Local Equestrian Member of Bronze-Medal Team at Rio Olympics For Kasey Perry-Glass it’s all about visualizing your dreams to make them come true. The core theme of her dressage business is “Believe and it’s possible.” The Orangevale, CA, equestrian realized her lifelong dream by when she and her mother Diane Perry’s gelding Dublet were members of the 2016 U.S. Dressage Team that competed and won bronze in the Rio Olympic Games this summer.
Perry-Glass, 28, grew up in Sacramento, CA, as one of six siblings. She started riding at age five when she joined her mother and sisters in activities at a local barn. When her friends started jumping their horses, she became interested in trying work over fences too and for awhile she evented under the tutelage of Carmela Richards and Gina Miles.
By the time she was in high school she had decided to specialize in dressage full time and began training with Gina Duran at Topline Training, Livermore, CA. While she was studying for a degree in Business Entrepreneurship at California State University, Sacramento, she started riding with Christophe Theallet. Along the way she’s also had the opportunity to ride with dressage mentors Anne Gribbons and Andreas Helgstrand.
After meeting U.S. Olympian Debbie McDonald in 2015 while competing on the European circuit, Perry-Glass started riding with her full-time both at McDonald’s home base at River Grove Farm in Hailey, ID, and on the winter circuit in Wellington, FL. Dublet, whose full name is Goerklintgaard’s Dublet, is a 13-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding by Diamond Hit, out of La Costa by Olympic Ferro. He was imported by the Perry family in 2012 and Perry-
Glass and Dublet just clicked right away. She described Dublet, “He has the most gentle, loveable and playful personality. Yet at work he puts out 100 percent in effort and always focuses on the job. When he’s done working, he turns into a giant teddy bear, loving human interaction and, I must say, his naps. From the moment we bought Dublet, the Olympics were our goal. We knew he was special.”
They worked their way through the levels and in 2014 were invited to compete in the USEF Dressage Festival Of Champions at Intermediaire I where they placed sixth behind more seasoned pairs. In 2015 they continued competing at Prix St. Georges/Intermediaire I and moved into Grand Prix. By early 2016 they were consistently placing at Grand Prix on the Florida circuit and were selected in early May as one of nine pairs to travel to Europe to compete before being selected for the U.S. Team in late June.
At the Olympics in Rio Perry-Glass and Dublet put in two solid tests with scores of 75.229 percent in the Grand Prix and 73.235 percent in the Grand Prix Special to finish in 22nd place. They helped their team to a convincing bronze-medal win and enjoyed the medal ceremony festivities. She talked about the Olympic competition with Dublet, “We have a couple kinks to work out, but it's our first year and we moved up very fast. So, I have to give him credit on that for staying patient and really trusting me in the ring. My plan was just to give him a good experience.”
Perry-Glass’ support team, who call themselves “Team Believe” consist of her family; Mom Diane, Dad Robert, five siblings and her new husband Dana Glass, a farrier whom she married in October of 2015. She is also supported by many friends and her sponsors: Equine Omega Compete; Roeckl Sports; Summit Equine Nutrition, Trilogy Saddles, and Triple Crown Nutrition, Inc. Synopsis of Rio Olympic Equestrian Results
A rookie on the U.S. team and to Olympic competition, Kasey Perry-Glass, 29, Orangevale, CA, rode Diane Perry’s Dublet, a 13-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding to 22nd place in Rio. The Northern California native rode with her mother and sisters when she was young. She did some eventing, the decided when she was in high school to specialize in dressage. She now works closely with trainer Debbie McDonald and divides her time between Hailey, Idaho, in the summer and Wellington, Florida, in the winter. | Photo by Allen MacMillan/MacMillan Photography

Eventing: The U.S. Eventing Team for Rio 2016, which was shepherded by Chef d’equipe and Olympic gold medalist David O’Connor, included two Olympic veteran riders, Phillip Dutton, 52, West Grove, PA, riding Mighty Nice owned by the HND Group and Boyd Martin, 36, Cochranville, PA, riding Blackfoot Mystery owned by the Blackfoot Mystery Syndicate, and two Olympic rookies, Lauren Kieffer, 29, Middleburg, VA, riding Veronica owned by Team Rebecca, LLC and Clark Montgomery, 35, Tetbury, England (but originally from Texas), riding Loughan Glen owned by Holly and William Becker, Kathryn Kraft and Jessica Montgomery. The traveling reserves were Lynn Symansky, 33, Middleburg, VA, and Donner owned by the Donner Syndicate.
Team Medals in eventing were: France, gold; Germany, silver, and Australia, bronze. Unfortunately the U.S. Team did not finish when

Kieffer and Veronica had a fall on cross-country (both are fine) and Montgomery and Loughan Glen retired on course after two refusals and a rough trip.
(Loxahatchee, FL) with Patricia Stempel's Doktor, a 2003 Oldenburg gelding. Brock, Graves and Perry-Glass were all first-time Olympians while the Rio Olympics Games were Peters’ fourth.
Dressage: Besides the bronze medal for the U.S.A. the other team medal winners were: Germany, gold, and Great Britain, silver. Besides Perry-Glass and Dublet, the other U.S. Dressage Team members were: Allison Brock, 36, (Loxahatchee, FL) with Claudine and Fritz Kundrun's Rosevelt, a 2002 Hanoverian stallion; Laura Graves, 29, (Geneva, FL) and her own Verdades, a 2002 KWPN gelding, and Steffen Peters, 52, (San Diego, CA) with Four Winds Farm's Legolas 92, a 2002 Westphalian gelding, and traveling reserve Shelly Francis, 57,
Show Jumping: By now you probably know that the U.S. Show Jumping Team, under the guidance of Chef d’equipe Robert Ridland, performed very well and took the silver medal in commanding fashion finishing with a total of only five faults. They were just two points behind the team from France – a team which was on fire during the entire competition and only racked up three time faults over the two team final rounds to take gold. Team bronze went to Germany who won

In the race for individual eventing medals defending champions from the 2012 London Olympic Games, Michael Jung and Sam FBW, won their second consecutive gold medal. Astier Nichols from France riding Piaf de B’Neville captured silver. A bright spot for the U.S. Eventing Team was Dutton’s climb from 15th to third to take the individual bronze medal with Mighty Nice. Martin and Blackfoot Mystery also finished for the U.S.A. in 16th place overall.
In the individual competition Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro captured their second consecutive Olympic gold medal and it was announced that sometime soon the champion horse would retire while he was still on top. German rider Isabell Werth riding the Oldenburg mare Weihegold OLD took silver with her teammate Kristina Bröring-Sprehe riding the Hanoverian stallion Desperados FRH taking the bronze. Americans Graves and Verdades finished a close fourth, with Peters and Legolas 92 in 12th, and Brock and Rosevelt in 15th

out over Canada in a jump-off for bronze.
The U.S. Show Jumping Team for Rio consisted of two Olympic veterans and two first-time Olympians. The veterans were Beezie Madden, 52, Cazenovia, NY, riding Abigail Wexner's Cortes 'C', a 2002 Belgian Warmblood gelding, and McLain Ward, 41, Brewster, NY, riding Double H Farm and Francois Mathy's HH Azur, a 2006 Belgian Warmblood mare. Their two Olympic rookie team members were Lucy Davis, 23 Los Angeles,, CA, and Old Oak Farm's Barron, a 2004 Belgian Warmblood gelding, and Kent Farrington, 35, Wellington, FL, and Amalaya Investments' Voyeur, a 2002 Dutch Warmblood gelding.
In the individual show jumping competition, a six-way jump-off determined the medals. Great Britain’s Nick Skelton and the Dutch Warmblood stallion Big Star took the gold, Sweden’s Peder Fredricson and All In won silver, and Canada’s Eric Lamaze and Fine Lady captured bronze. The other three competitors in the jump-off were: Sheikh Ali Al Thani riding First Devision, Qatar; Farrington riding Voyeur, U.S.A., and Steve Guerdat riding Nino des Buissonnets (his gold medal Olympic partner in London in 2012), Switzerland.
The U.S.A.’s Farrington and Voyeur, who had jumped clear in every round over the four days of competition up to the jump-off, dropped two rails to finish fifth. Americans Ward riding Azur and Davis riding Barron finished in ties for 9th and 32nd respectively. U.S. Team anchor rider Beezie Madden released a statement that her mount Cortes ‘C’ had injured a tendon and had to be withdrawn before the start of the third day.

Competing on her fourth consecutive U.S. Olympic Team Beezie Madden, 52, Cazenovia, NY, rode Cortes ‘C’, a 2002 Belgian Warmblood gelding owned by Abigail Wexner, in Rio. Just two years ago Cortes ‘C’ was named the Best Horse at the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Madden and Cortes were anchor pair for the U.S. team, but their Olympic Games were cut short when he incurred a slight injury to a tendon on the second day of competition and they had to withdraw. | Photo by Allen MacMillan/MacMillan Photography

Loosen the girth and take him back to the barn. With repetition, he will learn that he has no reason to fear the arena. The worst thing you could do at this point would be to get the horse in the arena and then work him really hard. That would prove to him that his fear of going in the arena Photo courtesy of Darrel Dodds was correct. Once you’ve built the horse’s confidence about going in the arena, you can start working him there. However, this is a problem that requires regular maintenance. Don’t be surprised if it comes up again. If you compete in timed events, you may be able to put three good runs on your horse before he starts getting anxious about going into the arena. At that time, you’ll need to practice the method I just outlined.

change directions. The more you change directions, the more he’ll use the thinking side of his brain. Some examples of exercises you can use are serpentines, rollbacks or cantering circles. You’ll be wasting your time if you let the horse drag his feet and daydream about his next meal. Make him hustle his feet and give him a reason to want to go in the arena and relax. Work the horse for 15 to 20 minutes away from the arena and then take him into the arena and let him rest. Initially, you might only be able to bring the horse within 90 feet of the arena. While the horse is resting, rub him and let him relax. After letting him rest for 10 minutes, go back to working him 150 feet away from the arena again for another 15 to 20 minutes.

What it Means to Train a Horse Using Dressage Principles Part 2 Last month we covered the need for a solid forward cue, a responsive stop, a smooth back up, follow through and consistency. These are basic training principles needed for any discipline. The following principles relate to cowboy/western dressage and are also beneficial for all riding disciplines. The horse must be relaxed and fluid.
The movements discussed last time are just the beginning level. If you are familiar with my Four Sided Pyramid of Training, these aspects are part of the physical side of training. All of these movements and the exercises that teach these movements must be accomplished with the horse relaxed and moving smoothly. If the horse is tense and concerned about the environment it will be stiff and its movements will be awkward rather than graceful and fluid.
To be relaxed, the horse must be emotionally sound and this is the mental aspect of my Four Sided Pyramid of Training. The horse must be focused on the rider engaged and waiting for the next cue. This is what I call the horse having his “business ears” on. A horse is not engaged when it is distracted, looking around and reacting to every new or little thing. While there will always be something that can set a horse off, we must teach the horse that even if it is concerned, it must listen to the cues.
Part of responding to the cues is muscle memory, in other words, at a light cue the horse should respond automatically, Sometimes people get upset about the time it takes to thoroughly teach a cue. The length of time it takes depends on the mentality of the horse or how trainable it is, how much emotion is involved, as well as your standards and expertise, including your consistency in giving the cue. If you are not consistent with the way you give the cue and/or your expectations of the horse’s response to the cue, it will take longer and you will need more repetition. Your cue must be precise and it must become a muscle memory for the horse. We want a horse with spirit and expression.
Spirit and expression are also classic dressage principles. I don’t want a horse with lifeless eyes and no energy in its movement. I see this a lot, unfortunately. Horses like this may be obedient but there is no spirit and they are dull with no life. We want life in the feet and in the eyes.
If you have life in the eyes there will be life in the feet. No matter what the horse is used for, show, reining, or simply trail riding, we want it to be expressive. This means the horse has a good attitude, likes its job and this will produce an energy that will result in better movement. Suppleness is a major principle in dressage.
I want a horse that is supple, in other words, soft in the body. You will not have a nice, relaxed, fluid movement if the horse is stiff in the body. A horse that is cued properly but does not move smoothly may have a health issue. Good health and nutrition make up another side of my Four Sided Training Pyramid and they are very important to the performance of any horse.
A horse that moves stiffly or has trouble maintaining a lead my need a chiropractic treatment. Horses in pasture often roll to achieve relief but a horse this is in a stall may not have room or the misalignment may be too severe for a good roll to relieve it. The dental care of a horse is also very important. A horse that cannot chew properly does not get the full benefit of its feed. Also, he horse may resist taking a bit because it is painful A horse that is not show/trimmed or has been shod improperly may look sound, walk and trot sounds, but be uncomfortable. Horses can be very stoic creatures and they can put up with a lot. When I have a horse like this shod and the horse perks right up, I know it was uncomfortable. A comfortable horse can express itself and have a more fluid movement.
If you want a supple horse, it is critical to do each exercise correctly. Doing an exercise correctly will cause the horse to exert itself properly and use the correct muscles. When you are doing an exercise with purpose and the horse is engaged, you will see business ears. I work with a horse until I see some improvement, even if it is only a little. While I am a great believer in working a horse until it breaks a sweat, you need to know your horse and be careful if the horse has a high emotional level. This type of horse will break a sweat with very little work because it is nervous. You need to work through the issue as a horse that is stressed out cannot learn. Doing the exercises correctly.
Training your horse correctly is a long-term journey and learning experience for you bother. It does not happen overnight. For example, today in class we were working with the cones and leg yields. Some riders try so hard to go through each set of cones that they forget the process and try to shove or drag their horses through the cones. It is better to set the horse up properly, get the horse straight and relaxed, even if you miss two or three cones, and then get one good leg yield through the last set. Having done the exercise correctly is much more important than going through all of the cones poorly. When this exercise is done correctly, the horse is straight, relaxed, soft to your hands and responsive to your legs. The horse moves over one or two steps smoothly, without you trying to steer or drag it. Then, you cue the horse to move forward and you are ready to leg yield again. You ultimate goal is to leg yield smoothly through all the cones but if you try to push and shove the horse, the movement will not be fluid. When the exercise is done correctly, the horse will be relaxed, supple, and the brain with be engaged because you are consistent

and focused on the actions. This also helps you to establish a relationship with your horse. The correctness of the exercise is going to set the horse up to display the kind of obedience you want. The length of time it takes to accomplish this depends on how easily the horse is trained, the amount of time you spend training, and your ability to have the horse do the exercise correctly.
Another classical dressage principle is balance.
Riders try to get collection but many can’t get their horses to be balanced, which must happen first. The shoulders should not be dropping in or bulging out as you complete a circle. The horse should not be heavy on the front end which is caused by a dropped or bulging shoulder. The horse must learn to go forward by getting up under himself. If the horse does not drive from the rear, it will be on the forehand and heavy in front. It takes teamwork for the horse and rider to be balanced. If the rider is not balanced, the horse cannot be balanced. The rider cannot lean or pull on the reins. Even one pound of pressure caused by looking down can alter the performance of the horse. The rider must help the horse to come from behind and up under himself. As the leader in the relationship with your horse, you must set the standard, follow through and release immediately when the horse responds correctly. The response may not be perfect, but if the horse shows a significant try, release the pressure and praise your horse. Gymnastic exercises can help with balance and agility. For example, I have used reining maneuvers with warm bloods in a back up and roll over the hocks maneuver. The ideas of backing up and rolling over the hocks is when you back the horse, roll to the right (or left), then ask the horse to pivot on the hindquarters. Open up the inside rein and close the outside aids (left rein and leg) as the horse is backing up. Do not
stop or pause. The neat thing about this exercise is that gymnastically, as you are backing the horse, the horse is naturally coming under himself, with his weight shifted to the rear. Maintain the back up as you do the 180-degree turn with the weight shifted to the rear, then walk or trot off with energy. Doing this will teach the horse to use the hocks. If you back up, stop and do a 180-degree turn, the horse will learn the maneuver but it will not be keeping the hocks engaged. This is a prime example of doing an exercise but not doing it correctly and not building true skill and muscle memory.
You can shorten your training time and really gain from the exercises when you understand how to do them correctly and utilize the principles. The principle in this exercise is that you are asking the horse to roll over as it is backing. The horse is loading up and maintaining the load as it backs and as you drive it forwards. This builds balance, agility and muscle memory.
When you do this exercise you will notice the neck and ears become very engaged. The brain is engaged when the ears are on you. They may rotate right and left paying attention to the environment but they will return to you asking “What’s next?” Some riders associate the ears being back as the horse being mad. There is a difference between the ears being pinned in anger and being back waiting for your next command or, as I can them “business ears.”
The concepts we have been discussing are all good principles, good schooling and gymnastic exercises for any discipline. Done properly, they will result in the horse being relaxed and engaged. A horse with good forward movement, one that responds to a light cue, and that is relaxed and supple, is a joy to ride whether or not you compete in western/cowboy dressage or any other discipline.

For the rider, her obsession for stopping was about wanting to make sure she had control. Ironically, she would have far more control (and far less emotionality) by letting the horse move forward.
The Answer
When I got on the big, warmblood gelding, my plan was to move him out at a strong trot, changing directions frequently and flexing his neck a lot, to get some of his forward energy in check. He was very responsive and it wasn’t too long before I was the one pushing him forward and he was thinking slower might be nice. When I felt he was ready, I reached way forward with both my hands, sat on his back and then gently started moving my seat in the canter rhythm. His first transition with the new canter cue was a bit exuberant, some might say explosive. He crow hopped and offered a small buck. But in just a few strides, he settled into a lovely working canter in a soft and rounded frame.
At that moment, I knew my initial suspicions were correct. He had been afraid of the transition. He wasn’t unwilling to canter. A soft cue and teaching him that I would not touch him with my rein aids allowed him to gain confidence and start to trust me. With each subsequent transition from trot to canter, he was smoother and smoother as he came to understand two important things. First, that I would not hit him in the mouth or snatch up the reins when he did what I asked (me reaching extra far forward with my hands as part of the cue was my promise of that). Secondly, I would not “yell” at him (over cue) when I asked for the canter.
Turned out that the Reach-Sit-Pump cue was fine for him—he required no leg aid and hardly any seat aid to canter. Soon, the horse was stepping nicely into the canter with a very relaxed back when I reached and sat (no pumping of the seat required). He quickly gave his trust to me; horses are amazing that way—if you change the way you are doing things, they come right along with you. Learning to Trust
Pioneer Tack
Getting him to trust his owner, and her to trust him, was a greater challenge. It is a huge dilemma; when you are riding a horse that feels too fast and you have visions in your head of the horse running away with you, it is very hard to give him his freedom and let him move forward. But that is exactly what the horse needed. Time and time again, when horses are going too fast, loosening of the reins is what causes them to slow down. But it takes a lot of willpower, when you are afraid, to trust the horse and give him his freedom.

You have to analyze and understand the problem, figure out the solution and then summon the courage to execute the solution. Breaking old dynamics is very hard but the outcome can be extremely rewarding, as it was in this case.

The All-In-One Bitless Bridle as Seen in the Movie “Brother Nature” It has been two years in the making and finally the movie Brother Nature, formerly known as Brother In-Laws, is debuting September 9, 2016. I had been contacted by a respected Hollywood animal trainer asking if I could provide horses for a Lorne Michaels film being shot at Lake of the Woods in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I had one week to find, work with, and deliver on-time two horses for this SNL cast of characters that includes actors Bill Pullman, and Rita Wilson. I got lucky tapping two horses already in Klamath Falls owned by two young men who happen to be my husband’s cousins - it was meant to be! After two days on-set the final shoot with the horses had a midnight call which I freaked out about on the phone with the assistant producer “how am I supposed to walk the horses from the road down the long driveway to the lake in the black of night?” I protested. Well when we showed up the entire road and driveway were lit up with high voltage lighting to the hum of generators running – the horses unloaded and walked down to the set without a flinch. We were on-set for 6 hours that night and had to move the horses from one location to the next keeping them out of the
background between scenes, but what amazing horses these two mares were navigating expensive and complicated equipment, wires, cables, lights etc. with people and contraptions all around us. Both horses did their jobs beautifully in the All-In-One Bitless Bridle which you can see in the official trailer online at bit.ly/brothernature at the 1:30 mark. The horses had difficult scenes at times as you’ll see in the trailer & movie, but the cast was wonderful gathering around afterwards to calm and nurture the horses letting them know they did a great job.

hORSEMAN’S BOOKShELF THE PErFECT HOrsE: The Daring Mission to rescue the Priceless stallions Kidnapped by the nazis
UnrELEnTinG The Real Story: Horses, Bright Lights, and My Pursuit of Excellence
by Elizabeth Letts
by George H. Morris, with Karen Robertson Terry
August 23, 2016, Ballantine Books Hardcover In the last chaotic days of World War II, at the farthest edge of the Allied Front, a small group of battle weary American soldiers captured a German spy with an incredible story to tell. Just over the Czechoslovakian border, sheltered on a secret farm, Hitler had stockpiled the finest European purebred horses in order to breed the perfect military machine--a pure blooded, quintessentially
German, equine master race. Elizabeth Letts, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Eighty Dollar Champion, now uncovers the riveting true story of the valiant rescue of these priceless pedigree horses in the last days of World War II in THE PERFECT HORSE, The Daring U.S. Mission to rescue the Priceless stallions Kidnapped by the nazis. As the Russians closed in on Hitler from the east and the Allies attached from the west, and with the support of U.S. general George S. Patton, a passionate equestrian, the Americans planned an audacious mission to kidnap these beautiful animals and smuggle them into safe territory--assisted by a daring Austrian colonel who was both a former Olympian and a trainer of the famous Lipizzaner stallions. With only hours to spare, one of the Army’s last great horsemen, American colonel Hank Reed, led the secret rescue operation with a small but determined force of soldiers, aided by a small group of turncoat Germans, and ventured across enemy lines in a last ditch effort to save the horses. THE PErFECT HOrsE weaves together the strands of this remarkable story. From Hitler’s expert on “pure blood” whose theories of selective breeding applied to both people and horses, to the Austrian Olympian, Director of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, who donned a German uniform to keep his stallions safe; to the American cavalrymen who spent years training on horseback only to gallop to war aboard tanks and Jeeps, Letts brings to life an almost forgotten time--when horses were as valuable as crown jewels and solidiers would stop at nothing to save them. In this incredible, little-known story, never before told in its entirety, men wearing the uniforms of warring countries, united only by their love for horses, came together in a dramatic act of derringdo that saved one of the world’s great equestrian and cultural treasures. About the Author Elizabeth Letts is the New York Times bestselling author of the The Eighty-Dollar Champion, and two novels, Quality of Care and Family Planning. A competitive equestrian in her youth, Letts rode for California in the North American Junior Three-Day Eventing Championships. She currently lives in Southern California.
Trafalgar Square Books March 15, 2016 560 pp, 255 photographs $35.00 hardcover Carouser, competitor, taskmaster, dreamer, teacher, and visionary, George Morris has been ever-present on the rarified stage of the international riding elite for most of the 70 years he’s been in the saddle. He has represented our country as an athlete and a coach and, at one time or another, instructed many of our nationals best horsemen and women. His carefully chosen, perfectly enunciated words are notoriously powerful. They can raise you up or cut you to the quick. His approval can be a rainmaker, his decision can end a career. But as much as people know and respect (or, perhaps, fear) the public face of George Morris, he has lived, in other ways, a remarkably private life, keeping his own personal struggles--with insecurity, ambition, and love--behind closed doors. It is only now that he has chosen, in his own words, to share the totality of his life--the very public and incredibly private--with the world. The engrossing autobiography, the real story of the godlike George Morris, beautifully demonstrates his ultimate humanity. Raised in the affluent New York City suburbs in the forties and fifties, GEORGE MORRIS was magnetically attracted to horses from an early age. It was a time when riding was popular with the New York social set, and with his family part of the old guard, his marked interest in equestrian sport was encouraged. Morris soon set himself apart as ambitious and talented in the saddle, and in 1952, at the remarkable age of fourteen, he won two of the most esteemed competitions at Madison Square Garden, making him the youngest rider to do so. After a hiatus from horses when he studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theatre on East Fifty-Fourth Street in New York City, Morris went on to earn an astounding number of medals for the United States in international and Olympic competition, both in the saddle and as a coach. He has ridden with and taught many well-known people, from Nancy Lissinger and Tab Hunter to Georgina Bloomberg and Athina Onassis--and, when staying with Doris Duke, even gave a first riding lesson to Imelda Marcos! Karen Robertson Terry is a freelance writer. After growing up riding and showing on the east coast and outside Chicago, Karen spent several years in New York City, which taught her how much she needed horses in her life. She continues to ride and show in the jumpers, along with the occasional trail ride.
