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

I use hunter green with yellow piping and so on. So then, it will match the elastic on girths and breastplates, so Rocky looks like a horse beast! Hahah, and then I use royal blue and white for Frosty.

With whom do you hunt? What's your favorite hunting adventure? How long have you been hunting? Anything else you'd like to share about the sport?

Dark blue with green and white trim -- pretty boring, but I like to think of it as "tasteful."

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
