<strong>2017</strong><br />

PRESIDENT’S CORNER<br />

Obviously, I do a lot of Dressage judging. I see all types of tests and combinations of<br />

horses and riders on the quest to show and to improve. There are a number of things that<br />

happen when I judge. One is that I find I can barely contain my overflowing love of horses<br />

as my judging day progresses. They are just so beautiful and quirky and magnificent in all<br />

of their own ways. By the middle of the day, I can barely wait to get back to the wonderful<br />

horses at my barn. Another thing that happens is that I marvel at the fortitude and the<br />

optimism of riders facing so many fears, risks, nerves, uncertainties, excitement, joy, elation,<br />

disappointments as their tests either rise or fall to their expectations. Riders really put<br />

themselves out there and I find nothing but admiration for that 6 minute trial that I have the<br />

privilege of viewing. Probably one of the most difficult combinations to judge is the older<br />

horse who has a lot of knowledge to offer but has lost much of its suppleness and loftiness<br />

because of age. It is a safe horse and can teach the rider much of the upper level<br />

movements yet doesn’t always offer the rider the most comfortable ride. Usually the riders<br />

are less experienced, trying to learn, hoping to earn scores towards awards and<br />

medals. The picture is not always so harmonious because the rider often tries to push<br />

bigger gaits than she can sit or manage and the horse loses balance by ending up strung<br />

out and flat. So I think the rider can be disappointed and frustrated as the test progresses<br />

onto the forehand and against the bridle. The scores end up not as great as the rider had<br />

hoped. BUT, what I hope that the rider takes away after riding a test like this, is that riding<br />

for accuracy and correctness rather than volume and expressiveness will teach so much<br />

more than trying to make that schoolmaster what he was when he was young or trying to<br />

ride at a volume that is difficult to manage. The schoolmaster can teach a rider how to<br />

control the tempo and the balance, how to get the correct position and alignment, how to<br />

prepare for transitions and figures. All of these things can result in consistent scores and<br />

the obvious benefits of education. It rarely benefits the test to try to make an older<br />

schoolmaster look like a 5 year old Totillas. Rather show that he has taught you how to be<br />

correct. It all comes down to the bottom line when we train and ride our horses in shows no<br />

matter what discipline: we want to have the ability to teach and train our horses to be our<br />

partners in a dance.<br />

Spotlight On Our <strong>Member</strong>s<br />

This month I would like to introduce Judie Klapholz. She has an interesting story to tell – so let's hear it!<br />

One sunny Southern California day, 3 1/2<br />

years ago, sitting at my desk in our<br />

Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles home I<br />

turned to my husband and much to his<br />

astonishment said “I’m ready”! He knew<br />

exactly what I meant. After 32 years of a<br />

very exciting, fulfilling and adventurous life<br />

and career in Los Angeles I was ready for a<br />

change. A big lifestyle change - I was ready<br />

for a life with our horses on our terms, our<br />

property and our barn rules. Before I met my<br />

husband he lived the ranch life in Colorado<br />

and was leaning towards a less rigorous<br />

lifestyle…he acquiesced and I couldn’t have<br />

done it without him.<br />

I found the Carolina Foothills from scouring the internet for equestrian communities and eliminated<br />

most states. California was out; drought, too expensive, Pacific Northwest, Mid-West, Northeast too<br />

cold; too rainy, South and Southwest, too hot, etc, etc. We liked the idea of being closer to family and<br />

since they live on the East Coast, we checked that box. We began our search in Asheville, NC - great<br />

city, love it! We were disappointed the right property didn’t present itself and that the equestrian<br />

community wasn’t what we were hoping.<br />

“You need to check out the Tryon, NC and Landrum, SC area if you want beautiful horse farms and lots<br />

of horsey people,” our real estate agent advised. And so here we are in Campobello, SC with 72 acres of<br />

pasture and woodland, 4 horses (for now), 1 dog, 1 cat, an 8-stall barn, a covered arena, a house, a guest<br />

apartment, groundskeeping, overall maintenance, etc and all the worry, effort and responsibility that<br />

goes with it. I wouldn’t trade it for anything…<br />

Born and raised in New York, I moved to Los Angeles in 1982 when it was still a relatively “sleepy”<br />

town. My career in health services in the for and non-profit world included program planning &<br />

development, public policy, marketing & communications. I’m especially honored to have been<br />

involved in developing prevention & treatment and social media programs in the early years of the<br />

HIV/AIDS epidemic. I spent a few years working in the entertainment industry as a production<br />

coordinator and location manager. I even got 15 minutes of fame on an episodic comedy television<br />

series!<br />

My parents couldn’t understand why I was drawn to horses. From the time I started riding in 1982 until<br />

they passed away several years ago, they kept scratching their heads in bewilderment. I know I got the<br />

itch from my beloved grandfather who had a chicken farm in New Jersey and adored horses as well. I<br />

have always had an affinity to country life. I know that my parents would be very proud of this farm. I<br />

named it in their honor…FelaSam Farm.


Currently we own an 11 year old, very opinionated, stubborn, pretty Appendix mare named Dancer.<br />

She’s out of our 22 year old OTTB mare, Daniella, Daniella has a heart of gold and is still raring to get<br />

back on the track. We’ve owned her since she was 8. Then there’s our big, stocky, lumbering 16 year old<br />

Percheron/TB gelding named Bubba, who’s a bully with other horses and a puppy dog with humans.<br />

You need a lot of leg or spurs on him and then he’s off as well. And there’s Dinero, 14 year old<br />

Oldenberg gelding. Dinero’s registered name is Another Day Another Dollar (how apropos). At 16.3<br />

he’s tall and elegant, is a beautiful mover and an excitable jumper. It’s taken dedication, a lot of hard<br />

work and patience getting in a groove with him. It’s been a challenge for both of us. We made great<br />

strides this past year and I finally felt that bond that was eluding us…and then 5 months ago he injured<br />

his knee. He went through surgery, months of rehab and a limited activity prognosis. I was devastated,<br />

heartbroken and discouraged. We’re not sure how much jumping if any he’ll be able to handle but I’ve<br />

made peace with his condition. He’s mine, I’ll always take care of him, I’ll keep him in shape with as<br />

much work as he can handle and watch him and the others munch grass in the lush pastures.<br />

One of many things I really like to do is treasure hunting. Well, I couldn’t have chosen a better place to<br />

relocate. I love checking out the goods at the Thrift Barn, Savvy Scavenger or Red Dog Relic to name a<br />

few. Some of my best pieces came from estate sales and thrift stores. Gardening has always been a joy<br />

and though I tell myself each year not to plant too many tomato plants, I still do. There’s nothing<br />

yummier than baking blueberry pies from freshly picked Carolina blueberries, or swimming in the pool<br />

with our delightful, charismatic, Great Pyrenees/St Bernard adopted puppy named Scarlett and winding<br />

down at the end of day, watching exceptional sunsets, sipping a cocktail, listening to music and<br />

researching our next adventure.<br />

I am very fortunate and grateful that my husband shares my passion for horses and travel. We plan our<br />

trips around 5-7 days of horse riding. Before and after the rides we sightsee and explore. What a blast!<br />

We’ve ridden the high country in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado with our daughters and last summer<br />

we took them to Iceland. Tolting is absolutely invigorating and the ponies are patient, sweet,<br />

uncomplicated and delightful. We had an awesome adventure tracking the Big Five on German-trained<br />

horses on safari in South Africa. We did cross country courses on the beloved Irish Sport horse in<br />

Ireland. We went from gites to gites on a self-guided tour on Anglo-Arabs in the French Pyrenees. We<br />

rode the calmest Texas quarter horse stallions in Mexico. We galloped through fields on Criollos in<br />

Patagonia, Chile with the Cuernos Paine peaks in the background. We reached an altitude of over 14,000<br />

ft in the Andes on the heroic backs of beautiful, smooth gaited Peruvian Pasos in the Andes.<br />

I joined <strong>FRC</strong> a year and a half ago to be part of a community, meet people and, make friends. The topics<br />

and presenters at the educational seminars are informative and enjoyable. The <strong>FRC</strong> shows are warm and<br />

supportive environments that are, well organized. <strong>FRC</strong>’s mandate to give to other non-profit<br />

organizations is commendable.<br />

I look forward to getting to know more <strong>FRC</strong> members, volunteering, finding my next mount and letting<br />

you all know about our next adventure…


May <strong>FRC</strong> Seminar<br />

Equestrians Uncorked<br />

It was the third Wednesday in May yet the Depot stood empty, where had all those crazy horse folks<br />

gone? To the hills!<br />

<strong>FRC</strong> took a break from the norm and instead<br />

gave 24 lucky ladies the opportunity to wine, dine<br />

and learn to PAINT! <strong>FRC</strong> teamed up with Pet<br />

POPS artist Katherine Rausch and Mountain<br />

Brook Vineyards to host our very first<br />

“Equestrians Uncorked: A Wine and Paint<br />

Event”.<br />

All attendees sent photos of their favorite fourlegged<br />

friends to have sketched on canvas prior<br />

to the event. Everyone filled their plates, tipped<br />

their glasses, and picked up their paint brushes.<br />

As Katherine slowly guided our artists to<br />

success, Dennis and Miriam Lanahan poured<br />

tastings of each of their seven award-winning wines. It was truly a treat to sip on wine made from the<br />

grapes in the vineyard spread out below. The view of the Blue Ridge as the sun slowly set was picture<br />

perfect from the wrap-around second-story porch of Mountain Brook’s new tasting room.<br />

Okay, okay...so the food was great. The views were great. The wine was great. The painting was great,<br />

but what was the BEST? The people. That is what makes this club truly wonderful. The evening was full<br />

of conversation and community that just can’t be compared to anything else. Some people were new,<br />

some have been around for a few, but everyone was friendly and there wasn’t a dull moment all night<br />

long.<br />

Thanks to all who continue to make these<br />

events a success. We get better and better<br />

because YOU get better and better. We’ll see<br />

you next month...bring a friend!

Jennifer Roth Ride-A-Test Clinic<br />

On a bright, beautiful Saturday morning riders began arriving as Motlow Creek Equestrian Center<br />

opened its lovely facility to <strong>FRC</strong> for the Jennifer Roth Ride-A-Test Clinic.<br />

Elaine Sweet gets some expert<br />

coaching from Jennifer.<br />

Each rider entered the ring,<br />

allowing their horse to acclimate<br />

to the new surroundings, and<br />

introduced themselves to<br />

Jennifer. At the ring of a bell<br />

they had 45 seconds to begin<br />

their test. The pairs rode their<br />

tests as they would at a<br />

traditional dressage show and<br />

Jennifer scored each of their<br />

movements with her expert eye.<br />

After each test was complete, Jennifer went over her scores and remarks.<br />

She then spent the remaining time to give each combination a mini-lesson<br />

that focused on the weaknesses of the test. Auditors listened intently as they<br />

gained new insight with each ride.<br />

The primary goal of the <strong>FRC</strong> Education Committee is to provide members with<br />

enduring learning experiences and Jennifer provided just that. She filled<br />

riders’ toolboxes with tips and tricks that will continue to help as each<br />

progresses through the levels of dressage. <strong>FRC</strong> also provided each<br />

rider with a video of their entire ride (as captured by Eric Olsen).<br />

The video, paired with a scored dressage test, and Jennifer’s minilesson<br />

instruction provides riders with an opportunity so see the<br />

action and the scores add up.<br />

It was truly a wonderful day. This club is unique in that one<br />

moment a 20+ year old rescued Belgian draft can be working<br />

through an Intro Level Western<br />

Dressage Test and at the very<br />

Chad and<br />

“Charlie”<br />

take<br />

direction.<br />

Jennifer gets up close<br />

and personal with<br />

Kirsten Wilkerson’s<br />

handsome mount<br />

“Prince”.<br />

next will be a 4th level pair will be pirouetting on “X”. It was a sight to be<br />

seen and truly speaks to how the sport of dressage is so versatile and<br />

applicable at all levels.<br />

“Delovely”<br />

seems pretty<br />

proud of her<br />

fancy<br />

footwork after<br />

her ride with<br />

Lisa Brown.<br />

<strong>FRC</strong> thanks Sally Frick and the Motlow Creek farm<br />

family for being so welcoming and helpful. Additional<br />

thanks to our wonderful volunteers that made the day<br />

possible and our <strong>FRC</strong> Hospitality committee for keeping<br />

everyone fed and hydrated.<br />

We look forward to many more wonderful learning<br />

opportunities in the future!
