Passing: On a very sad note, the dressage world lost Carla Morrison this summer. Carla is best remembered for her morning rides at her Sympatico Farm next to Stillpoint. She called everyone “Sweetie” and passed her 20 karat diamond ring around the table at horse show dinners for all of us to try on. Carla lost her husband Pedro in 2003. Pedro was an avid polo player. Along with her horses, Carla was always seen with her entourage of pampered pups. Provisions are being made for her beloved animals who will miss her as much as we do.

Catching up:  Cesar Parra is hot, hot, hot in Europe.  At his first two shows in Germany he is three for three winning on Michael and Sarah’s Davis’ Grandioso and Dave and Taunia Reed’s Agastrofos.  Cesar will be back to defend his title at Gladstone but for now he is “loving life in Germany”.

Who’s on top?  Why, it’s Adelinde Cornelissen and the 14 year old gelding Jerich Parzival currently ranked No. 1 in  the latest dressage rankings, replacing Edward Gal and Totilas, although their last competition was nine months ago.  Great Britain’s Laura Bechtolsheimer and Mistral Hojris take over second place with Germany’s Ulla Salzgeber and Herzruf’s Erbe in third place.  Edward and the super-stallion Totilas had held the top spot for 19 months from Dec. 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011.  Adelinde, 31, of The Netherlands, had been No. 1 for three months prior to Edward and Totilas taking over.

Steffen Peters and Weltino’s Magic, owned by Jen Hlavacek, had a great time at the CHIO Aachen with strong performances, winning the Preis der VUV-Vereinigte Unternehmerverbände Aachen.  The class was the Prix St. Georges of the small tour, and the 9 year old Westfalen gelding received judges’ scores of 71.053, 73.553, 72.632, 75.000, and 70.658 for a total percentage of 72.579.  USEF Dressage Technical Advisor Anne Gribbons said, “Under Steffen’s expert guidance, Weltino’s Magic made a grand debut inEurope at the small tour.  Hearing our national anthem after the Prix St. Georges, which was the first class of the event, made theU.S. team feel like we are off to a good start!”

Footing woes:  It’s old news by now, but if you hadn’t heard, seven of eight rider and horse combinations withdrew from the Grand Prix at the Pebble Beach CDI3* in a protest by competitors over the quality of the footing.  Prior to the competition, riders said that the sand ring was too deep, uneven and hard in the corners at the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center.  Only Cyndi Jackson on Strauss showed, scoring 61.723 per cent.  The protest was the latest in the chorus of complaints in theU.S. andCanada over the quality of footing at many horse shows in North

So guess what’s happening on the site of the old polo stadium at PBPCC? Dressage rings!  Six of them, actually.  We’re told that by December, everything will be in place to launch a Global Dressage Festival for 2012.  “This is a huge deal,” said Ken Braddick, who runs the Wellington-based website dressage-news.com.  “Top riders are talking about what is happening inWellington.”

Is three really a charm?  Caroline Roffman is hoping it is.  At last year’s Markel/USEF National Young Horse Championship in Lamplight, Illinois, Caroline and her Hanoverian gelding Bon Chance won the Five-Year-Old division.  This year, she’s taking three horses to the National Young Horse Championships and the Developing Horse Championships; San City will compete in the Five-Year-Old division, Bon Chance in the Six-Year-Old division, and her Hanoverian gelding, Pie will enter the Developing Horse Championships.

Dressage rider Holly Johnson took a month long tour to ride with Lipizzans inCalifornia.  AFlorida native, she enjoyed seeingCalifornia from the top of one of the White Stallions!

On the international news front, Dr. Paulo Gonzaga was honored at the 23rd International Lusitano Festival in Lisbon, Portugal for his promotion of the breed in the United States and Latin America.  The festival attracted thousands of people and breeders from all over the world and during the emotional tribute, Arsenio Raposo Cordeiro praised Dr. Gonzaga on his many years of excellent service to the breed.

Here’s the newest and cutest new face at Bethany Peslar’s Everglades Dressage. This little filly is by Rousseau out of Bethany’s mare Waldora, aka “Princess” is practicing her canter pirouettes at less than a week old! Watch for this little spitfire in few years!

    I used to work for Carla before moving up to Ohio. I was wondering about her and found your article. I am floored to hear this news! She was such a generous person that had a great sense of humor and an incredible passion for her animals. I know she will be missed by a great many people, my deepest sympathy goes out to all.

Marie Meyers has been around the world because of Marie Meyers has been around the world because of dressage, but it’s her farm in Moorpark, California, that has captured her heart. The farm and the business that thrives there represent Marie’s lifelong journey—a journey made up of good friends, spectacular horses and relationships made to last.

Marie was raised in Southern California, and spent her childhood playing just about every sport under the sun, but she didn’t discover riding until she was 14 years old. “I loved animals so much, so I started taking lessons. I did jumping at first, but I was very bad at that, for sure!” Marie laughed.

After some time, Marie moved on to take lessons at Foxfield Riding Academy and began riding dressage. “I fell into dressage by accident,” Marie said, “At the beginning, I thought it was extremely boring, but then I got hooked. By the time I graduated from high school, I had plans to travel to England to work for Franz Rochowansky, a former head of the Spanish Riding School.”

In 1988, Marie’s hard work paid off, and the pair was selected as alternates for the 1988 Summer Olympic Games. “They didn’t take the alternates that year, so we didn’t go to Seoul, but the experience, the training and the European Tour afterwards set me up for the 1990 World Equestrian Games in Stockholm, Sweden,” Marie said.

In addition to having success representing her country, Marie was busy with her life—marriage, a business, teaching lessons and clinics.

‼️ROB JACOBS COLUMN‼️ The purpose of this ‼️ROB JACOBS COLUMN‼️

The purpose of this month’s column is to help the young equestrians of our sport develop and maintain healthy friendships within the industry. Cultivating healthy relationships with other members within the industry is not as easy as one may think. As a young equestrian, it may be difficult navigating friendships at the barn and at horse shows. Typically, kids have friendships within the barn they ride at but also friendships with others from different barns in their area. 

Initially, it may seem as though making other friends in the sport would be easy and ideal; after all, there is the common interest of horses. However, because of the natural therapeutic benefits of horses, the sport has a history of attracting all types of people, with a wide range of personalities. This can be both an advantage and a drawback. We are now in an era that acknowledges the growing need to discuss and manage one’s mental health. 

One thing I have learned is that we are likely to notice mental health challenges at an age younger than most people may think. Some of the friendship dynamics I have observed over the years have caused me to pause and really think about the future of our sport. Without looking for a source to blame for the cause of this, i.e. social media, parents, school, teachers, etc., I think if all adults involved worked to encourage, affirm, love, and respect our youth, the likelihood of them developing authentic friendships with their peers may increase.

Both humans and horses were designed to have connected relationships. These relationships allow a greater sense of security when one experiences challenges in life. Cultivating the quality and authenticity of these relationships requires intentional work. 

Thank you Rob for providing your helpful insight on developing healthy relationships. Check out his tips in his column you can find in the link in our bio.
