Groups

Let's not have club group pages here, too many!

Just a reminder, with 600+ clubs in the country, we can't really host indiv.club groups on this Ning site. I would recommend that clubs consider starting their own social media pages using Ning or another similar product. Just trying to keep our page manageable!

Thanks, Nancy A, USPC Communications Committee

Is there anything on the USPC website making this official yet? I'd love to read more about the first two options (particularly the second).

Thank you so much for the offer, though! I really appreciate it. I am so glad I was able to go- I'm in college now, so that was probably my last big show with my horse, and I wouldn't have wanted to miss it! I had a great time- Lily and Leah were...

Fall Ratings

Completed two ratings this weekend.
The Metropolitan C1 rating at Kelsey Farm was successful. Three new C1s completed their test with positive results.
The New York Upper Connecticut region held a large rating at Riga Meadow. 7 C1 and 4 C2 candidates completed their rating. All candidates did a good job and a few will retest their weaker sections. Thanks to upper level members who helped with the unmounted portions. Peer to Peer learning and sharing experience makes a huge difference to the memb… Continue

Auditing Hubertus Schmidt symposium

Watched 8 riders work with gold medalist and trainer's trainer Hubertus Schmidt today. He was a facinating clinican able to get to the edge of each horse's ability and make improvements in core reactions. He rode 3 horses and performed classical movements making corrections demonstrating superb feel and timing. It was an excellent opportunity to continue to learn and develop my eye.

USDF - NEDA Fall symposium with Herbertus Schmidt

Going to attend the USDF - NEDA Fall symposium with Herbertus Schmidt this weekend to continue education on classical dressage. Last weekend, I participated in the USDF Charlotte Bredahl-Baker Adult Clinic. She was wonderful. "Listen to your horse, they will tell you what to do." One of the most interesting facts learned was the problem of neautralizing the aids making them less effective. The group focused on the training scale with every horse and rider from training to grand prix, Basic princ… Continue
