Cruzan repeats as champion
Read the full article here: http://www.heraldtribune.com/sports/20171015/doug-fernandes-cruzan-repeats-as-championNorth Port rider wins world titles in dressage
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.

Whatever your goal is, Mary Lynne Zylstra, board member of the Western Dressage Association of Michigan, said she scribed a lot during our last live season. She was so amazed that riders lost lots of points because they neglected those little things, she called the basics. The basics of test/ring riding. She and I are writing this article to see if we can help. When you first begin to show, you must learn two difficult skills. One is...

By Andrea Caudill The versatility of the American Quarter Horse is certainly a bragging point for the breed – the horse that is willing and able to do whatever task asked of it. While that is quite common, it is rare when performed on the breed’s biggest stage, a place where specialists typically have the advantage. But at the 2020 Farnam AQHA and Adequan® World Championship Shows, Colorado resident Renee Anderson and her mare, Hi Risk, were successful in two wildly different events: The duo placed ninth in the Select barrel racing and, a few days later, were finalists in the brand-new western dressage stakes class. “I want barrel horses...

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...
