Industry Update USEF Passes New Helmet Rules

Photo: Rein Photography

By USEF Communications Department The Board of Directors during this year’s United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Annual Meeting approved new helmet rules for riders in both eventing and dressage – just two weeks after dozens of stakeholders in equestrian sport met with the goal of improving rider safety across disciplines.

“If the technology is available to reduce head injuries, the time to use it is now,” said USEF President David O’Connor. “I am very proud of our organization for taking this very important step. It is a huge direction of change.”

Briefly, the first rule change The USEF passed new helmet rules for eventing and dressage. requires anyone on a horse to wear a ASTM/SEI-approved helmet at all times while mounted on competition rule change through the USEF commitgrounds at U.S. nationally rated eventing tees during USEF’s Annual Meeting. competitions.

probably inevitable and statistically justifiable rule change in an effort to continue this encouraging trend.”

The second rule change became effective March 1, 2011, for dressage. It requires anyone under 18 mounted on a horse to wear protective headgear 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).

Additional details regarding the changes to the rules for Protective Headgear for Dressage (DR120.5) are available at http:// www.usef.org/_IFrames/RuleBook/ Changes/2011.aspx.

Import Permits and USDA Health Certificates The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed that import permits will continue to be required for the importation of semen and embryos from the U.S. into Canada during 2011.

These import restrictions are a result of Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) in the U.S.

Championship Added to NAJYRC

By Helen Murray For the first time the Adequan FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships presented by Gotham North (NAJYRC) will add a Junior Championship in the sport of reining in 2011. Reining joins the dressage, eventing and jumping disciplines in hosting International FEI championships for Juniors and Young Riders. The three Olympic equestrian disciplines were expanded to officially include a junior championship in 2006. Reining has been included in this annual event since 2008. For the third consecutive year North America’s most promising up and coming reiners will compete in the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park, which played host to the FEI World Reining Championships Presented by John Deere during the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. These championships have been expanded in 2011 to encompass five disciplines for the first time with the inclusion of the sport of endurance. This year will mark the

first-ever North American Young Rider Endurance Championship. NAJYRC will run from July 27-31, 2011, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. Qualification procedures for the new junior division will be available soon and posted online along with the 2011 Young Riders division procedures, which have been updated. For more information, please visit: www.youngriders.org.

Eventing Rule Changes The following eventing rule changes were approved at the January 23 USEF Board meeting and are effective immediately: In conjunction with GR1317, the following apply in the case of fall/accident (or other injury likely to cause concussion) (as determined by qualified medical personnel): a. No loss of consciousness and no sign of concussion – No mandatory suspension; b. No loss of consciousness but with brief symptoms of concussion e.g. confusion, loss of memory, altered mental state (all symptoms of concussion must have resolved within 15 minutes both at

rest and exercise) – minimum of seven days mandatory suspension. The day of injury counts as the first day of suspension period. c. Any loss of consciousness, however brief, or symptoms of concussion persisting after 15 minutes – minimum 21 days mandatory suspension. The day of injury counts as the first day of the suspension period. d. Notwithstanding the above riders who have established a baseline neurocognitive skills level through a Federation approved testing program e.g.

IMPACT test may return to competition upon submission to the Federation of certification evidence confirmation that they have passed an exam establishing that they have suffered no impairment of that level. In addition, they must submit clearance as required under GR1317.6. e. All other riders may, at the expiration of the mandatory suspension period, return to competition by complying with the requirements of GR1317.5.

Also, changes were made to Faults at Obstacles: a. Disobediences (1) First refusal, run-out or circle – 20 penalties (2) Second refusal, run-out or circle at the same obstacle – 40 penalties (3) Third refusal, run-out or circle at the same obstacle – Elimination (4) Fourth penalized disobedience on the entire course – Elimination b. Falls (1) First fall of competitor – *Elimination (RF) (2) First fall of horse – Mandatory retirement To facilitate accurate administration of EVIOS.3 (Loss of Establishment) Competitor Falls will be denoted as “RF” on official score sheets and results.

Perfectionism

& Your Performance It doesn’t always pay to be a perfectionist.

Learn how “last-minute perfectionism” can undermine your horse’s performance.

I

t’s five-thirty in the morning and I’m getting one more ride in before my national-championship class in the afternoon. It’s my last chance to prepare my horse for the biggest competition of the year, and I’m not alone. There are 10 or 12 other riders in the ring.

In spite of the darkness, frigid temperature and too little sleep, we’re all schooling and fine tuning our horses one last time.

We’re trying to make sure that all of the hard work we’ve put in over the last month, year, decade, whatever, culminates in a stellar performance. The pressure on the riders is palpable, because everyone feels as if all the work they’ve put in comes down to this one last ride.

The arena is quiet now, with only the sounds of hoof beats and buzzing fluorescent lights. Within a few hours, though, it will be a cauldron of noise and activity, replete with rolling baby strollers and a loudspeaker squawking until I can’t hear myself think. The riders know this drastic change in environment might unsettle their horses. However, as I watch how intensely we’re working our horses, another thought comes to mind. What often affects horses’ performances even more than changes in environment are changes in their riders.

After all, it’s not just horses that respond differently to changes in setting and challenge. Riders think, feel and behave differently at horse shows, too, even to the point of taking on different personalities. Suddenly, a horse can find that the relaxed, confident, patient rider he knew at home is now a tense perfectionist.

In this article, I’m going to share my views on this kind of “last-minute perfectionism” and how it can undermine your horse’s performance.

Perfectionism is Irrational and Debilitating Let’s start by examining a key question. Is perfectionism a good thing? To listen to some people, you’d think so. Some say their perfectionism is what drives them to pay attention to detail and produce good work. Others wear it as a badge of honor, as 36 Equine Journal Dateline ❙ Spring 2011

if their persistent distress over minor imperfections somehow reveals superior character.

What’s reflected in these attitudes, though, is that a lot of people confuse perfectionism with dedication to the pursuit of excellence. So let’s dispel that notion right away. In my view, perfectionism is not about maximizing performance (which requires a tolerance for imperfection, especially in equestrian sport) and is seldom driven by a passion for excellence. Instead, I see perfectionism as an inability to tolerate imperfection, which is driven by psychological vulnerabilities. I also see it as something that compels you to allocate your attention, effort and emotional reserves in irrational ways.

To begin with, it can pull your attention away from relatively important facets of what you’re doing to less important ones that just happen to be your obsession of the moment (e.g. you work on those perfect button braids so long you run out of time to lunge).

In addition, it can pull your attention away from the big picture and bury it in relatively inconsequential details (e.g. you focus so much on keeping your horse’s head in the proper frame that you become oblivious to his mental state, which affects his performance so much more).

The next question is this. If perfectionism is so distressing and debilitating, why do we tend to fall victim to it so often? Well, it’s because our subconscious minds find it a useful tool to relieve even greater discomforts when we’re challenged psychologically.

Photo: Rein Photography

If there’s any endeavor on earth that doesn’t yield itself to perfectionism, it’s competitive riding. Just the fact that you have a living, breathing animal as your performance partner makes expecting machine-like predictability and precision unfair to both of you.

For example, many perfectionists are driven to it by a subconscious fear of failure.

Their perfectionism is rooted in fear of embarrassment, fear of letting someone down, fear of feeling inadequate (“If I do this perfectly, that will show I’m not inadequate”) or simply not wanting to feel like they didn’t do their best. I call this mindset defensive perfectionism, because it’s all about protecting yourself from bad feelings.

You don’t have to be psychologically vulnerable to exhibit perfectionism, however.

It’s perfectly natural for any rider, even someone unaffected by fear of failure, to become a perfectionist when something important is at stake. It can stem from the purest of desires to

do the best possible job. In other words, even the most relaxed, tolerant rider can morph into a perfectionist in the moments leading up to a big class.

Your Horse Isn’t a Perfectionist — So Don’t Expect Him to Respond Like One Perfectionism becomes an even bigger issue when you consider the impact it can have on your horse.

Let’s state the obvious. Your horse isn’t tossing and turning in his stall all night stressing about whether or not the judge is going to like him, or whether other horses are going Spring 2011 ❙ Equine Journal Dateline 37

to think less of him if he performs poorly. He only responds to what he’s experiencing moment to moment. So, if what you’re doing makes him feel physically weak, insecure or annoyed, you’re undermining his chances for a good performance. He doesn’t have the capacity to overcome these things through sheer will, positive self-talk or the desire to win a blue ribbon.

If you work him to death to solve something you’re having trouble with, he’ll lose his brilliance or even get tired and sore (hmm, you practiced that collected canter for 10 laps… no wonder your horse has a sore back). If you push him too hard to perfect things he’s already doing pretty well, he’ll get frustrated and cranky. If you spend the whole day hovering around him, checking up on every little thing and pulling him out of his stall over and over again, he won’t be able to relax.

That’s why it’s important to remind yourself that, if there’s any endeavor on earth that doesn’t yield itself to perfectionism, it’s competitive riding. Just the fact that you have a living, breathing animal as your performance partner makes expecting machinelike predictability and precision unfair to both of you. There’s no question that some horses need extensive schooling and work prior to a big class. It’s just that you should adapt your schooling to his needs, not yours, and especially not overwork him just to meet your psychological need for a more perfect ride.

Resist the Temptation to Force Your Personal Agenda on Your Horse Another way to think of this is to recognize that, like everyone else, you approach challenging situations with a personal

agenda, whether subconsciously or not. Such an agenda often focuses more on meeting your needs than those of your horse.

For example, to make yourself more confident about entering the show ring, you might approach your final practice session as a stride-for-stride dress rehearsal. Well, that most likely isn’t what your horse needs, especially if perfection is your goal, and it’s usually not doable in the practice ring. Worse, it can set your confidence back big-time if things don’t go well (“This is terrible… this is my last chance to get it right… I’m in trouble”).

Sometimes, I can sense I’m getting caught up in this kind of thing. That’s when I go for a different approach, such as getting into a soft hand gallop and paying attention to my horse’s breathing. Two or three laps later, we’re relaxed.

No agenda. No tension. It’s just him and me, feeling like we do at home.

The point is, you need to learn how to recognize your motivational impulses and how they affect your interaction with your horse. You need to train yourself to remain aware of your horse’s needs and how he’s reacting to what you’re doing. Part of this is recognizing that competitive riding isn’t just about you and your aspirations, goals and expectations. It’s about helping your horse perform to the best of his ability, and you

have to take his current capabilities and state of mind into consideration.

So question your motives and perceptions when it feels like you’re not interacting well with your horse and perfectionism might be the cause. Ask yourself, “Am I doing this to actually improve his performance or simply to make myself feel better?” Ask yourself, “Is this a real issue I’m obsessed about or am I just acting on my insecurity and self-doubt?” The key is to recognize when you’re focusing more on meeting your psychological needs than improving your horse’s performance.

If you have a lot of nervous energy, work it off in a way that doesn’t drive your horse crazy.

If you’re worried about aspects of your own performance, practice them mentally so that you don’t compromise your horse’s performance in the process.

Trust Your Training Finally, when I see my riders getting obsessed about riding perfectly just before a class, I try to get them to take a longer view and trust their training. This means adopting a broader perspective based on their entire body of work, not just on what they’re experiencing in their last practices or warm-ups.

I can’t tell you how many times my riders

and I have had difficulty with something in the warm-up ring and then ridden exceptionally well in the show ring, or viceversa. So it doesn’t make sense to conclude that what you experience in that one, final practice session is exactly what you’ll get in the show ring. It also doesn’t make sense to expect perfection from your horse at that time, just because it’s so close to your class.

Here’s my main point. Your goal when you get to a show should be to ride as consistently as you can and not become a different kind of rider. He needs that sense of continuity in your leadership. He needs to feel that not much has changed. That’s the best way to avoid undermining your horse’s performance at the last moment, and it requires that you not get caught up in “lastminute perfectionism.”

This can be a particularly tough challenge in a horse show practice ring, because it’s usually a hectic environment that makes it virtually impossible to accomplish your goals, never mind ride flawlessly. So you also need to adapt to the situation as best you can and adjust your expectations accordingly. You need to make good decisions about what you can accomplish and not get

obsessed about what you can’t control.

That’s the approach I took during that pre-dawn practice session at the national championships. By six o’clock, I had my horse relaxed and feeling good. We didn’t practice every little thing we’d have to accomplish in the show ring. More importantly, we got into a groove, a “flow,” in which everything seemed familiar and in balance.

Then I put him back in his stall and let him relax for the rest of the morning. I took a leap of faith and trusted we were ready for our big moment.

SHOW is a

P

Four Letter Word

aul Newman said, “If you’re playing a poker game and you look around the table and can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.”

This, my friends, is also true of showing horses. Or, actually, it’s more like this: “If you’re showing horses, no need to look around the stable for the sucker; it’s always going to be you.”

I was reminded of this when I pulled up to the show grounds recently. Propped in front of the pristine white signboard with green lettering that sedately pointed the way to the show arena was a hand lettered sign that said: Comedy Show.

Showing horses is a comical business, indeed. The only thing we can do is laugh at ourselves for the crazy things we do to keep up our addiction – er, hobby. Folks new to the show world ask things like, “My kid just started showing. How can I stop the financial bleeding?”

The rest of us fall over laughing. Because of course you can’t show horses and “stop the bleeding.” What you can do is learn to live without money, because your horses have first call on every available dollar.

I was one of those folks once, who thought I could “manage” my showing experience, budget, goals and so forth. After many years, I learned that there is a sublime set of natural laws at work, otherwise known as The Rules of the Horse Show. Commit these to memory, and you’ll be fine.

Rule #1: Outwit The Weather Everyone knows that predicting the weather is an uncertain science. But if you have a horse show coming up, you can know with 100% certainty what the weather will be that weekend: extreme. If it’s been hot, it will turn cold. If it’s been cold, it will turn sub-arctic, unless you packed for cold, and then it will be 115˚ in the shade. If it’s been dry, the monsoons will begin; if you live in a tropical zone, it will snow. The only option is to pack for all weather extremes. Do not even bother to check the weather forecasts.

For every show you go to, even if it’s close to your house, pack like Lewis and Clark. Put a full set of hot weather clothes in your car or suitcase, and a full set of Arctic Circle gear. Bring shorts, fleecelined jackets, sandals and mudboots. Same for your horses. Pack their blankets, coolers, sheets and hoodies, even if you’re going to the Gulf Coast in August. You never know. All you know for sure is the weather’s going to be a problem.

Rule #2: Endure The Food Perhaps somewhere, in some upper realm of horse showing that I haven’t yet attained, the food choices at the horse show are abundant, healthy and cheap. But at the shows I go to, the staple diet is candy and sodas supplemented by concession-stand food. Our horses eat ten times healthier than we do. They drink more water, too.

I don’t know what it is that compels us at a horse show to consume candy, sodas, and flat greasy hamburgers or warm-ish hotdogs in mushy buns. You might even bring healthy food with you; designer water full of electrolytes, organic granola, farm fresh veggies. But the

minute you unpack your things and settle in on the shedrow, you’re going to head for the staples: candy, sodas and concession food.

But wait, I’ve neglected a major beverage in the list above: coffee. I’ve often wondered why the big name coffee chains have not discovered how lucrative the horse show circuit would be. Between the 4:00 a.m. schooling sessions and the midnight stall checks, the horse arena should be at least as lucrative as the airports.

Oh, yeah, there’s one more item you’ll find yourself eating regularly at the horse shows: Tums.

Rule #3: Suffer The Accommodations Now, I have not had the pleasure of driving my own giant land barge into the show grounds to live in for several days, but from the luxury homes-on-wheels I’ve visited, this is the way to go. Except when the water freezes, or a/c goes out, the price of gas goes to $20/ gallon, the shower floods, or the bugs/wild critters/neighbors become a nuisance.

Instead, many of us go the hotel route. But, similar to the weather, expect the hotel to be a pain in the hindquarters. It’s usually too far to the show or in a strange part of town; the room is guaranteed to be too noisy, too light, too cold or warm. If you have kids staying with you, the hotel will be twice as uncomfortable, because either the accommodations are going to be unacceptable to the children, or the children are going to be unacceptable to you.

No one is going to get a good night’s sleep – thus, the need for coffee. So my advice is, the only thing you should look for in a hotel is a good free breakfast including gallons of hot, fresh coffee. At least you’ll get one meal that isn’t from the concession stand.

Rule #4: Pamper the Horses This is the most important rule of all. The horses must be pampered. If this means going without shoes, clothes, health supplements, hair care or sleep so your horse can have the same, so be it.

No matter how tired, sore, hungry, and grumpy you are, no effort can be spared to assure that your horse is rested, sound, well fed and happy. Yes, of course he has to work hard, but he is the rock star of the show and you are the road crew. The glory is his; the grind is yours. And he will thank you for it if you do your job well. When you see empty water and grain buckets to be filled and wet spots and manure piles to pick out of his stall, you will rejoice, for these signify his gratitude to you for a job well done – he’s eating, drinking, and excreting, so you’re ecstatic!

Horse show enthusiasts, the sooner you submit to these Rules of The Horse Show, the happier you – and more importantly, your horse – will be. See you at the in-gate!

COVER STORY

A Winning Partnership Bates and Wintec Saddles Offer the New Isabell Saddle

Isabell Werth and the Isabell Saddle, exclusive to Bates and Wintec Saddles, is a true success story.

The NEW Isabell Saddle is born from one of the industry’s most unique, enduring and successful equestrian partnerships in product development. It’s a refreshing story in today’s commercial world, as to how the world’s most successful dressage rider came to work with the world leaders (Bates Australia) in saddle innovation to create the biggest selling dressage saddle of all time – The Isabell Saddle.

It would surprise many that this partnership in saddle development spans over two decades, in fact Isabell was working alongside Wintec Saddles before her international dressage career had even really begun. Likewise for Wintec, she has been a loyal advocate and a constructive critic along their journey from launch in 1986 right through to where they are now, the biggest volume manufacturer of saddles under the one brand in the world. Isabell describes it as her “longest, oldest and most favorite partnership since becoming an international rider.”

Isabell’s first introduction to Wintec Saddles was through her trainer, Dr. Schulten Baumer, who was intrigued by the concept of an exceptionally lightweight hi-tech, synthetic saddle.

Their feedback on the wear of the saddles became instrumental in the design of the next generation of Wintec saddles. This was how, from an early age, Isabell actively participated in the testing and development of Wintec saddles. Her drive for perfection and her unique ability to communicate the needs of the rider and the horse, helped build a solid relationship with the research and development team. Together they went on to break new ground in dressage saddle design with the Isabell Saddle, renowned to be truly revolutionary and largely responsible for the deep seat dressage style that has become the norm among dressage competitors in the world today.

Ron Bates is the managing director of the parent company behind Bates and Wintec Saddles. Of their partnership with Isabell Ron says, “We are very privileged to work alongside a rider of Isabell’s caliber, her unsurpassed achievements in the world dressage arena are testament to her total dedication to perfection in all she does. Her approach to saddle design is no

The Isabell Saddle has undoubtedly been one of the most successful in the world and now the NEW Isabell Saddle is set to revolutionize dressage performance once again.

different and has ensured her saddle is truly revolutionary, taking the effort out of sitting in the correct position and seating the rider even closer to the horse for precise communication.” Her saddle has undoubtedly been one of the most successful in the world and now the NEW Isabell Saddle is set to revolutionize dressage performance once again.

Isabell believes that the saddle plays a vital role in her dressage. “My saddle is my office, and I sit in it from six to seven hours a day.” She understands rider comfort is paramount for meeting the high demands of serious dressage training and competition. Isabell describes the “perfect dressage seat” as one that gives the rider the feeling of sitting “in” the saddle and not “on” the saddle. It must also offer an exceptionally close and uninterrupted feel of the horse and aid the rider to effortlessly maintain a balanced, central position for effective execution of aids.

Likewise, Isabell believes her saddle plays an important role in effectively advancing her horses through their training levels and sustaining peak condition for competing at the highest level. “I must have a saddle that fits both horse and rider equally, which is why I am totally committed to Wintec and Bates saddles. Due to their innovative systems, they have the ultimate flexibility to be changed to fit any horse shape even as they develop with their training.” The CAIR® Cushion System is widely accepted as the ultimate performance panel available in saddles and together with the EASY-CHANGE™ Gullet System ensures the fit and comfort of all Isabell’s horses. “For my horses, I choose to only ride in saddles with CAIR®, as my horses have demonstrated to me the immense performance benefits it offers them. Knowing Spring 2011 ❙ Equine Journal Dateline 97

COVER STORY my horses are 100% comfortable enables us to realize our full potential.” It is testament to the fitting systems in Bates and Wintec that the one saddle can be adapted for a perfect fit on all the horses in her stable, despite their varied conformations.

The 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games was the perfect platform for the official launch of the NEW Isabell Saddle. The much anticipated saddle launch proved a major attraction to a trade village that boasted exhibitors from all around the world. Hundreds of lucky visitors to the trade village made the most of being among the first to see her new saddle and the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Isabell Werth. Delighted to meet her fans and talk about her new saddle launch, Isabell did not disappoint, personalizing autographs and having her photo taken with every last visitor that had queued up to meet her.

With unprecedented sales at launch, the NEW Isabell Saddle was a sell-out success at WEG. Customers were impressed with the new seat and closer contact offered by the new dressage saddle and in particular the major advancements in the fit and comfort of the horse. Having the unique choice of being available in the finest European leather, as the Bates Isabell for the ultimate in prestige and luxury, or the Wintec Isabell, with its lifestyle advantages of being lightweight, easy-care and weatherproof, ensured the saddle was a hit with customers, whatever their budget.

Isabell says, “Riders can trust in the performance of my saddle, it is the result of significant research and development delivering the ultimate dressage seat for the rider and unparalleled performance for the horse. I am confident in the competitive advantage it will offer you and that you will see a marked improvement in your performance as a result.”

In talking about the saddle development process Ron Bates says, “Riders at all levels are becoming more aware of

the importance of their saddle, its fit and the impact these have not only on their horse’s wellbeing but also subsequent performance, and are therefore becoming more discerning on what they rightly demand from their saddle.” He believes the key to success of Bates and Wintec saddles has been in identifying the changing needs of horses and riders and addressing these with truly innovative solutions that work. He also attributes their success to thorough research, employing every means available in evaluating the saddles, enlisting the services of experts in the fields of physics, veterinary care and saddle fitting to ensure confidence. “We will continue to develop products that put the welfare of the horse, as primary importance. We can assure you that we will continue to leave no stone unturned in setting industry benchmarks in saddle design with innovations that significantly improve both horse and rider performance. Our saddle ranges are state of the art and lead the field in technology providing a significant performance advantage for riders at all levels at unrivalled value for money.” It is these principles that led Isabell to us in the first place and what we have built upon to achieve the success we now Isabell Werth share. understands rider Isabell Werth has won six Olympic comfort is paramount gold medals, seven medals at World for meeting the high Championships, 14 medals at European demands of serious Championships and has held the title of dressage training and German Champion eight times, rightfully competition. earning the title “Dressage Queen” from Isabell was working her peers within the international dressage alongside Wintec community. People would be excused from Saddles before her being somewhat surprised to hear Isabell international dressage say, “My saddle is one of the proudest career had even really achievements of my dressage career,” that begun. is until they understand the depth of her involvement in its development.
