Hi: I have organized a clinic with Melanie Tenney for April 3-4 in Springfield, MO.  Most of you are familiar with her name, as she is a Faculty member with the USDF and travels extensively teaching Certified trainer workshops. She is a very popular (and busy) clinician and teacher and I had the privilege of riding with her through the 2003 Region 4 Adult Camp last year.  She is very positive and seems to have an endless supply of exercises. She is well worth auditing.

 

The clinic is full, but there is limited seating for auditing. Auditing is $25/both days or $15 /day. Included is a Saturday evening lecture. The facility is located within 10 minutes of motels, etc. For information on registration and directions, please contact me at jklfarm@... or call 417-742-3720.

 

Hope to see you there, and feel free to pass the word!

Hi there,

You should contact Leatherdale Farms in the Twin Cities area. They had a
woman from the Twin Cities handle their horses at their Hanoverian
inspection last year that was supposedly pretty good.

Hi.

So glad I found you all.  I'm looking for someone to handle my
stallion in-hand at one of the early Mason City, IA shows.

If you know of anyone in my area, please send them my way.  I'm
located south of Ames.

Thanks!

Sarah, just wanted you to keep our barn, Meadowbrook Equestrian Center in Shell Knob, MO abreast of all your happenings.  My barn is dedicated to Dressage, Hunter/Jumpers and Eventing.  We have a cross country course and my riders need places to show.  We are having a one-day horse trial here on July 31 and an eventing clinic with Buck Davidson on June 26-27.  We are also trying to organize a Dressage clinic with Stacey Schettkoe. Stacey was a working student of Michael Poulin.  She is a bronze and silver medalist, a certified instructor throug 4th and an "L" judge graduate with distinction.  Her lessons will cost approximately $125 per lesson.

She works with riders of all disciplines and can help any age group.  She is truly a wonderful teacher.  Basically, I need to know how many are interested.  Would appreciate the reply:  Marnie Braun mbec@....

Subject: [usdfregion4] Activities in the northwestern portion of the Region

Thanks for setting up this interactive web-site for Region 4!  Dakota
Dressage & Eventing has had a YahooGroups web-site and listserve
since last September and we have found it a great way to communicate
with our members who span both South and North Dakota.  We also use
the chat room feature to hold meetings and on-line book club
discussions during the winter months when travel can be difficult.

DDE is planning several activities in 2004, some of which include:
* a schooling show series with show locations aimed for Vermillion,
Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Pierre, Bismarck (ND) and possibly other
locations (i.e., Rapid City).
*  Two recognized dressage shows with classes through the FEI and a
fun team competition as part of the Missouri River Show Weekend in
Ft. Pierre, SD, June 12-13.  The judges are Sarah Geikie, 'S' (CT)
and Marie Johnson, 'R' (WI).  Barb Funk is our TD.  Susan Lesmeister
Nickle is the show secretary.  Please contact her at
slesmeiste@... or check the show web-site: 
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/MRSW for more information.  We would love
to see you that weekend!
*  A USDF Instructor Certification workshop with Melanie Tenney for
training - second level tentatively scheduled for Sioux Falls or
Huron, SD. This is a follow-up workshop for Participating Instructors
who were in the DDE/USDF workshop series in SD in 2003.  Demo
riders/horses may be needed.
*  A USDF Instructor Certification Pre-Certification exam scheduled
for September 18-19 at the state fairgrounds in Huron, SD.  This will
be held in conjunction with the Iowa Dressage & Combined Training
Association, who will also have their own Participating Instructors
ready for pre-cert this year.
*  Though early in planning, we may be hosting a sport horse breeding
seminar with a very successful breeder from the Netherlands (Ruud
Walters) this summer or in 2005.  Mr. Walters has bred several
successful dressage offspring and fully approved stallions (e.g.,
Dream of Heidelberg who stands at Gestute St. Ludwig in Germany).  If
you are interested in this, please let me know, as it will help us
with our planning.

I want to thank the GMO newsletter editors in the region for the very
useful newsletter exchange we've started.  I hope you noticed several
of your events/activities listed in our last newsletter.

Happy riding to you all!

Dear Mary,
          I put in my big email what you had sent me. You may get a great many emails. That was a Region 4 email, not a Yahoo group. Do you want me to send another and use the information you just sent. I could do so in another week or so. I don't want to overwhelm people with group emails. Bill Adams sent the large one to everyone in region 4 that we have an email address on.
           Are you also putting together the flier for Equifest, or is Staci. I just wanted to be able to connect before I go down on the Thursday before.
           Linda

There has been some confusion over how to access/join the USDF Region
4 e-groups.  I wanted to make sure everyone had the correct address
to put in their url- and the correct address to pass on to others
that are interested in joining.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems accessing

facility!  We have been doing our shows at the Woodlands Race Track.  1
ring, Sonja Marita-Vracko "S", Intro through Grand Prix and Musical
Freestyle.  Limited stalling.  Contact me for more information.

Horses for sale:

I've been breeding for some years now and have a selection of sport horses
for sale, including:

     Peseta, 4 yr old mare, dark gray, Anglo-Trakehner (Macht by Jockey Club
TB)
                 15-2 1/2.  Started under saddle and over fences but still
green.  Has
                 been hacked at a busy show in Oklahoma and was quiet for the
trainer.
                 AWR - 1st premium with score of 7.5.   "Natural jumper"
                 Asking $7000

      Juliana, 3 yr old mare, bay with 1 white sock and star.
Trakehner-Hanoverian
                  (Macht by MMB Oldenburg/ISR mare)  Currently 15-3, should
                  mature over 16 hands.  2 siblings jump well.  She has a
nice canter
                  and is a very sweet mare.  AWR - 1st premium.  $9000 until
started
                  under saddle this spring.

     Lorelei, Filly, 2 yr old in May, Bay with 3 white socks and blaze.
Hanoverian
                  (Landkonig - elite Han. stallion imported from Germany by
MMB
                   Oldenburg mare)  AWR inspection - Reserve Champion in
Midwest
                   and 3rd highest score in nation with score of 8.1 (8.25
for gaits).
                   Should mature over 16 hands.  $10,500.

I am particularly interested in sending Peseta on to a home where she could
do jumping or 3 day eventing, as that seems to be her strength and I don't
jump.  She is a sweet mare and might make a great horse for a more
experienced Pony Club rider.

Thanks so much, Julie.
