Dressage News March/April

AHAEC Dressage March/April’06

Welcome to the AHAEC Dressage Page. This is a brand new feature to the AHAEC newsletter, designed especially for our members who compete and have an interest in competing in the Dressage competitions with their horses, handy tips and information.
Dressage and Sport Horse are two of the fastest growing facets of the Arabian circuit! It’s hard to believe that we are now outgrowing facilities Nationally, and had 88 Entries in the Training Level ATR class at Sport Horse Nationals last year in Virginia. A record 13 horses competed at Prix St. George. Dressage is here to stay!
I am your newest director to the AHAEC board, Elaine Ward. I’ve been competing with Half-Arabians in dressage since 1992, and have been involved in dressage since 1974. I’ve been long listed for the 1988 Olympics, and have shown in Grand Prix Dressage Competitions. I now exclusively work with Arabians and Half-Arabians in Dressage, and have trained and shown them to Prix St. George.

Did you know that you could qualify for Regionals, and Nationals in Primary dressage competitions? As long as it is judged by an EC Sanctioned Official, your scores will also qualify for Achievement Awards. Just make sure you are enrolled in the dressage qualifying programs with AHA.

Two Dressage competitions will be Milestone on May 6th with Don Barnes, and July 1st . Please come out and support these dressage competitions. Alan and Cheryl Ehrlick do an amazing job of putting these shows on for us! All levels are offered, and even the USDF Walk/Trot tests are offered, that are great for our new riders and horses that want to gain some experience! Entries are expected from as far away as Illinois and AHAEC members from as far away as Leamington. Horses will be competing up to Prix St. George. Don Barnes is judging the Region 18 Dresage Championships this year.
Congrats to all Arabian and Half Arabian riders and horses for their great show results in Open Trillium Dressage Standings for Ontario 2005.

The Region 18 Dressage and Sport Horse Championships are to be held again in London. Because of the overwhelming entries last year, Dressage and Sport Horse classes will not be held on the same day. Last Chance Sport Horse and Dressage Classes will be held on Wednesday July 26th, the Dressage Championships on Thursday July 27th , and Sport Horse on Friday July 28th , and the Hunter/Jumper on July 29th .
Did you know that a Half-Arab competed for the United States Dressage Team at the 2004 Olympics??? FBW Kennedy ridden by Robert Dover. Kennedy’s dam is a purebred!

Look on the AHAEC Site in the next couple of weeks for a complete listing of dressage shows in Ontario.
