Wellington, FL – December 21, 2009 – The USET Foundation Holiday Fundraiser, presented by SUCCEED and Wellington Classic Dressage, was a great success as spectators had the opportunity to experience the one-of-a-kind equestrian event featuring performances, exhibitions and team competitions with Olympians and many top equestrian stars. A benefit for the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation, the fundraiser was held at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in Wellington, FL, on December 11 and 12, 2009.
Through generous donations, silent and live auctions, and ticket purchases the event raised a generous amount of money to help support the USET Foundation’s high performance programs. The USET Foundation is preparing to send teams to the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Kentucky next fall, and will help provide funding for the competition, training, coaching and travel of America’s elite horses and riders in partnership with the United States Equestrian Federation. The money raised from the holiday fundraiser will help support this country’s high performance programs.
“We are so grateful to Lyndsey White, John Flanagan and Noreen O’Sullivan for organizing this fabulous holiday event to benefit our U.S. equestrian teams,” said Bonnie B. Jenkins, Executive Director of the USET Foundation. “It was lots of fun for everyone involved and a great way to get in the holiday spirit!” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=9394
Using correct form is extremely important to communication with your horse.
December 8, 2009 – The importance of correct form and how it relates to communication with your horse cannot be emphasized enough. If your horse is not performing up to expectations, the first question you ask should be, “How is my position?” Correct something in your position and see if that improves your horse’s performance. If it doesn’t, then slightly change something in your communication and see if that works.
The Seat
Your seat is the foundation of your position and your main source of balance. It is also used as a communication aid to increase or decrease speed within a gait or during a change in gaits. These changes are called transitions.
How does your seat work to control speed? When you are in correct position and your seat is the main source of your balance, your pelvis should be slightly tilted forward. As the horse moves, your pelvis moves backward and forward, following the horse’s motion. This is very obvious at the walk and canter. At the trot, it may feel more like an up and down motion, but the pelvis still moves backward and forward but in a quicker motion with the two-beat gait.
