Wednesday Video from Kentucky Performance Products: Meet the USA Dressage Team

By on Jul 21, 2021 4:00 pm -

Eventing is our jam, of course, but it’s fun to cheer on our other two Team USA equestrian squads as well. A new series from US Equestrian is helping us get to know the athletes better, starting with our dressage team:

  • Adrienne Lyle (Wellington, Florida) and Salvino, a 14-year-old Hanoverian stallion owned by Betsy Juliano LLC
  • Steffen Peters (San Diego, California) and Suppenkasper, a 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Four Winds Farm and Akiko Yamazaki
  • Sabine Schut-Kery (Napa, California) and Sanceo, a 15-year-old Hanoverian stallion owned by Alice Womble

Traveling reserve: 

  • Nick Wagman (San Diego, California) and Don John, a 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Beverly Gepfer

Best of luck to them all in Tokyo!

Exercise-induced muscle damage that results in sore, stiff muscles and poor performance is a common problem in athletic horses. Vitamin E plays an important role in preserving optimal muscle function by interrupting the production of harmful free radicals that can damage critical tissues. When vitamin E levels in muscle tissue are inadequate, the risk of exercise-induced muscle damage is increased.

Elevate® Maintenance Powder supplies the natural vitamin E your horse needs to neutralize damaging free radicals and support peak performance. Keep your horse at the top of his game with Elevate natural vitamin E. 
The horse that matters to you matters to us®.

Friday Video from SmartPak: World Champion & Champion Mum, Ros Canter

Ros Canter and Allstar B. Photo by Leslie Threlkeld.

In 2017 Great Britain’s Rosalind “Ros” Canter and Allstar B checked the first box of what would become a world domination tour, winning team gold and finishing fifth individually at the 2017 European Eventing Championships in Strzegom. The following year, at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon, Ros and Allstar crowned themselves world champion by winning the individual as well as the team gold. Earlier this week, the FEI shared this video:

And then there were her top finishes at Pau with Zenshara, and then … two years and one week ago, Ros and her partner Chris McAleese welcomed their little Ziggy into the world — and we’ve been ooh-ing and ah-ing at this sweet family in all their horsey and beyond adventures ever since.

As for Ros and Allstar, they’ve still got it!

Most recently, they placed their in the Bicton CCI4*-S earlier this month, alongside Ros’ win in the CCI4*-L with Lordship’s Graffalo — who might just be Ros’ next world beater! Watch out, world, this momma (and perhaps her little girl, too!) is coming for us all.

#RoadToTokyo: Four Days ‘Til Liftoff!

First things first, happy birthday Emma Ford!

Following a Team USA gymnastic jumping school yesterday with Peter Wylde ….

… it was back to the dressage ring today for another round of feedback from eventing judge Martin Plewa.

Looking good! A couple of our guys have made the local and national news:

And … few snaps from our North American friends:

Team USA will remain in pre-export quarantine before catching one last flight from Aachen to Tokyo on July 20. Looks like the U.S. Dressage Team has just touched down in Tokyo.

We’ll continue to round up social media posts and other perspectives from the road to Tokyo, so stay tuned right here on EN for all things Olympics.

#WeRideTogether PSA Campaign Aims to Counter Sexual Abuse in Horse Sport

By on Jul 16, 2021 11:00 am -

Sexual misconduct and abuse have long been an issue in equestrian sport, and is often ignored, minimized, or wrongly blamed on the victim. The equestrian community is no longer sitting idly by. Today, leading digital media platform Horse Network, in collaboration with Wrigley Media Group and the Kehring family, has launched #WeRideTogether, a powerful new series of educational and eye-opening digital PSAs and an in-depth microsite designed to empower, inform, and unite the equestrian community.

#WeRideTogether gives a voice to survivor stories, provides resources to report abuse and get help, and offers educational information for athletes, coaches, and families. The microsite will be updated on an ongoing basis to provide a safe place for survivors to share their experiences.

“#WeRideTogether was developed as a multifaceted campaign to promote transparent and safe dialogue within the industry, help shift the imbalance of power between coach and athlete, and raise awareness for the many forms grooming and abuse can take,” said Lauren Kay, #WeRideTogether spokesperson. “Sadly, sexual abuse of minors is common in all sports. We are proud that the equestrian community has taken a bold step forward to be the leader in true change that all coaches and competitors can understand and embrace.”

Central to the campaign is the four-part #WeRideTogether PSA series, produced by Wrigley Media Group and distributed through Horse Network’s diverse digital platform and social media channels. The series features expert commentary from youth protection advocate and expert, Les Nichols, powerful first-person interviews from sexual abuse survivors, and more.

“Our mission at Horse Network is to grow horse sport. When we protect young athletes, we protect the future of the sport—it’s as simple as that,” said Carley Sparks, Editor-in-Chief, Horse Network. “We’re incredibly proud to be part of the amazing team working to shed light on this important topic and grateful to the brave survivors who have entrusted us with their stories.”

“I have devoted the better part of my life to equestrian sport—it’s part of my DNA” says Misdee Wrigley Miller, CEO, Wrigley Media Group. “Wrigley Media Group is committed to do doing our part in giving victims a voice and helping to raise awareness to an issue that has been avoided far too long.  In order for this sport to continue to thrive, it is up to us, who are immersed in its community, to facilitate change. We intend to do just that.”

 #WeRideTogether is a true movement and cultural shift that demands increased accountability from trainers and coaches, gives survivors a safe platform for their voice, and helps diminish the stigma and fear of coming forward.

Watch the first PSA, “Empty Chair” here and visit WeRideTogether.Today to learn more.

#RoadToTokyo: A Little Dance, A Little Jump

By on Jul 15, 2021 11:00 am -

This morning, the U.S. team and support staff have been posting in memory of Annie Goodwin, who died yesterday after a cross country schooling accident. It’s a somber mood on the heels of this news, and we wanted to take a moment to share the sentiments of the team. Annie, you will never be forgotten and our hearts are very heavy.

Team USA rehearsed their Olympic tests yesterday to get feedback from eventing judge Martin Plewa, then took on their own interpretation of gymnastics today under the watchful eye of Peter Wylde.

A Message From Annie: ‘You Gotta Push On’

By on Jul 15, 2021 9:00 am -

Everyone who swings their leg over the back of a horse is aware of risk. We do the best we can to stay safe while understanding that there are variables beyond our control. But as much as we owe ourselves safety, it can be argued, we also owe ourselves happiness.

In 2016 Taggert Vin Zant made this video featuring Annie Goodwin as a promo to invite sponsors to join her team. Upon Annie’s passing yesterday resulting from a cross country schooling accident, her words feel chillingly poignant:

“There are instances where bad things happen. And it can happen to anyone. But that’s not really a way to live your life. You gotta push on … It’s a healthy fear that we have, and it drives us to be better every single day.”

Rest in peace, Annie.

Olympic Eventing History in Review: Stockholm 1912

By on Jul 14, 2021 1:00 pm -

Olympic eventing has shape-shifted quite dramatically over the years, with early editions being nearly unrecognizable side-by-side with the modern sport. As we approach this year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo, which is adopting yet another format, we’ll be taking a look back at its evolution over the past century.

We’ll start with the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games, the first year an eventing-type competition was first introduced. Imagine completing three days of jumping competition spanning 35+ miles BEFORE you did your dressage test … it would take the edge off, at least!

Stockholm’s Field Riding Club, which hosted the 1916 Olympic equestrian events. Photo: Public Domain/IOC.

Equestrian events were first held at the 1900 Paris Olympic Games and included four contests: polo, grand prix jumping, high jump and long jump. Equestrian was cut in 1904, and in 1908 only polo was held. But for 1912 the IOC approved the inclusion of the three equestrian disciplines that have been held at every summer games since: eventing, show jumping and dressage … or at least some vaguely related ancestor of their modern versions.

There were still only a handful of Olympic sports at that point, including a few like tug-of-war and lawn tennis that are now retired. Eventing was called “Military” and, as advertised, was open only to servicemen and army horses. Twenty-seven riders representing seven countries took part in the event: Denmark, Germany, Sweden, France, Belgium, Great Britain and the U.S., with all the countries except Denmark fielding a full team of four riders.

All the components of modern three-day eventing — dressage, cross-country and show jumping — were intact. The order was just a little… different.

Day 1: the Endurance Test, consisting of a 50 km (31 mile) long-distance road ride at a speed of 230 meters per minute  immediately followed by a 5 km  (3 mile) cross-country course at a speed of 333 meters per minute.

The course was marked by red flags but — not surprisingly, considering the map below — three riders were eliminated for going off course. Only one rider exceeded the time limit (4 hours for endurance and 15 minutes for cross-country) on account of his watch being slow.

The cross-country obstacles were described as not difficult, consisting chiefly of fences, with or without ditches, and streams. Points were subtracted for refusals and falls of horse and/or rider.

The ground was hard and the weather was less than ideal, according to the IOC report: “The heat was oppressive and most of the competitors lost weight during the ride, some as much as 4 1/2 lbs., or more, while the saddles grew considerably heavier, by absorption of sweat from the horses.”

To mimic the weight of military field accouterments, the horses were required to carry a minimum of 80 kg (176 lbs.) during the jumping phases. A double bridle was required in all phases except steeplechase.

Day 2: Rest Day!

Day 3: Speed Test, held over a 3.5 km (2 mile) steeplechase course with 10 plain obstacles at a speed of 600 meters per minute.

There were 22 starters/Endurance Day survivors, most of whom made it around alright. According to the IOC report: “Of these, two rode the wrong way and retired, one of them, Lieutenant Lawrence (Great Britain) falling at a grass-covered ditch outside the course, the accident causing a slight concussion of the brain, from which the rider soon recovered, however.”

Day 4: the Jumping Test (“Prize Jumping”), which included 15 obstacles set to a maximum height of 1.3 meters (4’2″) and width of 3 meters (9’8″) wide.

Only two of the 19 starters had jumping penalties and 12 had time faults.

Day 5: the Dressage Test (“Prize Riding”).

From the IOC report: “With respect to the order in which the various tests should be executed, it was thought best to place the prize riding last, as the clearest obedience-test could thereby be obtained. A well-trained horse that has been severely taxed should, even after taking part in the previous tests, be able to do itself justice in the final one too.”

Riders were required to enter the ring at a gallop, halt/salute, and then use the next 10 minutes to demonstrate figures at the walk, trot and gallop at both “collected” and “fast” speeds. Extra points were awarded for various exhibitions of showboatery, such as riding with both reins in one hand. I can’t tell from the IOC report if it was for eventing as well or just straight dressage, but early tests included jumping obstacles and an “obedience test,” which “consisted of the rolling towards the horse of a wooden cylinder, 80 cm. diameter and c:a 1,50 meters long, and painted with stripes in 3 colours.” Can’t imagine too many modern sport horses would be too keen on that!

In the end Sweden took Team Gold, led by Individual Gold Medalist Lieutenant Axel Nordlander. Germany followed in Silver position and the U.S. claimed Bronze.

Now you’ve just gotta stick the landing. You can do it, we believe in you!

Here’s a fresh batch of strugglebus. Enjoy!

Go Eventing.

Tuesday News & Notes from Legends Horse Feeds

By on Jul 6, 2021 1:01 am -

What an epic journey it has been to the Tokyo Olympics, and we aren’t even factoring in the long flight over. The whole thing still seems like a vaguely terrible idea, what with tens of thousands of visitors coming to a country that is only 13.8% fully vaccinated and is experiencing a sharp uptick in its caseload. A member of the Ugandan team tested positive for the highly contagious delta variant upon arrival, and we’re just getting started — the opening ceremony is still over two weeks away, on July 23.

Nonetheless, the show shall go on, and it sounds like there is good protocol in place to keep everybody safe. We’re certainly looking forward to cheering on Team USA, in eventing and beyond. The Olympics are such an incredible showcase of indomitable human spirit and the far reaches of physical ability. Did any of you catch Simone Biles in the gymnastic selection trials? Just wow.

Sally Spickard will be reporting live from Tokyo for EN, so you’ll want to keep it locked here throughout the month. Be sure to get on the mailing list for our Olympic Digest, sent Mondays starting this then daily starting July 28 — you can sign up here.

News & Notes From Around the World: 

See the British Olympic eventing team horses enjoying their final outing before Tokyo. All four horses ran in the open Intermediate class at Kesoe and jumped double clears, while they took it slow cross country. After this last run on British soil, they’ll quarantine before boarding the plane to Tokyo. [Horse & Hound]

Hope is fading in the fight for the Irish dressage team’s place at the Tokyo Olympics. A further appeal was dismissed against Horse Sport Ireland (HSI), whose decision to not to take up the place was met with great backlash. [Horse & Hound]

The world’s tallest horse has died in Wisconsin. The 20-year-old Belgian named “Big Jake” is recorded as measuring 210.2 cm — think about 20 and a half hands or 6′ 10 3/4″ at the withers — and weighed 2,600 pounds. After Sampson, who towered at over 21 hands, he is the second-tallest horse on record. [Associated Press]

For IEL Team Wilmerding Equestrian, it’s all about the journey — and celebrating success along the way. Learn more about this USEA Interscholastic Eventing League team based at Wilmerding Equestrian in Gladstone, NJ and Ocala, FL. [USEA]

Friday Video from SmartPak: Shepherd Ranch Battle of the Intro Paints

By on Jul 2, 2021 8:00 pm -

Olympics … meh. There’s nothing I savor more than a good ol’ fashioned Intro level showdown, and we got one recently at Shepherd Ranch Horse Trials in Santa Ynez, CA. The contenders:

Addie Churchill on Walle

AND Carole Lieberman on Gimli

On one hand, there are plenty of similarities: Spots, obviously. Also both horses’ modus operandi seems to be maximum chill-mode, which I can relate to. Why canter when you can trot, is what I always say. Meanwhile, both riders are on fire, getting the job done with a mix of sheer will and pony kicks.

Walle literally poops over fence #2 — I have definitely been on the brink of this on the front end of scary cross country courses, so that makes me love him even more. Poop aside, his ears are perpetually pricked, and thanks to Addie’s confidence-boosting encouragement he looks game as heck the rest of the course. Meanwhile, throughout the course Gimli seems to be scoping the sidelines for a beer garden and a shady tree — also very relatable, first round is on me, Gimli! — but Carol coaxes him through to glory at the finish flags.

It’s fun to follow Olympians on their path to Tokyo, but I’m always just as happy to watch budding eventers on the front end of their journeys into eventerhood. Keep up the great work, Addie and Carole. Your horses seem to really believe in you, and we believe in you both!

To those contemplating eventing: We might seem like an intimidating sport, but we’re really just one big family and we welcome you with open arms. The USEA is a great resource — check out their new member resources here — and you can always email us as well.

Great Meadow Mandatory Outing Show Jumping Recap: Bon Voyage, Team USA!

By on Jul 2, 2021 7:34 pm -

Seven of the 12 combinations contesting the Mandatory Outing for the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team posted a clear round at Great Meadow today. Among them: two out of three of our starting lineup for the Games, with the eventing competition set to begin in less than a month from today in Tokyo.

Boyd Martin jumped clear with Tsetserleg TSF, as did Phillip Dutton and Z. Liz Halliday-Sharp and Deniro Z had one rail, the vertical in the triple combination. Traveling reserve Doug Payne had a clear round with Vandiver; traveling alternates Tamie Smith with Mai Baum and Will Faudree with Mama’s Magic Way jumped clear as well.

A unique aspect of the Olympic Games format is that each combination jumps two show jumping rounds, with one counting toward the team score and the other toward individual ranking. This makes show jumping consistency doubly critical. Toward this end, the team has been working under the guidance of Olympic team gold medalist Peter Wylde, whom eventing chef d’equipe Erik Duvander says has “come in all guns blazing and has done a massive job this past year.”

“We are very, very grateful to have high caliber coaches helping us,” Boyd said after his ride. “I feel like Tsetserleg is in the best form of his life. Obviously, we tumbled at Kentucky this year but I think it’s made him better. He was brilliant out on the cross country, he was very eager to jump every jump and today he came out and jumped like a buck.”

“My groom, Steph works around the clock, and my wife Silva and the guys that work for me are incredible. I feel good — mentally stable, physically ready to roll. Here we come Tokyo.”

Phillip remarked, “It’s been a great couple of days at Great Meadow, thanks to everyone who put this on. It’s actually a bit humbling watching all the riders here. Any one of those riders, you’d be proud to be on a team with.”

“I don’t think any of us are taking for granted the enormity of what we’ve got coming up in Tokyo. One, the competition is going to be very stiff and then the new format which is three on a team. Like Boyd alluded to, everybody put in a lot of work and effort. Not just us as riders, but there’s so many people behind us. [We’re] starting to feel pretty prepared and confident about our chances of doing really well.”

Liz said, “This has been a great opportunity for the horses to get back out. They needed to go and do a real competition. Most of our horses hadn’t run since Kentucky which was nine weeks ago. I think the preparation was great.

“Deniro Z is feeling fantastic — he’s in great form and really fought for me yesterday. I made this outing just a goal to put in a confident place. It wasn’t about running around super fast or anything like that because I can trust that on the day. We are ready to work hard and do our best in Tokyo.”

Traveling reserve Doug said of Vandiver, “Quinn jumped exceptionally well and I’m really happy with him,” and noted the extra coaching guidance from Peter: “I do think the great thing that Peter brings to the table is that he has a broad base of experience with a variety of different horses. Each preparation he brings to the different horses is completely separate and individual. I think he’s got a great feel for it, and it’s been a huge help.”

Tamie with Mai Baum and Will Faudree with Mama’s Magic Way will travel with the team to Aachen, Germany.

Elsewhere on the scoreboard, four-faulters included Buck Davidson with Carlevo and Lauren Nicholson with Vermiculus. Boyd had two rails with On Cue, and Sydney Elliot had three down with QC Diamantaire. Canadian Colleen Loach, who took a tumble from Quorry Blue d’Argouges on cross country yesterday, jumped a clear round today.

In summary, coach Erik said, “It’s been a long process and a lot of effort and sacrifice but I’m super proud to be leading this group of riders.”

Bicton to Host Burghley Replacement CCI5* in September

By on Jul 2, 2021 2:55 pm -

Bicton Arena is having a big year already, having already stepped up to replace Bramham last month and offering the first British CCI4*-L of the 2021. Now it has been announced that the Devon, England, venue will host Britain’s only five-star horse trials this year, as both Badminton and Burghley were cancelled. The event will take place on would-have-been Burghley week, September 2-5.

From Bicton:

After an acclaimed first CCI4* in June, the Bicton team, led by Helen West and Andrew Fell, applied to the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) to run a replacement CCI5*L as a one-off to meet competitor and owner demand for a competition of this level after the unprecedented cancellations of both Badminton and Burghley due to the pandemic.

The Chedington Bicton Park 5* Horse Trials should prove a great boost to the sport after two difficult seasons and will be an opportunity to see the highest level of competition in this country for the first time in two years.

Bicton has again secured the generous sponsorship from Chedington,  plus a prize fund of €125,000.  The event will be live streamed by our supporting sponsor The Eventing Channel.  The hugely experienced international course-designer Captain Mark Phillips will be creating a new cross-country track,  built by Adrian Ditcham,  in Bicton’s beautiful Grade l-listed parkland.

Bicton Arena’s new Manager,  Andrew Fell,  who will be taking over from Helen West said,  “We are thrilled to have been given this opportunity by the FEI to ensure Britain has a five-star competition this year.  It should be a great morale boost after so much disappointment.  Bicton is the home of Lord & Lady Clinton who have been so supportive of the Sport and this will be an exciting time for Clinton Devon Estates.

“Bicton is already blessed with loyal supporters, great facilities and a stunning setting and we are now full steam ahead with our aim of producing a competition truly worthy of CCI5* status.”

Dr Geoffrey Guy of Chedington adds: “We have always felt that Bicton is a wonderful site that deserves to host a high level of international competition and are so pleased to be part of what will be a historic event.”

Helen West, Appointed Chief Executive for British Eventing and Advisor to Bicton Arena for the five-star event, comments, “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Bicton and the South West, following the success of the four-star event we put on earlier this year we know that we are ideally placed to make this a huge success.

“For me, this is a shining example of what can be achieved with a collaborative approach. This whole vision was fuelled by owners, riders and organisers alike who have worked tirelessly to get this off the ground. The recognition of this achievement comes at an important time for me as I step into my new British Eventing role. It is fantastic for the sport as a whole and I look forward to exciting times ahead.”

Limited numbers of spectator tickets will be available shortly.

Wednesday Reading List:

Colleen Loach has a GoFundMe set up to help with the expense of traveling to Tokyo. The eventer, who’ll represent Canada with Qorry Blue D’argouges, says that some of the costs are covered by Equestrian Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee, but many aren’t, including an 11-day quarantine in Aachen followed by more expenses in Tokyo. A $20 donation gets you an entry in a drawing for a lesson with Colleen. [GoFundMe]

The U.S. Eventing Mandatory Training Session is taking place at Great Meadow this week. Here’s what you need to know, from the schedule to who will be competing. There is no live stream and the event is closed to spectators, but EN will be reporting live so keep it locked here! [USEA]

When hosing hot horses post-exercise, should you scrape off water or reapply? A study has shown that to prevent exertional heat illness, handlers should re-apply cool water to hot horses every minute without scraping it off. [The Horse]

Horse show schedules are a jab at the working amateur, writes Jacquelyn Maggiore. “It’s impossible to remain competitive in the national standings as an amateur who works a full time job with limited vacation time.” [The Plaid Horse]

Tokyo will be mark the first time the Kiwi team will not have Sir Mark Todd at the Olympics since Athens in 2004. What they do have: five-star power couple Tim and Jonelle Price, plus Jesse Campbell. [Stuff]

#EventerProblems Vol. 268 from Ecovet: The Funniest Eventer on TikTok, Part 1

By on Jun 29, 2021 5:00 pm -

I found her. Her name is Karla Parsons (@muddymayhem), she lives in the UK, and she’s a first-class RIOT. I fully support a future in which this lady gets to quit her day job and become a full-time social media influencer sponsored by Charles Owen and Devoucoux (send jumping saddles only, Devoucoux dear!)

I pulled a few of Karla’s most recent — and relatively “family friendly”– TikToks and embedded them below. This is actually going to make this a two-part series, so stay tuned for part 2 and also please go follow her on TikTok because she truly deserves one million followers and early retirement.
