the program means for us. All USEF competing members and owners must take it on line or risk not being able to show. 10

COLLECTIVE REMARKS
The proposed budget for 2019 was presented and approved. Very exciting is that funding for a new Regional Schooling Show Award Program is in the budget. The program will be launched for 2020 and requires participants to be GMO members. This will be in addition to local GMO awards (like ours). Most controversial was the discussion about the freestyle rule change that is in effect. You now have to have a 63% score in the highest level test instead of 60% in order to perform a freestyle. You can also earn your score with the horse at a higher level test (eg, if you achieve a 63% at 3-1, you can ride a second level freestyle). Although the rule has gone into effect for the indefinite future, the BOG voted to ask USEF to rescind the rule. Some Debbie McDonald, the new US Dressage voted to rescind because they didn’t agree Technical Advisor, Addresses the Convention with the rule and some because they didn’t think the right process was followed in creating the rule. The rule was made by the USEF at the direction of USEF committees but had not been fully discussed or approved at the convention last year. More to come on this. There was also the Awards Gala where many from our area were recognized for their accomplishments in 2018. Unfortunately, a lot of the committees run concurrently, so not all could be attended, including Judges, L program, Freestyles and Freestyles qualification changes, Membership, Rule Changes, SafeSport, Technical delegates, Youth, Instructor/trainer, among others. Educational sessions focused on young horses, footing, rider emergencies, and the training pyramid. If this sounds like an interesting, exciting, entertaining, educational, fun adventure in dressage (it was), and you would like to attend next year, please contact anyone on our Board: https://www.esdcta.org/home/about/executive-boardboard-of-trustees/. Next year the convention will be in Savannah, GA, November 30 to December 4, 2019.

Embrace Even the Small Breakthroughs By Paige Zimmerman
I recently had a big breakthrough that has really transformed my riding. This breakthrough regards collecting the trot and canter without just sitting there and letting the horse fall on the forehand. Buddy (a beefy 20-year-old OTTB) has rather large gaits and some downhill conformation, so naturally it is difficult to convince him to really use his hind end and back. What I have always tended to do was to relax in my core and bring my shoulders stiffly forward a bit. As a result, when he got on the forehand and into my hands, we got into a pulling match. This either resulted in him getting strung out in the trot, breaking from the canter, or me having to make a big correction. But recently, I discovered that I have a strong enough core and I should use it! I need to sit up and pull my shoulders back and down without tightening anywhere else (like my elbows) or holding my breath. It’s hard work, but it’s magical how much of a difference it made in my riding and in Buddy’s ability to carry himself. I have a much easier time collecting him, and he is also much more responsive. In just two lessons everything has improved dramatically. But, at the same time as sitting up and bringing my shoulders back, I have to remember to relax my legs and my elbows, look up, relax my neck, loosen my back, not lean back, keep my thumbs up, etc. So, the multitasking part of the equation is definitely a work in progress.

COLLECTIVE REMARKS
Relating to this breakthrough, one thing I’ve discovered is that watching videos of really good riders makes my riding better. In school, I often find myself with some free time if I’ve finished what I was working on or if I don’t have anything to do in a study hall. At home, I also spend quite a bit of my free time watching videos and reading articles or watching sales videos of amazing horses that are way too much for me to handle (but I still want them for some reason – ha ha). I particularly like to watch videos of Charlotte Dujardin, Laura Graves, and Adrienne Lyle. While I watch the videos, I like to imagine myself sitting in the saddle and feeling what I am supposed to be doing. Looking at the rider in the video and then at myself in a mirror while on the horse, I try to tweak my position until I figure out where I need to be. My recent breakthrough is in response to that tweaking because I’ve somewhat figured out what I need to feel and look like when I want to collect the trot or canter without using my hands. I’m pretty excited because if I continue making these small adjustments in my position over the winter, I think I’ll feel fairly confident by show season. Of course, dressage is all about nitpicking, and by moving a quarter of an inch you can change the entire picture. Riding Buddy has taught me a lot about this because he knows exactly when I am riding effectively and when I am not. If I squeeze with my legs a little too hard or take too much contact, it shows. Balancing that scale of too much and too little can be difficult, but when you can master it, I believe you can truly become an effective rider instead of one who can only ride horses that put up with whatever you do. An effective rider is one who can get on a not-so-fancy horse and encourage it to look fancy. That’s the kind of rider I aspire to be. I don’t want to fall into the trap of getting fed up with contact and collection problems and putting on a double bridle to “fix” them. I am willing to wait and have breakthroughs and become a better rider, because even though I really want to do “big things”, I know I have to be patient. I am positive that what I am learning is right, and if I keep going step by step, I won’t need to patch training holes. I’ll be able to fix them. That’s why I love having breakthroughs. Because no matter how small they may be, to me, I am one step closer to my goals. So, I’ll keep watching videos, reading articles, and riding as much as I can, because even though I don’t have the resources to do a big competition just yet, I want to become good enough to be ready the second an opportunity comes along.

COLLECTIVE REMARKS
News from Outside the Ring Horse Are Livestock Last month, despite the holidays, Congress actually did something useful. On December 12, 2018, Congress passed the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (H. R. 2), which amends and extends major programs for income support, food and nutrition, land conservation, trade promotion, rural development, research, forestry, horticulture, and other miscellaneous programs administered by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) for five years through 2023. As part of this legislature is a Pet and Women Safety (PAWS) measure that expands existing federal domestic violence protections to include pets – a good thing. However, including horses in this provision could have created a host of problems for horse owners, breeders, and farmers. Thankfully, the new statute retains “horses” as a stand-alone category, which helps maintain horses as livestock. More information can be found here: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr2 Dressage at Devon Needs You! It may seem like Dressage at Devon just finished, but the organizers are already planning for DaD 2019, and they need help. They are seeking people who have financial, legal, and/or fundraising experience to serve on the Board. They are also looking for someone with “excellent contacts in the dressage community,” to help with outreach. As someone who has volunteered during the show for a few years now, I can say it’s a lot of fun and very educational, so even if you don’t want to be on the Board, they can use all of the warm bodies they can get. If you are interested, please reach out to Lori Kaminski, the DaD President at Kaminski.lori@gmail.com. Equestrian Business Women Meet If you are a woman and a trainer, barn owner, tack store manager, breeder, or any number of other professionals associated with horses, you are an Equestrian Business Woman (EQBW). Now there is an organization just for you: The Equestrian Businesswomen (https://www.eqbusinesswomen.com/). If you are looking for support, education, and networking opportunities, check them out. And if you will be in Florida the first week of January, you may want to attend the Equestrian Businesswomen Summit on January 9, at the Palm Beach Country Convention Center, West Palm Beach, FL. A number of successful women entrepreneurs, motivational speakers, career counselors, and equestrian professionals are scheduled to present, with numerous opportunities to network.

Proposed Rule Changes for Volunteer Hours By Erin Gale
Within the next week or so, you will be receiving an email asking for some feedback on a proposed volunteer rule change that the ESDCTA Board has been discussing. As everyone knows, our club events are run solely by volunteers. Currently, we require members to volunteer at least 8 hours total at ESDCTA sponsored and affiliated shows registered with ESDCTA, as well as other activities throughout the year, to qualify for a year end award (additional hours are needed for additional awards). Throughout the past several years it has been increasingly difficult to staff our events due to lack of volunteers, despite show entries holding steady. Before you provide fee wanted to share some insight on the new rule idea and further explain why we feel there is a need for change. Proposed Rule Change: For the first award: 6 ESDCTA organized hours + 6 hours from any other registered events = 12 volunteer hours total ESDCTA organized hours are to be accumulated at ESDCTA hosted events (eg, Memorial Day Show, Summer Days, NJ Horse Trials and Eventing Championship, Dressage Championship Show, Turkey Trot). For the second award: 4 additional hours from any other registered events = 16 volunteer hours total For the third award: 2 additional hours from any other registered events = 18 volunteer hours total For those who cannot do the ESDCTA organized hours, there may be a buyout option. Hours for awards (not grants) can be earned by anyone and transferred. Why the urgency? ESDCTA cannot run our events without people to staff them. We currently do not have the number of volunteers we need nor the budget to hire out or contract staffing. We also want to encourage members to volunteer at both ESDCTA hosted events and our sanctioned member-hosted shows. 16
yourmagazine
COLLECTIVE REMARKS
If we are unable to increase our volunteer involvement for our ESDCTA hosted events, we are at a big risk of having to cancel some of our events. I’m sure these events are important to you since many were at your suggestion, but also, these events are how our club generates revenue, which in turn, helps fund clinics, youth programs, and additional education programs. What are the benefits of volunteering and how will we keep track of hours? We believe that volunteering is a great opportunity for members to learn more about their sport and be a part of our local equestrian community. Scribing for a judge, being a ring steward, jump set-up, and helping with the other show tasks expose members to the “other side” of showing where they can learn helpful insights. No experience is required. We train you! Volunteerism looks good on a resume or college application. In additional to eligibility for year end awards, volunteers can also accumulate volunteer bucks. These bucks can be used for ESDCTA logo wear. ESDCTA is working on developing a tracking system to make it easier for members to track volunteer hours. How can your opinion be heard? Please be on the lookout for the email poll that will be sent out. This will be a great opportunity to voice any concern or new ideas on volunteering. We appreciate all the feedback that we get. We all have the same goal and that is to promote Dressage and Combined Training, attend and be involved in educational events, and have the opportunity to show.

Eventing Goals 101 By, Marie Stetson
On a clear and sunny, late December morning, when temperatures are predicted to reach into the 50s, it is easy to think of goals for the 2019 eventing season. Resolutions are the currency of the New Year’s season. Who doesn’t look toward New Year’s Day with an eye toward goals? Goals are also the particular currency of amateur equestrians. When you have a job, a family, and horses, riding goals are often what keeps horses from getting dropped in favor of other items on the “to do” list. I’m a big fan of goals. I keep a running list of goals in my hand, ramping up when I achieve one of my goals, or, more frequently, scaling back when the original goal seems unattainable. But, January is also a time for the big picture. In a year from now, what do I hope will be different about my life, about my horses, about my attitude? This year, I have a new thought about my goals. For several years I’ve had as a goal to compete at a recognized, beginner novice horse trials. Why not? I can walk, trot, and canter. I can jump 2’7”. I even have a horse trailer. It seems like this should be an attainable goal. And yet, every year, while I compete successfully at unrecognized events, at the level just below beginner novice, I have yet to make it to a recognized

beginner novice horse trial. I started to wonder if I should just drop this from my list of 2019 resolutions. And then, I began to wonder if the problem was in how I framed my resolutions. I am a teacher. I teach students all the time about their goals. “I want to get an A,” isn’t enough of a goal, I often counsel. You need to set out the ways to make that goal happen. Rather than choose a result, the goal should help you develop the habits of mind that will enable you to get an A. I would encourage that student to make some more process-oriented goals. Perhaps she could make it a goal to see her teacher once a week to review material, or to install the FocusMe ap on her computer to limit social media during prime study hours. It occurred to me that I should take my own advice when it comes to goals and resolutions for 2019. I will, rather than aim for a result, try to make the kind of process-oriented resolutions that would foster habits and attitudes that will help me move closer to my competition goals without making my measure of success whether I actually get to a particular show. In an attempt to follow my own advice, I’ve come up with four, process-oriented, horse-related resolutions for 2019. I typically ride five days a week, so I wanted to focus on how to improve the quality of my rides. I have the goal to ride better, but I also wanted to make sure there was a way to make that quantifiable. This was my attempt, and I figured if I share them publicly, maybe I’ll have better luck keeping them: Goal One: Flat My Horse On My Own Once a Week My overgrown pony, Frankie, is a 15-hand, Welsh cross. Although a lovely mover when the spirit moves him, that spirit is not easy to conjure. I usually flat him in a lesson so that I have a trainer to talk me through the frustrating parts. I don’t like being frustrated with my horse, and I find I respond better when I have an expert guiding me. On my own, I often work on fitness, taking him on long hacks, or I walk, trot and canter around the ring. However, I feel like working on our own to get some of the same obedience that I can get in a lesson is important to our continued improvement, and I resolve to flat on my own more regularly. It will help me give my patience a workout when I learn to ask for submission, rather than demanding it. While I only have access to my outdoor ring, frozen ground shouldn’t be an obstacle to this goal. You can practice a lot of flat work at the walk, on the trail, so this goal I should be able to maintain all winter. Goal Two: Jump My Horse Once a Week This is not as simple as it seems. I keep my horses at home, and I often ride alone. I

do not, however, jump alone, which means this one requires a little planning. To achieve this goal, I need to schedule a jump lesson (not that easy when so many eventing trainers flee south for the winter), or ride when my daughter is home, or, if necessary, drag my husband up to the ring to pick up the pieces if I end up on the ground. This goal has one caveat. Once the deep freeze settles in, my once a week jumping will have to wait until my outdoor ring thaws. Goal Three: Find Some Clinics Over the Winter Winter is long. Sometimes my motivation wanes. There is nothing better to get the adrenaline going than riding in a group or at a new venue. Riding at home, especially in the winter, can be a lonely endeavor. It’s always good to get out and see some horse friends, and nothing sharpens my focus like having to ride in a ring with others. Winter jumping clinics would also help with goal number two. Goal Four: Remember to be Grateful for Every Ride To have the time and opportunity to be in the company of horses is a gift. This is something I can remember when I’m riding or doing night check on a cold, winter night. Any time that my pony is sound, and I am healthy enough to ride, is something to be grateful for. Even on those blustery January days when I’m relegated to long walks, it is a privilege to be able to ride my horse, to experience nature, and to have quiet time to think and observe. I want to be reminded of that gift every time I put my feet in the stirrups. Whether my horse wants to complete a 20-meter circle in exactly the same way that I want him to, or whether he wants to jump ALL the jumps in a stadium course, instead just 8 out of the 9, what really matters is the time spent with a powerful, graceful creature whose well-being depends on me. To remember every day how lucky I am to have a partner on my riding journey will be my most important resolution this year. I am very confident in my ability to achieve these goals while writing them on a balmy December day. To be able to cling to them during the frozen expanse of February will be the true test of my ability to grow as a rider and as a person.
