Can you believe it? The new show year has begun and the holidays are upon us. Where did 2005 go?

The Chapter will be holding its Annual Holiday Awards Banquet on December 1 at the Turnip Rose in Orange. The evening will include entertainment, socializing, great food, voting for the 2006 Board of Directors, and, of course, the presentation of the Chapter’s Year-End Awards. Information was mailed and/or emailed to all Chapter members. We hope to see you all there!

A big congratulations goes to all those Pomona Chapter members that will be receiving year-end recognitions. A list of those members receiving awards this year is included in this newsletter. We are keeping the actual results a secret until the Holiday Awards Banquet. For those not attending the banquet, full results will be published in the January/February issue of Free Rein.

The USDF will be hosting its annual national meeting and symposium November 30 to December 4 in Burbank. This year’s symposium features Klaus Balkenhol. For more information go to www.usdf.org, call 859-271-7875, or email [email protected].

The Midsummer Day’s Dressage show was held November 6th at the Ridge Riders Arena in West Covina. This was the first time the Chapter had used this venue. We were able to offer two rings and had a full show. Numerous exhibitors let us know that they enjoyed their experience at the new venue and that the show was very well run.

I would like to personally thank each and every volunteer that put in time at the November 6th show. As Show Manager/Secretary, it was comforting to know that there were eager and capable volunteers doing the numerous jobs that needed to be attended to. The show would not have been a success without all of you! Thank you!

In this issue you can read more about Pomona Chapter members Amy Miller and Tanya Stivers’ Adventures in Holland. You will find show results from July’s Steppin Into Summer I & II as well as August’s Midsummer Day’s Dressage. You will also find a listing of those Pomona Chapter members that have been nominated for next year’s Board of Directors.

See you all at the banquet!

4 Free Rein November/December 2005

Last time, Tanya told us about her experiences with starting her own Dutch showing career. (As of March, Tanya had received 2 more win points; now she only needs two more points to move up to L1 level.) But Tanya’s time in Holland includes more than just her own horseshows. Last year, Tanya watched the Dutch championships at Dusseldorf; attended Aachen; rode with Henk VonBergen; rode through the woods in Germany and visited the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. I visited Tanya last summer and we went on a trail ride with a group from her barn. I rode a little grey mare named Gigi. I now have a better idea where the cross country portion of three day eventing comes from! Eddie, her trainer, led us all through the country side and the woods. We rode through fields of purple flowers, wandered deep into the woods, jumped over logs, trotted past cows, crossed brooks (Tanya’s Arabian Des continues to remain opposed to crossing water as he is a “desert animal.”) and in the words of Eddie “had a bit of a gallop.” The definition of gallop in Holland differs slightly from most dressage rider’s definition. Gallop in Holland involves running nearly full out, in a group of eight riders with your hair streaming out behind and clumps of mud flinging wildly out from beneath your horse’s feet. We had the best time! We stopped at an adorable little inn/café about half way through the ride. Everyone dismounted and Eddie went in to buy coffees while the horses grazed for a little while. The people on the patio did not point in surprise at the horses. Nor were the bicyclists on the trail surprised when a group of riders came around the bend and met them nose to nose. Tanya said people in Holland are used to seeing horses everywhere. I wasn’t quite convinced of this until later. We were waiting at the train station and one of the billboards had a picture of Anky Van Gruensen advertising for one of her sponsors. I can’t remember the last time I saw any of the American riders on billboards! Clearly the Dutch people consider horses and riders an important part of their community. When we arrived back at the barn, I helped give Gigi her shower before turning her loose with a group of horses in a lush pasture. She definitely took care of me on our ride; she knew when to

walk, trot or canter and listened closely to Eddie’s instructions! Tanya and I also spent 2 days in Aachen last summer. We rode the train from Amsterdam over to Aachen and then took the bus up to the horse show. Imagine having multiple buses with their sole route going from the bus station to the horse show. And along the route we saw signs and banners everywhere for the “CHIO.” The excitement built as we approached the showgrounds. We listened to all different kinds of languages on the bus. I can honestly say we felt at home as soon as we heard someone complain about the footing at a recent horse show and the plastic chains the show management used instead of plastic pipe and pylons for the arena rails. Once we arrived at the show, we found our seats and started watching the competition. The horses were, of course, absolutely incredible. We did not envy the judges who had to decide between the likes of Anky and Ulla, Debbie and Beatriz. How can the judges choose between elegance or power, grace or strength? The subjectiveness of the sport becomes real then; but, truly it does not take away from the majesty of the horses. During one of the first rides of the evening competition, some of the dark clouds that had been gathering in the south started traveling toward the arena. During the second ride of the competition, the clouds arrived and brought with them a huge storm burst. The rain started pouring down in waves at “C”. With the sun shining through the clouds, we watched the glistening rain make its way down the length of the arena. The brave rider continued his test. Then the winds came. The judges abandoned their gazebos and ran up into the covered stands. The people in the lower levels of the stands, complete with open umbrellas, ran up the aisle ways to higher, more covered areas. Still, the brave rider continued. Then the wind blew the long side of the dressage court over. The rider then admitted defeat, saluted the only remaining

The judges awarded the rider honorable mention during the awards ceremony and he received an umbrella as his prize! Tanya and I each chose our favorites and cheered for them enthusiastically. But, we both agreed, our favorite moments of the rides began after the final salute. The horses looked so happy and pleased with themselves as they exited the arena. Who can deny the beauty of a horse walking out of the arena with long strides, on a long rein, with eyes bright and ears relaxed, content with a job well done? The happiness of the horses at the end of the ride provided as much inspiration to us as the precision and obedience of the training during the ride. Living in Holland provides such an amazing range of opportunities. From starting her own Dutch competition career to watching top European riders at reasonably close shows, Tanya’s time in Holland gives her such a broad base of experiences. I, for one, will certainly not forget cantering headlong across a field, jumping over fallen logs in the forest and later that same week, admiring the power of Ulla Salzgeber’s Rusty at Aachen.
