2017 Omaha FEI World Cup Dressage and Longines WC Show Jumping Finals By Kim MacMillan
The best in the world in dressage and show jumping came to Omaha for five days of competition at Omaha’s Centurylink Center from March 29 – April 2, 2017. Dressage riders from 13 countries and show jumping riders from 18 nations made the trek to Omaha to contend for the championships of the international indoor circuit. Though the U.S. has hosted the finals several times, this was the first time that the FEI World Cup Finals have been contested in the Midwest. A total attendance of 52,119 over the four days enjoyed the competition as well as the shopping area which offered over 140 vendors, a number of dining options, live entertainment, the Equus Film Festival, and educational exhibits and children’s activities. Some of the shopping and dining was arranged around the warm-up arena styled after many European venues to allow the crowds to enjoy a close-up look at the competitors as they schooled. The Omaha World Cup Organizing Committee, the Omaha Equestrian Foundation and the host facility, the Centurylink Center, all received rave reviews for their efforts in bringing the World Cup to Omaha. Riders, FEI officials, judges and competitors all praised the event with many saying it was the “best World Cup ever.” 8 | www.nwrider.com
Anne Gribbons, FEI dressage rider and president of the ground jury (the judges and officials) for the World Cup Dressage Final was very enthusiastic in her praise for the Omaha Finals during the last press conference, “For sure, it is the perfect place [to hold a World Cup Finals.] I talked to the World Cup [discipline] managers and they had absolutely nothing but praise for the venue, for the way it was organized, for the way that the horses were cared for… and that they also had help to find what they needed. I do believe that it is going to continue to be a place that everybody wants to see. And look how we filled the place; the audience was amazing. It was like any show in Europe. It was just full tonight.”
Isabell Werth made a point in the final dressage press conference to acknowledge Lisa Roskens, who was the point lady behind the bid for Omaha to host the World Cup Finals, and to show her appreciation for the organizers of the event. “Everybody — the horses, the grooms, the riders — were very welcome here. It’s a great venue and it was fantastically organized. For us, there was nothing to change. The facility was perfect. Thank you for making the show here. Thank you Lisa Roskens, maybe a bit of a vision came true here. It was a big challenge to bring the World Cup to Omaha and I think it was one of the best finals,” she concluded.
WESTERN U.S. ENTRIES IN WORLD CUP Two of the 16 dressage competitors, and two of the three American dressage representatives at the World Cup, were from the Western United States: Kasey-Perry Glass, 30, who grew up in Northern California and now hails from Hailey, Idaho, and Wellington, Florida, as she trains with Debbie McDonald, who rode her mother Diane’s the 14-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding Goerklintgaards Dublet who finished 7th, and Steffen Peters, 53, who is originally from Germany, but has resided for many years in San Diego, California, who rode the 10-year-old Rhinelander mare Rosamunde owned by Four Winds Farm who finished 9th.

OMAHA WELCOMES THE WORLD Omaha has been preparing to host horses, riders and visitors from around the world since they won the bid to host the 2017 finals in the summer of 2014. Members of the Omaha Equestrian Foundation, Omaha city and Nebraska state officials, and the World Cup Omaha organizers played to their strengths to land the bid and host a successful competition: their famous Midwestern hospitality and pioneer “can-do” spirit; a world-class facility in the Centurylink Center; much experience in hosting large sporting events (Besides Creighton University basketball games, Omaha is home to the College Baseball World Series each year and has hosted the U.S. National Team Olympic Swimming Trials several times.); an airport that is under 10 minutes away from the Centurylink; an area rich in history, natural resources, art and Fortune 500 businesses; and a plethora of hotels, dining and entertainment options.
"Also, with this event we'll have several thousand people coming to Nebraska to visit us here and the economic impact on the state will be worth about 50 million dollars,” continued Ricketts, “We're thrilled to have this chance to host so many visitors to our state and give them a good reason to come back again."
When 37 of the competition horses from overseas finally touched down at the Omaha airport early in the week, Nebraska governor Pete Ricketts was there to welcome them, along with members of the media and officials from the World Cup Omaha Organizing Committee and Omaha Equestrian Foundation.
“We are honored to host the FEI World Cup Finals. It is truly exciting for us because this is the first professional world championship we have hosted here in Nebraska," said Governor Ricketts. "Nebraska is more than just lines on a map. We're bound together by more than just our common geography. It's a culture and a way of life.”

THE COMPETITION One of the first World Cup activities in Omaha, the “draw party” to determine the starting order for the first classes in both disciplines, really set a positive tone for what was to come the rest of the week. This activity can be fairly mundane, but in Omaha it was held in the Henry Doorly Zoo’s Imax Theater and Aquarium, where after a cocktail hour the party attendees watched entertaining banter between the riders selected to draw and the Master of Ceremonies on the Imax stage and screen, and then strolled through the fish tanks and shark encounter exhibit enjoying drinks, hors d’oeuvres and live music after the draw. The innovative twist on the draw for order of go was touted by many as “the best draw party ever.”

Saturday night as the World Cup jumping competitors had the evening off, the Centurylink Center hosted The International Omaha Jumping Grand Prix. Fourteen horse and rider combinations from nine different countries started over the 1.60-meter in height course designed by Alan Wade of Ireland. Four pairs completed the course with no faults and came back for a jump off eventually won by Belgium’s Nicola Philippaerts and the 10-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding H&M Harley von den Bisschop, who sailed around the second course without incurring any faults. Lorenzo de Luca from Italy riding the 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Limestone Grey took second and Germany’s Ludger Beerbaum and the 14-year-old Holsteiner mare Chiara finished third. American rider Karl Cook finished fourth on Tembla, a 13-yearold German mare. Other U.S. riders finished in this order: Audrey Coulter took sixth place on Alex; Jamie Barge took eighth on Luebbo, and Jennifer Gates, Medina, Washington, placed ninth on Bardolino.

Three Common Mistakes that Erode Your Horse’s Trust Horses know good leadership when they see it because their lives depend upon it. We probably all agree that the ultimate relationship with a horse is one in which the horse looks up to you, wants to be with you and feels safe and peaceful in your presence. But all the groundwork and relationship building exercises in the world won’t help you develop this relationship unless you present yourself as a competent leader at all times.
In every clinic that I teach, people ask how they can get their horse to trust them more, yet I see them constantly doing things that show their horses that they lack judgment and make poor decisions. It’s funny that horses see this so clearly, but humans—not so much.
Your job as the leader is to watch out for the safety of your followers. Every time you give a horse a reason to question your judgment-because you’ve put him in a situation he perceives as unsafe--you’re chipping away at his faith in you.
Here are three common mistakes I see people making every day with their horses that give the horse good reasons not to trust their judgment and leadership. Watch for these mistakes closely the next time you interact with your horse; make sure that you are the leader your horse deserves.
Putting the Horse on a Collision Course
An obedient riding horse goes in the direction you dictate, at the speed you set, without argument. The problem is that horses are much more spatially aware than humans. Horses worry about the other horses in the arena and they expect the leader to watch ahead and prevent any potential horse-to-horse collision or conflict. Most people are so consumed with themselves, that they are oblivious to their surroundings, including what the other horses are doing. Your horse always recognizes your lack of awareness, because his safety depends upon it. He sees the hazard even when you don’t.
I often see this when people are longeing or circling in an arena where there are other horses. First of all, let’s be clear on this, longeing a horse in an arena where horses are being ridden is dangerous and should never happen—that’s a pretty basic safety rule. At clinics, when everyone is doing circling work (and no horses are being ridden), people will still put their horses on a collision course with another horse. The horse always sees it; the person seldom does. If you do this, your horse starts doubting your judgment.
I also see this in the arena when all riders have their own agendas. The smart riders (and the good leaders) are looking well ahead. But invariably, there will be riders totally focused down on the horse’s withers, concentrating only on themselves, not even aware of their own horse let alone the other horses in the arena. Being aware of danger in the environment is such a basic job of the leader that it is hard for your horse to think of you that way when you are failing at such a basic task. Putting the Horse Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Your horse may view any given situation much differently than you and he sees danger where you may not. We, as humans, tend to analyze, rationalize and justify the situation, while to your horse it’s simple—it’s either safe or not. I often see riders and handlers put their horses in very precarious situations, with seemingly no awareness that it was risky for the horse. Perhaps the rider had no awareness of how the horse views the situation. Or perhaps the rider made an executive decision to override instinct and go into an unsafe situation anyway because her logic tells her it’s safe (logic that the horse may not possess). This happens at my clinics while we are working on teaching the horse to step back with a subtle hand signal. I always catch people backing their horse into a solid fence or worse, another horse. He knows it to be wrong and unsafe. People get so caught up in the exercise of teaching the hand signal, that they lose all awareness of the surroundings and abdicate all responsibility for leadership.
Similar examples from the ground include asking a horse to step into a trailer, then standing right in front of him so he would have to bowl you over in order to comply. He’s pretty sure he’s not supposed to do that. Or asking the horse to trot on the lead line, but remaining right in front of him so there’s nowhere for him to go without running into you. It feels like a trap.
When riding in a group, it’s your job to keep your horse safe. Still, I see riders pass between a horse and the fence. Entrapment! There’s a reason fundamental safety rules exist—and it’s a fundamental rule to never pass between a horse and the rail. Horses can be very opportunistic when it comes to aggressive behavior and many horses will kick, given this opportunity. Your horse knows that as well and he has good reason to question your judgment when he is the one that will likely take the blow. 12 | www.nwrider.com

Walk–Trot–Canter
Many strength-building plans get derailed when strength develops in places other than the preferred ones. This happens especially in the case of existing postural habits or muscle memories. When a horse enters a training routine, he tends to increase strength first in his dominant areas, the places often hindering correct and symmetrical use of his body. Even with well-laid plans, habits like crookedness and gait irregularity, or just weakness in general, can take longer than necessary to fix. Depending on the challenges of balance or posture for your horse, it often helps to re-evaluate how much time you spend in each gait.
Each of the horse’s gaits offers a different training effect. Knowing how and when to prioritize one over the other prevents horses getting stuck in their physical development. Optimally, horses should spent equal time in all three gaits during training sessions in order to achieve both looseness and strength. But certain phases sometimes necessitate prioritizing one.
As a general rule, use exercises at the walk to recruit and pattern the nervous system. Use trot exercises for increasing overall tonicity and a strong topline. Rely on canter exercises to loosen the musculoskeletal system and prevent restriction in joint motions and soft tissue. The Walk
Any time a horse needs to un-learn a poor postural habit—crookedness, stiffness, hollowness—he should spend plenty of time training at the walk. This gait, especially when used in conjunction with ground poles, allows for training the nervous system to adopt new habits without interference from the larger gymnastic muscles that can try to take over during gaits with more energy. It ensures recruitment and development of slow-twitch postural muscles responsible for stabilizing and adjusting the horse’s balance while he is in motion, allowing his gymnastic muscles to remain free to do the job they are designed for: move the horse across the ground.
At the walk, riders can re-wire signals to sensory and motor nerves, increase range of joint mobility, and thereby release restriction from muscles with stored bad habits. When the nervous system is correctly wired for the slow-twitch postural muscles to do their job, the horse can move more freely and gain conditioning correctly. As an example, horses with short choppy trot strides could prioritize riding exercises at the walk to develop more flexion in their stifles and hock joints. Then their quadriceps and flexor muscles will begin to engage more, which in turn leads to longer, more springy trot strides.
Riders sometimes fret they are not accomplishing much by schooling at the walk. To the contrary, walking trains the body for better movement patterns. These patterns can then be sustained at higher speeds and more range of motion.
The Trot
The best gait for improving overall cardiovascular and strength gains, trot develops topline tone and function of the muscles that move the horse across the ground. During trot, a horse’s back serves as a balancing rod to support the diagonal action of his limbs, thus requiring that it be firm. This firmness can translate to needed strength for a horse with laxity in his musculature, but it can also unfortunately become the kind of strength accompanied by rigidity. When a horse is not confirmed— 14 | www.nwrider.com
and relaxed—in correct body posture habits, these large muscles try to multi-task. They attempt to do both the job of supporting a posture and creating limb movement. Muscles cannot play dual roles like this. They become hard and tense. Make a habit of feeling your horse’s muscles as he becomes stronger to be sure they maintain elasticity.
Unfortunately, when a horse has an ingrained poor postural habit (crookedness, hollowness, over-flexion), a lot of trotting will only strengthen it. In this case, time is better spent by using small amounts of trot for cardiovascular and circulatory well-being but schooling with ample walking and cantering exercises to recruit better postural muscles before increasing strength in the gymnastic muscles with sustained trotting bouts. Cavalletti patterns, with poles spaced no further than his normal trot stride, ensure the horse organizes his body and rhythm as he develops the trot. They regulate his stride and assist him to move with precise height, length, and speed of stride. This allows his postural and gymnastic muscle systems to maintain harmony with each other while strengthening. The Canter
Learn to love the canter. This is a mantra I find myself using in clinics. Many riders, atop horses that rush or cross-fire or give a rough ride at the canter, tend to leave the gait alone and assume that as other gaits improve, so too will the canter. But this plan often does not work. The walk and trot mechanics become stronger while the canter remains undeveloped, which is a shame when considering the physiological payoffs that come from cantering.
Even in the case of less than ideal canters, the physical benefits for the horse are huge. Cantering improves your horse’s body symmetry and musculature in ways the other two gaits cannot. Why? It creates unrivaled flexibility in the lumbar sacral joint, an area prone to tension that affects a horse’s ability to round his topline and therefore engage his hindquarters. Greater flexion and looseness in the lumbar-sacral joint means the horse’s whole back can transmit energy from the hind legs, allowing them to engage further underneath the body. In walk and trot, there is only minimal movement in this region. At canter, both hind legs swing forward together, thereby rocking the pelvis. Moreover, in canter the forelimbs push the front end upwards to create a moment of suspension. This upward thrust causes a trampoline-like movement in his torso between his scapulae, which can help it—and them—free up areas of tight tissue.
Researchers to date have measured contractions of the long back muscles to be fullest and strongest in the canter. Unlike in trot, these contractions are followed by a momentary release, creating a nice pumping quality in the muscle that can prevents it from over-tensing or bunching up. Especially in the case of horses with asymmetrical development or difficulties lifting their backs because of stiffness or a pattern of bracing, cantering is a vital tool. Also for horses that ‘block’ their backs or tighten up when asked to come on the bit, cantering is an asset. It is possible to educate muscles and build strength without cantering but that strength will lack the agility and looseness through the spine that consistent canter workouts offer. Obviously, a well-balanced horse and training program includes equal ratios of time daily in each gait. But as I have shown above, many times a particular phase of a horse’s development should skew in favor of an individual gait, depending on what issues arise. When schooling your horse, take time to consider whether the issues you face stem from the need to strengthen his postural or his gymnastic muscles. Let the answer guide you in choosing the amount of time in each gait.

Rescued and Abused Horses
I know a good deal about this subject as I have rescued many, many horses over the years. There are a number of different situations that lead to a horse or horses needing to be rescued. Some reasons are more obvious than others. I have some actual examples of situations where I have been involved. There are a lot of things that we can call abuse and rescue a horse from. I do some performance training but many of the horses I work with are here for re-schooling based on behavioral problems.
The primary reason that a horse needs to be rescued is probably that the owner can no longer afford to take care of the horse. The person does not have the money to maintain the care and custody of the horse. This type of situation dramatically increased during the economic turn down a few years ago. I have also rescued horses once where the cause was misuse of the funds for feed and care of the animals. When the husband passed away the wife, who did not live on the property with the horses, was giving her son money for feed and he was blowing it on cocaine. There were more than twenty-five horses that were in pretty bad shape as the pasture had

been mostly eaten. I took home a beautiful double bred Poco Bueno stallion, another stallion that was a proven cutter, a couple of geldings and a mare which turned out to be a fabulous horse. I rescued a couple of horses a few years ago when the husband, who was a breeder, passed away and the family didn’t know what to do with young stock and didn’t have the funds to provide medical care.
Several years ago while I was in Spokane, Washington at an Expo called Ride The West, I came across a different type of rescue situation. I was specifically asked to handle a three-year-old filly belonging to a woman who had been following my work for years. She had rescued the filly from the original owner who had just left the horse out in pasture for a couple of years. The filly was down on weight and totally uncared for because the original owner did not have the horsemanship experience or knowledge to know how to handle the horse. A horse is only a byproduct of us, meaning what we know and what we don’t know. The horse becomes a mirror image of our knowledge.
Once the new owner got the horse healthy again she found it very hard to work with because the horse was aggressive. In every horse/owner relationship, one is the leader. In this case, because the owner didn’t know how to handle her, the filly would step into the woman’s space. This is an assumption on my part based on what the filly was doing to me. The owner would step away and the horse would just keep coming. It wasn’t a life-threatening situation, but it was certainly unsafe. The lady brought the horse to the Expo for me to work and I started trying
to teach it some basic halter or ground manners. I found that the horse was not even truly halter broken and learned the woman had had a very difficult time even getting the horse into the trailer. As I worked the horse, she continually crowded me and if I asked her to back off, she would rear up and try to come over the top of me, close enough to knock my hat off. This was definitely a dangerous situation.
A situation like this is always tough to handle in front of a crowd and there were 2500 to 3000 spectators at the arena that day. I turned to the crowd and told them I had two options. First, I could say that I couldn’t fix this horse and ask for another horse, but that would not be true. Secondly, I told them I could fix the horse but it might not look pretty. I would, however, guarantee that the horse would have a softer and more relaxed demeanor when the training or correction was done. I chose to work with the horse even though I knew there would be some repercussions.
The moment the filly started to come over the top of me, I took my big long dressage stick and cracked her on the bridge of the nose while she was up in the air. I only had to do that twice to change the entire attitude of the horse. She became relaxed, her demeanor was soft, she respected my space and wherever I went, she would follow. The correction established me as the leader and put that horse into a frame of mind to accept what I was teaching it. I had about twenty people who booed and told me how evil I was but I actually saved that horse’s life because I was willing to get out of the box and help that horse to have a better life. Many horses that get to this point never have someone capable of “fixing” them and they keep getting “sold down the road” and end up hurting someone or at slaughter. Helping this horse was the true rescue. I also had people come up to me and say that they wished they had seen this training years ago because they had nice horses doing the same thing and they didn’t know how to handle the behavior. Later on I showed the owner some exercises to help maintain the behavior. I heard from her several months later, thanking me because they were doing great. I corrected the behavior of that horse but that behavior is natural to all horses. In a herd, horses establish a pecking order by biting, kicking and other physical shows of domination. This is natural for them but dangerous for us. What most people do when a horse rears is to back away but that is not doing anything for the horse except teaching it that is dominant. When the horse is dominant, the owner won’t have any enjoyment in the horse and the horse will be left on its own out in pasture. This will result in the horse not being wormed or having care by a veterinarian or the farrier. This becomes abuse by neglect and proper training/correction is the remedy or means of rescue.
People think of abuse as a horse being beaten but there are many types of abuse that you might not even recognize. As mentioned above, neglect is certainly abusive but also spoiling a horse by not teaching it manners, failing to establish a good relationship with your horse with you as leader, over feeding a horse with grain as well as not shoeing a horse that needs shoes, these are all forms of abuse. There is a big thing about horses going barefoot. I’ve met people who have their horses barefoot after two years trying to toughen up the feet. The fact is that some horses do not well without shoes. The conformation of the foot or the thickness of the hoof wall or the sole can’t accommodate barefoot riding. I had a
four-year old Mustang here at the ranch when I participated in the first Mustang Challenge and if that horse had not been caught, I believe it would have become bait for a mountain lion or coyote because the conformation of the feet was going to eventually cause lameness. So we can help our horses with shoeing and proper trimming. Some horses have feet like iron and do not need shoes. As an owner, you need to know what type of feet your horse has and have them cared for properly.
Some horses are afraid of plastic bags because they are different and crackle. Some will snort at the sight of a lariat and some are afraid of whips. We should not assume a horse has been beaten because it is afraid of a crop or lounging whip. If a horse is shy of a whip, we should teach the horse to overcome the fear, whether or not it was abused in that manner. Teaching your horse to accept a plastic bag, a tarp, or any object that the horse is afraid of, is good horsemanship and an important part of the well being of the horse.
I have seen many people rescue horses and immediately make them into therapy horses. I really believe this is a stupid and dangerous thing to do. These people rescue the horse and feed it for a few weeks then start putting disabled children and adults on it. A horse like this is in no way ready to be a therapy horse. If you have to warn the handlers not to walk on one side or touch the horse in a certain place the horse is certainly not safe for a disabled rider. Also, to me, this is abusing the horse because you are setting the horse up to fail.
We have therapy horses here at the ranch and we spend six to eight months preparing a horse and then we decide if the horse is a right fit for that special occupation. We have one therapy horse here that was a Western Pleasure horse and though he is very good, every once in awhile he needs a couple of weeks off to do something different. We have him do some reining and cavalleti work and then he is ready to come back into the program. To fail to give him that break would be abusive. All therapy horses should be maintained in training. They don’t have to do slide stops or jump four feet, but all therapy horses should be able to carry a flag, drag a tarp, have walkers on both sides of them, and have ropes dragging around their feet. These are things that can come up in a therapy program.
Sometimes we throw the term abuse around too loosely. For example I had a horse here for training that the owners called “the rogue” and they thought it had been abused. A woman had rescued this horse out of pasture and put it in a stall. She walked into the stall unannounced when the horse had his back turned and his head down eating. She startled the horse and he kicked her in the face. Good horsemanship is that you never walk up to the back of a horse until you let the horse know you are coming and make sure that horse’s hind end steps away from you. That is just good, practical common sense. The horse was labeled a rogue and it was decided that the horse must have been abused. Many times horses that come in with the label “abused” or “rescued” but they have just never had any good basic, common sense training or any formal training.
Finally, my point is that it doesn’t really matter whether or not a horse was abused or rescued. All horses need the same training and by taking the time to do it we can help ensure that down the road, the horse won’t ever need to be rescued. – Charles Wilhelm

Sponge or hose him down with the coldest water you can find. Do you have ice? Even better. Hose, then scrape, then hose again. By scraping away the water that heats up on his body surface and replacing it with cold—you’ll maximize his heat loss via conduction.

What’s even more important than recognizing signs of heat stress? Preventing them altogether. When hauling in the summer keep vents and windows open on your trailer, haul your horse without a blanket, and make sure to have plenty of fresh water available when you are on the road. If it’s very hot, consider planning trips during early morning or evening hours before temperatures soar. Although head definitely presents a risk, with a little bit of planning you should be able to look forward to a safe and successful summer of traveling with your horse.

The setting for the seminar is at the Hartley’s Horse Facility in Harrisburg, just North of Eugene, OR. The barn can be seen from I5 and has great access from all areas. Beautiful trees and grass give way to an ultimate horse heaven, creating a wonderful place to be inspired and have an extraordinary experience.
It is David Cook’s mental checklists of “See It, Feel It, and Trust it.” and his foundation of “Balance, Rhythm and Patience”, that led to the Hartley’s program of “See the Outcome, Feel the Connection and Trust the Moment with you and your horse.”
Through Robert’s training program and using your mind to perform better, your true partnership with your horse develops. Being coached and taught strategies and skills to use your mind to be the best that you can be, encourages you to move forward to attain your dreams. With the ability to think better, your journey with your horse will be positively impacted.
This weekend is relevant to all levels of riders and horse owners. “Grateful” is the word that both Robert and Stacy Jo expressed in having Professionals, Amateurs and Hobbyist alike.
