Nuggets of Wisdom from the 2023 USDF FEI Level Trainers' Conference (eurodressage.com)

I think I shared the same sense of excitement with more than 300 attendees for the return of the USDF FEI Level Trainers Conference on 16 - 17 January 2023 after a couple years of hiatus because of Covid.

Here are some of my take aways. I wished I had a bit more practice taking notes and pictures at the same time, but I think I managed to get some good moments on both parts. Here is a “summary” of concepts and ideas shared.

Carl Hester's Wisdom: "Dedicate Yourself to Get Better, Nobody is Perfect"

It´s an honor to be published in Eurodressage with my report (with Astrid's edits) of the Carl Hester Masterclass held at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, the past December 3rd. This was a wonderful experience and being able to share it with my sister Rosina, made it even more special. Carl is SO GOOD! Hope my words give you an idea of what went on as there are no images of the rides: for some reason we missed the media accreditation form and date, so I wasn't allowed to take pictures... Thank you to WEC for hosting and to the organizers and sponsors! And thank you Kim and Sue for a wonderful weekend together!

VITA FLEX VICTORY PASS AWARD





Congratulations are to Carmen Franco who rode Vangens Star-Light to the win in the Grand Prix Special at the Wellington Classic Dressage Classic Tropics I Dressage show hosted at the Global Dressage show grounds. The win earned the pair the Vita Flex Victory Pass Award last weekend. Now riding the Grand Prix Special is no easy task, but Carmen pulled off the lovely ride after a harrowing morning. Earlier that morning, Vangens Star-Light escaped his stall and ran off the show grounds, crossed the road to visit the Tackeria and then headed down nearby South Shore Road and was finally caught at the Fire Station. No one was hurt but Carmen was rightfully shaken, yet none of that showed in their winning performance.
