Page 4 April Wisconsin Horse Council NEWDA-Eastern Chapter Pat Black, President New Dressage Association (NEWDA), a Wisconsin USDF GMO, is pleased to introduce Eastern Chapter’s 2017 officers who are very ardent about dressage. President is Pat Black (Kewaskum), Vice President is Jude Bauer, Secretary is Shari Crowell and Treasurer/Chapter Representative is Liz Rohde. We look for- ward to another fun and educational year. Annually, we hold a schooling show at the Washington County Fair Park located in West Bend. This year it will be held on July 1st. We hope to see many dressage enthusiasts within and outside Wisconsin participate. Pat Black I have been involved with NEWDA since its inception and enjoy networking and learning from many of our talented members. I like to show, but also love riding with various clinicians. For me, it’s more than the sport, it’s the journey. Ten years ago, I broke my leg during a trail ride and couldn’t ride for 8 weeks. To keep my horse, ‘Sport’, in shape, I asked Jenny Schmitt (Random Lake) to train him.
