Window Hi Everyone! Welcome to the first newslet- By Claire Lacey ter of 2017! Wishing everyone a president@ happy, healthy, prosperous, and pvda.org successful year. Following our Annual General Meeting I have been elected President for a second term. I should like to thank members of our 2015/16 Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, Committee Members and everyone who volunteered in any way that helped us have such a good year. Nothing is possible without the efforts of many people in this organization and I am very thank- ful to share what we do with such great people. Please, join this effort, this year and help us and dressage in Maryland thrive. There is something for everyone when it comes to finding what you can do, that works for you. Contact a committee chair in an area that interests you and see what is available or sign up online. With this bumper color issue we wrap up 2016 with the Charlotte Jorst clinic and the Annual Awards Dinner and we look forward to what opportunities the New Year will bring us and our equine partners. The Jorst clinic was a fabulous event and heavily subsidized by PVDA to bring a fresh perspective and educational opportunity to members. It was such a shame not to see more people taking advantage of that amazing opportu- nity. I realize as much as anyone how time and resources can be limited and need to balance but time marches on. When you look back at 2016 what were the things you did that helped your knowledge, under- standing or skills? As I have said before Riding (and dressage) is a non-linear learning process. This means that every time you put yourself in the presence of it you have opportunity for a breakthrough! Take every chance you can to help you grow in 2017. Explore the opportunities. Life is short…. You write your history!

  • Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List
    Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List Equestrian students are required to own and maintain the following equipment for their personal use in riding classes. Our faculty recognizes this list, though extensive, is not a complete list of equipment needed by professionals in our industry and is intended to accommodate the basic needs of students at the beginning of their careers. Substitution of some items is possible; however, the specific equipment listed below is recommended. During our first week of the academic year the incoming class tours local vendors for the purpose of acquiring supplies and equipment. Many students choose to leave the bulk of their personal gear at home and acquire a set of school equipment during the shopping days. Local vendors typically give discounts to RMC students on the items they purchase during the tours. If students have any questions, we recommend waiting until the faculty can assist in the purchasing process. We have strong opinions about what works best in our program and can best guide our students toward appropriate choices after the school year is underway. All personal gear should be clearly and indisputably labeled. Brass tags or plates riveted to leather tack are recommended. More economical “dog tags” can be purchased at a local PetSmart and work well to identify the owner. Additionally, black permanent markers can provide effective labeling of various items. Students may choose to color coordinate their gear using patterned duct tape or spray paint to create a distinctive “brand” on their equipment. Rider apparel Students need to manage their personal attire with a balance of professionalism in concert with practicality for weather conditions and budget.

  • Get the Most out of Your EQUIPMENT Expert Advice on Maximizing the Longevity of Your Gear
    Get the MOST OUT of Your EQUIPMENT Expert advice on maximizing the longevity of your gear By Sophia Chavonelle 64 Dressage Today April 2018 ost experienced horse owners recognize the value of appropriately maintaining tack and equipment for practical, financial, safety and sentimental reasons. You have probably developed your own meth- ods and routines, but is there something you could be doing better to extend the wear of your items? Or perhaps there’s an important Mdetail you’re overlooking. What are the best ways to bring your favorite pieces back to life, while maximizing longevity? In this article, equine industry professionals Yvonne Bryant of Equine TLC, an equine laundering and repairs service in Dicker- son, Maryland, and Jennifer Hetzler of Equus Now! tack store in Lewis Center, Ohio, bring to light the best ways to maintain your equestrian equipment and apparel to prolong their life. DT: How long should you expect most everyday equipment to last? Yvonne Bryant: I personally believe that the lifespan of any equipment or apparel begins with the quality of the item. I also believe you will get what you pay for, however, items you have purchased on-sale are exempt from this thought. Overall, any item used on a daily basis can last anywhere from three to seven years with the right care and maintenance. Jennifer Hetzler: • A saddle can be the second most expensive purchase one can make in their riding career, next to the purchase of an actual horse. First, you’ll want to make sure the saddle fits the rider as well as the horse.

    THE DRESSAGE RIDER’S HOW-TO GUIDE Braids? Polo wraps? We’ve got you covered. BY SHARON BIGGS IMPECCABLE: Beautiful braids, correctly ftting tack and attire, and excellent grooming complement the bloom of health and present your horse to his best advantage. Stefen Peters presents Ravel at the 2012 Olympic Games veterinary inspection. JENNIFER BRYANT 30 October 2012 t USDF CONNECTION very equestrian sport has a particular way of turning out horse and rider for competition, and dressage is no diferent. To call yourself a true DQ (that’s “dressage queen” for the uninitiated), Eyou need to master the big three: braiding, tail prep, and polo-wrap application (the latter of which will also come in handy should your horse’s legs need to be bandaged). You also need to know how to select and adjust a saddle pad for a fattering look and maximum horse comfort. In this article, a grooming expert and a tack-shop owner HUNTER BRAIDS: ofer step-by-step instructions. Bonus: A dressage judge Can be tied so they lie fat against the neck or with little knobs at the top, as shown here and longtime competitor and horse owner shares her pet peeves and advice on show turnout. How to: Braid for Dressage First, the rules. Although the US Equestrian Federation Rule Book states that braiding the horse’s mane for dres- sage is optional, the unwritten rule is always to braid, except perhaps for unrecognized competitions (schooling shows). Most dressage riders consider braiding a traditional form of showing respect for the judge and the competition, as well as a way of enhancing the look of their horses’ necks.

  • Riding Apparel and Equipment Lists 2020-2021
    RIDING APPAREL AND EQUIPMENT LISTS 2020-2021 FOR ALL EQUINE STUDIES MAJORS, MINORS, AND ELECTIVE RIDERS All items listed are required unless noted as optional. Note to all New Freshmen or Transfer Students: The Equine Studies Department recognizes that the list of items questions, we recommend that you wait to purchase any items in question. The University will offer a trip to a local tack shop during the first week or two of the Fall Semester. Many of the local tack shops offer a discount to Centenary students, be sure to bring your student ID or acceptance letter. The Equine Faculty feels strongly that you wait for their guidance if you are unsure about what to buy of any item. Some suggestions of what not to buy if you are unsure: helmets, show breeches, tall boots, show shirts and jackets, and saddles! In addition, some team coaches have specific requirements on their show clothes and they would be more than happy to help you during the first few weeks of school. Explanation of Helmet Policy: Proper protective headgear is an essential piece of equipment in all equestrian activities. Since all equine-related activities have some element of risk, the Equine Studies Department requires that all equine students wear ASTM/SEI (American Society for Testing and Materials/Safety Equipment Institute) approved helmets, with harness secured, when mounted at the Equestrian Center. Instructors have the right to check that students are wearing ASTM/SEI approved helmets with harness secured; however, it is the student’s responsibility (parent or guardian in the case of someone under eighteen) to ensure compliance with this rule.
