NODA RECOGNIZED DRESSAGE SHOWS at Chagrin Valley Farms on August 17th and 18th are now OPEN for entries on www.horseshowoffice.com

Chagrin Valley Farms has made some GREAT venue improvements to their facility. Don't miss this show - come and support your local GMO!

Facility Improvements include:

⭐ Re-graded and prepped arena footing and improved all surface areas!
⭐ Added over 160 TONS(and counting!) of fine limestone material on all horse paths and walking areas on the property to make walking around safer and more comfortable for our horses!
⭐ Improved lunging rings! We're removing some of last year's material and adding fine sand to improve the lunging ring surfaces (in-progress)
⭐ Improved water supply to the outdoor wash racks; no more running low after morning watering! Large backup supply tanks are being installed to ensure a constant supply of water for bathing and watering!
⭐ Added mats to the indoor stabling area aisles
⭐ 2 x Big Ass Fans above the indoor stabling area to provide a constant breeze and improve comfort for horses and riders!
⭐ Added an east drive to the property (for tractor traffic only) that allows us to shut down traffic through the competition areas and improve safety
⭐ Added fences and gates to arena entrances and main drives of the property to improve horse and rider safety (in-progress)
⭐ Added security cameras in the stabling area and all around the property to improve security for our guests
⭐ Extended our public wi-fi network to cover all competition rings, the pavilion, and the stabling areas

Kyra Kyrklund tells a story about strawberry jam. How do you describe the taste of strawberry jam? You can say that it’s sweet, and tart, and sticky, and red, but really, until you’ve had a taste of it, you can’t fully appreciate it 🍓⁣
⁣
Learning to ride the upper levels on a horse that was trained to do it by someone else, versus learning alongside one’s horse, are both valid paths. They’re also different paths, teaching different skills. The opportunity to ride schoolmasters, as well as the opportunity to get on your horse after a more educated rider has “tuned up” your horse to be sharper and more honest to the aids than you might be able to get them, is your strawberry jam. You then get to bring that jam knowledge to your next horse, and the horse after that. ⁣
⁣
No matter what, though, there’s no jam on the planet that makes riding a schoolmaster easy. That meme that goes around about how the low level horse is like an on-off switch, and the upper level horse is like NASA Mission Control? It’s funny because it’s true. No matter how someone gets up the levels, no matter how stellar your jam is, it’s all still freaking hard.

In dressage, when you stop learning, you stop improving. To that end, USDF continually strives to make its numerous educational programs better and more useful to members.

The program that received the most recent makeover is the USDF Instructor/Trainer Development Program (I/TDP), formerly the USDF Instructor/Trainer Program. In this reprint from USDF Connection, we’ll explain the updates and why all dressage enthusiasts can benefit from attending.

"Some days you teach kids how to ride; some days you teach them how to live. A trainer's job description is complex. They spend half of the time teaching life lessons, and the other half yelling "Heels Down!!" to unsuspecting children. It's a balance. Some days call for pep talks, and others call for tough love. Sometimes they need a hug, sometimes they need a push. It's so much more than teaching someone how to ride. It's learning who they are, and helping them become who you know they can be. To all the riding instructors who do so much more than teach how to ride, I see you. You are making a difference." 💜🐴💜
