Latest Findings in USEA’s Cardiopulmonary Research Released

Since 2008 the USEA Cardiopulmonary Research Group has studied the equine cardiovascular issues that lead to sudden horse deaths during cross country in eventing, and Dr. Catherine Kohn has kindly summarized the latest findings in the study, which we’ve outlined below.

Why do horses suddenly die on cross country? “Based on a review of the literature on sudden death in human athletes, we concluded that cardiovascular and/or pulmonary (lung) compromise were likely causes of sudden death in exercising horses.”

How do horses suddenly die on cross country? “Horses may develop transient cardiac arrhythmias while on the cross country, and that, in some instances, these arrhythmias may compromise exercise tolerance and could lead to falls, injury or fatalities.”

How does the USEA collect data to track and monitor these arrhythmias? “Studying this hypothesis requires us to have a reliable means of recording exercising ECGs (echocardiograms) in competing horses, during warm up, the cross country and the first 10 minutes of the recovery period. Development of a suitable ‘on board’ monitoring system remains our highest priority.”

Has the USEA collected any data from competing horses so far? “Our most recent study was in August of 2014, at Waredaca Horse Trials, where we were very pleased to record 8 interpretable exercise ECGs. We will continue to test our recording devices during the 2015 competition season.”

What does the USEA do with autopsies from horses that die in competition? “We can learn a great deal from these most unfortunate losses. What was the cause of death? Did a fall occur because of underlying heart or lung disease? These are the sorts of questions that we try to answer.”

The report then summarizes in detail the USEA Cardiopulmonary Research Group’s work to date, which you can read in full at this link. Thank you to the researchers for their hard work; the USEA for their leadership in commissioning this important research; and the owners, trainers, riders, grooms and horses that have participated in the study to date.

FEI’s Strategic Review of WEG Sets Fire to Current Format

By Leslie Wylie on Apr 14, 2015 1:30 pm -

It has become increasingly obvious in recent years that, when it comes to the WEG, something’s gotta give. It’s one of those ideas that is all warm and glow-y in concept — athletes and fans from around the world singing “kumbaya” around the campfire of equestrian sport! — but dangerously flammable in execution.

Whose backyard are we going to have this thing in? How are we going to finance all these marshmallows? And did anyone remember a fire extinguisher?

In an unprecedented admission that maybe (just maybe!) the current WEG model has some “problems,” the FEI commissioned a third-party strategic review of the Games post-Normandy (you can read the executive summary here).

The agency that compiled the report, The Sports Consultancy, lays it all out there, starting out with an outline of recent muck-ups (the gaping money hemorrhage of WEG 2010, the logistical nightmare that was WEG 2014, the pulling-of-teeth bidding process for WEG 2018, etc.) From the intro:

The FEI recognises that, as a result of these challenges, the Event risks becoming unsustainable and questions have arisen from a number of sources about its future. Should the FEI World Equestrian Games™ continue to exist? If the answer is yes, how can it sustain and enhance its attractiveness to its stakeholders?

Consequently, the FEI has commissioned a strategic review of the FEI World Equestrian Games™ to deconstruct the Event and understand what, if any, changes should be made in order for its flagship event to remain an attractive proposition and grow into a truly global major event.

Clearly we’re not the only ones who’ve been pondering the WEG’s future — or, potentially, lack thereof. Here’s a quick-and-dirty rundown of the problems the agency identified based on hundreds of interviews with spectators, stakeholders and event officials, and their recommended solutions:

Screenshot from report

Problem: Not enough $$$.

“The event format is too expensive and too complex.”

Proposed solution: Keep the eight disciplines but cut competitor numbers. Shorten the length of the event (they recommend 9-10 days) and reduce the number of venues (no more than 3-4 within close proximity to one another). Also rein in superfluous expenses like insanely over-the-top opening/closing ceremonies.

Screenshot from report

Problem: Nobody wants to be the host.

“The sheer scale, associated cost and required independent / public sector investment is preclusive to the majority of prospective hosts … Bidders want more information during the bidding process and, crucially, also want the information contextualized and explained.”

Proposed solution: Well of course no one wants to be the host. (1) No one likes losing money hand over fist and (2) the bidding process is insanely daunting. Maybe if we give bidders a little support — wine and dine them instead of shutting them down completely — more countries will invite us over to play.

Screenshot from the report

Problem: The sponsorship situation is a mess.

“The current sponsorship model is overly reliant on a single title sponsor, leading to an imbalance in presence and influence.”

Proposed solution: Move away from the title sponsor model to one that secures 5-7 equal partner sponsors. Not only would that increase and diversify the revenue stream, it ensures that, should the title sponsor wake up one morning and decide to take their money elsewhere, the WEG isn’t screwed completely.

Screenshot from report

Problem: When the WEG looks bad, the FEI looks bad.

“Some of the negative feedback in Normandy was incorrectly directed at the FEI.”

Proposed solution: Maybe it was their fault, maybe it wasn’t, but pointing fingers elsewhere is never an effective (or flattering) strategy. Instead, the report recommends that the FEI embrace accountability and take control of their event.

Screenshot from the report

Problem: WEG lacks curb appeal.

“The consultation made it clear that the competition has becoming slightly boring (even to established fans), less attractive to broadcasters and inaccessible to new fans.”

Proposed solution: Time to up the razzle-dazzle factor, cutting out boring “non-essential compulsory elements” and re-imagining the event format in a way that’s entertaining, engaging and TV-friendly. (Although renaming the sport of eventing, er, “equestrathon” may be taking things one step too far.)

Kid gloves, off! You can read the executive summary in its entirety here.

Turning your flagship event over to a third-party consulting agency for extensive review, then publishing the hard-boiled results for all the world to see, is a risky move, and the FEI hasn’t historically been known for its transparency.

With its new leadership in place, we’re hopeful that this isn’t a one-off but the start of a paradigm shift that will realign equestrian sport’s governing body with its constituents. We all want to see a healthy WEG in the future, whether in its current format or a revised one. Thank you, FEI, for getting the fire started.

Pick Your Rolex Kentucky Fantasy Team to Win a ‘Toe to Head’ Dubarry Outfit

By Sally Spickard on Apr 14, 2015 11:00 am -

It’s time to gear up for the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by Land Rover, and this year we want you to play along! After Team USA won the Dubarry Nations Team Challenge in 2014, the competition has heated up with the announcement of this year’s Team Challenge.

Four members from each country will be drawn at random to compete in the Dubarry Nations Team Challenge this year, and smaller countries will be put together onto a team with another nation. Throughout the weekend, the team objective will be to achieve the lowest possible cumulative score, with the winning team being crowned after show jumping on Sunday.

In honor of this year’s Team Challenge, we’re issuing a challenge to you: Can your fantasy Rolex Kentucky team beat the best nation at this year’s event?

Here’s how it will work:

How do I sign up? Follow this link, click “Play Now.” From there, you’ll want to enter your chosen team name into the box beneath “Join a Public League.” Once you’ve joined, you will be able to select four riders from the start list to complete your team by clicking “Manage Lineups.” You will not need to select any other riders after selecting your initial line-up.

Each horse and rider combination will be available for all players to choose from — there will be no “draft” as with other fantasy leagues. Please be sure to check the Game Log before selecting your choices to check for any new withdrawals!

Once you have selected your team, please follow this link to submit your tiebreaker picks. This is very important in the event of a tie, so be sure to make your picks or your entry will not be counted.

As with standard team competitions, you will be able to drop one score throughout the weekend in an effort to achieve the lowest possible cumulative score when the event concludes Sunday.

We’ll be updating scores each night, which will be emailed to you once they are updated, so keep an eye on your team members and cheer them on!

What’s on the line? Dubarry has generously offered a complete “Toe to Head” outfit to the winner of the Fantasy League. The lucky individual who picks the lowest cumulative scoring team in the league will win the outfit of their choice. How’s that for a makeover?

What if there’s a tie? When you submit your team, we will ask you via email to predict the winning individual horse and rider pair as well as their score. In the event of a tie, this prediction will be used as the tie breaker.

When do I need to sign up by? Sign ups are open now and will be open until noon EST on Monday, April 20. All teams will be locked in on Tuesday night before the first horse inspection.

We’d like to issue a huge thank you and many EN karma points to the brains behind Fantasizr, who have worked tirelessly to create our very own custom fantasy league.

If you have any questions at all throughout your set-up and the competition, don’t hesitate to email [email protected].

So what are you waiting for, EN? Sign up now for your chance at Dubarry glory. Be sure to click the banner below to scope out the outfit you’ll choose if you win. Good luck!

FEI to Examine Sweeping Overhauls to Eventing (or ‘Equestrathon’)

By Jenni Autry on Apr 14, 2015 9:00 am -

This is not an April Fool’s joke, folks. The FEI is set to examine a list of proposed changes later this month at the FEI Sports Forum in Switzerland that would enact sweeping overhauls to eventing at the Olympic, Championship and all FEI levels.

This comes after the FEI hired Charles Barnett, former director of Ascot Racecourse, to “conduct an audit into eventing with the purpose of identifying factors that may affect eventing as an Olympic sport.”

You can read all the background on why the FEI is proposing these changes at the beginning of the document at this link. But let’s jump right in, shall we?

Olympics and FEI Championships

The FEI is proposing a complete separation of team and individual competitions at the Olympics and FEI Championships, with both the team and individual portion running concurrently and athletes only being permitted to participate in one of these.

Teams would compete at the the three-star level at championships, while individuals would complete at the four-star level at championships. The Olympic Games would allot 65 total slots for athletes in eventing, with 40 to 45 places for the team competition and 25 to 20 for the individual competition.

Team competitions would run over a three-star level cross country course and use four-star level dressage and jumping tests, with teams being a maximum of three members with no drop score. One reserve horse per team would be allowed. All team members would ride one after the other in all three phases.

In the jumping phases, the time of the round would be added for all team members “so that a faster round of one team member could counterbalance a slower round of another member.”

Under this new proposed format, only individual competitors would use four-star level cross country, dressage and jumping tests at championships, with a maximum of three athletes per nation allowed.

Levels and formats

The FEI is also proposing that the Classics CCI4* circuit for individuals be totally separated from an Olympic and Championship circuit for teams. As outlined above, team competitions at the Olympics and WEG would run over three-star level cross country “for the development of the sport,” while the “true CCI4* level” would be reserved for individual competitions only.

Part of the idea behind proposing this is to allow qualification for championships to take place on the same level as the competition, as opposed to at a lower level as it does now. There would be increased qualification requirements for the CCI4* level on both the Classics circuit and at FEI Championships for individuals.

The FEI is also proposing creating a new international level for children/ponies at 1.05 meter height on cross country “that could also be very useful for developing nations.” This new level would become the one-star level, with all other levels being upgraded accordingly, i.e. 1 star becomes 2 star, 3 star becomes 4 star, and 4 star becomes 5 star (EN called it!).

Merging the CIC*/CCI* and CIC2*/CCI2* levels is also outlined in the proposal, as is adding a CIC4* format.

New cross country penalties

A new penalty system for cross country is also slated to be discussed, i.e. 10 points for the first refusal on course, 30 (4o) for the second refusal.

The FEI is also proposing giving 5 penalties for “knocking flags on skinny, narrow, corners fences. Clearly a completely different approach from course designers (allowing more space between flags) must allow the possibility, for a straight horse when jumping correctly, to jump without touching flags.”

Cross country bitting is also slated to be addressed, as the FEI feels “that strong bitting used by less experienced riders can affect the ability of the horse to focus on the fence and use his natural abilities to solve the jumping question.”

Renaming the sport

And, in some sort of grand finale, the report ends by proposing three options to re-name eventing, which presumably are meant to align with the FEI core objective to “ensure the competition to be the ‘best sport entertainment’ — attractive, modern, TV and spectator friendly.”

The three proposed new names (and I promise we are not making this up) are: Equestrian triathlon, Equestrathon and Tri-equathlon. Try saying that last one three times fast. Actually, try saying any of them three times fast.

Twitter is already buzzing with what implementing even a fraction of these proposed overhauls could mean for the sport. Now it’s your turn to weigh in, EN. Check out the proposal in full at this link and leave your thoughts in the comments.

These changes will be presented at the FEI Sports Forum in Switzerland on April 27. Click here for more on the FEI Sports Forum and here to see a list of all the topics up for discussion. The future of WEG will also be addressed; we’ll be back with more on that later in the day.

And please vote for which of the three new proposed names for the sport you think is the most terrible in the poll below.

William Fox-Pitt Withdraws Parklane Hawk & Freddie Mac from Rolex

By Jenni Autry on Apr 13, 2015 4:00 pm -

We had been expecting to see Parklane Hawk withdrawn from Rolex Kentucky any day now, as Horse & Hound had reported that the horse will compete at Badminton instead, but now Freddie Mac has been withdrawn along with Parklane Hawk.

This gives William Fox-Pitt just one entry for the event in last year’s winner Bay My Hero, which isn’t totally unusual — he also rode only one horse at the event in 2011 and 2012 — but it still gives him one less chance to take home his fourth Rolex watch.

This set of withdrawals brings the entry list down to 80 and also gives us two fewer horses in the powerhouse overseas contingent slated to make the trip. As we reported earlier today, Andreas Dibowski withdrew FRH Butts Avedon this morning after being unhappy with U.S. quarantine restrictions.

Twelve horses have now been withdrawn since entries went live: Mr. Medicott, Copper Beech, Zatopek B, Cavallino Cocktail, High Times, HHS Cooley, Manoir de Carneville, Nonsensical, Mojito, FRH Butts Avedon, Parklane Hawk and Freddie Mac.

RNS Video has been hard at work compiling a video montage of the influential second water complex on the Ocala Horse Properties International CCI2* cross country course. After dropping off a bank, horses and riders took four strides before tackling a set of skinny double brushes separated by two strides, and, as you’ll see, the combination caused its fair share of trouble!

Due to bandwidth issues, RNS Video uploaded the footage in two parts, so enjoy this welcomed Monday distraction. Many thanks to RNS Video for yet another great video, and click here to read all of EN’s coverage from Ocala.

Rolex Rookies: Jimmie Schramm and Bellamy

By Sally Spickard on Apr 13, 2015 1:30 pm -

Welcome to our second annual Rolex Rookies series! We're thrilled to be profiling the new faces on the entry list for Rolex this year, and we couldn't be more excited for these riders taking their first crack at Kentucky. We'll be bringing you exclusive profiles on each Rookie pair, so keep checking back to learn more about the competitors you'll see in Kentucky this year. Go Rolex!

The chance to gallop around the Kentucky Bluegrass at the CCI4* level is a goal that has been a long time coming for Jimmie Schramm. This year, the stars have finally aligned for Jimmie and her 15-year-old Oldenburg/Thoroughbred gelding, Bellamy, and the bubble wrap is in full use as the big event rapidly approaches. Jimmie and “Bells” have been competing at the FEI levels since 2012, but their partnership began long before they reached the international scene.

“(The upper levels) were always the idea in my mind when I got him,” Jimmie said. “When I bought him from Tamie (Smith), she told me then and there that this was going to be a four-star horse. He had all the attributes, but until you really get to the Advanced level and feel them get around and be confident, you just don’t know for sure.”

When Jimmie purchased Bellamy, he’d completed one Preliminary event with Tamie Smith. Jimmie spent the first couple of years getting to know him, hammering out the fundamentals at Preliminary until reaching the CIC* and, eventually, the Intermediate level in 2012. Bellamy has by no means been the easiest horse to ride, but Jimmie points to this as a reason they’ve cultivated such a strong partnership.

“Once upon a time, I couldn’t do a warm-up with him at all,” she recalled. “The first few shows, I would trot or canter as I was going around the (dressage) arena — he just couldn’t handle the warm-up. He’d spin or buck, and I’d be lucky to get five or 10 minutes of work in. My strategy worked alright at Prelim and maybe even Intermediate, but there’s just no way you can do that at the Advanced level. He’s come a very long way in the last few years.”

Their move up to the Advanced and three-star level was not without growing pains, and after the pair’s attempt at the Dutta Corp Fair Hill International CCI3* in 2014 went awry, Jimmie set her jaw and began working to correct each and every issue.

“Derek (di Grazia) demands that you ride forward and don’t pick, which is something I’ve had trouble with in the past,” she elaborated. “I’ve actually changed a lot from the fall. Plantation and Fair Hill didn’t go to plan for me, and I knew there had to be a big change if I was going to make this work.”

Jimmie revamped her training as well as her nutrition plan for Bellamy, who in the past had recurring episodes of tying up. “We’ve been jumping more often — nothing difficult or hard, but more often. And every jump school I’ve had has been with Boyd (Martin) in a lesson-type atmosphere.”

“I’ve completely changed his diet,” she continued. “I’ve taken him off every calming supplement he was on. For me, it’s a bit tricky because he’s naturally anxious. I used to try all sorts of things, and I’ve stopped doing that so every test this year has been without any supplements, which is great because it means I’m riding a trained horse and not getting help from anything else.”

Indeed, it seems that Jimmie’s new plan has been working. A look at their recent dressage scores seem right on par — and perhaps even trending better in horse trial divisions — with what they were earning while using calming supplements, which is a testament to the hard work Jimmie has been putting in within the sandbox.

As far as Bellamy’s issues with tying up, Jimmie is pleased to report that he has not done so since she went back to the drawing board. She’s also been able to modify his dressage warm-up to the point where she can actually get in a good warm-up, a huge change from the nervous days of avoiding the warm-up ring at all costs.

Coming into Kentucky, Jimmie and Bellamy have jumped clear at both Red Hills and Carolina International — and made the time at Carolina. They have one blip on their cross country record at The Fork where they got in too deep to a corner early on course. Aside from that, she’s been thrilled with her prep events as she hopes to peak in Kentucky.

“I’m not going to take anything for granted,” she said. “Cross country is not our weakest phase but I definitely have to really be on it. He’s little and catty and does not have a super long stride, and I have to be really accurate as far as distances are concerned.”

“Everything went according to plan at Carolina. That was also a big problem in the fall — I didn’t run many events last year. I can cross country school as much as I want but it’s going out and making those decisions quickly that makes a difference. I’m still taking everything one event at a time, but the vets are on him every two weeks checking his soundness, and he’s been so confident and happy.”

Jimmie is looking forward to seeing her closest friends and family cheer her on in Kentucky. “I have three older sisters, and they don’t get to watch me ride much. I think all of them are going to be there, as well as my parents.”

“They’ve watched me sacrifice so much to get here, and to see it finally all come to a head — it’s a goal I’ve been striving for since I was 5. I think the whole experience will be great; I’m just trying not to have too many expectations or put too much pressure on myself. I just want to go and try my best in every phase and finish the event.”

When asked what she’ll be thinking when she goes down the chute for her first Rolex dressage test, the answer came easy: “The lyrics to “Dressage Skillz,” of course!”

And on a more serious note, she said: “You want people to remember who you are, and I want them to remember my test. That’s what I’ll be thinking going down centerline.“

Rolex Entry Update: Andreas Dibowski Withdraws FRH Butts Avedon

By Jenni Autry on Apr 13, 2015 11:00 am -

We have another heavy hitter off the Rolex Kentucky entry list this morning, as Andreas Dibowski has withdrawn his seasoned four-star campaigner FRH Butts Avedon, which brings the total number of entries down to 82.

The 12-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by Andreas, Manfred Giensch and Anne-Kathrin Butt, finished fifth two weeks ago in the CIC2* at Luhmühlen and finished eighth last month in the CICO3* at Fontainebleau.

Andreas posted on his Facebook page that the horse is in excellent form for Kentucky, but he decided to withdraw due to U.S. quarantine regulations, which would require his groom to be separated from the horse for a period of time.

He also said he tried to submit a late entry to Badminton, where low entries this year will likely see all the horses get in off the wait list, but confirmed the organizers denied his request.

Two more names are also off the entry list since our last update, as Emilee Libby has withdrawn Nonsensical, her 12-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, and USEF Eventing 25 rider Maddy Mazzola has also withdrawn Mojito, her 14-year-old Argentinian Warmblood cross gelding.

Ten horses have now been withdrawn since entries went live: Mr. Medicott, Copper Beech, Zatopek B, Cavallino Cocktail, High Times, HHS Cooley, Manoir de Carneville, Nonsensical, Mojito and FRH Butts Avedon.
