ERAHC’s Banner Year e r n R e Welcome to the first issue of Hoof Prints in ERAHC’s 20th t g i Anniversary year. And I’m sure this is reaching some of you s o a n who were there at the beginning. Wish I could say I had been, E but my own connection started about 15 years ago. There are just so many ERAHC people who show up at the shows each year and seem like fixtures! I’m always surprised to learn they first came just 10 years ago, or five years ago. In some ways, though, it’s the newest additions who seem most exciting, be- cause they represent the future of ERAHC. 2012 Okay, I’m getting a little mushy. Well, it’s going to be a 1992 mushy year, because I hope to hear from many of you with pictures and reminiscences of your experiences with ERAHC. A RSARY NIVE It doesn’t matter if they come from last decade or last year. 20th AN b Let’s just share our good memories.

iversary Spring—Page 2 20th Ann Hoof Prints Region What???

ERAHC has four shows, all in IALHA Region 6. But the dressage shows are in USDF Regions 1 and 8. And the ERAHC shows in Massachusetts have been called “Region 6,” while the ERAHC shows in Virginia have been called the “Classic,” even though they are in Region 6 too. Confused? Understandable. So what’s with all the regions? The beginning of the confusion stems from the fact that IALHA, USEF, and USDF define their regions differently. IALHA regions pretty much mimic those of the USEF, except that IALHA’s regions also include Canada. (Oh, yeah, and USEF has different regions for different breeds.) The USDF does its own thing, independent of the USEF. In addition, ERAHC members come from pretty far afield and may not live in any of the regions—IALHA, USEF, or USDF—in which ERAHC holds shows. (A number of old-timers, in fact, live in IALHA Regions 3 and 7. Some members live even further west!) The maps here reflect the IALHA and USDF regions in which most ERAHC members live. The next part of the confusion comes from the fact that Virginia has only been part of IAL- HA’s Region 6 for about a year—previously it was in Region 7. The shows in Virginia have been called the “Classic” for several years, so when ERAHC started holding the shows in Mas- sachusetts several years ago, we distinguished them from the Classic shows by calling them the ERAHC Region 6 shows.

Last but not least in this perplexing mix is the establishment in 2011 of ERAHC’s Classic Andalusian/Lusitano Breed Show as a Re- gional Championship for USEF’s Andalusian/Lusitano Region 6. Ac- companying this is USEF’s official move of Virginia into their Region 6, a change that had lagged behind the IALHA change a . (IALHA and USEF-AL regions are usually identical.) As a result, until this year ERAHC had both the ERAHC Region 6 shows in Massachusetts and the ERAHC Classic Region 6 Champion- ship show in Virginia. Now officially registered with the USEF for 2012, the new show names are: • ERAHC New England Classic Open Dressage Show • ERAHC New England Classic Andalusian/Lusitano Show • ERAHC Virginia Classic Open Dressage Show • ERAHC Virginia Classic Andalusian/Lusitano Show In any case, whatever the name of the show, wherever it lies in what- ever region, we hope to see you there. The dates for the New Eng- land Classic shows are July 20th through 22nd, and the Virginia Clas- sic shows will be held August 30th through September 2nd. 2012 is ERAHC’s 20th Anniversary, so we are going to have some kind of party!

Mark your calendars now! New England Classic - July 20 through July 22, 2012 Virginia Classic - August 30 through September 2, 2012

Holyoke and Lexington shows. Immediately after the shows were com- pleted, we did a 360-degree assessment of the effectiveness of the WE experience—from the judges’ view, the competi- tors’ view, and the view of show management. This assessment was enhanced by input from João Ralão Duarte, President of the World Association for Working Equitation (WAWE), who served as our judge for the Portuguese classes at Lexington. We also incorporated input from an ongoing Working Equita- tion committee led by members of IALHA. The result of this analysis is a complete revision of ERAHC’s Working Equitation rules for 2012. There are many changes incorporated in this revision.

Isabelle is an accomplished journalist and author of numerous articles, books, and DVDs about riding. One of the books for which she was a key contributor—the German FN Official Instruction Handbook “The Principles of Riding”—is very popular in Europe, as is her book “The Young Rider’s Book of Horses and Horsemanship.” She is a national judge, an “A” rated instructor, and certified by the German Equestrian Federation to train instructors, trainers, and judges at the German Riding Academy. She is a gifted clinician with a focus on achieving harmony of horse and rider, using the rider’s seat as an aid to achieve fluidity of horse and rider movement. Her instruction methods capture the best of horse and rider using classical dres- sage riding methods. Besides horses, Isabelle has a special interest in theater performances and writes critiques of ballet performances and modern choreography. This clinic offers the rider a unique opportunity to enhance their riding skills by understanding the importance of a correct seat in riding with the rhythm of the horse in achieving fluidity of movement with their horse. Isabelle will quickly identify what the rider needs to work on in achieving balance and harmony with their horse. The first day of the clinic involves mounted lunge work on one of Cedar Rowe’s experienced lunge horses or on your own horse for an assessment of your present form. The following days will be a mix of further lunge work and/or horse/rider instruction.
