  • The Next Generation LICENSED EVENTING OFFICIALS
    MINI FEATURE | use your best judgement... The Next Generation of Licensed Eventing Officials Who will keep our sport kicking on? BY LESLIE THRELKELD As the sport of eventing grows, so must the people with it. The future generation of competitors, organizers, owners, and officials must be proactive and get involved as soon and as much as possible to preserve and support the sport. The judges, course designers, and officials today have seen the sport change dramatically in recent years, from the establishment of the short format at the upper levels and the subsequent changes in course design to the increasing importance of dressage scores and the advanced emphasis on safety. Eventually, the current officials will retire, and the next generation will take over. The USEA Training Program for Licensed Officials was run as a pilot program in 1999 and fully launched in 2000. The Training Program may be something you would like to explore to become an official or learn to improve as a competitor. LISA BARRY PHOTO How Do I Get Licensed?

  • Adapted Equestrian Vaulting at the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association
    Adapted Equestrian Vaulting at the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association Equestrian vaulting is a gymnastic-type performance on a moving horse set to music, blending the traditions of dance and gymnastics with equestrian sport. Developed in postwar Germany as a means of introducing children to equestrian sport, vaulting has a well-established history in Europe and a strong following in the United States. Canada is beginning to grow the sport under VaultCanada – a discipline committee of Equine Canada (the national governing association for horse sport). Provincially, equestrian vaulting is managed by the Equestrian Vaulting Association of BC (EVA of BC). While not yet recognized as an Olympic sport, vaulting has been demonstrated at the 1984 and 1996 games and has been a component of the World Equestrian Games since 1990. The first full vaulting squad to represent Canada competed at the WEG in 2014. Unlike most riding in which the rider exerts primary influence on the horse’s “way of going” (speed, direction of travel, cadence, etc.), vaulting requires the horse to travel in a consistent circle (approximately 15-20 meters in diameter) controlled by a “lunger” (a trained equestrian positioned at the centre of the circle). A bridle or special lunging “cavesson” (headstall) and “lunge line” (long rope from headstall to handler) is used to communicate with the horse, replacing the action of reins. A specialized back pad and “surcingle” (a belly strap with hand grips and stirrup-like loops for the vaulter’s feet) is used instead of a saddle. Unlike traditional, independent equestrian disciplines, vaulters work in teams, assisting each other with maneuvers and creating a seamless multi-player aesthetic.
