President’s Message
Our General Membership meeting held in June was a success. Several members were
there, and it was nice to meet some new people. Many thanks go out to Cindy Murray
from It’s All About the Horse for donating the goody bags, Cheryl Gray for doing the
grooming demonstration and to Bruce Lawrie, DDC member and his horse Zeke for being
the “model”. Bruce and Zeke were both good sports – Zeke got his mane pulled and the
several people took turns braiding on him.
Our June schooling show was full with a waiting list. Unfortunately I couldn’t be there
due to out of town guests, but I hear the show went pretty well. There are still two
more schooling shows on the calendar – October and December.
Our next recognized show is coming up quickly. It will be in Athens at the Henderson
County Fair grounds. I know it’s hot, but that show always seems to be fun and laid
back. We could always use a few more volunteers!
If you are a member of more than 1 GMO (i.e. – DDC and FWDC), you are due a refund
from USDF. Check out page 16 of this month’s USDF Connection for more information.
Be sure you do it before August 1 st , as that is the deadline for refund requests.

Ride with Clinician Carol Mc Ardle August 30-31, 2008
Carol’s classical dressage training crosses the boundaries among the German, Spanish, and French systems:
• German system while growing up in Great Britain and Germany
• French Classical approach during her years with Christopher Bartle (Saumur)
• In 2002 and 2003 at the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Equestre in Spain
Carol holds her Bereiter license from Germany and instructor’s license from Spain.
Carol helps develop the relationship riders wish they could have with their horse…a riding relationship where
the horse feels what the rider wants - and then responds.
