ULTIMA FIT TIP #11 Fat to Muscle: It is a myth that working out with weights will cause your fat to turn to muscle. Muscle and fat are two totally different kinds of tissue. When you do strength training, you will build up muscle, but remember to watch what you eat, otherwise the body fat will remain and only cover up the new muscle.

Page 8 WEEK 11 March 22-26, 2017 Page 9 WEEK 11 March 22-26, 2017 Opera Fusion Singers to Perform at Adequan® Global Dressage Festival Life After the Olympics: Ben Maher

How were the Rio Olympic Games different than other Olympic Games you’ve attended? Maher: I think Rio, for me, was going to be hard to live up to coming off of the London Olympics. Personally, just because London was a home Olympics and getting the result [winning Team Gold] we had there. Rio was very different. The facility, the arena, and the sport were as good as any, but Brazil as a country was not easy to maneuver around, especially, after being in London and Hong Kong, where it was efficient and easy to maneuver around. Brazil tried very hard, and for horses it was a great facility.

Was there anything different from what you expected there? Maher: For me personally, there was a lot of talk, but there is generally a lot of talk before those kinds of competitions. Normally people focus on the negative things, and normally things work out in the end. As far as the venue and the horses and riders, it was extremely well put together. It was a very safe and clean environment for everybody. I think it was great sport. This time in Opera Fusion Executive Director Birgit Fioravante surrounded by cast Rio, I had a lot more time to visit and attend many of the other competitions, boxing and things members of the Matthew Shepard-Romaine Patterson musical drama, I’ve never seen before.

Page 16 WEEK 11 March 22-26, 2017 Page 17 WEEK 11 March 22-26, 2017 Faces of WEF: Lauren Dreyer

HERE’S A CLOSER LOOK AT LAUREN DREYER: Grooms are the unsung heroes of the horse show industry. They feed our equine athletes well before dawn, tend to their every need, and tuck them in at night. Lauren Dreyer was born and raised just outside of Philadelphia, PA, and rode in her first leadline class at the age of six. She grew up riding off-the-track thoroughbreds, and at the age of 18 took a job grooming for Andrew Philbrick. Dreyer has spent three winter seasons in Wellington and has worked for the likes of Two Swans Farm, who sponsor Todd Minikus, and Paige Johnson. She recently found her perfect job working for Mavis Spencer and enjoys sharing her journey caring for Spencer’s horses on Instagram.

WW: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT GROOMING? Dreyer: I love the horses. It’s not even so much about going to the ring and winning a class, I mean that’s great, but I love coming in the barn and the boys nicker ‘hello’ at me and seeing the little progressions over time. For instance, a horse not being scared of something anymore or growing up and becoming more automatic at some- thing. It’s the little things that make me happy. WW: WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT COMING TO WEF? Dreyer: I like that the horses can spend 12 weeks at a horse show, but at the same time can go home and be horses. The horses get a chance to relax and get turned out all day on Monday. That’s not always the case at horse shows. WW: YOU ARE AN ENTHUSIASTIC INSTAGRAM USER, WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE SOCIAL MEDIUM? Dreyer: I like sharing how cute my horses are to the world and using it to help others. I get a lot of people asking me to teach them things, and I’m really willing to help them. Someone asked me if I could teach them how to plait, so I’m going to set aside some time and meet with her to teach her. I like teaching people when they are willing to learn. WW: DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR GROOMS WHO HAVEN’T QUITE FOUND THE PERFECT FIT? Dreyer: I would tell them not to settle. There are so many people who don’t appreciate grooms. I am a huge advocate for standing up for yourself. There are a lot of grooms, myself especially, that if you need someone to reach out to and help you find a good fit, have no problem helping people like that. I’m a big advocate for Lauren Dreyer with Cornetiero. helping other grooms! ©Jennifer Wood Media, Inc. WW: WHEN YOU’RE NOT GROOMING WHAT CAN WE FIND YOU DOING? Dreyer: I love cooking! Recently, I made mini key lime pies. I never made them before, and I gave them to the stewards and other people that work at the show. They were telling me that they had to wipe whipped cream off their faces after eating them. I like doing things like that, something that will make someone else feel good.
