ODS Fall Festival Information/Schedules

October 29th, 2011

The current registration list has been published on the ODS website at http://www.oregondressage.com/2011_documents/fallfestival/reservation-list.pdf – if you have not already reviewed this list to ensure your registration has been processed accurately, please do so.

We have had an incredible response to this event – not only from our members and friends through their registrations, but also from sponsors, vendors and donors for our auction.  The first 300 people registered will receive a “goodie bag” with coupons, samples and more (numbers are next to names on the registration list).

When you get to the event, please check in at the registration desk to obtain your badge and registration packet.  If you are registered for both days, you will only need to check in on Saturday (but don’t forget your badge for admittance Sunday!).

Other details:

  • If you are signed up for the entire weekend but are NOT planning on coming for lunch or dinner on Saturday, please let the ODS office know so that we can give the hotel the most accurate seating count.
  • Because this event is USDF University Credit Approved, there will be additional paperwork for you to fill out at registration, plus sign in sheets and evaluation forms for each educational session.  If you have not yet signed up for University Credit but wish to, you can take care of that when you arrive.
  • If you have not yet volunteered, we are still seeking a few helpers for registration desk (early morning), to help sell ODS clothing/merchandise throughout the weekend and for silent auction check-out after the banquet.  We could also use some helpers at the ODS office on Tuesday the 1st from 11 AM – 1 PM to stuff goodie bags and put together registration packets.
  • We will have Restaurant Bonanza Raffle Tickets available all day Saturday – PLEASE consider supporting this raffle as the profits all go into the Linda Acheson Education Fund – $10.00 per ticket or 12 tickets for $100.00.  We have about 390 tickets remaining.  The winner will receive $500 in gift certificates from restaurants (2nd place $250, 3rd place $125).  If you are coming for Sunday only and wish to purchase raffle tickets – please contact the ODS Office to so so.

3 Strategies That Will Help You Raise Your Scores Every Time You Show

Presented by Cathy Rivers, a Certified Life and Business Coach

This class will be presented Saturday, November 5th at 8 AM in Mt. St. Helens Classroom

This session will explore 3 strategies that will help you consistently raise your scores show after show. Cathy will share tips and information that you can apply immediately to your work with your horse.

  • Strategy #1: Eliminate your primary source of self-sabotage (and Cathy will tell you what it is!)
  • Strategy #2: Train your brain to be an asset not a liability
  • Strategy #3: Manage your emotions so your emotions won’t manage you

About the Presenter: Cathy Rivers of Big Horse Dreams, Inc. is the Equestrian’s Confidence Coach. While equestrians should always strive to improve their horsemanship, Cathy believes magic happens for the equestrian when their confidence surpasses their riding technique. Cathy’s Gold Medal Programs complement traditional training, focusing solely on the vital ingredient of confidence for horse and rider. Cathy is the author of the Equestrian’s Confidence Assessment, a tool that gives any horse and rider pair a profile of their combined confidence. Cathy is a Certified Life and Business Coach. Her practice now focuses on helping equestrians create lives that allow their own big horse dreams to come true. Cathy lives on her farm outside Olympia WA where she breeds and trains Swedish Warmbloods.

Show Biz –Scribe Training

Presented by Rose Newman
This class will be presented Saturday, November 5th at 8 AM in the Mt. Adams Classroom

This session will break down the duties and responsibilities for this critical dressage show volunteer position.  Without scribes, a dressage show cannot be held. The primary function of the Scribe is to transcribe (put into writing) the Judge’s scores and comments onto the test scoring sheet, thereby allowing the Judge to maintain continuous visual contact with the horse and rider during a test.  Judges depend upon the Scribe to quickly, accurately, legibly, and quietly record the scores and comments made about each ride.  Scribing provides a unique opportunity for interested individuals to learn more about how shows are judged. This session will provide an overview of basic training for scribes (both newbies and those volunteers seeking a refresher course) – there will be instructions for proper spelling of the terminology, abbreviations used in dressage as well as a description of the protocol that comes with the duty.

About the Presenter: Rose Newman is currently the ODS President Elect, on several show management teams and is on multiple ODS Committees.  In addition, she managed the 2010 & 2011 USDF Region 6 Championship Show and serves on several national USDF committees as well.  She is active nationally as a volunteer and has been recognized multiple times as an ODS Volunteer of the Year as well as the Region 6 Volunteer of the Year. She lives in Vancouver, Washington and is a member of the Fort Vancouver Chapter – ODS.

ODS: Historian needs your photos

October 19th, 2011

I need photographs!

Hello All,

I am beginning to compile the 2011 ODS year book. I have lots of information about events, I have competition results and I have chapter reports.

What I don’t have is illustrations.

If you were a champion in 2011 (or reserve) a photo of you and your horse would be grand, not necessarily at a show.

Did your horse win an award outside ODS? Again a photo would be nice.

What did your chapter do? Photos of events are very much appreciated.

Does anyone have photos of the Dolly Hannon tests clinic or the L program sessions?

Behind the scene show photos are always interesting.

Don’t forget to include the names of all those in the photo and a brief description of where/when/what.

Also, I need articles, photographs, illustrations of ODS members mentioned elsewhere in the press. I am limited to USDF Connection, USEF Equestrian and Flying Changes.

The year books have been essential to the production of the soon to be published ODS 40th Anniversary book.

Please e-mail to Siobhan@haywardfarm.com or snail mail to

Siobhan Barker

53363 NW Hayward Rd

Banks, OR 97106-8830

Many Thanks

Horse/Rider Combinations set for the upcoming Steffen Peters Clinic at the ODS Fall Festival

October 12th, 2011

Hillsboro, Oregon: The Oregon Dressage Society, Inc. (ODS) announces the six selected demonstration horse/rider combinations who will be riding in the upcoming Steffen Peters symposium on November 6th at the DevonWood Equestrian Centre in Sherwood, Oregon.

The selected combinations include:

  • Dr. Barbara Crabbe, DVM, an adult amateur of Oregon City, OR, riding Bel Aire, a 5 year old 16.2 hand Dutch Warmblood Mare (KWPN) – Training Level
  • Anna Keenan, a 20-year-old young rider of Dexter, OR, riding Lena, a 5-year old 16.2 hand Hanoverian Mare – Second Level
  • Cristy Wilkerson, an adult amateur of Ravensdale, WA, riding Vivagenda, a 9 year old 16.2 hand Dutch Warmblood Mare  (KWPN) – Third Level
  • Jason MacAfee, an instructor/trainer of Albany, OR, riding Dynamic Hit, a 8 year old 17 hand Danish Warmblood Gelding – Fourth Level
  • Madeline McKallip, a a 20-year-old young rider of Portland, OR, riding Donna Carina, a 15 year old 16 hand Hanoverian Mare – Intermediare I
  • Jessica Wisdom, an instructor/trainer of Ridgefield, WA, riding North Forks Cardi, a 10 year old 14.3 hand Welsh Cob Stallion owned by Cynthia Miller of Pleasant Hill, OR and Jessica Wisdom – Grand Prix
  • Alternate: Nancy Weaver, an adult amateur of Bend, OR, riding Zhorick DG, a 7 year old 16.3 hand Dutch Warmblood (KWPN) Gelding – First Level
  • Alternate: Heather Oleson, an instructor/trainer of Eagle, ID, riding Escorial, a 13 year old 17 hand Wesfalen Gelding – Grand Prix

Demonstration horse/rider combinations were selected by a 5-member volunteer committee compromised of ODS members from across the Pacific Northwest.  Selection criteria included the necessity for the demonstration horse to be able to work in a chaotic environment, being able to perform all movements at the level on the application, and the rider’s acknowledgement in their role as a demo rider and agreement to respectfully follow all requests and instructions made by the clinician.   “We had 53 horse/rider combinations apply to be demo riders at this event,” stated Rachel Merusi, the selection committee chair.   “The committee had a tough time narrowing the selections down to six combinations.”   The committee made an effort to include multiple breeds of horses, to equally include professional riders, adult amateurs and junior/young riders and to incorporate horse/rider combinations from across the ODS regions.

In addition to the six scheduled symposium horse/rider combinations selected by the committee, Steffen Peters has agreed to work with Para-Equestrian Lise Yervasi of Baker City, OR.   Yervasi was originally diagnosed with ALS (“Lou Gehrig’s Disease) in 2009 however she actually suffers from a rare autoimmune motor neuron disorder.  She received her international grade certificate of Grade IV Para-Equestrian (which is equivalent to Third Level) at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky.   Yervasi’s horse is a 12 year old 17 hand US bred Hanoverian named Brendan Braveheart.  Brendan Braveheart is the infamous Olympic mount Brentina’s brother who was gifted to Yervasi by retired Olympic and Para-Equestrian Dressage Judge Libby Anderson from Jupiter, Florida.

The Steffen Peters symposium will be held as a part of the ODS Fall Festival and 40th Anniversary Celebration.  The ODS Fall Festival will be kicked off on Saturday, November 5th at the Shilo Inn – Portland Airport.  The day will be compromised of classroom education, a lunchtime presentation by Portland’s own internationally recognized equestrian photographer Mary Cornelius, a 40th Anniversary Celebration in the afternoon and an evening annual Special Awards Banquet.  Olympian Steffen Peters will make a rare Oregon appearance during the ODS Fall Festival to speak at the ODS anniversary banquet and to give a symposium as part of Oregon Dressage Society’s continued commitment to dressage education for riders of all ages and experience levels.

Peter’s highlights include being named to three US Olympic teams; Bronze medals at the Olympics and World Equestrian Games , FEI World Cup Champion, Champion of Dressage at Aachen, Germany and two time USEF Equestrian of the Year.   Last summer, Peters swept the small tour in Aachen, Germany astride one mount and scored exceptionally well with another.  Then, in September, he went 6 for 6 at the 2011 US Dressage Championships in New Jersey.

Peters will be arriving in Portland fresh from the Pan Am Games – the one international event he has yet to dominate.  The U.S. won team gold at the last two Pan Ams, in Santo Domingo in 2003 and Rio de Janeiro in 2007, and in Rio also claimed the individual gold and silver medals.  Peters, of San Diego, California, has won individual and team medals before but never team gold.  “Of course the individual medals will be interesting, but my priority and 90 percent of this whole adventure is the team effort. That’s what I’m so excited about,” said Peters to the Chronicle of the Horse in September.   Born in Germany , Peters has been in the United States since 1985 and became a U.S. citizen in 1992.  He is a 3-time Olympic dressage team member and world renowned instructor – trainer – rider.
