Badminton Horse Trials but We Have Lovely Photos to Remind You of the Thrills of the Competition Keeping In Touch No. 9 14 May 2020 Welcome to “Keeping in Touch No. 9! The sun is still mostly shining on us when we go for our walks or into our gardens but it is a bit chillier – brrrr! But life goes on and we have people you know Shouting Out to you this week. One of the many things we have missed this year is Badminton Horse Trials but we have lovely photos to remind you of the thrills of the competition. Did you know that Eventing as a sport was started in Gloucestershire? That was at Badminton in 1949. Pete suggested we look at yoga as a way of keeping us supple for when we get to ride again, and there is training for those Proficiency Tests which you can do online. That will help you pass them when it’s your turn! So with a Word Search and a Quiz on Badminton, and an appeal for you to nominate CRDA for a charity grant there are things you can do to pass the time, all in this newsletter. And for those who are thinking of entering the Regional Art and Writing Competition now is the time to get those entries sent off. The entry form is at the bottom of this newsletter. Would be great if there was a CRDA member among the prizewinners, how we’d cheer! s (Fergus appears by kind permission of Jean Abernethy – you can follow him here www.FergusTheHorse.com) v2 14 May 2020 Did you know… Badminton Horse Trials The first week in May means just one thing to so many horsey people – Badminton Horse Trials. Of course this year it has all been cancelled. Just to keep it in mind for us, here is a short explanation of eventing and Badminton Horse Trials - the pinnacle of international eventing. We have a little quiz for you as well to make you delve into your memory banks about Badminton’s past. It is also worth a look at the Badminton website where they have all sort of videos of key moments over the years: Badminton Horse Trials The Competition Badminton Horse Trials is one of the toughest and most exciting equestrian events – the pinnacle of the worldwide horse trials calendar. Horses and riders complete the competition over four days, each day consisting of a different discipline. Horses and riders must first complete a dressage test on day 1 or 2 (the dressage is spread over two days in order to be able to accommodate all the entries), demonstrating Obedience, Discipline, Accuracy and Elegance. On day 3 they need to prove their fitness, athleticism and stamina by tackling a 4-mile cross-country course, jumping solid man-made and natural obstacles within a set time. v2 14 May 2020 Finally, on day 4, the competitors must complete a course of show jumps designed to test their agility and accuracy, again within a given time, to demonstrate soundness and the ability to recover. Competition Level International horse trials are given a star grading according to their level of difficulty. The higher the grade, or number of stars, the more complex and physically demanding the competition becomes. Badminton is a 5 star event, the highest grade and one of only six such events in the world. Badminton is the oldest (1949) and is generally regarded as the most prestigious event. Both horses and riders must qualify in order to compete at Badminton. Qualification can take a number of years to achieve. (All photos from Badminton Horse Trials website, subject to copyright) Quiz 1. There are seven 5* FEI events (all were scheduled to run in 2020)- name them and the countries they are in? 2.

Who is the youngest rider ever to win Badminton? How old was the rider? Year of winning? Name and breed of the horse? 5. What do riders receive when they have completed Badminton five times? 6. Two members of the same family have been Individual European Eventing Champions – name them, their horses, the years in which they won and the venues. 7. Three combinations have won back-to-back Badmintons – name them and the years in which they won. 8. One male rider has won Luhmuhlen twice in the last six years – who is he, which years did he win and on what horses and which country does he come from? His wife has also won once in the last six years – name her, the horse she rode and the year in which she won. 9. In which month is the Australian International held? (Answers are at the end of this newsletter. Thanks to Jane Ogle of the Area 9 Pony Club) v2 14 May 2020 SHOUT OUT! from your friends at CRDA Hi all Monday’s gang! How are you all and how is everyone else at RDA? I miss you all and wonder how you are all passing the time during these difficult weeks/months. We have a big veg garden so this year I have gone to town! I am very lucky to have a great greenhouse so I have grown almost everything from seed. Some good, some not so! We have always had a veg garden; I find it very good for the soul. Christopher and I appreciate how lucky we are to live here with a big garden and walks on our doorstep. I am still hoping we can have a big tea party in the garden in the summer; then we can all catch up. Till then, keep safe and well. Lots of love Sara X Hi to all the Tuesday volunteers and Monday and Tuesday after school volunteers. Hope you are all well but I expect like me, you are longing to get back to volunteering. I have been trying to keep fit by doing exercises everyday, hula-hooping and gardening. My garden has never looked so good! I would love to hear from any of you and to hear what you have been doing. If you have any ideas for lessons for when we get back, I would love to hear them Take care, miss you all Gill x Debbie, who knows all the riders and volunteers, wrote in: “We miss all you riders and volunteers and cannot wait to see you all again. We love hearing your stories and what you are doing in lockdown, so please keep in touch. Take care and stay safe and we’ll see you when we reopen. XXX” v2 14 May 2020 Dan has sent us this Wordsearch – thanks Dan! v2 14 May 2020 Things to do in L CKD WN We were pleased to receive this email from Peter: As I was on my exercise walk today I was thinking about missing the horses and riding in particular. After several months of not riding I think getting back in the saddle could present two problems, confidence being the first, but then I thought of just the physicality of it. It struck me that there might be some tips and suggestions you could include for simple stretches and exercises that some of us and our riders could perhaps try, to help with poise, balance and flexibility? Peter We’re glad you asked! Here are a few online resources we have come across which might be of interest. We know of some dressage riders who use “Yoga with Adriene”: – her YouTube channel is here: Yoga with Adriene “Dressage Rider Training” has a lot of exercises for flexibility, mobility, core strength and more – the YouTube channel is here: Dressage Rider Training “Form and Function Equine” on Facebook tailors yoga and Pilates to the needs of the rider. The Facebook page is here: Form and Function Equine (Now for the small print: CRDA does not endorse or recommend any of these programmes. The links are provided for general information only and you use the programmes at your own risk. It is good practice to consult a sports or medical professional before starting any programme of exercise.) And finally – some people involve their horse in their yoga practice. Do not try this at home – or at CRDA!! v2 14 May 2020 Please nominate Cotswold! Here’s a fantastic chance to win £1000 for CRDA – but we need your nomination! Just go to Movement for Good, scroll down and click “Nominate a charity now”. Enter our charity number 1160676 and the rest of the required details and click “Submit”. Your nomination could be the one that helps us win! Fifteen very special ponies are at the heart of what we do and £1000 would pay for the average costs of a pony for 6 months. Your nomination really counts. £1000 could make a real difference to the work with disabled adults and children. The more nominations we get, the greater our chance of winning, so please spread the word. Thank you! We’re very grateful to Ecclesiastical for this opportunity. ONLINE TRAINING A very helpful RDA Coach, Lizzie Bennett from Cambridgeshire College RDA, has devised a quiz to help riders prepare for each of the RDA proficiency tests 1 - 3. You can find these by following the links below: Grade 1: RDA Quiz Grade 1 Grade 2: RDA Quiz Grade 2 Grade 3: RDA Quiz Grade 3 Lizzie gives you great photos of RDA riders in action with a circle around the part of the horse she wants you to identify and multiple choice answers to choose from, for example: Which part of the horse is indicated here? • frog • muzzle • wall of hoof • elbow • sole • fetlock • dock • crest • flank v2 14 May 2020 LAST CHANCE! RDA Mid-West Regional Art and Writing Competition The closing date for entries to the RDA Mid-West competition is this Friday 15 May so if there is anyone else who would like to submit a 500 word story, a poem or a drawing, you’d better be quick! It is a competition for everyone, rider or volunteer, child or adult.

  • February 2020 Update from U.S. Eventing Performance Director Erik Duvander
    February 2020 Update from U.S. Eventing Performance Director Erik Duvander The Olympic year of 2020 has now arrived and our team is firstly working towards our remaining selection trials – Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI5*-L, Badminton Horse Trials CCI5*-L and Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event CCI4*-L – and our preparation is well on its way. I arrived in the U.S. in the first week of January to travel around to our athletes to work with them and go through their submitted Individual Performance Plan (IPP). I am very pleased to see how well all the horses have come out of the previous season, and after a break they are all looking stronger and more mature. The athletes are very focused and working on the areas of improvement as outlined in their IPP. We have 13 athletes and 15 horses on our Elite and Pre-Elite training list, but I have also worked with a few athletes outside this list who are also Olympic possibilities. It is a very open book as to who will go to Tokyo, so it is up to the athletes to make sure they use every available day to make their improvements and put on the best performance at the selection trials. In mid-January, Tamie Smith, Frankie Thieriot Stutes and I went to Coachella Valley, California to put on an exhibition for our team sponsor, Land Rover, at their 4xFAR Festival. Land Rover turned the launch of their new vehicles into a two-day experiential event with live music and 35 daily hosted events and workshops.

  • Literature Review
    An Analysis of Conformation and Performance Variables in Potential Three Day Event Horses in Ireland Name Soraya Morscher Supervisor Professor Sean Arkins Submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the Masters of Science (Equine Science) at the University of Limerick, October 2010 Abstract Eventing is the ultimate test of speed, endurance, obedience and athleticism and the importance of such qualities in horses date back to cavalry times where such attributes were deciding factors in wars. The Irish Sport Horse is the leading studbook for eventing for the last 15 years (WBFSH, 2009). In order to keep the Irish Sport Horse at the top of this sport, talented animals have to be identified early. To identify elite horses early, studbooks all over the world employ conformation assessment as an indicator for pre-selection and suitability. Since the new format of eventing was introduced, opinions on what type of horse is suitable for the sport are divided. Currently in Ireland, selection of young event horses is not carried out by any of the studbooks. The Future Event Horse League (FEHL) offers owners of potential event horses a competition to test their abilities. The league is run in a different format to eventing, and as part of the competitions, judges score the potential of the horse for this particular sport. One objective of this study was to analyse selection methods for young event horses in Ireland. Data from competitions of FEHL were analysed in order to evaluate conformation and suitability of the horses that took part and the consistency of the judges scoring.

  • Lgct Grand Prix of Hamburg Ludger Beerbaum Wows the Crowd in Home Win
    FAMILY Chairman Khaled Assem Senior Writer Bridget McArdle McKinney Assistant Editor Aya Amr Design and layout Salonaz Sakr LGCT OF MADRID EHNING’S SPANISH SENSATION AS AHLMANN EXTENDS CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD Via: LGCT It was standing room only at the stunning Spanish round of the Longines Global Champions Tour as Marcus Ehning (GER) took a sensational win with the 13 year old chestnut gelding Pret a Tout. In front of packed passionate crowds, an eight rider jump off had spectators on the edge of their seats right until the final fence as last combination to go, Marcus and Pret a Tout, galloped the course in a stunning display of skill and speed. KSA’s Abdullah Al Sharbatly was the Grand Prix Silver Medallist. To the delight of the home crowd, who packed the grandstands to watch the action unfold and cheered passionately throughout the competition, local rider Eduardo Alaverz Aznar (ESP) took home the bronze medal. Marcus Ehning, LGCT Grand Prix of Madrid Gold Medallist: “I’m very happy to win here today. For me it’s one of the nicest Globals that we have - it’s a fantastic atmosphere with unbelievable conditions here. Two years ago I came very close, but now I’m happy to win here in Madrid, it’s a traditional show. I’ve had my horse just since January - I knew he was a good horse, but I didn’t expect him to be that good or that quick. I was very close in Hamburg to win the Global. In the jump off I saw Sharbatly, and I saw that he really put us under pressure, but in the end my horse showed all the experience and all his quality and I’m really happy to win today.

  • April 26-29, 2018 $225,000 INVITATIONAL GRAND PRIX April 28, 2018
    April 26-29, 2018 $225,000 INVITATIONAL GRAND PRIX April 28, 2018 1 2 2018 Kentucky Three-Day Event Equestrian Events, Inc. (EEI) is a non-profit Kentucky corporation formed in 1975 initially to stage the 1978 World Three-Day Event Championships at the brand new Kentucky Horse Park. The 1978 World Three-Day Event Championships, held for the first time in the United States, were an unprecedented success. Individual World Champion Bruce Davidson of Pennsylvania retained the world title and the popular team of riders and horses from Canada were the winners of the Team Gold Medal. Shortly after the conclusion of the World Championships, the American Horse Shows Association asked EEI to host the first major three- day event, setting the wheels in motion for the 1979 Kentucky Horse Trials and similar events thereafter. Today, the Kentucky Three-Day Event is the only CCI4* Eventing competition in the Western Hemisphere and one of six 4* Eventing competitions in the world. Furthermore, the Kentucky Three-Day Event is one of three Eventing competitions included in the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing series. In order to win the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing, the athlete must consecutively win the Kentucky Three-Day Event, Badminton Horse Trials and Burghley Horse Trials. To date, only two equestrian athletes have accomplished this great feat. 2017 Kentucky Three-Day Event Champion, Michael Jung and Fischerroncana FST of Germany. Jung and Fischerroncana FST also won the 2015 and the 2016 Kentucky Three-Day Event making them the second pair in event history to consecutively win the Kentucky Three-Day Event three times in a row.

  • Facts to Confirm
    Evaluating the experience of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in the career histories of elite equestrian athletes By Donna de Haan A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University March 2015 © D. de Haan 2015 ABSTRACT Equestrian sport has been present on the Modern Olympic programme since 1900 with Para-Equestrian Dressage making its debut at the 1996 Paralympic Games. Due to the combined governance of Olympic and Paralympic versions of the sport, the mixed gender of competition and the potential age range of competitors, equestrian sport provides an opportunity through which to understand a unique context of athlete experience. This thesis has sought to identify and evaluate athlete experience within the context of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and to place this experience within the wider career histories of members of the British Equestrian Team. This study utilised a combination of a systematic literature review methodology and ethnographic data collection and analysis with a critical realist approach, creating a framework that values interpretive insights into how the subjects perceive and construct their world whilst at the same time considering ways in which the literature and individual subjects identify, comment on, and frame the reality of the world of equestrian sport. This study has resulted in the emergence of six themes pertaining to experiencing the games; equestrian sporting culture, identity, values, challenges, performance support and success. Results show many similarities and shared experiences for both the Olympic and Paralympic equestrian athletes. The differences regarding the lived experience for these athletes are predominantly associated with the development of the sport, the relative short Paralympic history of equestrian sport in comparison to the Olympic disciplines, and the place of the Games in the context of the riders’ career histories.
