Last time, Tanya told us about her experiences with walk, trot or canter and starting her own Dutch showing career. (As of listened closely to March, Tanya had received 2 more win points; now Eddie’s instructions! she only needs two more points to move up to L1 level.) But Tanya’s time in Holland includes more Tanya and I also spent than just her own horseshows. 2 days in Aachen last summer.

The horses were, of course, differs slightly from most dressage rider’s definition. absolutely incredible. We did not envy the judges Gallop in Holland involves running nearly full out, in who had to decide between the likes of Anky and a group of eight riders with your hair streaming out Ulla, Debbie and Beatriz. How can the judges behind and clumps of mud flinging wildly out from choose between elegance or power, grace or beneath your horse’s feet. We had the best time! strength?

The judges awarded the rider honorable mention Anky Van during the awards ceremony and he received an Gruensen and umbrella as his prize! Salinero at Aachen Tanya and I each chose our favorites and cheered for them enthusiastically. But, we both agreed, our favorite moments of the rides began after the final salute. The horses looked so happy and pleased with themselves as they exited the arena. Who can deny the beauty of a horse walking out of the arena with long strides, on a long rein, with eyes bright and ears relaxed, content with a job well done? The happiness of the horses at the end of the ride provided as much inspiration to us as the precision and obedience of the training during the ride. Ulla Salzgeber and Rusty at Living in Holland provides such an amazing range Aachen of opportunities. From starting her own Dutch competition career to watching top European riders at reasonably close shows, Tanya’s time in Holland gives her such a broad base of experiences. I, for one, will certainly not forget cantering headlong across a field, jumping over fallen logs in the forest and later that same week, admiring the power of Ulla Salzgeber’s Rusty at Aachen.

13 z Free Rein z November/December 2005 USEF RULE DR 123.8 DUES INCREASE
“If a mathematical error on the score sheet is discovered, it must be brought to the attention of competition management within one hour of the official posting of the scores from the last class of that competition day. Competition management must announce said posting, and must make test sheets available to competitors immediately.” CDS dues have increased to $65 for 2006. Taken from the 2005 USEF Rule Book, Page DR 22. This is the first dues increase in two years and regrettably caused by increase in all expenses.
