Letter from the President 

October 2002 

Some of you already know that in July I was laid off after 

almost 16 years at the same company. At the time of the 

layoff, I truly felt that it was a great opportunity to do 

something new – no bitterness was involved – I just felt a 

great sense of freedom to move on to different things. Some 

of the positions that I have been interested in I had realized I 

was hesitant to look at seriously as the work schedule and in 

some cases location would have impacted my other 

obligations including those of DDC. Luckily after the first 

scary month with no money, my finances had stabilized and 

I’ve had the opportunity to really contemplate what I want to 

be doing at this stage in my life. It’s amazing how little time 

we have in life to really think about what we should be doing 

with it – it seems to simply fly by and suddenly you realize a 

great deal of time has passed and you’ve missed what you 

had always considered to be your priorities. 

I had identified that simplifying my life is a key need – in 

order to make myself available for other job opportunities 

and to be spending my limited time and evidently decreasing 

energy on immediate goals and on positive things. So, I’ve 

been reevaluating my activities and my goals and trying to 

align them better. Well, here goes - the decision was made 

that I would no longer be involved with DDC. As this decision 

has sunk in the last week I’ve experienced such a sense of 

freedom – I’ve had the opportunity to plan activities not at all 

related to DDC and I admit I’m thrilled! I actually will have 

some time to ride my own horses instead of being at a DDC

or related function or being pursued about some other DDC 

issue. My instructor will be pleased that I’ll have some time 

now to come back for some lessons – I guess calling me a 

DDC slave at the Yellow Rose Festival helped to wake me 

up to this reality! Also, earlier this summer, I had the 

opportunity to purchase another incredibly bred off-thetrack 

Thoroughbred which I regretfully passed on along with 

a lovely broodmare. Among other considerations, one of 

the key considerations was that I didn’t really feel like I had 

the time to work with them. When I recently finally realized 

that I just passed on what I considered to be my priorities, 

then some things needed to be re-evaluated. The sellers 

will be happy that now I don’t feel that hesitancy. 

Working with DDC has contributed a great deal to my life 

and I believe I have contributed a great deal to DDC this 

past year or two. It does require dedication and time and 

energy that is hard to come by as sometimes the support 

just isn’t there. I hope that you as DDC members will be 

even more diligent to respond to the DDC’s board request 

for volunteers and help in the future – they can’t do it alone 

and for the club to be successful, everyone needs to 

contribute their time and energy and spread the work out. 

Once I’m re-employed full-time, I’m looking forward to 

narrowing my focus and meeting more of my Northeast 

Texas horsey neighbors. We have already a few DDC 

members in the area and I’m constantly running into folks 

that are interested in learning more about dressage. 

Growth is what I have always supported for the club – you 

have to attract those new to dressage and the kiddos to 

have students for the instructors. The more growth the more 

clinics and shows you can fill – the better for everyone! 

As a pictorial reminder to each of you that the club’s goal is 

the promotion of Dressage, look for some photos from the 

recent Musical Freestyle clinic. (& where were you during 

this event) If you see or feel that the club is veering away 

from that goal – you have as much voice in the direction of 

the club as anyone else. Speak up, come to meetings, 

forward your ideas to whichever board member you are 

comfortable with – don’t withdraw. Get involved! Help put 

on great events like this one by volunteering or 

participating - to the betterment of Dressage in the region. 

The last thing I want to see is DDC losing the forward 

momentum we’ve gained over the last year. Good luck to 

each of you in the pursuit of your dressage dreams and 

goals! Carol Farrow

Region 9 Fields Four to the 


Michelle Voorheese of College Station, TX, was team coach and 

chef d’equipe for Region 9’s Advanced Young Riders Team 

which headed to Wadsworth IL on Sunday, August 4 th . The 

Young Riders – Chelsea Braman of Rockwall, TX, (& DDC), 

Claire Darnell of Georgetown, TX, Chad Bohne of College 

Station, TX, and Erin Botts of LA, were making the trip thanks 

to the generous donations and fund-raising efforts of parents, 

trainers, friends, and GMO members. 

Fund-Raising 

#1 – everyone paying rapt attention to Sue Malone 

Casey as she and Jim go over the basics of Musical 

freestyle. 

Although the team got a late start on raising funds to support 

their efforts, they did make a sizeable dent in the per rider “bill” 

for the show – nearly $6,000! The horses to Illinois rode in style, 

as Equine Express had given the team a 50% discount on 

transport costs. More important than style, was the fact that the 

Equine Express vans allowed the horses to arrive in Wadsworth, 

Ill, with reduced strain and fatigue. The Charity “Dancing With 

Horses” fund-raiser hosted by the Garrett’s of College Station 

helped the team raise funds and as well as practice their freestyles 

before an audience. Numerous GMOs donated funds to the 

team, including FWDC and DDC. Other Region GMOs 

donated polo-shirts or other articles on the team’s “NEED” list. 

The team was still short many items, but parents and coaches 

have learned much about funding the team’s efforts. They

DDC Musical Freestyle 

Symposium: 

Marrying the Horse to 

Music and the Music to 

the Horse 

I admit it! I joined DDC to get the price break on the 

Freestyle Symposium. When a good friend told me 

about the clinic, I decided to register. On the day of 

the clinic, I headed for Bartonville bright and early. As 

I pulled up to Saddlebrook and drove between those 

majestic horse statues, I knew this was going to be a 

wonderful clinic. As a brand new member, I knew no 

one, but everyone was so friendly. I immediately 

received an envelope chock-full of information.

Down Center Line A----------X (whew!) 

Well, I would like to apologize to the membership for the tardiness of this 

newsletter. I was waiting on confirmation of Yellow Rose Breed Award winners 

from Susan Peacock and Silent Auction results from Linda Walker. The delay 

allowed me to add some current forms from the USDF website – specifically 

nomination forms for GMO Volunteer of the Year (by Region) and the Ruth Arvanette Scholarship form. I will be filling 

out that one for sure! 

The Board of Directors came to a consensus regarding our GMO’s nominees for the USDF GMO Journalism awards. We 

had a shortage of First Person articles to select from – only 3 really good ones. Perhaps a FWDC (and new to DDC) 

member’s first person article in this month’s Transitions will encourage you to write up clinic, lesson, or general interest 

article. Here are our nominees. Hopefully we’ll hear back that one, or two, or more won awards. I think they have a 

chance! 

Overall Newsletter – February and March 2002 

General Interest – “The Foibles of the Free Walk” by Lisa Avila 

Ask Naggy article – Body Clipping 

First Person - “Riding Lusitanos in Alcainca Portugal” by Sue Weakle y 

“Buying a Dressage Horse on a Budget” by Cathy Curtiss-Zumwalt. 

I hope you agree with our selections. 

Given Carol Farrow’s departure from the role as DDC’s President, I was asked to step into the position by the 

Board of Directors, to which I answered yes. I had the opportunity to move into the role of Vice President last Spring 

when Diane Huber resigned, but I declined, as I was in a comfort zone being DDC’s Publications Chair. At that time I had 

not yet completed a Prize List or Show Program, and felt I needed to know the publications job better. 

As DDC’s President, I hope to provide leadership and direction to the Board of Directors (BOD) and speak on a 

Regional and National level on behalf of DDC’s members and their interests. Carol leaves board members who have 

learned much from her knowledge and experience. DDC’s leadership team is a very talented and hard working group of 

people who have much to give to the Club. Our Committees are starting to fill with volunteers (yea!) which will make 

each board member’s job (and life) easier. If you peruse the by-laws, you will note that duties of each board member is 

really a full-time job, should that person attempt to work alone. 

I hope to have the agenda for each BOD meeting prepared a week in advance, and if possible published on the 

DDC website. I encourage members to attend our meetings – your presence and input is much appreciated. We will be 

planning activities for 2003 in November, budgeting and approving them in December. We already know that the Region 

9 Championships is our “Baby”; we will be focusing on planning that event throughout 2003. 

My seat as Publications Chair is officially open, and we need someone who would like to be a VOICE and a VOTE 

to join the board. If you are interested, contact Jennie Bohart – our new Vice President and Nominations Committee 

Chair. Cathy Curtiss, a member of the Publications committee, manages our website, and I’ve been requested to 

continue editing/compiling the newsletter. I will do so for now. Good riding and reading! Frances

Musical Freestyle Score sheets, a blank sheet of a 

dressage arena for planning purposes, and a USDF 

brochure on rules, guidelines and definitions 

regarding freestyle were all part of the packet 

prepared for each auditor. 

Jim Eldridge and Sue Malone-Casey began the clinic 

by explaining what types of freestyle there are: 

demonstration and competition. I had no idea how 

precise freestyle should be! Riding to music is not the 

only aspect of freestyle. You must determine your 

horse’s number of front footfalls at the walk, trot, and 

canter. Then you search for music to match your 

horse’s rhythm. Jim and Sue shared the ranges with 

us: 96-115 (+-6) for the walk, 138-168 (+-10) for the 

trot, and 93-105 for the canter. For those of you riding 

upper levels, the passage is 108-116. Jim and Sue 

also recommended watching any show videos of your 

horse and counting steps on the video since we all 

have experienced our horse’s surge of enthusiastic 

energy at new places. 

Our speakers shared a list of supplies that would help 

you create your own personalized freestyle. The list 

included: a metronome (Jim had a handy one he 

ordered through Dressage Today), a boom box (Sue 

loves her Dewalt Construction box sold at Lowe’s for 

$99.00 and DDC member, Beth, uses a Sony CD/tape 

combo that is water resistant that she purchased for 

$79), and a video of your horse. Several movements 

were suggested to include on the tape: walk, trot, 

canter (both ways) lateral work, extensions, small 

circles, transitions each direction, 20 meter circles, 

and passage. Sue strongly urged videotaping over 

several days. 

You may not have realized that you must have 

qualifying scores in order to perform a freestyle. If 

you ride First, Second, or Third Levels you must have 

a 65% on any test. Fourth Level requires a 63% on any 

test. 

Here’s the fun part: deciding what your music will be. 

Sue warned us to be certain the horse likes it. Sue 

recalled one mount she rode did not tolerate rock and 

roll and would make his dislike known by kicking out 

at the boom box each time she rode near it! And, you 

had better be certain that you like the music as well. 

You and your trusty steed will be listening to it A LOT! 

A theme for the music makes it a delight for the 

audience. Several themes were suggested. A few 

were: patriotic, movie soundtracks, TV jingles, all 

western, all piano, classical… Places to begin 

searching for music could be 

www.MP3instrumental.com, Amazon, or your favorite 

artist’s website. One thing Sue and Jim both 

mentioned is not to use music with words unless you 

want to make a statement. Instrumental music should 

be the music of choice. 

that your music starts within 60 seconds after the bell 

sounds. Once the music starts, you must be in the 

arena within 20 seconds. The judging for a freestyle 

begins after the halt. 

Once we went down to the arena, riders began 

showing Sue and Jim their horse’s gaits. Jim and Sue 

used their metronome to help determine the count of 

front footfalls. Once that was determined, the next 

step was playing music and watching as the horse 

moved through its gaits. They matched music to the 

horse’s personality as well as its gaits. We sat staring 

at their front legs to see if the leg struck the ground as 

the beat of the music vibrated. Sue and Jim were 

quick to notice whether the music “fit” the horse or 

not. 

With the gaits counted and the music selected, the 

planning of choreography began. Sue and Jim were 

very creative with the horse and rider’s entrance 

emphasizing the difference between riding a test and 

riding a freestyle. Yes, a halt and salute are still 

expected, but that’s where the similarity can end. It 

becomes a creative experience! The ride should be 

symmetrical (example: a 20 meter circle on the right 

lead should also be performed on the left), but this is 

where the artistic flair is nurtured and admired. Sue 

and Jim helped each rider put together a unique 

freestyle. What amazed this auditor was not only the 

creativity of the presenters, but also the memory of 

the riders. Sue and Jim planned, discarded, planned, 

revised, planned and improved as the rider listened 

and questioned. Then she went out and rode the final 

plan! 

Fellow auditor, Nina, and I tried to keep up with the 

plan as it emerged, but had some difficulty. Nina was 

sketching each move as I was frantically taking 

copious notes. Between the two of us, I think we 

finally got the plan. I want to practice riding these 

plans just for the joy of having a new pattern to 

practice. How refreshing! 

Freestyle is a wonderful artistic form of expression, 

one that shows off your horse’s beauty of movement 

with the powerful sounds of music surrounding him. I 

want to thank DDC for the opportunity to join and be a 

part of this exciting clinic. Donna Claunch 

Some technical details that our presenters shared 

before we went down to the arena were to be certain 


Dear Editor: 

I just wanted you to put a plug in for Carol Farrow and 

Elizabeth Jeter in the next DDC newsletter. They did a 

fantastic job on the Freestyle Clinic! The clinic went 

very well and was well done! Those of us who 

participated had a great time and learned so much. 

Every detail was addressed from the professional 

lectures with power point presentations to filling 

lunches. The facility was perfect thanks to Jim 

Eldridge. Sue Malone-Casey and Jim Eldridge worked 

well together, each bringing out the others' strong 

points. Everyone had the opportunity to choreograph 

a freestyle appropriate to their level of riding. These 

freestyles were presented with everyone helping to 

improve the overall presentation. I know I can't wait 

to see some of these rides at our shows, they will give 

everyone goose bumps! Everyone from auditors to 

participants learned what a challenge doing a freestyle 

is. Those who are competing presently had put in a lot 

of hard work and a lot of extra time in making these 

rides exciting to see. Thanks to Jim Eldridge, Sue 

Casey, Carol Farrow and Elizabeth Jeter, I too will be 

out there someday riding my freestyle! (Ok, all I need 

to do is get that elusive 65% at any first level test!) 

Thanks again for a job well done! 

Sincerely, 

Mary Hawkins and Eclipse

My Experiences at the North American 

Young Riders Championships!!! 

By Chelsea Braman 

As we pulled up to the show grounds in 

Wadsworth, Illinois, I was so excited, I had been dreaming 

of being here for years and now it had happened! I was 

about to begin the most exciting week of my life. 

That first day we settled in and got to know 

everyone a little bit better. We made our area “pretty” with 

flowers, plants, and a tent. When it was all finished, it 

looked great!!! Which is more than I can say for our tack 

room! With 5 tack boxes, 3 saddles, and 6 bridles, it was 

packed! By the end of the week the tack room had hardly 

any walking space, but somehow we still all knew where 

everything was!!! 

On August 6 th we had the trot out. Once in our 

matching polo shirts and khaki pants, we went with our 

shining horses (thanks grooms) to warm them up a little. All 

three horses passed!!! Although, I had to go twice because I 

turned the wrong way, Oops! I now know that you always 

turn your horse to the right!!! 

Over the next two days, Chad Bohne, Clarie 

Darnelle and I rode our team test. None of us made it to 

the individual test, which was a disappointment; we had all 

worked so hard. We decided since we would only be riding 

in the consolation ride, we would PARTY the rest of the 

week! The next day (August 9 th ) I watched all the individual 

rides with my trainer Donna Wright. I saw some amazing 

horses and riders. I think that our region 9 young riders 

have a lot of work ahead of us, to improve the quality of 

horses and riders, before we can become truly competitive 

in such a prestigious competition. After the rides finished 

Sarah Chirsty (groom), Andreanna Stucker (groom), Chad 

Bohne (rider), Erin Botts (team rider whose horse sadly 

went lame before the show) and I went to Six Flags and had 

a blast!!! We rode every ride in the park in less than 2 

hours! It was sooooo much fun!!! 

On the 10 th , we had the golf cart competition! We 

decorated the cart in a Mardi Gras costume. It turned out 

SO cute! When we were finished not one part of that golf 

cart remained uncovered! With streamers, shiny gold and 

purple paper, and TONS of Mardi Gras beads, we were 



Continued from page 7 Continued from page 3 

ready! We had to guide our drivers through an 

obstacle course - we knocked down a few thingsbut 

over all we had a great round!!! And we WON 

the golf cart competition!!! We also rode our 

consolation rides that day; I placed 8 th , Claire 6 th , 

and Chad 4 th . We all had some of the best rides we 

had ever had! It was wonderful, Wenzano and I 

became a team in that ride. He was awesome and 

listening 100 percent! My nerves melted away and I 

just rode from movement to movement. I knew 

that we had done the best that we could do. Our 

trainers and mom’s were proud of all of us. 

That Saturday, we also watched the 

dressage freestyles, the jump-offs, and saw some of 

the cross-country. We also went to the competitors’ 

party and had a blast!!! 

On Sunday, August 11 th , we attended the 

closing ceremonies. Standing on that field with all 

of the riders and hearing our national anthem was 

amazing. We were really hot under the sun, but it 

was worth it. After the ceremonies, we had to packup. 

Not only was it a lot of work, but it was really 

sad. We had all become such good friends -- it was 

hard knowing we only had one last night together. 

Everyone with the Region 9 team went out to eat 

at the Cracker Barrel – it took two big tables to seat 

us all!!! The food was great as was everything else 

we had eaten that week! We then went back to 

the hotel to sit in the hot tub for one last time! 

Sarah, Andy, Chad and I stayed up talking in the 

lobby till about 3 in the morning. Over the week 

we had all became such good friends and had 

learned what it means to be a part of a team! We 

made the Region 9 Young Riders Team the best 

team there was!!! We plan to keep in touch and get 

together at shows; I know that the friendships we 

made in that week will last a life time. Going to the 

North American Young Riders Championships was 

the best experience of my life!!! 

Chelsea Braman 

I just want to say a special thank you to all of the 

people that supported me and helped me get to 

Chicago!!! 

remain energized for the effort of YEAR ROUND fund raising, even 

before a team has been identified, qualified, or fielded. 

Like the Olympics 

The North American Young Riders Championships is considered to be 

the Olympics for young riders. Riders came to Illinois from across 

North America – including representatives from Canada, and other 

countries. Although Region 9’s horses were good; those of the winning 

riders were of international quality. The “team” is now on a mission to 

find better horses for the Region’s riders, whoever they may be. Region 

9 had a disadvantage in that only one member had ever been to the 

NAYRC before. Chelsea Braman turned 16 while at the show and 

Claire Darnell won’t be 16 until October. Jackie Paxton, the overall 

Gold Medal Winner, was 21 and had been to the NAYRC the previous 

2 years. 

Insight from a Trainer 

DDC Member Donna Wright attended the NAYRC with her student 

Chelsea Braman, and graciously provides some insight to improve 

Region 9’s performance (9 th Place). Critical to the team’s success in the 

future is need to get polished--with matching horse equipment, stall 

curtains, rider shirts and pants, etc. The team needs better, and earlier 

organization, it needs to develop a Plan/Strategy and have morning 

coordination meetings. Finally, Donna believes, the Region 9 Team, 

needs an aggressive person/manager--not a Trainer--to get this AYR 

program organized. v

Yellow rose Silent Auction 

WE had almost as much fun at the Yellow Rose Silent Auction as we did 

at the Annual Banquet Silent Auction, bringing in $588.50. This was 

fantastic being our fist Yellow Rose Silent Auction. Special thanks to our 

resident DDC member and our largest contributor, Linda Kenner, for 

donating all those beautiful pieces of jewelry, horsey cup (many people 

wanted a set of them), musical rocking horse, dressage license plate, 

leather bracelet, and much more. Also many, many thanks go to Equine 

Reflections for her beautiful Caballo hand-painted bust, marble coasters 

and hand crafted necklace, Lexol Products by Summit Industries, Elasto 

Reins and Rein Aid insert by Rein-Aid. We could not have done it without 

any of you. 

The two most sought after items were a green glass flash silver decanter 

(heard a prominent person say she’d “fill it and tie it to the saddle” – Way 

to Go!!) and a beautiful soap basket donated by Rose Hollow Farm aka 

Gretchen Holmquist. I even heard a rumor that a certain gelding was 

upset…if he had known about the silent auction, he would have donated 

another manicure or pedicure. 

Lets keep the donations coming. And fun bidding wars going on. It’s all 

for a good cause…The money goes directly to an organization chose by 

the DDC board. Next auction is the Annual Banquet so please start 

cleaning out your closets, tack rooms, and trucks for things to donate!

Lexington, Kentucky (September 18, 2002) - Wende Neitzel of Dallas, 

TX, recently won two United States Dressage Federation (USDF)/ Dover 

Saddlery Adult Amateur medals for excellent dressage performance. Riding Close The Deal, a 

7-year-old Brandenburg gelding, Neitzel was the top placing Second Level Adult Amateur in the 

Dressage in the Rockies I and II Shows (Parker, CO) held on August 1 and August 4, 2002. 

In conjunction with USDF, Dover Saddlery designed a program to acknowledge the 

accomplishments of the adult amateur rider, who typically balance the demands of career and 

family with their desire to ride and compete. The competitor with the highest score in a Second 

Level Adult Amateur class/division at a participating USA Equestrian/USDF recognized 

competition is awarded a hand-crafted pewter USDF/Dover Adult Amateur medal. 

[Editor’s Note: DDC Member Robin Hessell riding Der Sieger won the USDF/Dover Saddlery 

Adult Amateur Award at the recent DDC Yellow Rose Festival I and II with scores of 63.90% 

and 64.465% at Second Level Test #4] 


BONE-UP ON THE NEW SHOW-SEASON REQUIREMENTS 

USDF Press Release: IMPORTANT CHANGES TO USDF COMPETITION REQUIREMENTS **Effective October 1, 2002** 

October 1, 2002, is the beginning of the USDF 2002-2003 competition year. This date also marks the beginning of a new competition 

requirement for USDF/USA Equestrian-recognized shows. 

ð Every owner, rider, and horse must have a number recorded with USDF. Exceptions are allowed for persons and horses 

competing in USDF Introductory Level tests, pas de deux, and quadrille classes; and assistant handlers in dressage sporthorse-breeding 

classes. Also exempt are persons and horses in leadline, walk-trot, and academy classes. 

ð Membership Requirements 

• Current USDF participating, group, and intercollegiate/interscholastic members participating as owners and riders in 

USDF/USA Eq-recognized competitions must include a copy of their respective membership cards with their entry forms. 

• Current Business-membership numbers may be used for horse ownership only. 

• If the owner or the rider is not a USDF member (in any one of these categories), he or she must obtain a USDF nonmember 

identification number (NID) card in order to compete in a USDF/USA Eq-recognized competition. 

• There is no charge for an NID, and the USDF office will issue and mail an NID card. 

• If the card is lost or stolen, a replacement card will be issued for a fee of $10. 

• Please note that the NID is used for the purpose of compiling competition data for horses. It does not fulfill any 

requirements with respect to USDF awards eligibility. 

• Similarly, holding a group or intercollegiate/interscholastic membership alone does not render you eligible to compete for 

USDF year-end awards or the ABIC/USDF Regional Dressage Championships or qualifying classes. 

ð Horse Requirements 

• In order to compete at a USDF/USA Eq-recognized competition, a horse must have either USDF lifetime registration or a 

USDF horse identification number (HID). 

• If a competitor arrives at the competition without either of these, they must submit an application and payment for an HID or 

a lifetim e registration for your horse before their will be permitted to compete. 

• Effective immediately, applying for a USDF lifetime horse registration at the competition will render a competitor eligible to 

compete in ABIC/USDF qualifying classes. 

• Those planning to qualify for the ABIC/USDF Regional Championships must have applied for USDF lifetime horse 

registration before the competition or they must submit an application to the show secretary at the competition prior to riding 

in a qualifying class. 

• If a competitor applies directly to USDF and does not receive the lifetime horse registration number from USDF before the 

competition, they must complete a USDF affidavit of lifetime horse registration or present a letter of verification from USDF 

of their horse’s lifetime registration. 

• In order to compete for USDF year-end awards, in ABIC/USDF Regional Dressage Championship qualifying classes, or 

Cosequin/USDF Breeders’ Championship Series Finals, a horse must be lifetime-registered with USDF. Holding only an 

HID merely allows entry to classes that are not restricted to USDF lifetime-registered horses. If a horse is already USDF 

lifetime-registered, it does not also need an HID. 

ð Application Must Be Available at Competitions 

• The forms to be available at competitions to obtain either a lifetime horse registration or an HID number have spaces for 

competition name and number, date, and signatures. These forms should not be submitted by individual competitors; only 

competition show secretaries are to submit those forms to USDF. 

ð Membership and Horse-Recording Affidavits 

ð If proper documentation for horse, owner, and rider cannot be presented to show management at the competition, a USDF 

affidavit form must be completed. 

• The affidavit carries a fee of $5 per form; a horse may be included with a rider or owner on one form for one $5 fee. If the 

registration or membership cards are lost or stolen, a replacement card must be requested from USDF. The fee for 

replacement cards is $10. 

• After the show, the competition secretary must submit all membership, lifetime horse registration, HID, and affidavit forms to 

the USDF office with the appropriate fees, along with show results, within ten days of the show’s conclusion. Competitors 

will be able to view complete show results on the USDF Web site after the results have been entered into the USDF 

database. 

Reminder 

In order for scores earned at USDF/USA Eq-recognized competitions to count toward USDF year-end awards; to compete in ABIC/USDF 

Regional Dressage Championships qualifying and championship classes; and to compete in Cosequin/USDF Breeders’ Championships 

Series Finals classes, an application for USDF lifetime horse registration must be completed before competing. Horses with only an HID 

will not be eligible for year-end awards , and scores will not count for the above championships. Please contact the USDF Competitions 

Department at (859) 271-7895 with any questions, and best wishes for a great show season!

recently serving as the club’s membership chair, Cathy Curtiss-Zumwalt 

is giving up her seat at the table to Susan Sturdivan-Brownlee. Cathy’s 

been a great asset to the club and will remain so as webmistress. Cathy 

will also be spending more time with her new horse “Sunny” a 

Warmblood cross, her new husband and her new job! She’s also 

planning to spend more time focusing on her graphics arts business –

DDC events -- or else your picture may appear on the website 

unexpectedly! 

Susan comes to us with much experience in the membership arena 

from the North Texas Arabian Horse Club. She lives in Sunnyvale and 

offered to step into the position, as there were no nominees for the 

General Election on August 17 th . Cathy and Susan are in the transition 

process, but Susan will be “official” as of the next board meeting, when 

she is formally “seated” by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.

Secretary: Sara was absent. Quorom present. Need to approve the July 

minutes. Unsure if Sara has completed the Thank You cards -–the 

secretary will be responsible for maintaining and distributing Thank 

You cards. It was suggested that all board members keep a few cards 

just in case they need to send one out. If the board member does not 

want to send the thank you cards they need to send the recipient 

information to the secretary so he/she can distribute. 

Vice-president: Jenny was nominated for vice-president, but cannot 

formally vote at the meeting. The previous bylaws were discussed. The 

biggest changes were to the board positions. Frances Luse outlines all 

changes for discussion. This was brought up to clarify current bylaws. 

State of the officers: Carol Farrow will remain president. Jenny Bohart 

was nominated for vice-president. Doreen Atkinson is treasurer. Debbie 

Stucker volunteered to run for the secretary’s role. Pauline may be 

handling awards/ scholarships. Membership is still open. 

Treasurer: Doreen Atkinson was absent. The rough figures suggest that 

the Spring Show ended up making more than $5,000. We will get more 

exact figures. Overall, it was agreed that the pricing of DDC shows is 

comparable or cheaper than other shows. Made a good profit on the last 

schooling show. 

Membership: Need to send in a member update to USDF. Are we 

creating another poster for the Yellow Rose festival Discussed 

memberships bulletin board. The renewal forms will be sent out on 

colored paper in the newsletter. A postcard will be sent to non-renewed 

members for 2002. Need to update the membership application on the 

website. 

Newsletter: Frances Luse handed out correct financials for August and 

July. August cost was $129.86 and July cost was $165.99. A few people 

have not paid their advertising bills. Frances is receiving 

newsletter/member updated from Catherine Curtiss. Gretchen will be 




doing the newsletter for September since Frances Luse will not be here. 

Gretchen may also end up doing the show program as well. Frances 

requested that Catherine talk to her trainer for a trainer profile for the 

newsletter. Can we get profiles for other instructors, farriers, etc. Frances 

emailed out nominees for GMO newsletter awards to BOD, she also 

presented copies at the meeting. Frances requested that everyone review 

the nominees and vote on which to send in. She needs the votes before 

Labor Day weekend.

recognized shows and the championships. Also need official dates and 

show numbers. Ed Lavellee provided USAE numbers to Frances Luse. 

Carol Farrow will get the USDF, NAYRC, and SWDC numbers. Carol 

Farrow will also locate the LCEC contract. 

Website: Need photos for the logowear. Need to contact the Spring Show 

photographer to determine what we should do with the breed award 

photos. If the photography doesn’t want them, we would like to send them 

to the winners. Catherine Curtiss will remain webmaster for the time 

being. 

Ads/Sponsorships: We have over $5,000 for ads/sponsorships for the 

Yellow Rose. We also have many product donations. If anyone has any 

other sponsorship/ad ideas let Gretchen know. We need to decide who 

gets what prizes and make sure we thank people donating their time, 

resources, etc.

with these tasks. Linda Walker needs to provide a list of needs to the 

DDC so that they can find people to help her. Linda provided a sample 

invitation for the annual banquet. 

Awards/Scholarships: The perpetual awards from last year need to be 

picked up around December 1 st , 2002. Linda will followup with previous 

award winners. Pauline is getting ramped up to take this over. Need to 

revisit the promised Junior/Presidency award and the Beduhn training 

level award. Discussed potential awards for next year. 

Scholarship money was given to a DDC member so that they could 

attend a clinic. Since it was discussed after the decision was made, a postaward 

vote was made (see below under Votes). 

Frances Luse volunteered to head up the scholarship sub-committee. 

Recognized Shows: Frances Luse has the budget sheet for the prize list. 

Frances also bought a stapler to use for programs, etc. since the printers 

charge more for that service. There was discussion on if we should use the 

Omnibus for next year’s prize list. Need to organize the USAE Dressage 

Seat Equitation medal program classes for 2003. The board discussed 

reducing the number of rings to 3 for next year. Frances will be coming up

HOW REGIONS WORK 

At the request of several members this will, for a while, be a 

continuing series in this monthly article. At the request of 

members and chairs the first topic will be finances. 

Each USDF region has a regional account. This is not a checking 

account in the normal since of the word or like those of 

GMO’s. There is one bank account at USDF that holds the 

funds for all of the regions. Within each region there are 

sub fund accounts set-up for specific purposes. In Region 9, 

the specific purpose sub funds are General, Education, 

Horse show, Junior/Young Rider, Advanced Young rider, 

and Omnibus. USDF uses internal accounting to keep tract 

of each region's total balance and specific purpose balances. 

There is a check and balance system to prevent the misuse 

of funds. 

In order to make disbursements (write checks) the regional 

treasurer, Mandy Meyers or I must fill out a “request for 

payment form” complete with explanation and, if applicable, 

invoices then fax and/or mail that form with both our 

signatures on it to USDF. Then the form must be signed by 

the executive director of USDF before the check can be cut 

and mailed. The form requires us to designate which specific 

sub account to check is written out of. 

To make a deposit we must fill out a form “request to 

deposit” With both Mandy and my signatures on it and mail 

that with the check to the USDF main office. We are 

required to designate which sub account it is to be 

deposited into. There is a method to deposit directly into 

USDF's bank account without going through Mandy. Leigh 

has deposit slips that are used to deposit large items 

resulting from the Omnibus. 

We get a statement of the account from USDF monthly. 

Copies of these are sent to Mandy, the AYR chair and me. 

This should show the break down of every deposit and 

withdrawal and which sub account it goes or comes from. 

They are then checked for accuracy against Mandy’s 




records. Sometimes adjustments have to be made because 

something was credited or debited to/from the wrong sub 

account. 

In our region each chair is asked to send in a budget then 

Mandy and I work on the general budget. This is presented 

for approval at the summer meeting. Also presented at the 

summer meeting is the financial statement. This year there 

was a problem of not having an accurate financial statement 

to work from. The most current statement we had was 

from March. Because of that the approvals were tabled and 

will be addressed at the Fall meeting. 

At this years summer meeting a procedure was voted in 

that requires each chair to present a budget for approval 

and that they can not receive reimbursement for any 

amount that exceeds the approved budget amount without 

authorization of the region finance committee who will be 

the Regional director, regional treasure and 3 additional 

persons to be chosen by the membership at a regional 

meeting. 

There are times like with the AYR that the Region director 

and the chair can make disbursements. Like happened this 

year when we received income we had not expected, but 

was targeted, and were able to payout more than we had 

expected. 

Also there are restrictions (nationally not regionally) on 

what can and can not be paid for. For example with the 

AYR account we can not give a disbursement to Mary Jane, 

an individual, but can pay the entry fees for the entire team. 

The same is true with the Jr/YR and Adult Ed. account. 

If a member of region 9 has specific questions about a 

certain account or the current financial state of the region 

then they are welcome to contact Mandy and ask. 

GENERAL NOTES 

Don’t forget to check the Region 9 web page regularly. It is 

updated with changes and added information often.

underneath the leather-clad boohinny of my person, I am 

begging you for help! He is from a place called “Not 

Texas” and I just don’t understand something that he does. 

What’s up with the merry-go-round horse, walking in a 

circle, treatment at the beginning and end of my exercise 

program How can I convince my person to just Giddy-up 

and giddy-off and return me to the shower room for my 

hose down and fan dry 

Meltdown in Mexia 

Dear Melty, 

I have heard of this place called “Not Texas” and it must 

be very cold! They have to warm-up their horses and then 

cool them down when done. What your person doesn’t 

understand is that here in Texas, 90 degrees is warm 

enough! A little stretching time and off you go. Instead of 

those endless circles at the start and end of your exercise, 

a cooling bath from the hose is much better than more 

time in the sun. Of course, in the winter, you will 

appreciate the merry-go-round treatment. 

Keep hiding those spurs, 

Naggy

“The Personal Side” 

Profiling Equine Industry Leaders 

The First in a Series 

Dr. David Celella DVM 

Rockwall Equine Center Inc. 

When you ask Dr. David Celella about his commute to work each day, he shouldn’t have anything negative 

to say. Dr. Celella built his home back in 1995 approximately 100 yards away from his very unique equine 

veterinary practice that he designed himself with the help of his father who is a builder. 

Dr. Celella grew up in the northeast part of the United States. He spent the majority of his early 

years in Connecticut. The winters were a little extreme for him so when he was ready for college he moved 

down to Texas in 1980. In 1989, Dr. Celella came fresh out of Texas A&M’s School of Veterinary Medicine and 

went to work for a veterinary practice in Rockwall. After three years here, he took up the chance to buy out 

the practice. With 2 ½ years at the same location, Dr. Celella came across an opportunity that he realized 

may happen only once in a lifetime. He was offered a chance to purchase 35 acres in the city of Terrell 

(right on the border of Rockwall) where he could set up his equine practice. Dr. Celella and his family 

agreed that this type of opportunity could not be passed up while they had the chance. He jumped on the deal 

and has not looked back since 1994 when they broke ground on Rockwall Equine Center Inc. 

Dr. Celella lives on his facilities with his wife of 14 years, Lauri, and their two daughters, Hannah 

(4 ½ ) and Abby (3). Besides working with horses for his career, Dr. Celella and his family share horses as 

a hobby as well. They own one Appaloosa, one Quarter horse, and two quarters in training. He has been an 

active cutting horse rider for many years, and Lauri has done everything from jumping, to barrels to halter. 

In addition to his expertise as a veterinarian, Dr. Celella is an accomplished sculptor. He has one of his 

detailed pieces of work proudly displayed on the coffee table in his waiting room. 

From its beginnings as a hidden equestrian center with a few patients, Rockwall Equine Center Inc. has 

grown to a 75-100 patient per week practice. With over 3000 clients in Dr. Celella’s database, his practice 

is still growing. He has many more great ideas of how he is going to improve his practice even more in the 

future. 

It did not take long for Dr. Celella to realize that he would be in over his head if he did not get 

some additional staff to keep up with his demand. He now has one other full-time veterinarian, Dr. Martin 

Ransom, as well as a new graduate who is in the training process. In addition, he has an extremely friendly 

staff of vet techs and assistants that bring his total practice to 9 employees. 

Dr. Celella’s greatest professional accomplishment came in 1999 when he was voted the Texas Equine 

Practitioner of the Year. This award was so significant to Dr. Celella because it is voted on by your 

veterinarian peers. Dr. Celella obviously has gained a great deal of respect in the industry for his own 

competition to vote him veterinarian of the year. 

Dr. Celella’s suggestions to those interested in a career in the equine field is to remain positive 

and get involved now because the industry is doing very well. There is a demand for equine veterinarians 

today that was not there ten years ago. About 60% of Dr. Celella’s patients come to him now. This was not 

the case a few years ago because he had to go where the customers needed him. Now with all of the advanced 

(and also expensive) equipment, horse-owners know that they need to go to the office to be sure they are 

receiving the best quality treatment. 

Other than having a number of the Dallas Dressage Club members as patients, Dr. Celella has not had 

the opportunity to get very involved with the club. He said that he would be happy to help out in any way 

possible whether by simply answering questions, or speaking at a seminar in the future. 

If you have any questions, or would like to learn more about Dr. Celella’s practice at the Rockwall 

Equine Center Inc. he and his staff can be reached at 9385 Co. Road 2432 Terrell, TX 75160. Phone 

972.524.6616 fax to 972.551.0855.

PART 3 – ADVANCED DRESSAGE TRAINING (FEI) by Carol Farrow 

This third and final session looks at the 

issues presented to the Advanced 

Rider/Horse. 

There should be a general Training Plan 

for 12 months. 

• Start at the level you are starting from 

• Identi fy the level you want to achieve 

• ID the appropriate shows in the Horse 

Show season 

• Look at holidays 

• Identify soundness 

• Look at the available time per day to 

train 

Then look at greater details for 3 months: 

• Education time/Show time 

• Soundness 

• Movements to achieve 

• Temperament and experience of the 

horse 

• Weekly/daily plan as a result of the 

above. 

Don’t put any hard work in before the 

horse show or the horse will connect it to 

the horse show. You can’t train the horse 

during the show season - you have the 

training time then you have the show 

season to show what you’ve accomplished. 

Use Half Halts for: 

• Transition from canter to trot or trot to 

walk 

• Transition from extension to collection 

• Help for developing collection 

• Preparation for movement 

• Turns 

• Improvement of Self Carriage 

• Improvement of concentration towards 

the rider 

• Improvement of inner tranquility (more 

body contact) 

Criteria for suppleness and relaxation: 

• Regular and elastic trot 

• Swinging back 

• Elastic & soft in neck 

• Yields to the reins on both hands and 

mouths the bit 

• Sometimes horse blows through the 

nose (sigh) 

• Same degree of bend on both hands 

• Fluid bend from one direction to 

another. Crest of neck should tip 

slightly to inside. 

• Always take rein correctly as offered 

by the rider. 

• Horse allows himself to be driven 

forward on a loose rein. 

Movements to get collection: 

• Half Halt 

• Lateral movements (except leg yield) 

• Counter canter 

• Rein back 

• Pirouettes 

• Piaffe 

Influence of rider is key element. If 

position or aids are incorrect, it will be 

impossible to develop collection. 

Thoroughness/Submissiveness: 

Willingly, obedient 

Put down heels - horse moves off. 

Close hands - horse stops 

Can go through the horse with your aids 

willingly. 

Practical Training and Scale of Training: 

Conformation/Temperament of the horse 

Level of the horse 

Riding ability/temperament of the rider. 

Lateral movements: 

• Shoulder in 

• Travers 

• Counter shoulder in 

• Renvers 

• Half pass (travers on a diagonal line) 

Ride it along two rails. 

• These are key elements to higher works 

The training concept: 

• Prepare 

• Do it 

• Reward 

• Don’t forget the limit - have to go to 

the limit of the horse in order for it to 

learn. 

The Systematical Approach: 

• Secure base of knowledge and ability 

• Do necessary work prior to introducing 

the movement (may take a few weeks 

preparation) 

• Rider’s ability 

• Work on the movements step by step 

Rider learns to ride with quietness & 

determination with the whole body not 

just the legs. 

To work on Piaffe/Passage, you can 

reinback directly from the trot. 

Shortening of the trot by using a 10m 

square, which encourages Passage. Volte 

encourages piaffe. 

Key for the horse is that any training 

needs to be systematical and logical. 

Riding format - 1 hour: 

• 25 minutes of warmup with cavaletti 

• 20 minutes of work 

• 10 minutes of cooling down 

• Ridden 5 days out of the week 

Once you get a few good steps, stop and 

reward. If the horse does a good job, 

jump off and take them back to their stall 

(reward). 

Thoughts about appearance of horse: 

• should be light and easy 

• correct frame 

• uphill structure 

• swinging, elastic seat of rider 

• almost invisible aids 

• correction of mistakes 

• behavior in special situaions 

• Harmony is the goal. 

• No signs of stress or tiredness. 

Conrad Schumacher came to the Dallas 

area for a USDF Sponsored Region 9 

Junior/Young Rider Seminar in February 

2002. He also presented at the National 

Dressage Symposium in Kentucky April 

12-14, 2002. Mr. Schumacher has 

coached European Champions, Olympic 

medallists, World Champions and his 

students have won close to 40 

international medals. 


Tired of the same old routine 

Do You: 

Have a horse that only your trainer can ride 

Have a horse that you can’t ride out of the arena 

Feel bored of the same old routine 

Want to develop a stronger more secure relationship 

with your horse in a fun learning environment 

Dressage training does not need to be all about 

riding circles in the sand…… 

Jennifer Weems is offering a new program called 

interactive dressage training. 

The interactive dressage program consists of: obstacle 

course training, trail riding, long line work, swimming, and 

more. This work allows you to build on your riding skills on 

schooled horses, while your own horse learns to build up his 

confidence and training. Whether your interests are 

showing or pleasure, or you just want to add some fun into 

your current riding program, let the interactive dressage 

program help build your confidence in the saddle, and a 

greater trust between you and your horse. 

Weekend or monthly classes available.

A GROOM’S PERSPECTIVE 

Of the NAYRC Championships. 

Hi, my name is Andreanna Stucker and this past summer I attended the North American 

Young Riders Championships in Illinois with my best friend, Chelsea Braman, as her groom. This 

horse show is only for young riders, ages 16 to 21 and it includes competitions in eventing, 

dressage, and show jumping. Chelsea had trained all Spring and qualified to join our Region 9 

Team at the championships. I had just bought a new horse that I am hoping to qualify with next 

year for the NAYRC and knew that going this year would be a great opportunity for me to see 

all that goes on, before actually having the pressures of competing there myself. 

The first couple days included setting up and schooling the horses in the many different arenas 

and getting the horses all groomed for the trot out. I really got to know Wenzano, the horse 

Chelsea was competing with, and enjoyed getting him ready and beautiful for the show arena. 

Of course, the show was not just all work for the riders and grooms; we had fun going to Six 

Flags, walking around the mall, and eating the great food there. On the competition days, the 

whole team had specific ride times at which to compete and then the team enjoyed watching some 

of the other regions riding their tests and freestyles. 

This championship show is a very tough competition and some of the horses there made your 

jaw drop open. The competitors were amazing riders and the teams these riders made with their 

horses were outstanding. Chelsea and Wenzano did a great job and really stood up to the 

pressures of such a high level of competition extremely well. The whole Region 9 team became 

really close and by the end, we really were a team. One of my highlights was the golf cart 

competition. We decorated our golf cart in the style of Mardi Gras, and we won the whole 

contest. Watching the NAYRC 

was truly one of the biggest 

learning experiences of my life, 

and I am so grateful to have 

had this opportunity and 

congratulations to Chelsea for 

a wonderful job on Wenzano!

WORLD EQUESTRIAN GAMES 

2002 

Jerez, Spain, September 10-22, 2002 

Check out the official website for news and events: 

www.jerez2002weg.com/ 

US riders Debbie McDonald, Sue Blinks, Guenter Seidel, 

and Lisa Wilcox, captured the silver medal in team 

dressage competition at the 2002 World Equestrian Games 

(WEG) in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, on September 12. 

Also in the team dressage competition, Germany took 

home the gold medal, and Spain was awarded the bronze. 

Debbie McDonald riding BRENTINA was second in the 

Grand Prix Special with 76.12%, behind Spanish rider 

Beatriz Ferrer-Salat on BEAUVALAIS whose 77% captured 

the top spot. Lisa Wilcox was 4 th with RELEVANT with a 

74.40%. 

“Just wanted to weigh in with a "Well Done" for the DDC 

show. It was my first recognized show ever and I had a 

blast. I spoke with Linda Walker last evening re picking up 

my ribbon and test for the last class and she told me to 

pass along my comments to you. While I know that some 

people were complaining about low scores from Paula 

Kierkegaard, I wanted to let you know that I thought she 

was wonderful. Her comments were extremely helpful for 

future improvement and frankly, I thought her scoring was 

dead on. I understand that we all want scores at 60% or 

above, but the main thing is to learn and she really helped 

me (as a dressage novice) understand some basic 

problems and gave me some insight on how to solve them. 

For me, that's what a judge is supposed to do. Again, 

thanks to all of you who worked so hard to make this show 

a very pleasant and inspirational experience.”

Rose Festival II Thoroughbred High Point Award 

Winner 

[Editor’s Note: BTW, Bailee Harris received two 10’s from 

Paula Kierkegaard on center-line movements during one of 

her Training Level tests. Way to go Bailee!! ] 

Germany took the Gold and Bronze Medals in the 

Dressage Individual Finals, with Spain taking the Silver. 

Americans Debbie McDonald and Lisa Wilcox finished well
