Welcome to the first issue of 2012, which is packed with sporting highlights, top training advice and expert insights to help inspire and inform. On page ı2, we turn the spotlight on those memorable moments from Olympia, where our riders proved such a powerful force, giving spellbound supporters another fantastic result to feel proud of, and a great excuse to fly the flag once again. What a fantastic way to celebrate an outstanding year for British dressage, which has seen medals and honours galore, as we count down to the excitement and challenges of London 20ı2. And it seems the Union Jack will be this season’s must-have as our favourite patriotic symbol is already appearing everywhere, including on over-reach boots, socks and saddlecloths – have you got yours yet? Talking of celebrating British success, Lynne Crowden’s Woodlander wonders have also enjoyed an incredible year, as she explains in our profile on page ı4. A breeder for 25 years, the stud’s pinnacle has undoubtedly been the success of five-year-old superstar Farouche, although other leading lights, such as Woodlander Rockstar and Dornroschen have also given cause for celebration. Ever forthright and down to earth, in spite of her outstanding achievements, Lynne is keeping her feet on the ground: “As a breeder, it is not clever to have bred a horse like Farouche – breeding two would perhaps be clever,” she says.

Another well-supported event was the fantastic BD Convention at Hartpury, where the Bartels family shared their experience and knowledge with the attentive audience and four brave guinea pig riders. One of them, Sophie Wells, summed up: “The structure of their training was very clear. Imke listened and understood my horse’s personality and adapted the training.” Don’t miss Jane Kidd’s in-depth report on page 38. In this issue we also launch our competition in search of Dressage Photographer of the Year, with fantastic prizes, including a personal photo session with leading equine portrait photographer Emily Hancock for the overall winner. Get inspired and pick up some winning tips on page 30, where you can find out how three of the leading equine photographers capture those winning shots. There’s some exciting news coming up in our next issue, when following membership feedback from surveys and members’ meetings, we unveil the new-look easy-to-use schedules format, which we hope will help make show planning even easier. We’ve also included a list of all the major dates coming up for this year on this page, so it’s a great opportunity to start planning your diary for the forthcoming year, which promises to be a busy one! See you next time…

RE: Combining dressage with a family. How do people manage? CHARLIE BEST

“Welcome to the world of sheer exhaustion! We have just returned from a two-and-a-half-hour each way trip to Willerby Farm to do two classes. We set off with a one-year-old and a four-year-old (children), plus a six-year-old horse. We are completely knackered! We have only just got the kids down and it’s 9pm. We still have to finish the horses outside yet before we can collapse in front of the TV and fall asleep. Then it all starts again at 5.50am tomorrow. Oh joy!” Steph Croxford

Sunday Times Awards honours Anne Dunham Para-equestrian dressage rider Anne Dunham MBE was the winner of the Disabled Sportswoman of the Year prize at the prestigious 2011 Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year Awards. Anne, a multi-medal winner on the European, world and Paralympic stage, celebrated her 62nd birthday in 2010, with team and individual gold, and individual freestyle silver medals at the World Equestrian Games, and went on to take team and two individual gold medals at the European Championships in 2011. Classified as a grade Ia rider, Anne suffers from multiple sclerosis and has been wheelchair-bound since the age of 30.

simonsays… Simon Laurens takes a sideways look at what’s been happening in the world of para-equestrian dressage

I have been thinking about all the great horses that have contributed to the vast haul of medals that Great Britain has achieved. Many spring to mind; Blue Circle Boy and Figaro among them, but one horse in particular stood out for me: the gentle, 16.2hh Dutch-bred grey Lambrusco. Purchased from Sophie French in 2003 by the Para Dressage Training Trust, he went to Moorsele, Belgium, for the World Championships with Ricky Balshaw, one of many riders that ‘Brusco’, as he is known at home, carried to international success. Anne Dunham, Jo Pitt and Susanna Wade also rode him. Jo enjoyed international success, as well as several wins in able-bodied tests at elementary level. In 2007, Rory Williams rode him at the FEI World Para Dressage Championships. Although Rory took part, he competed in a non-competitive capacity, so was unable to receive his gold and silver medal. By 2008, Brusco teamed up with Sophie Christiansen for the Paralympic Games in Beijing, which was to prove to be his most successful international competition. This is where I first got to know Brusco and realise what Horses like Lambrusco are a truly wonderful character he is. Combined with a calm nature and quality of pace, he really is a champion in hard to find − many respects. he’s worth Sophie piloted him to gold and silver individually, his weight along with team gold. Brusco behaved like a rock, also in gold being used as the companion horse for other members of the team. In 2009, Sophie partnered him at the European Championships in Norway, where they clocked up gold and silver individually again, as well as another team gold, with three consistently solid performances. He moved on to Susanna Wade to help build her confidence in the arena, which he did with great gusto, enabling Susanna to get out internationally while she was building a partnership with her new horse. Now in his dotage, he has a new partner, Alex Sutton (below), who is part of the Start and Potential squad. Still in very good form, he enjoyed success at the Para-Dressage Home International last year. Alex also took him to Bishop Burton, where again he was hard to beat, but also kindly allowed young Michael Murphy to ride him. Again, Brusco came up with the goods, proving it’s hard to keep a great horse down. Clive Milkins keeps him in fine fettle and at the age of 19, Brusco is as perky as he ever was.

Anti-doping what you need to know…

BD sports operations manager Paul Graham explains the new national system on equine anti-doping, which affects all BD competing members If you are one of our 14,000 members who compete in affiliated British Dressage national classes, or internationally under FEI rules, you need to be aware of a new national equine anti-doping and controlled medication system that came into effect on 1 December 2011. The new system, which is a requirement of our affiliation to the FEI, applies to all BD affiliated members at every level. It’s essential that everyone understands this as the penalties are strong! Since the system closely mirrors the FEI system, it should be relatively familiar to internationally registered members. However, those who do not compete internationally will need to take on board some new concepts. Understanding the new system There is a new set of cross–discipline BEF Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Rules (BEFAR) and a new Prohibited Substance List that mirrors the FEI list for national competitions. Under the new system, doping (which falls under the World Anti-Doping Code in the same way as doping in humans) is separated out from medication control (which is there for welfare reasons). This is linked to a change in the approach to the Prohibited List, which is now very specific about what is prohibited, allowing riders and their vets to have increased certainty and helping them to avoid mistakes. All substances on the Prohibited List are known as ‘Prohibited Substances’, but this is sub-divided into two substance groups: doping substances, which are now referred to as ‘Banned Substances’ (ie they should never be used in the horse); and legitimate equine medication substances, which are referred to as ‘Controlled Medication Substances’. It may be possible to obtain a National Equine Therapeutic Use Exemption (NETUE) for a Controlled Medication Substance in advance of competing, but an NETUE will never be given for

a Banned Substance. Similarly, there are no threshold levels for Banned Substances. The new system will see an increasing number of anti-doping tests across the disciplines, and all BD affiliated members should expect their horse to be tested, whether you are competing at grass-roots level or at a national championship. This year, we were out and about at championships and other shows and are delighted to report that all tests were negative. What are the implications? If found guilty of a doping violation, the rider, and potentially also the horse, will be disqualified from the competition concerned and could be disqualified from the entire event. The standard sanction in addition to that is a two-year suspension, plus a fine and potential legal costs. This standard sanction can only be reduced if specific mitigating conditions can be met − this very much reflects the human doping system of imposing standard sanctions. During suspension, the rider cannot compete internationally, or nationally, or be involved in any way in any activity organised by British Dressage, any other BEF discipline, the FEI, the National Federation or any international or national event organisation. In contrast, the Medication Control system concentrates very much on the welfare of the horse when competing. Unlike a Banned Substance, it is possible to apply for an NETUE for a Controlled Medication Substance if tested. The sanction for a first offence is up to two years ineligibility; the exact length will be determined by looking at a number of specified conditions. BEFAR recommends that a Medication Logbook should be kept for each horse, recording the date, substance and dosage of all treatments administered to the horse that involve a prohibited substance (Controlled Medication Substances), along with details of the person who administered the treatment.

What should you do now? The BEF has launched a helpful Clean Sport section on its website, www.bef.co.uk. Take a good look at the site and, at a minimum, read the Athlete’s Guide and download a copy of the new Prohibited List. You need to make sure that your vet, grooms

| ISSUE 1 2012 | BR ITISH DR ESSAGE

and other support personnel become familiar with what is and is not on the Prohibited List, so that you can make absolutely sure that you will be fully compliant. If you have any questions or queries about this, contact me at paulgraham@britishdressage.co.uk

Olympia British riders wrap up an outstanding year as they scoop the top four places in the freestyle at Olympia’s Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ Dressage 2011/2012 qualifier. Barbara Young watches the action…

REPORT

A memorable night for British dressage saw our riders pull out all the stops in front of an enthusiastic capacity crowd in the freestyle competition at the Reem Acra FEI World Cup™ Dressage qualifier at Olympia. Described by FEI director of dressage Trond Asmyr, as “the best we’ve had in any qualifier so far”, Britain once again proved unbeatable. European gold medal winner Laura Bechtolsheimer skilfully rode her way into the history books with Mistral Hojris as the first British winners of the Olympia World Cup qualifier since its inception in 2004, and the first Briton to win a World Cup qualifier freestyle since Jennie Loriston-Clarke and Dutch Gold. It was a nail-biting climax with just 0.5% dividing the top three (Laura B, Charlotte Dujardin, winner of the first night’s grand prix, and Carl Hester), who all scored more than 83%, making it the highest scoring World Cup qualifier of the 20ıı/20ı2 series so far. “It was a very special night – it means everything to win here,” said Laura, who delivered a confident,

self-assured performance confirming their close partnership. “Alf sometimes struggles with the atmosphere at a big show, but tonight he was right on the button and I could ride him as I wanted to – it’s great to have that feeling of security again. I trusted him to do the job and he did!” Hot on her heels, the dressage dream team, Charlotte Dujardin (second) and Carl Hester (third), produced a succession of outstanding highlights, which held the crowd spellbound. “He was a little bit hotter tonight and there were a few mistakes, but it’s only my second kür with Valegro, and for a nine-year-old to go in and do that is incredible!” said Charlotte, who picked up her Medal of Honour award from the BEF the next day. Carl and super-cool stallion Uthopia dazzled in the passage and piaffe, showing incredible off-the-floor paces to finish just a whisker behind his pupil. “I think my horse went the best he could,” said Carl. “When you’re starting at the bottom with these horses,

then degrees of difficulty have to be improved on – I didn’t think there was much I could improve on tonight!” In fourth place, Richard Davison’s popular Robbie Williams’ inspired theme with Hiscox Artemis, produced a score of 75.050, keeping him well in the frame. Ninth place in the first night’s grand prix earned Henriette Andersen and Louis D’Or a spot in the freestyle where the combination finished ı5th. A fitting end to an exceptional year, the results bode well for next year’s Olympic challenge. “This is all a dream come true from a national point of view,” said Stephen Clarke, president of the ground jury. “The riders made us [judges] work hard – it was just a half a point here and there. Laura’s test, fantastic impulsion and no mistakes, a fantastic job, Charlotte with this elastic-band of a horse, unfortunately had a couple of small mistakes, and Carl with his super-star that is still up-and-coming looked after him and gave him such a good ride. Congratulations to all three riders for doing such a great job!”

I interview

Wonderful Woodlanders Woodlander has long been the buzz word in breeding. Carole Mortimer meets Lynne Crowden , the driving force behind the stud’s many success stories * PHOTOGR APHY BY jon snedden AND kevin sparrow * By anyone’s reckoning, 2011 was a remarkable and rewarding year for breeder Lynne Crowden and her Woodlander Stud. Undoubtedly the pinnacle of 25 years as a breeder was the success of the Woodlander-bred Farouche at the 20ıı FEI World Breeding Championships for Young Horses, although other equine dressage stars, such as Woodlander Rockstar and Dornroschen have also given cause for celebration. But there is more than breeding horses that has kept Lynne occupied. Alongside the full-on day jobs of running her own successful head-hunting business and the stud, and giving her time to BEF initiatives, such as the Futurity and chairing the British Bred Sport Horse and Pony (BBSH), there has also been the not inconsiderable logistical and stressful exercise of selling and relocating the stud. In September last year, Lynne, husband Dave, their staff and horses left Goblaen House, the Powys-based home of the Woodlander Stud for the past ı0 years.

While the tens of broodmares, young stock and stallions have been rehomed to their new accommodation in Sulby, near Market Harborough – itself a time-consuming operation – Lynne and Dave are betwixt houses, without a permanent home until the new year, albeit temporary on-site accommodation is now sorted. It is not surprising, therefore, that pinning Lynne down in one place for a couple of hours, has not proved easy. The Warmblood Breeders Studbook-UK stallion grading at Hartpury, however, offered the opportunity for a catch-up. So, despite another day spent on the go, preparing and travelling three stallions for the imminent grading, once with a cup of tea in hand, Lynne is seemingly relaxed and expansive. Not that there is anything unusual in that; talking as well as breeding is something Lynne does well. All of it interesting and some of it challenging, the only problem is that one topic quickly leads to another and another. Where were we? Ah yes, the move.

interview So why have they decided to relocate? “The strategy was to tackle all sides of our life,” explains Lynne. “The steep topography of Goblaen House was uncompromising for the horses – and us, as neither of us is getting younger – so we wanted somewhere more manageable, as well as being able to buy somewhere for our retirement. “But the biggest driver was the direction of the business – we wanted to bring the horses closer to the Eilbergs and our clients, as well as extending the stallion portfolio – we want to be an influence on other studs breeding, not just our own.” As well as the Eilberg family, trainer Ferdi, organiser Geri and riders Maria and Michael, another significant part of the Woodlander partnership are long-time friends Alison and John Walton, onto whose small estate in Sulby the stud has moved, renting land, buildings and, eventually, a house. “We were open-minded about where we went and renting was always an option. In fact, we have gone full circle, as Sulby is where I bred my first foal 30 years ago – a Thoroughbred – and met John and Alison,” explains Lynne. The Waltons’ former drainage business left a legacy of buildings that now house the horses – mares on one side and a 2ı-box stallion unit with indoor and outdoor turnout and small laboratory on the other, close to the house that Lynne and Dave will move into. The aim for this year is to stand around ı6 stallions. “They will mostly be with dressage in mind, with one or two event stallions and possibly a pony stallion – showjumping is Indian territory for me,” says Lynne, who is enjoying the novelty of seeing horses in attractive level pastures surrounded by trees. Seemingly one of the motivations for concentrating more on the stallions is associated problems she has encountered. “Breeding is a precise business and what we aim to do is make all stallions available seven days a week – service and choice for breeders and clients is critical,” says Lynne, whose obvious business acumen means that the words ‘service’ ‘choice’ and ‘clients’ are regularly put together in the same sentence. “For example, when buying chilled semen, from the continent particularly, quality can be compromised, the cost of delivery is wayward, but more frustratingly there is no delivery over the weekend meaning more intensive management of the mare. For us, providing a full service is part of the business.” While in principle the increase in stallions will be counteracted by a reduction in the number of their own mares, there will still be 22 to foal.

For us, providing a full service is part of the business ABOVE: Woodlander Stud’s German trainer Carsten Sandrock presents Welsh pony Drysiog Helen and her colt Wales by Wavavoom

“We also have some clients’ mares. Breeding is not just about getting mares in foal. We like to offer a service that sees through the whole process, from advice on stallion selection for our clients’ mares, foaling and then later assisting in promotion and marketing of their foals or young horses, so that throughout clients are offered the best choices.” There are, however, still around 80 Woodlander-bred horses on the farm, including several young aspiring dressage horses that will eventually be produced by the other part of the Woodlander partnership, the Eilbergs, whom for the past five years have been successfully training and competing the Woodlander horses. It is anticipated that this year the home-bred breeding stallion Woodlander Rockstar and the mare Dornroschen, dam of Farouche, and currently on the World Class programme with Michael Eilberg, will be the first of the Woodlander horses to compete in big tour and hopefully grand prix.

interview “It has been wonderful to watch them both growing up and come through the levels, especially as they are very different types – Rocky’s style is much more dramatic,” says Lynne. The partnership now has around eight to ı0 horses in training at any one time. As well as the established stars, this year new prospects Woodlander Rhythm ’n’ Blues, the first graded son of Rockstar and the graded stallion Bombay Sapphire, by the Trakehner sire Buddenbrock, will come into training. While relocating closer to the Eilbergs’ Pink Green Farm means that Lynne can see the horses more regularly, time available to spend watching them is at a premium. “The number of horses we now all have involves a lot of planning and scheduling, which is where Geri plays such a vital part, and we seem to spend much of our time discussing who is doing what and when,” says Lynne, who still spends four days a week on her own business, and which historically kept the horses and stud.

Having a full and varied life brings greater perspective to everything you do

As yet we have not even mentioned Farouche – the five-year-old wonder, whose world championship win led to her becoming the subject of rumour and speculation as to her value and future. “Farouche is staying with us,” says Lynne. End of. It transpires that plans for Farouche have not yet been discussed. So might she return to Verden for next year’s six-year-old world championship? “I don’t see why she shouldn’t,” she replies. “But just as importantly for me it would be great to get Wavavoom there as well – he has been runner-up to her on several occasions and tends to get overlooked – Farouche casts a giant shadow.” Lynne agrees that Farouche’s win was a wonderful and emotional experience. “When people ask whether it was the best day of my life, the answer is no it wasn’t; the birth of my children and grandchildren were more important,” she says.“That doesn’t mean her win wasn’t significant – just not the only thing. Having a full and varied life brings greater perspective to everything you do. Besides, as a breeder, it is not clever to have bred a horse like Farouche – breeding two would perhaps be clever.” Certainly no one could argue that Lynne doesn’t have a full life – indeed Lynne and Dave, both pensioners, seemingly have the energy, drive and capacity for work of those half their age. “I love my life – yes it is stressful and pressurised and the stud is demanding in terms of planning and organisation, but with the move I am planning on refining what I do.” And part of the plan is a future retirement home somewhere on the Welsh coast. “I am looking forward to having a home I can love. I would love to decorate the kitchen, bottle fruit and, of course, see my grandchildren more often – I want to be remembered for holidays by the sea, not as a grandmother who was always on the phone.” And while the retirement home is definitely in the pipeline, the time for bottling fruit and decorating the kitchen might not happen just yet. “I am a sucker for a challenge – I am rubbish at saying no.” ABOVE: Lynne with the young Hanoverian stallion Supertramp by

Training for tomorrow

Kevin Sparrow

Thanks to new coaching initiatives using the framework of the UKCC, the future of dressage training is moving into a new era, as Jane Carley finds out

Training is changing, with a new framework for trainers, which will standardise how riders are taught, and provide a clear career path for those who coach riders. As part of a national initiative to standardise the quality of sports coaching in Britain, the UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) has been introduced. As well as dressage, programmes are also being developed for other equestrian disciplines, including showjumping and Western riding. Trainer and UKCC coach educator Jill Day explains the value of the new qualifications: “Taking the UKCC levels is a process of personal development, which makes you a better trainer. Anyone who is taking money for teaching should aim to be as good a trainer as they can be. “Historically, dressage trainers have taught riders without having learned how to teach,” she continues. “BHS qualifications have been valuable and are now intertwined with UKCC, but cover all types of riding rather than offering the chance to specialise in dressage.” British Dressage encourages its regions to use UKCC coaches, and education as development manager Jo Brown explains: “Many of the trainers used at regional level have UKCC qualifications already, and the intention is to progress to using only UKCC-accredited trainers when there are enough qualified.” Jo points out that UKCC uses much of the same training approach as is already successfully used by World Class for the senior international teams, which is as much about performance management as actual teaching. Understanding the levels The UKCC has a general framework of four levels of coach.These start with level ı for assistant

coaches, and level 2 for people delivering a coaching session alone, which are both based on generic equestrian skills. Level 2 coaches have a level 3 mentor, but can prepare for, deliver and review a progressive series of training sessions. At level 3, coaching becomes discipline specific. A level 3 dressage coach would be expected to be fully autonomous and be a role model at county/ regional level. This level of coach can plan, deliver, analyse and review annual programmes of rider development, up to and including advanced medium level. “Anyone wanting to take level 3 should ideally do level 2 first to get into the mindset and way of teaching. But it is possible to go straight in at level 3, providing you have a really strong foundation of teaching to advanced medium level,” says Jill. Level 4 is still under development – the equestrian disciplines have been asked to help pioneer this level at which the coach is regarded as a national expert, such as a team performance coach or development coach. UKCC level ı is not currently run by British Dressage, but can be achieved via the British Horse Society (BHS) and The Pony Club. UKCC level 2 consists of three workshop days, and a further assessment day. As part of the course, candidates need to complete a portfolio on coaching riders, which is submitted on the

assessment day. Applicants must be listed on the BD Trainers Database, be registered with Equestrian Qualifications Ltd, the industry awarding body, and have trained at least two clients for affiliated dressage. At the assessment, candidates submit their portfolios and take two practical coaching sessions. The first session will be a group lesson and the second session will be private. One of the sessions must include either pole work or basic jumping. UKCC level 3 requires attendance at eight one-day workshops, with a final assessment a month after the last workshop. The workshops help with coaching technique rather than technical content, so it is important that candidates are competent at advanced medium level. “Workshops are classroom-based in the morning and work with riders in practical sessions in the afternoon. But remember that the coach educators are there to show how to teach, not what to teach, and can’t help to bring trainers up to advanced medium level if they are not already there,” cautions Jill. At the assessment, candidates submit a more detailed portfolio, take part in a professional discussion and give two practical coaching sessions. The level three portfolio shows evidence of how the candidate has worked with two riders on a regular basis. He or she will performance profile two riders, identifying where they were at the start of the training period and what actions will be needed to achieve goals, which are set for them. The trainer will then prepare an annual plan for the two riders and produce eight linked lesson plans, and at the end of the process reflect on what has been achieved and what may have been done differently. “The riders should be people who you teach regularly, and at least one should be at advanced BR ITISH DR ESSAGE | ISSUE 1 2012 |

medium level. It’s wise to have three or four clients involved, in case a horse is sold or injured,” suggests Jill. The ability to produce risk assessments and discuss long-term athlete development, as well as reflect on a trainer’s own teaching performance, is also required. “It seems like a lot of paperwork, but is all related to training and is standard in other sports,” says Jill. “In the assessment you must be confident that you can teach the movements, as you will be coaching an unknown rider in the format of a regional training day. You will then either watch someone ride through a test and assess it with them, or work them in and help them through a test. Getting feedback from the rider is crucial. The professional discussion may cover technical issues such as way of going, especially if this has not come out in the practical assessment.”

We don’t just tell riders what to do; we let them feel it too Coaching techniques The main difference in UKCC coaching is the emphasis on how they teach, rather than what they teach, explains Jill. “Coaches are educated in the different ways in which riders learn – some people are visual, so they react to being shown a technique, others need to feel a movement, for example,” she says. “Traditional teaching does not always take the rider’s needs into account. Good coaches may do this automatically, but UKCC labels good practice and improves aspects of training which are not so good. Essentially, we don’t just tell riders what to do; we let them feel it too.” UKCC Factfile Costs Level 2 − Workshops £200 (includes registration) Assessment £250 Level 3 − Workshops £900 (includes registration) Assessment £250 Level 3 assessments take place on 23-24 January 2012 Number of qualified coaches Level 2 − 16 Level 3 − 15 Previous attendance Level 2 workshops − 8, assessment − 13 Level 3 workshops − 10, assessment − 12

Trainer and UKCC coach educator Jill Day believes getting feedback from the rider is crucial

UKCC trainers’ views Tanya Larrigan Coach educator and UKCC level 3 coach Tanya Larrigan became involved in the UKCC four years ago. She says: “There is such a variety of training methods in dressage and, until now, no formal qualifications in the UK apart from the BHS system. Although I was already confident to work with riders at all levels, I thought it would be a good idea, and I believe it will become a necessity for trainers,” she says. Tanya comments that trainers can benefit hugely from the workshops, not just from the training, but the chance to exchange ideas with other trainers. “Other people’s experiences can really broaden your knowledge; it is easy to get isolated as a dressage trainer. The programme of one day a month also worked well for me, as it is easier to find time in your diary than cram in a week of training, plus I found that it made the information easier to absorb.” Tanya promotes the UKCC actively to anyone who wishes to become a trainer: “It’s useful to have a grasp of the different learning styles and really improves your ‘toolbox’ when teaching.” As a coach educator, Tanya is also involved with the Para Coaches Pathway, and she explains: “My UKCC background helps with discussing and explaining different ways of training. I recently spoke at the para conference on the subject of learning styles and there was a tremendous amount of interest.” Jo Swain Jo Swain is working towards UKCC level 3 and hosts assessments and workshops at Swallowfield Equestrian in Warwickshire. “I learnt such a lot about the different learning styles when I did my level 2, it was an incredible experience,” she says. “I’m now putting it into practice coaching BYRDS and senior home international squads, where I can have 35 riders at a camp. I work more closely with the riders and can manage them more efficiently.” Jo points out that it is useful for personal and staff development. “You learn so much about yourself, it has helped me develop as a person and completely changed my approach to coaching. My yard manager has her level 2 and is preparing for her Pony Club A test − the UKCC has put her streets ahead.”

Donnerhall’ s dynasty Donnerhall (1981) is the most successful dressage stallion to date. Like no other before or since, he combined both international competition and breeding with outstanding success. He was essentially the first celebrity stallion, a crowd favourite with the public and dressage cognoscenti alike. With his lifelong German partner Karin Rehbein, the duo won more than 30 grand prix classes. For several years, they were a significant part of the German team, winning two World team gold (ı994 and ı998), one European team gold (ı997) and two individual bronze medals (ı994 and ı997). In ı998 they were fourth individually at the World Equestrian Games in Rome. They also won the World Cup European league and in ı997 and ı998 Donnerhall was the Oldenburg Dressage Stallion of the Year. Together they amassed prize money of DM640,000, the equivalent of £375,000 today. Donnerhall’s breeding career, however, was even more successful – so much so that the ı996/97 edition of Selected Sires of Germany states that it is almost impossible to assess his complete breeding record, and that was before he retired from competition in ı998, aged ı7. After retirement, his stud career was to last a further four years until his death, in January 2002, from acute typhlocolitis, an inflammation of the caecum and colon. An estimate of his legacy has been put at 77 approved sons, 462 registered broodmares and 84 state premium mares, while the 20ı0 Hanoverian Stallion Book records 986 progeny competing in dressage, of which 2ı2 were advanced, perhaps proving the point that while Donnerhall’s progeny varied in type, what they shared was his inherent trainability and temperament.

While Donnerhall’s progeny varied in type, what they shared was his inherent trainability and temperament

Temperament and trainability BD chairman Jennie Loriston-Clarke, who remembers watching Donnerhall compete, recalls: “In the arena he was correct and did a good job – some would say a bit stuffy. He was not a big mover, there was no wow factor, but we didn’t do wow then – winning horses were correct in their way of going.” Jennie was impressed by his demeanour. “He was a kind horse with a good temperament and not at all stallion-like,” she says. “He was not very big, only around ı6.2hh, and rather flat behind the saddle, a little old-fashioned in type, perhaps, and with a big crest, but he had a very attractive head. At that time, not many competition stallions were used at stud and he therefore attracted a lot of mares. He definitely suited the more quality mares, and undoubtedly he was a good stallion and left his mark in a big way.” Apart from being distantly related through his sire line to the famous showjumper Deister, Donnerhall’s breeding is unremarkable. He was one of the first crop of the stallion Donnerwetter (ı977), who stood at Grönwohldhof, then considered the first of the glamorous private studs in Germany, not least because it was the base for the late, renowned trainer Herbert Rehbein and his wife, Karin. Donnerwetter, who left five approved sons, competed to grand prix with Herbert Rehbein before being sold to the USA in ı990. Donnerhall’s dam, Ninette, was from a long line of Oldenburg mares. Her sire, Markus, was half-bred by the Thoroughbred Manolete, also the dam-sire of the renowned eventing stallion Volturno, winner of Olympic silver in ı976 and ı980. Her dam, Negola, was a granddaughter of the Anglo-Norman stallion Condor, brought to Oldenburg in ı950 to refine the breed. Nine

years after Donnerhall, Ninette bred his full brother, Disco Dernier, who was exported to the USA. As a three-year-old, Donnerhall was second in his performance test, and Karin Rehbein took over the training of the liver chestnut stallion at Grönwohldhof. In an interview, she recalled: “He was always good to train, good in the head and always straightforward, and learnt everything really quickly.” Within a few years his popularity as a stallion grew, not only because of his increasing success in competition, but also due to the success of his progeny. Don Primero (ı985) was one of his first crop and the first son to be approved. In ı990 he was a national five-year-old champion and he, too, was trained to grand prix by Karin Rehbein. Don Primero was out of a mare by Pik Bube I, another

The stallions Davignon, Don Primero, Don Schufro, Donatelli, Donnerbube, Don Primaire, Dream of Glory and Duntroon, and the successful grand prix mare Donatha S, are just a few that result from this cross. By the time of his retirement in ı998, it is recorded that more than 50% of the horses at the German national championships had Donnerhall in their pedigree, while the first of his grandsons were starring at the Bundeschampionat. Extraordinarily, his progeny have stayed the test of time. At last year’s European Championships three – Digby, Donnperignon and Damon Hill – were placed in the top ı4 of the grand prix.

Importing talent When you import a horse, he will be given points depending on his age, rather than your rider group, as is the case when you downgrade a horse bought in this country. Downgrading and assessing horses are two completely separate processes. Only imported horses aged five or older are given points. A five-year-old will automatically have 45 points, which allows him to start competing at preliminary level, a six-year-old 160 (elementary), a seven-year-old 260 (medium), an eight-year-old 400 (advanced), a nine-year-old 435 and a 10-year-old 450. If these points do not correlate with the level the horse is working at, then you can contact British Dressage and ask for your horse to be assessed at a cost of £75 and have his points reduced. Rhett Bird, one of more than 40 assessors in the UK, is asked on average to evaluate one horse a month. “I allow 45 minutes and treat the process a bit like a lesson without the teaching. The owner will have filled out a form already with information about the horse. Part of this is a list of various movements − leg yielding, shoulder-in, half-pass, flying changes, pirouettes, etc − and each one will have a tick or cross next to it to show whether the horse is capable of doing it or not. “We will have a chat at the start of the session so I can find out a bit about the history of the horse and then I will ask to see him in training. It is about assessing the horse rather than the rider, so if the rider is not experienced enough to show the movements, I will get on myself. After that, I sign the paperwork and the job is done. “It is a simple and effective process, which means the rider and horse can move up the levels at their own pace.”

DRESSAGE PHOTOGRAPHY

Thanks to the wonders of digital camera technology, every owner can take respectable snaps. However, it takes skill to create a photo that captures your horse’s best moments, as well as his personality. As with a lot of things in life, the key is practise, with the basics being timing, composition, background and lighting. The all-round equestrian Having studied photography at Salisbury College of Art, Kit Houghton has specialised in equestrian photography since the late ı970s. “As always, I blame my wife. I was working in London as a photojournalist when I met Kate. I started photographing horses when I went along to watch her compete in point to points,” says Kit, who is the official photographer for Rolex, sponsors of the World Cup showjumping series, and has attended every Olympics and World Games since ı984. Kit also publishes an interactive online equestrian magazine, The Vision of the Horse, to showcase his work. “At top level, it is not that difficult to photograph dressage. I hate and avoid what I call the ‘machine-gun technique’, also known as ‘monkey shooting’, when you hold the shutter-release button down. It would be sod’s law to catch the horse at the wrong moment. You have to anticipate and work out when to push the button, which takes practise. “Look at the background, not just the horse in front of the lens. Make sure there

DRESSAGE PHOTOGRAPHY

Dressage action In ı993, Kevin Sparrow walked into his local saddler with some horse portraits he had just had developed. Spurred on by the comments that they were rather good and that horse owners would want to buy them, he ended up shooting his first dressage competition, an unaffiliated prelim at Summerhouse Equestrian Centre. Three months later, Horse & Hound magazine published one of his pictures. Nearly 20 years on, he travels the world covering all the top dressage championships, including the Olympics, as well as a vast range of shows around the UK. Kevin says: “Getting a good action shot takes practise. I learnt to get my timing right for the extended trot – when the foreleg nearest the photographer is stretched out straight in front – by spending two days photographing the dressage at Badminton Horse Trials. I borrowed a big lens from the Nikon UK stand and then sat through 83 tests. “Where you stand depends on where the movements are in that particular test; some are better taken from A, others about threequarters of the way down the long side. “Certain movements photograph better certain ways.

DRESSAGE PHOTOGRAPHY

Equestrian lifestyle For Emily Hancock’s ı6th birthday, her brother bought her a day’s training with a photographer. Next, Emily arranged to shadow a photographer she met while playing polo. On her first day, she ended up photographing Prince Charles, and sons William and Harry and, after looking at her work, the photographer offered her a job. While at Oxford Brookes University, Emily commuted to Devon at weekends to learn her trade. Since then, she has established a style that is mature and contemporary and, as an advanced dressage rider herself and being based in the New Forest, famous for its free-roaming ponies, it was no surprise that Emily fell in love with equine photography. “These days cameras are of such high quality that you can achieve great images even on the auto setting. The main thing to go over various ideas. We don’t want the to think about is if the light is flattering. eye to be drawn to the bright colours or You need to start looking at differences in patterns on clothes, so I often recommend light, where it comes from, lands, bounces neutral colours. and reflects. “Putting your subjects at ease is all about “Then look at the background.

and always looking into the distance, then a Polo or two usually helps. “After every shoot, I look through all the images and think about what could have been better given the situation. “I need the highest quality image, so I always shoot in RAW, the largest file size. I would recommend an amateur use the highest file size and quality on the JPEG setting as the RAW setting will slow down your computer. “I use Lightroom and Photoshop to adjust my photos. However, you can use any image-editing software that is not too complicated, where you can adjust the exposure settings, that has a good crop tool and the ability to convert from colour to black and white.” Emily’s favourite SHOT “I chose this image of Claire Gallimore and Leo because it sums up the relationship one can have with a horse. I had so many comments when I exhibited at Badminton and the National Dressage Championships. “On the day of the shoot I decided that we would use Leo’s stable. Within the first 30 seconds, I knew I had a couple of cracking images. I don’t think I will ever take this image down from my studio; it’s simply timeless.”

Dianne Breeze

Meet list 4 judge, rider and artist Dianne BreezE, who divides her time between judging and teaching both in the UK and abroad

What have been your memorable dressage moments as a competitor? Competing on the Sunshine Tour with my much-loved horse Ebe – it was an ambition to compete there and I had a fantastic time, with the highlight being winning the intermediate I. Didi, a horse I purchased through Carl [Hester], was very different to Ebe as she was exceptionally sharp and spooky. I trained her to PSG and then had to retire her due to lameness. I now have a lovely two-year-old out of her by my own stallion. What inspired you to become a judge? A long time ago, when training with Stephen Clarke, he told me I should put something back into the sport and become a judge. I have always felt a little guilty and kept thinking next year I will sign up, but I’ve always been too busy

teaching and competing. With living most of the year in Dubai, I thought it would be the ideal time to become a judge, as I have no horse to compete when I am home. Where do you travel to teach? I travel to the other side of the world to teach! I still have some great clients in the UK and I do as many clinics as I can fit in when home in Shropshire. In Dubai I have some fab horses and riders to work with. I am based at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club, which has amazing facilities, although the heat can be very challenging in the summer months. How do you fit in dressage alongside your work as an artist? I like to do my artwork in between teaching, as you need a fresh eye when you are painting and drawing, so it works well. Watching horses helps the painting, and teaching is inspiration for my cartoons! When did you first realise you had talent as an equestrian artist? I began drawing horses as soon as I could hold a pencil. I am not sure why I had this obsession for horses, as my parents were both frightened of them! Where do you get your inspiration from? Artists such as Stubbs. Just being around

horses all day is my inspiration, plus watching at the big international shows over the years. I really enjoyed painting Totilas, his charisma and natural athleticism were inspirational.

Brilliant Bartels

Jane Kidd reports from the BD Convention, hosted by the Bartels family and supported by The National Saddle Centre

The Bartels family left the capacity audience at the BD Convention held at Hartpury College in no doubt as to what they wanted of their horses and riders. As a family they have worked out a system that has yielded them and their pupils huge successes from Olympic medals to initiating and running the unique Global Dressage Forum. Each member of the family has found a particular area in which their talent shines and, at Hartpury, Joep, a trained psychologist, talked about the theory, while his wife Tineke did the training, assisted by daughter Imke Schellekens-Bartels, who also rode their athletic son of Jazz, Hunter Douglas Toots. The rider The process was the same with every combination. The basics had

to be established each and every day, and that meant for the rider, as well as the horse. The rider had to be aware of the way they used their body, able to follow the movement and to use precise aids consequently. Our British riders had good positions, but were given reminders, such as to ease the pressure on the knees. When squeezing the saddle, leg aids could not be given effectively. The importance of relaxation For the horse the first stage was relaxation, otherwise he will not listen to the aids. Tense expressive horses, such as Samantha Thurman-Baker’s Spring Pascal, were asked for a very slow ‘pony’ trot.Their big paces had to be forgotten about until they relaxed.

SIX Bartel training points Mental training based on knowledge of horse and rider’s mind. Motivation connected to realistic goal setting. Physical training of the rider to improve communication with the horse. Much work is done on the seat, including use of technology and computers. Imke works on her seat, daily checking on a computer system. Improving communication with the horse through understanding the theory and use of conditioning training. Physical training of the horse to develop a ‘happy athlete’, through bending, flexing, shortening and lengthening. Use of a demanding coach with an open mind.

| ISSUE 1 2012 | BR ITISH DR ESSAGE

Understanding connection Work on relaxation is done with a steady connection, a light consistent rein contact. A tip to help the rider was to feel that the connection with the reins came from the elbows rather than the hands. Response to leg aids When the horse was adequately relaxed, the leg aid was used sharply to send them forward, encourage the hind legs to step further under the body, and for the hock to bend more. As soon as the horse responded, the aid was taken off, the rider sat still and the horse expected to stay in longer, faster strides, without any nagging from the aids, and to continue to do so until the rein aid was applied to slow down. If they did slow down without a rein aid, then there was a sharp leg aid, which was released as soon as they responded. Responsiveness was built up with frequent changes in the speed and length of stride, and each and every time removing the leg aid as soon as the horse responded. Joep said: “Tempo control is important and we play with the tempi, refine the reactions and improve communication, then there is no problem in positioning the horse.”

About the bartels family The Bartels have long established themselves as one of the most respected dressage dynasties in the world. Based at Academy Bartels in Hooge Mierde, the Netherlands, Joep, Tineke and daughter World team gold medallist Imke Schellekens-Bartels organise and host the annual Global Dressage Forum, as well as offering regular training and lectures for riders and visitors. Visit www.academybartels.com

Rein aids The Bartels talked about resistant and stopping rein aids. The resistant aid is used to make the horse submissive; as soon as he softens, it is released and there should be no change in the speed. With the stopping aid the tension is backwards, even though the hand is hardly ever taken backwards. Tineke explained that if the rein were to be cut when an aid is being applied with the stopping aid, the hand would go backwards, but for the resistant aid the hand would stay in the same place. The resistant rein aid, particularly with young horses, may be strong at times and the pressure can be varied, but there is no pulling. The important thing is that the pressure is released as soon as the horse gives. The Bartels use the resisting rein as part of a series, which is similar to a half halt; touching with the leg, getting a reaction, catching the energy with the reins and then giving. They said dividing the aids makes it easier to analyse when something is missing.

Imke and Toots perform a very expressive half pass, watched as they are nearly every day, by Tineke. BR ITISH DR ESSAGE | ISSUE 1 2012 |

What makes a top rider Studies of top riders in the Netherlands have identified the following features of top riders: Sport specific: riding ability (quick reaction, core stability, etc) and knowledge of horses. Mental: motivation (particularly important), and ability to perform under pressure. Social and management: team building and management of own career.

Waiting for the rider Another important principle for the Bartels is that the horse has to wait for the aids from the rider, so that any anticipation, slowing down, or speeding up without commands from the rider, is stopped. The horse has to wait for the rider.

Any blocks of tension in this upper line would mean there is no connection from the hindquarters to the bit and the rider cannot control the hind legs. They found no problem in getting the neck longer again as long as the horse was responding to the leg aids, thinking forwards and not running away, which Straightness were all goals of this warmingIn this work on the basics, a up phase. number of goals might be taken Until the horse took the rein into consideration at the same time down there was no work on as working on the others, and one the movements.

Further advice on how to get the head to drop was to use the weight of the reins and the hands, but no holding down. Ready for movements The test of whether the basics had been sufficiently established and the horse ready to do movements was whether he was working on a light even contact and in self carriage. Corners and lines Again and again Tineke and Imke picked up riders on their lines. They were insistent that they used the corner, that they rode from marker to marker on the diagonals and that the circles were consistent curves of the required size. They asked riders to ensure straightness into the corner and straightness out.

There are no real problems, no mistakes, just learning experiences Joep Bartels

Shaping When starting to tackle the movements, the Bartels ‘shape’. They train various aspects of the movement – for instance, the flexion, the collection, the bend, etc individually, and then put them together into a movement. For the shoulder-in, the rider was asked to work separately on such things as responsiveness to the aids, collection and flexion along the long side, without the legs moving away from the rails. Then, if remaining through when flexed, the rider used the outside rein to bring the shoulders off the track into a shoulder-in. Half pass was developed from a leg yield in which the horse was absolutely straight through the body,

then a half pass with just flexion and, finally, with a bend. The principle of releasing the aids when the horse responds was carried to a high level in the half pass – the riders were told to take off the aids and if the horse slowed down, lost positioning or speeded

Lisa Marriott demonstrates the leg aid requiring a response (A) and the leg off as it should be when the response has been achieved (B).

up to reapply, get a reaction then release again. For the Bartels to finish a half pass is not to stop the aids, but to give a new aid. We saw movements improving immensely through this shaping and insistence on establishing the basics before attempting them.

Imke was an effective example for she refused to take her son of Jazz out of his deep work until he was through and waiting. The result was some high-class piaffe, passage and half passes, bringing a fitting climax to two days of training.

Rider feedback Sophie Wells: “The structure of their training was very clear. They were not afraid to ask the horse to go deeper and more forward. Imke listened and understood my horse’s personality and adapted the training. I was not to nag with my legs. I have got to get him to be more sensitive to the small aids, so when I ask, he goes, rather than me keeping him going.” Samantha Thurman-Baker: “It was brought home to me just how much control I need to have over tempo, and that I cannot move on until I have it. We worked on getting him to use his back and listen to me.”

Need help with BD rules, or want to know more about safe winter travel? Our expert panel has the answers

Winter travel checks I own a ı0-year-old 3.5 ton horsebox, which I use several times a month. Are there any routine checks I should take to help minimise the risks of winter breakdowns? No one can guarantee that a breakdown will not occur, but joining a well-established rescue organisation at least ensures that when the worst does happen, you will be put back on the road quickly and efficiently. There’s lots of advice and tips on travelling if you contact The Organisation of Horsebox and Trailer Owners (OHTO) on 0ı488 65765ı or visit its site at www.horseboxrescue.co.uk

Q A

Here’s a useful winter checklist: Engine Check oil levels/power steering level Never use start gas as a starting aid (eg Easy Start) Never race a cold engine Avoid labouring and high engine revs with a cold engine Drain fuel filter of water Check tension and condition of drive belts Wheels and tyres Check tyre pressure Check tyres for side wall damage Check wheel nuts Check spare wheel Check there are no stones jammed between rear twin wheels

eligibility rules I qualified for the elementary regionals last summer, winning a wild card to the nationals, but not placed. Does this mean that I am now classed as an open rider and am no longer eligible for the Petplan Equine Area Festivals, even though I still have a few points left at elementary level?

And so to bed… Want to find the best bedding for winter? Check out our choice of quality brands in stable matting, shavings and new alternatives Keep your horse healthy buyer’s and comfortable this guide winter with this selection of bedding products Choosing the right bedding isn’t easy, taking into account the environment it provides, availability and cost, ease of waste disposal, and time and effort required in mucking out. Our guide looks at new and established products and there’s a perfect bedding for every set-up. But as competition horse specialist Andy Bathe, a partner at Rossdale & Partners, Newmarket, points out, it isn’t just what you use, but the way that you use it. “Good quality, clean, straw beds that are mucked out thoroughly every day may present less of a threat to a horse’s respiratory health than bedding which is cleaner to start with, but left down so that ammonia builds up,” he said. “It’s no good putting down quality shavings and only mucking out properly once a fortnight. “Ideally, you should also take a horse out of the stable while it’s being mucked out and not put it back in until everything has settled.” Rising prices mean that cost has become increasingly important, although the price per bale or bag isn’t the only factor. Most companies discount for large quantities and if you have ample storage space or opt for bedding that takes up less space, such as straw or wood pellets, this can save money. Check coverage as well as weight. For instance, wood pellets such as those from Verdo or White Horse Bedding may look unimposing when starting a new bed, but once they have been watered and fluffed up, the bed is much more dense; similarly, a straw pellet bed, such as Stablegold or Nedz Advance expands when the horse treads it down.

It’s no good putting down quality shavings and only mucking out properly once a fortnight Andy Bathe

Aubiose bedding, which is made from young hemp plants, absorbs well, resulting in minimal wastage

Do you get what you pay for? Shavings, for example, vary in quality, and one manufacturer’s definition of dust extracted may not be the same as another’s. Again, coverage varies and you’ll get more for your money and more consistency with a pressure-packed product, such as Bedmax or Littlemax. Is it quick and easy to muck out? High absorbency means smaller areas of wet bedding, ease of handling and smaller muck heaps.

Is your horse a bedding muncher? Many products are treated to make them unpalatable, or the manufacturers may advise sprinkling a suitable disinfectant over it to start with. Correct usage Develop your management skills and follow manufacturers’ instructions to start with.This applies particularly to wood pellets, because if you add too much water to start with, you lose some absorbency.

buyer’s guide

Expert choice International rider and trainer Emile Faurie describes himself as “pretty old-fashioned” in that he uses straw and shavings, but he has a secret weapon in his suppliers. “I use straw when possible because it’s a good natural bed,” he explained. “It’s economical and the horses find it comfortable. My farmer neighbour produces it for me and delivers it when I need it and it’s always very good quality. “If I can’t use straw for a particular horse, I use shavings from Jacksons Fencing. Richard Jackson is a dressage enthusiast and knows the importance of good quality. “We muck out fully every day. In a competition yard like this, the horses are valuable and we look after their lungs!” Benefits of matting Stable mats can minimise the risk of capped hocks, as well as adding warmth.Talk to manufacturers to get the right ones for your stables, depending on how good or otherwise the drainage is. Some manufacturers say that matting can be used with minimal bedding, but equine osteopath Helen Turner believes the ideal system is to use the same amount as you would normally and get the best of both worlds.This also helps to keep rugs cleaner. Some manufacturers, such as Fieldguard, also make wall mats. If you have a wall kicker, even if it’s only at feed time, this could be the answer.

LITTLE & LARGE

Nedz Bedz RRP from £6 per bale (Nedz Original and Nedz Pro), £7 (Nedz Advance) www.nedz.co.uk There are three products in the Nedz Bedz range. Nedz Original is chopped wheat straw which has been treated to give a hygienic, unpalatable and virtually dust-free environment.

Nedz Advance is also made from straw, chopped and sterilised and then pressed into pellets. Sold in ı5kg bags, capable of absorbing five times its weight in liquid, but does not need activating with water.

Bedmax and Littlemax RRP from £7.50 per bale www.bedmaxshavings.com and www.littlemaxshavings.com Made specifically for bedding, from sustainable sources of British pine.

DRESSAGE TESTS IN USE FOR 2012

As you may already be aware, there are six tests being deleted from the Rule Book for 2012 and one test which will no longer be a Qualifier test. As venues have to submit their schedules some time in advance of the publication of the magazine/website, one or two may not have been aware of the changes when selecting their tests. We have tried to spot any incorrect tests selected − but if you should notice any of the following tests being used in schedules from 1 January 2012, please do inform the office and/or the venue concerned, so a correct test can be substituted. Deleted tests for 2012: P10, N20, N36, E58, M64, AM84. AM85 will no longer be a qualifier test.

SCHEDULES: 22 february – 31 march An at-a-glance guide to get the best out of the competition calendar

Affiliated competition schedules for BD shows are included in every issue of British Dressage magazine (published every 61⁄2 weeks). This issue, published 25 January includes detailed schedules for the period 22 February to 31 March giving you plenty of time to plan for and enter the shows you wish to go to. The schedules pages also include a Forthcoming Calendar so that you can plan ahead for events until 14 May. The schedules pages are split into three main sections:

SCHEDULE CALENDAR

Use these pages to see which shows at which levels are running on a given date. l All BD competitions taking place nationwide for the period 22 February to 31 March are listed here in date order (then alphabetically). l You can see at a glance which county the show is in and which levels of tests are running to help select the competitions you are interested in. l High profile events such as the Premier League shows and the Area Festivals are displayed in bold. Date Day february

Venue

l Once you decide which events you are interested in, you can find out more about the show in the detailed schedule section.

DETAILED SCHEDULES

Use these pages to get more comprehensive information about a show or venue. l Detailed schedules for competitions are included for the period 22 February to 31 March alphabetically by show name. l Details on how to enter, contacts, facilities and directions appear under each heading. l Below this each competition day is listed County

Levels & Tests

with information on the tests and prize money offered. Prize money PO per class unless stated otherwise in the schedule. l Some show entries run over the page so don’t forget to check. l Major competition schedules, such as Premier Leagues, Area Festivals and Regionals, are highlighted with coloured borders. These appear separately, but as close as possible to the relevant show’s usual entry. This may mean they are the page before or after the show entry for that particular venue.

FORTHCOMING CALENDAR

Use these pages to plan your diary for the following 61⁄2 weeks. l Listed in the same format as the Calendar pages at the front of the schedules, the Forthcoming Calendar includes dates from 1 April to 14 May and makes up the last few schedule pages of the magazine. l Use these listings to help you see which shows are coming up in the future and plan your competition schedule.

Q A dressage days: John Robinson

“I hope that my organisational skills and ability to manage people will contribute to my success as a selector” As a former grammar school head of department, encouraging young talent is a priority for the new pony selector Choose three words to describe yourself. Charming, sophisticated and modest! How did you get the job and what does the role of pony selector involve? As a list 2a judge and having judged a number of pony classes, I was invited by the BD board and Jenny Ward. The role is primarily to select a pony squad and, ultimately, a team to represent GB at the Pony European Championships. The selector also has the opportunity to spot talented and as yet inexperienced combinations to train and give them the opportunity to compete in the future. What makes British pony riders successful? The breeding programme and the importance now given to combining the qualities of the dressage horse with the character of the pony − many more ponies really fill the eye. Also, the support given to the riders and the training opportunities. What can your own background help bring to your new role? Hopefully, as a teacher I have developed enough skills and strategies to deal with the parents! I hope that my organisational skills and ability to manage people and work as a team will contribute to my success as a selector. I am also well equipped to cope with the unpredictable. How have you previously been involved with pony riders? Primarily as a judge, although I was chef d’équipe for the pony, young rider and under-21 team at the Friendly International at Blarney in 1996. Some years ago, I was also involved with the Talent Spotting Scheme. What qualities make a good pony team combination? It is important that the young rider is focused, but not obsessive, and prepared to tap into the wealth of experience and talent offered by the trainers and selectors. Young people must be prepared to accept help and guidance when necessary. What do you look for in a potential squad member? The prerequisite is to demonstrate some ability, be ambitious, but not precocious. Someone

about

john

Based in Bedworth, West Midlands, John has been appointed as the new pony selector. Now retired, he taught for 25 years at Leicester Grammar School as head of modern foreign languages. A former member of the North Northumberland branch of The Pony Club, John says he was “privileged to have the help of Lady Joicey and Barbara Slane-Fleming” and has trained several of his home-bred horses up to prix st georges level.

who has read or is prepared to read Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘If…’ is a MUST! What do you enjoy doing outside horses? Reading, gardening, travel and camping in the Land Rover and roof tent. Oh, and training my palate to appreciate good wines! What’s your favourite way to spend a day off? Sitting in the sun in good company, with a glass of wine and my chef to cook me yet another meal to die for. I am, after all, high maintenance!

What is it that makes you happy and laugh out loud? A case of Champagne (preferably Bollinger 1955!) and a lot of double entendre! What dressage ambitions do you still have? Now that I do not compete and ride, I enjoy watching the success of riders I know. It is particularly gratifying to see how the sport has developed over the years, and I look forward to being part of it.

“I enjoy working with young people and helping to optimise their potential, while as a judge I also enjoy the training sessions. It is rewarding to help people who are so passionate about their sport.”

NEW DVD

Homage to the Horse and Classical Horse-Riding Hommage au Cheval et Ă l'Equitation Classique

Tribute in the Horse and in the Equitation Classic

This DVD pays homage to the horse putting this fascinating creature in the spotlight. From scenes of the wild, to classical riding, this insightful documentary is the product of a subtle and harmonious effort where balance and grace are permanent inspirations. The psychological and physical wellbeing of the horse is fittingly transported through emotion and gracefully accompanied by the works of some of the very greatest classical composers. This DVD will enchant horse and equitation enthusiasts.

To my noble and fastidious warriors whose beauty, power, finesse and generosity have forever moved my heart

We can all always try a little bit harder and do a little bit better. Whether you have just come last in your local show or just won Olympic gold, there is always room for improvement, even when the only record to beat is your own. At Blue Chip there is a continuous effort to do things better; whether competing with our own horses, developing new products or improving existing ones. Blue Chip always looks to take advantage of developments in both nutritional science and production techniques. Recent innovations have enabled Blue Chip to make the entire range molasses free, whole-cereal free and low in starch and sugars. In addition, each feed balancer in the Blue Chip range is now enhanced with naturally sourced vitamin E and nucleotides. Find out more about the benefits of nucleotides at www.bluechipfeed.com/nucleotides. All the feed balancers in the Blue Chip range now include: • A combination of scientifically proven digestive aids • Nucleotides • SoundHoof™: A complete hoof supplement • PrimoVento™: A respiratory supplement • A full complement of vitamins and minerals • Natural, fruit derived vitamin E • Antioxidants • A de-stressor • Omega oils • NO molasses or whole cereals

“If you think you have achieved all you can...

you’re not trying hard enough.”

Add a Blue Chip feed balancer to your horse’s diet to unlock their potential and ensure that they are getting the best that modern nutrition can provide.
