May 21-22
Come join us in Pierre, South Dakota for our schooling show & clinic
with Martina Chapman, FEI rider, USDF "L" judge, and Bronze & Silver
medalist.

Pierre is a lovely area - perfect for a family weekend (many of us go
to the show while hubby goes fishing!).  Classes are only $10 each,
and we are offering in hand, quadrille & pas de deux, intro - fourth
level, and some hunter over fences & prix caprilli classes!  A clinic
ride with Ms Chapman is $65 for a 45 minute lesson.

and in Huron SD...

June 7-9
Dressage Camp with Natalie Hamilton-Hinneman
A small group of riders will have the pleasure of one private ride
daily, and one group ride per day (quadrille!), and theory sessions.
Natalie has studied with two-time Olympic team member Kathleen Raine,
& Johann Hinneman, and was a member of the 2002 North Am. Young
Riders Silver Medal Team & Individual Top 5 finisher.  Spots are
limited, so contact us ASAP!  Sarah Patrick is the organizer, and you
may reach her at slp4mag@...

June 10, 11 & 12
An Adult Team Competition kicks off the weekend, with 2 more days to
strut your stuff!  A very reasonably priced show, with a covered
outdoor ring! We're in the omnibus too, so take a peek!

*** we are accepting class sponsors too - for as little as $35 you
can have your business or services in the spotlight (announced at the
show, approx. 2"x4" ad in the show book, and listed online)!

Complete info on all events can be found on our club's yahoo group
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/dakdressage/


Thanks so much for letting me share our info with you... we are a
relatively small club, and relatively new.  Going to a 3 day show
format is a big step for us, and we appreciate your help in getting
the word out about our activities!

Hi- Per the saddle fitter, it would fit a wide horse who has a wither, but not a mutton withered type, if this helps. If you have access to a Wintec red gullet this will tell you if this might work.
 
Attached are some photos.
I would send it on trial if I received payment and then would refund the $ upon return. I can take Pay Pal but would have to deduct the Pay Pal transaction fee if I issued a refund, since Pay Pal is really expensive.
 
I have excellent feedback on e-bay if this helps (equestriannes) . I am located in SW MO.
Thanks!

If you became a member of KCDS they should add you to the email list I think. I will check on that. We also have a Yahoo listing for anyone in region 4 that wants to join. That is how the lady in Minn. got the information because I sent that list the info also. It is titled the usdfregion4@yahoogroups.com.  If you can enter it on your own do so and if not I will get Mary Nemecek to help you get on that one.

As you may or may not know, there HAS been another bill proposed to rescind the bill passed by Senator Burns of Montana - the one allowing for the slaughter of wild horses.  This is good news, although even this new bill does not address the underlying issue - i.e. the millions of domestic cattle grazing public lands and thereby pushing out the other wildlife. 

But another situation has developed - one that I find particularly disturbing.  There is a for-profit group in Wyoming that has bought up 200 wild mares.  Their plan is to breed these mares and send their foals to Mexico and other third world countries to be used as work animals.  Their thinking is that this is a "noble" career for these unwanted animals - but the whole idea is not only ludicrous, it's suspect.  For one thing, Mexico has a huge horse slaughter industry right now - meaning if they wanted or needed work horses, they have horses available in their own country.  Secondly, the transportation fees would make the whole scheme financially unfeasible - which makes one wonder what this company is really up to??  And thirdly, horses, burros, mules, and other working farm animals in third world countries lead horrible lives.  In India, foals are put to work as young as a few weeks of age.  They are literally worked to death - often falling down dead within a harness.  Many of these peasants barely have enough food to feed themselves - they don't have enough to feed animals, esp. young animals that need to just grow up before they are mature enough to work.  The whole thing is suspicious and disturbing.  Intentionally breeding horses to become work animals in third world countries is a BAD idea. 

However... there is another solution on the horizon which looks promising.  There are a number of Indian tribes in Oklahoma who want to take horses onto their lands.  The National Congress of the American Indians (NCAI) has taken a very strong step in passing an emergency resolution to stop the slaughter of wild horses, to rescind the Burn’s amendment, and to place small numbers of wild horses on tribal lands.  Normally during the winter conference, there are NO resolutions entertained.  However, the Chairman from the Cheyenne River Reservation, Harold Frazier, sent the resolution and asked that NCAI act on it.  It has passed under emergency session and that means that 120 Tribes have signed onto the resolution.  The tribes have been very receptive to the idea of saving the horses.  The approach to taking the horses by the tribes has been one of horses returning to their ancestral lands.  It has been over 100 years that the tribes’ horses were taken from them. 

If anyone would care to write a letter of appreciation to Chairman Harold Frazier for submitting the resolution to NCAI, that would be very nice.  You can send it to:

    Chairman Harold Frazier

    Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe

    PO Box 590    

    Eagle Butte, SD  57625

 

Chairman Frazier’s tribe has done an outstanding job with managing the Virginia Range horses given to them through the BLM in 2001.  This tribe really serves as a model for wild horse management amongst the tribes – please also thank Chairman Frazier for saving the Virginia Range wild horses. (The first herd for which Wild Horse Annie sought protections).

A customer of ours at Landers Farms told me about these horses. Just in case someone is interested I wanted to pass along the information. Many of them look quite nice,
      Linda Landers

 

 




> I am passing this along in hopes you might know of someone looking for a
good horse. These are well bred Thorobreds in a bad situation and need
homes fast. The owner has passed on and the family wants the horses sold by
April 11 or they will "go down the road". The trainer is trying to place
these horses before the deadline. I helped Mary bring 3 to her barn. The
trainer brought them to Charlottesville and we picked them up from there.
They are located in Missouri and the trainer will help get them closer. The
web site is www.gifthillfarm.com and click on Missouri TB's. Please pass
this on to as many people as you can as time is short. Thanks.

Stoney Meadow Farms

Bonner Springs, KS

is pleased to announce the return of

 

Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel

Friday, April 1st  – Sunday, April 3rd, 2005

 

Dressage Trainer, Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel is an extraordinarily gifted rider and trainer.  She is an effective and articulate clinician who is also a USDF Examiner for the Instructor’s Certification program. Her background in her native country of Germany includes being first in her class completing her "Reitlehrer" (instructor of professionals) certification.  Felicitas also graduated with the highest score ever awarded since the upgrading of the program by the German government in 1982

 

Her vast experience at all levels and her exposure to many of the world’s leading riders and trainers has given her an extraordinary understanding of dressage training techniques.  Felicitas trains and teaches at First Choice Farm in Maryland – one of America’s most prestigious dressage stables and the home of County Saddlery. 

 

Felicitas emphasizes technique over strength – uses graphic analogies and exercises to help her students understand the aids.  She is the featured rider in the book “Common Sense Dressage” and was the technical editor for the English translation of Dr. Reiner Klimke’s book “Allerich”.  In 1992, Felicitas became an examiner for the USDF Instructor Certification Program and she is a frequent contributing author in “Dressage Today” magazine.
