Last year, Melissa Cruzan attended the Western Dressage World Championship Show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as a rookie. The hope of the 14-year-old North Port resident was appropriately modest. Return home with a ribbon. Melissa accomplished that, and a whole lot more. Riding her horse Hug Me Hotrod in the intro and basic divisions earned Melissa two junior class (14-18) world titles. She was the overall points champion and finished the top scoring Florida rider.

Why I Chose Western Dressage by Silja Knoll We all know that Dressage training is good for EVERY horse, every breed, and for just about every age of equine. I wanted my Norwegian Fjord mare to also benefit from this training. As she got older and developed Cushings in her mid teens, I was shocked to see her muscle tone deteriorate, especially her top line. Some noticeable arthritic changes in her fetlocks made me feel that her competitive trail seasons might be behind her. I decided she didn’t need to pound the (beautiful!) hard, rocky trails for 20 miles at a time anymore. It was time to reevaluate our next...

Recording my videos for the WDAI Battle of the Saddles (BOSS) show seemed so easy. “Team Blondie” (me, my husband, and Heidi Lemack) had the indoor arena set up for the small ring with just the right amount of lighting to do WDAA Intro Tests 3 and 4. The tripod that held my iPhone in horizontal mode was parked at C to catch every movement, including the equipment and bit check after each test. The tests were recorded, submitted, judged, and placed. Blondie and I surprisingly did quite well placing third and second respectively despite a few flaws in the tests. Easy. I expected the same when recording my tests...

How a pandemic brought me to Western Dressage It’s been said that life is stranger than fiction. I doubt anyone other than a big screen film writer could ever have dreamed up the insanity that our world has experienced due to the outbreak of COVID-19. I lost my grandfather to this horrible virus. Life as my family knew it came to a screeching halt. However, the one thing that has always kept me sane, my horses, were still there each day. They still needed care and training and what many see as a chores became the one thing keeping me grounded. Its been said that necessity is the mother of...

The Wisconsin affiliate (WDAWI) had its first ever virtual show the first week of June and was proud to offer the new Exceptional Rider tests. We were fortunate enough to get some very enthusiastic entries for these new tests. It was a bit of a learning curve as we figured out how to best serve these riders and their assistants. Each riders’ needs were unique, and they needed different adaptations to complete a virtual test. Exceptional rider coaches, Jennifer Bull, Kari Wegenke, and Samantha Essers, were excited to have these new tests as another way to let their riders shine. “It is very hard to find shows for our exceptional...
