Horse Show Entry Tips from GDCTA
Opening/Closing Entry dates: You will find an opening date and closing date in the Prize List. The opening day is when we will start to accept entries. We will take entries on a first come basis. To have the best odds of getting your entry accepted, you should submit your entry close to the opening date. The closing date is the last date we will accept entries. Some shows will receive more entries than we can accommodate and depending on the situation we may accept entries after the closing date with a late fee.
Get help if you need it.
Some tips fo r completing your entr y:
Riding horses is just too much fun and the bond/connection with your horse is too important to not enjoy showing at some point and at some level. We’d like to help you navigate the show entry process.
Sign all the releases/waivers! In the Spring of 2020, USEF replaced their single Liability Release form with two new documents: USEF Entry Agreement and USEF Waiver/Release. You can find both on the USEF website USEF.org. USDF waivers and the GDCTA Hold Harmless waiver are published in the Prize List, or you can find them on the respective websites.
Read the Prize List! The Prize List is jampacked with details like class specifications, show information, an entry form, waivers, and the show rules. Read it thoroughly. Don’t underestimate this task – it may take a long time, but you will know what to expect.
If you have troubles and need to contact the show management, be kind, be courteous, be patient. Wear a smile! The horse world is very small. 10
Know your rules! Find the current USEF discipline rules on the USEF.org website.

The Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) has officially opened membership for their 21 st season in 2022 2023 for all new and returning riders, coaches and teams. And, they are adding something NEW to this season’s competition programming Adult Forcompetitors.thepast20 years, IEA has provided competition opportunities to youth equestrians in grades 4 12 using a draw based (catch ride) format similar to collegiate riding programs. Riders are provided a horse and tack for each competition at all levels thus reducing the cost of having to own a horse and participating in equestrian sport that is often unreachable for many Forindividuals.thefirst time, IEA is rolling out an Adult Pilot Program for amateur riders ages 21 and older to participate in the IEA format during the 2022 2023 season. All adult riders must become a member of the IEA and be associated with an IEA coach. Adult rider members will participate as individual participants only and will not participate as part of a team. The Adult Pilot program includes Hunt Seat, Western and Dressage classes with three class options for each Adultdiscipline.rider members will not be limited to the number of competitions they may participate in and unlike youth riders, points will not be earned and therefore no post season competitions will be held after the regular season. Results of Adult Classes will be collected and posted to the IEA website throughout the regular season during this initial Pilot year.
The Adult Pilot Program is optional for any returning IEA Moreteam. information can be found in the IEA 2022-2023 Rulebook under Adult Pilot Program Addendum or on this Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) flyer.
The IEA 2022 2023 regular competition season runs August 2022 through May 2023, depending upon discipline. Adult rider applications will be made available on the IEA website later this month on the Membership Page After reading the Adult Pilot Program Addendum and FAQ flyer, if you still have questions please contact the following IEA Adult Pilot Program

The following is an excerpt from The Ethics and Passions of Dressage. This book by Charles de Kunffy is dedicated to the art of riding and the traditions of classical horsemanship. This portion is from Chapter 8 NonConfrontational Horsemanship. Buy the book on his site www.charlesdekunffy.com/shop or it is available from TheAmazon.non-confrontational
Non-confrontational
1. Insist on harmonious following, and resulting unity, of one’s center of gravity with that of the horse. By always remaining in a lack of opposition to the horse’s shifting center of gravity, we temporarily deny ourselves the capacity to aid for changes. Rather, we temporarily commit ourselves to maintaining the status quo by allowing the horse to initiate while we follow. By insisting on the harmonious union of our center of gravity with the horse’s, we become friendly insiders to his motion. By following the horse consistently, even in his rhythmic irregularities and abrupt directional changes, we can convey partnership. This attitude is analogous to dancing. We influence our dancing partners imperceptibly in the most arduous tempo changes, shifts in balance, speed, and direction. . .
2. As the horse presents opportunities, one should take advantage of them. When the horse initiates acceptable actions, the rider should promote them. This will improve the horse’s confidence in his rider’s guidance. For instance, by turning on a diagonal, a horse may offer a longer, more floating stride. The rider should not merely permit such an initiative by harmonizing with it, but rather should encourage the horse to maximize the delivery of his own ideas! Opportunistic riding of this kind fosters progress and inspires the horse’s confidence in his rider. The horse can learn that when he does things well, he remains unopposed. The individuality, character, and special talents of each horse are our most valuable assets. Horse should be encouraged to display initiative and enjoy our acquiescence to them. After all, we must always be flexible to change training plans in an instant. No good rider ever carries out his planned training program for the day; the ability to correctly improvise is the foundation of correct training strategy.
3. School to do things correctly. Two wrongs will never make one right. If something is performed incorrectly by the horse, no punishment will correct it. For a horse can only understand corrective guidance that shows him what to do, not the kind that shows only what not to Usually,do!the rider is to blame for the wrong a horse has done. Misunderstanding or inability to perform what has been asked for can prompt the horse to deliver incorrect results. The rider must patiently assess the causes of the nondelivery and school the horse through to understand how it can be done well. Show repeatedly, patiently, and pleasantly how to do it correctly. Punitive, illogical, unreasonable riding will not teach a horse anything. . .
Training Principles an excerpt from The Ethics and Passions of Dressage by Charles de Kunffy
4. Ask for, rather than command, performance. Riding is based on a continuum of activities between extreme permissiveness to extreme punishment and rudeness. Along this punishment and reward continuum, there is a definite breaking point where punishment stops, and reward begins. The lowest level of
training principles occur in four conceptual categories:
reward is the absence of pain, often as simple as harmony. . Therefore, riders must ask and not command the horse to do anything. Sophisticated riders on precisely trained horses may appear to dictate and command to a push-button horse that just loves discipline. What superficial nonsense! The instant willingness of the horse to respond to the imperceptible suggestions of a sophisticated rider is the very by-product of years of harmonious familiarity and the resultant attitude of joy to please. The partnership. When right, is not sadomasochistic (the most immature of relationships) but lovebased (the most selflessly mature).

Gems from Janet Foy’s Inspiring Clinic at Shannondale - July 23-24
Many of us have seen lots of clinics & have lots of dressage books (at least those of us with quite a few decades under our belt). What was special about Janet’s clinic? Why would an experienced instructor wish to stay a second unplanned day to absorb more of her training insights and wisdom? One auditor commented, “It was her sense of humor with a good solid foundation in dressage principles. She is “the ultimate professional” and really cares about dressage, as well as understanding fair rules and judging.” An upper-level clinic rider who competes appreciated the precise breakdown of aids in lateral work, critical tips for the zigzag and the importance of preparation for movements. Janet was very precise, clear, and positive. She also held the riders accountable for the execution of every movement. What could have been better? What was needed from the rider and the horse to create higher quality? She shared her wisdom and understanding of the complexity of dressage, and she was able to break it down into simple, enjoyable Janetinstruction.gavegeneral
20
training tips to distinguish between a good trainer versus a super trainer. A number of times she emphasized the efficient use of the warmup which should test the horse’s responsiveness to the aids with lots of experimentation, changes of gaits, tempi, bends, directions and ring figures. Another point was the importance of preparation for a request and the timing of when it’s best to ask for the request (i.e., transitions, new movements, new ring figures, etc.). She reminded riders to “Stop before you lose it and then go back to it.” If the horse evades as in breaking into a canter, make the evasion harder than what you were asking for, as in energetically riding forward in the canter. Avoid drilling over and over on a problem. Use a variety of exercises and different locations to achieve the same thing (e.g., bending around the rider’s inside leg). Make a harder exercise come from an easier one so that the horse is more relaxed going into the exercise. Calmness is important and do not hurry. Do not ask the horse to do more than they can – remember quality not quantity. Keep to the 90% rule – when 90% of the execution is successful, then move on in difficulty. Fix the problem of the movement in a different way (e.g., responsiveness to the aids, tempo, rhythm, etc.) and then go back to the movement without making a big deal of it or resorting to bigger aids. A most interesting reminder was that an experienced trainer will use different aids depending on the horse’s level of training. Throughout the clinic, she exemplified that “The most important part of the body in dressage is the brain, not the seat.” Also, remember to train the horse’s brain –especially for Grand Prix. Always end on a good note.
By Vera Vogt
Auditors and riders learned many tips for the rider, too. Start on the horse’s easy side. Remember where vision goes, the rider’s weight goes, and horses follow your weight. Know which exercises to use, why they are done and how to correct the issues that come up. Strive for equal weight in both reins although each rein has a different task. Be very clear about the aids, their timing & sequencing. That brought up the point of coordination and awareness of not just the horse’s weak and strong sides, but also those of the rider. She mentioned Hilda Gurney asking her to hold a potato with her weak hand & peel it with her strong hand. Also, she asked how many riders can stand like a stork on either leg. Often, she mentioned the rider needed to be aware of which body part of the horse and of the rider needed to be in the line of travel. She would ask, “Where is your horse’s ribcage?” Which of the rider’s body parts fixed which problems? For those who have no mirrors, she suggested listening to the horse’s footfall to determine correctness. She explained the different ways to start piaffe and passage depending on the horse’s characteristics – breed, confirmation, temperament and so forth. A rider’s creativity in alternate ways of starting a movement and locations of the execution keeps the horse from anticipating the exercise and makes it more consistent for the horse to wait for the rider’s aids. In short, don’t drill and make it fun. She was so clear in explaining why the horse didn’t do what the rider wanted and how to fix that. She pointed out compensations of both the horse and the rider when they were not able to do the exercise correctly. Auditors often heard, “Which part of the horse is causing the problem?” but then she also reminded the riders of their responsibility for their part in the situation.
It was a packed house with more than 40 auditors. GDCTA hopes to host Janet Foy again in 2023. Watch the website calendar.

2 After watching for two days, I was highly curious about her two books, and ordered the “set” at a discount from Trafalgar Square. Even though it was said to take up to four weeks for free shipping, both came in three days! Both are exceptionally well-designed. The format of Dressage for the Not-So-Perfect Horse is absolutely practical and for the busy, get-to-the-point rider. Yet it is also thorough. It’s not only a quick read to get your answer, but also more of a comprehensive manual making it easy to find a possible solution. The layout of her Dressage Q & A is equally user-friendly for those who would rather be riding than reading about it. GDCTA looks forward to Janet’s return next year and hopefully, it will be again at the beautiful, international quality Shannondale Farm facility. Janet’s lightheartedness will again help both riders and horses enjoy their endeavor for improved communication, harmony, and beauty in the very demanding sport of dressage. With all that she shared with us, we will be in better shape to absorb the nuances and high quality of her expertise. We hope to see you all next year! Our eight riders: Jill

“Had AN AMAZING TIME at the Janet Foy clinic put on by our neighbors at Georgia Dressage and Combined Training Association - the facility was so beautiful, and both boys were on their best* behavior (other than the usual screaming for each other by whoever was left behind in the stall ). The photographer was only there on Cairo’s lesson day, but I’m still pinching myself that we had this opportunity - especially after everything Cairo had been through. We cleaned up our flying changes and turns on the haunches (God help me), and Nimbus worked on forward and contact (still lol). A huge thank you to Francesca Case for being such an incredibly supportive trainer and coming down for the weekend to audit.
The Best Turned Out Rider winner was Mary McGuire Smith (pictured below), and the auditor drawing winner was Elizabeth Kane. 23
Getting ready for our next CTDA (Central Tennessee Dressage Association) show in just two weekends! Also, [Janet] was simply incredible. And also snarky as hell. What a rockstar. ”

By Evelyn Dampier I had such a good time at camp and learned so many more things. Day one (Monday) it was easy trailering and quick set up. The horses were a scared at first, but they warmed up quickly. Monday was easy and had a good time. Day two (Tuesday) Hannah was my teacher for the day. My first ride was dressage. A few things I learned was a better trot to walk transition and how to keep the horse from fall ing out of the turns. Later that day in jumping, a few things we worked on were going straight after the jump and use deep turns to get a better approach to the jump.
GDCTA Summer Camp Recaps From
Day three (Wednesday) My lessons were with Waylon. My first ride was dressage. The things we worked on were having lots of speed and to send the horse forward, inside hand higher, and eyes up. Later that day in jumping, we worked on leaning back to push the front legs up more to get more speed. Day four (Thursday) My lesson was with Sarah in cross country, and I learned how to stop while standing – it’s how jockeys stop. A few things we worked on were up and down hills, water, water jumps, and in between jumps.
By Aubrey Maier
I always appreciate spending time at Chattahoochee Hills Eventing, and this year I got their summer camp in the books. Over the course of the week I met with Hannah Sue Burnett, Waylon Roberts, and Sara Kozumplik Mur phy. All the clinicians were deeply knowledgeable fivestar eventers and educated me sincerely. Upon arrival at camp, I brought my new horse (Kenny) with me. With only about a month of bond between us, we wanted to focus on establishing a solid relationship, and this opportunity did just that. One of my favorite highlights of camp was day four in XC. I enjoyed being able to take Kenny out in a completely open field for the first time in his life and encourage him through the course; it was one of the most rewarding times of my life. Since then, Kenny has been able to progress in his evening career and I am so grateful for the opportunity we both received. Thank you so much to everyone that made it possible!
Overall, I had a great time at camp and learned so many new things. 28
The number of times I got compliments about how well I had done with my horse was motivating. Hearing it from professionals genuinely meant the world and
GDCTA's First Eventing Summer Camp!
From the Sponsored Grant Recipients
By Cora Williamson I was lucky enough to receive a sponsorship to attend the GDCTA Eventing Summer Camp with my mare Luna. This camp seemed extremely fun from the first time I saw it advertised, and my parents and I were trying to make it happen, but at the time, we couldn’t. I got a call from my trainer, Aubrey Graham, that said if you want to go to camp you can, there’s been a sponsorship! I immediately broke down in tears but tried to contain my emotions; I was certainly in shock. I called my mom, and we figured out how to get me there, and then it was all said and done! I was going to camp. This camp was memorable, from meeting new people, talking to 5* eventers, and critiquing my riding to do my mare and I some good. It was hot that week, so my number one priority was to keep my horse and myself cool. The schedules were proactive. They were not long riding sessions, but they were perfect lengths considering the heat, and plenty of time was set aside to ask questions, get pictures, etc. Every person you met was super supportive; you had people that you’ve only known for two days cheering you on from the sides of the arena. All the participants were extremely lovely, even the parents/mentors. If you needed anything, you already had a family on the first day you arrived. The clinicians were super friendly as well. It’s always nerve racking to ride in front of someone you know is a great rider, or at least for me, but the moment I walked into the arena, I felt comfortable. They wanted what was best for you and your horse. Breaking the days down of camp: Day 1: I went on a 6 mile trail ride that lasted two hours with Joanne Morse, which included some other camp girls viewing a lot of the beautiful property and enjoying a nice day of trail riding. Day 2: I rode with Hannah Sue for dressage and stadium. We had a decent dressage turnout with some great tips that helped us the rest of the week. When stadium rolled around, we had a couple of questions that faced Luna, but overall, I’d say we had a nice ride Daythen.3: I rode with Waylon Roberts. This was my favorite day of the whole camp. We went into dressage extremely nervous. While riding, we adjusted my leg, and it felt like my entire riding improved. Right lead? Not a problem anymore. I came out of dressage Wednesday, the happiest I have ever come out of the dressage ring. Moving onto stadium me and Luna had to work on getting away from our little, tiny Shetland pony strides and make them more warmblood strides to fit within the line/grid work we were doing, so it tested my ability to see the smaller distances and made her responsive to my aids of telling her when to take off.
29
the GDCTA Eventing Summer Camp was an enjoyable, busy, hot, yet very successful four days at Chattahoochee Hills Eventing at Bouckaert Farm. I would love to attend this camp again as my horse and I enjoyed our time and grew in the saddle and out!
Day 4: I rode with Sara Kozumplik Murphy out on XC. I realized that on XC, my mare was not herself, yet Sara took the time to help us and work through it. She comforted Luna and me when our nerves went sky high, and we learned that to improve Luna's confidence, I needed to improve my own, and it would simply take time. XC wasn’t terrible, but Luna was way more looky than she has ever really been to jumps she has seen a billion times, but we had a pretty ok day out there! What made me happiest this week was the compliments, I’ve taken this horse from absolutely nothing to everything she is today, and for a girl who rode school horses until this little kill pen pony came into my life, I’ll say I’ve done a pretty good job. The best part is these fantastic trainers thought the same thing.
Overall,more.

• Communication, (Joanne): June is collecting items for next newsletter. Three campers from the Eventing Camp will be doing write ups for the newsletter. Yearbook will be out in the next month.
• Finance, (Peter): There was a generous donation from a member. Jen has brought on Alexa who is interested in doing Sponsorship for us. Sponsorship chairperson will get paid 30% of new sponsorship coming in. If a product sponsor, the chair will get 10% of the product. It is an old contract that is being reused. Jen motioned to approve the contract and Abi seconded. Board voted to approve the contract with Alexa Ryan Oat
NEW BUSINESS
• Show Committee, (Julie): Three more shows coming up this year. We will host Regionals this year, but it got awarded to old Ocala Horse Park for 2023. Wills Park is still working on their new footing, so it won’t be ready for August show. At the Labor Day Dressage Classic, the R program will be testing. Tents were damaged at a show and will be needed at the August show and scribe clinic. Jen motioned for 3 new tents and Janie seconded. Board voted to order tents. Caren abstained.
• Awards, (Janie): Still working on getting all grant applications done from applicants.
• Education, (Julie): Completed budget from “L” Program section a with a profit. Had an expenditure for new tables. Jeremy Steinberg made $373; there were not as many auditors. Joanne reported numbers for the Ludwig clinic but had a small loss due to not as many entries. However, it was still a very good clinic. Joanne donated lunch and dinner cost. He was a good clinician. Eventing Camp was excellent. Several sponsors helped offset the cost. There were 27 riders, and 3 deposits were collected. A sponsor came on to sponsor 3 young riders for camp. Those juniors will each do an article for the newsletter. The camp had just over $2,000 in profit. One of the trainers discounted the fee at the end in favor of having the GDCTA have a profit. All clinicians said they would like to come back.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
• Nominating Committee, (Janie, Nicole): Discussion of the perimeters of nominations.
