In New Mexico, Windsong Dressage trainer, Ulla Hudson, has really “gone west” as she was recently certified in Western Dressage training. Sidelines want to say congratulations since we know Ulla won’t want to toot her own “saddle” horn!

And in Wellington, there is a new love in Bethany Peslar’s life! We got a sneak preview of Bethany ’s new superstar horse who arrived from Europe and it’s easy to see why it was love at first sight.  Congrats to the Lionshare Dressage team, especially Endel Ots, for bringing these two together!

A dynamic duo! The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) is pleased to announce that Region 6 Young Rider, Ayden Uhlir and Sjapoer, her 14-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, were awarded this year’s Fiona Baan “Pursuit of Excellence” Memorial Trophy. This trophy is awarded to the young rider who earns the highest combined average score in the three dressage tests; FEI Young Rider Team, Individual and Freestyle. Ayden, 18, of Kirkland, Washington, was the highest scoring competitor in the individual test and the freestyle test at this year’s NAJYRC where they earned an overall combined average of 70.980%. Ayden earned a 69.184% in the Team Test, 71.605% in the Individual Test, and 72.175% in the Freestyle Test.

Congratulations new instructors! The USDF is pleased to announce and congratulate its new USDF Certified Instructors, who took their exams in June at Dancing Horse Farm in Lebanon, Ohio, with examiners Debbie Bowman and Ann Guptill. New USDF Certified Instructor/Trainers at Training through First Level include; Ken Levy of Noblesville, Indiana, Nicole Chastain Price of Solvang, California, Heather Salden of Carver, Minnesota, and Elizabeth Gagliardi of Hobart, Indiana. New USDF Certified Instructors/Trainers at Second Level include Jennifer Truett of Lebanon, Ohio, and Rebecca Cord of  West Grove, Pennsylvania.

What you can read next

Sabre Interagro, a gorgeous gray Lusitano bred by Interagro Lusitanos, is the star of a Brazilian commercial and international campaign for the Princess BarbieTM Doll from Mattel. In the 60 second commercial, Sabre Interagro proves that fairy tales do come true as he recreates the famous scene in which a handsome prince rescues a princess while mounted on a splendid white horse. Sabre Interagro shows off his star power in the Brazilian commercial when he gallops onto the scene carrying the prince who spots three beautiful princesses. Following a scene in which Sabre Interagro rears – complete with fog and the sound of a whinny -- the prince swoops one of the lovely ladies onto the back of Sabre Interagro and they ride off together as the commercial transitions into two young girls playing with their Barbie Dolls. Sabre’s owner, Marantes, of Haras Itapuã South, reported that the producers looked at a variety of breeds before choosing a Lusitano for the commercial. Marantes was thrilled to have his horse appear in the commercial. Sabre Interagro is ridden in a Portuguese saddle and breastplate that Marantes purchased at the International Festival of the Lusitano Horse in Lisbon
