D ear Noda Members,
I want to use my newsletter space this month to thank our many hard working volunteers for all they do. NODA volunteers consist not only of the Executive Board and our committee chairs and members, but also everyone who volunteers at our shows and educational events. Our volunteers are our unsung heroes, and the backbone of our organization. They organize and support our educational programs, website, newsletter, membership, finances, schooling and recognized shows, awards program, banquet, fund raising, and of course, recruit and schedule volunteers for events. We have entered a new age. For quite a few years now, our volunteers have felt the pull of many stresses on their available time. Deciding how to divide up that available time is difficult. Even with these time stresses, many of you have stepped up to offer assistance to NODA. Many of you give above and
beyond what is required for your designated jobs or committees. We are so grateful for your help. While we need volunteers who can offer a good amount of time, we also need and want volunteers who may only be able to give us a little time. Eight hours multiplied by 10 individuals gives us 80 volunteer hours, so every little bit helps. There would never be enough ways to say thank you to all the volunteers who give a little or a lot. Most are not looking for thanks, but you help because help is needed and because you care about our sport, our organization, and its mission. "THANK YOU" everyone for your support of NODA, in the past, present, and future. Volunteers are a precious and valuable commodity. We need each and every one of you to ensure that NODA exists into the future. Dee Liebenthal, President
Dee Liebenthal and Rens

A n ambitious group of eight earnest students (Participating
Instructors – PI’s) just completed the second Workshop in the triad of USDF Instructor/Trainer Programs hosted by NODA and held at Topline Stables at Walden in Aurora, OH. Workshop #1 was a comprehensive and challenging lungeing weekend. This second session was focused on riding and so much more! The third USDF Instructor/Trainer Certification Workshop is to be held in October, 2013 at Lake Erie College and will focus on Teaching.
The Riding Workshop was aptly led by USDF Certified Instructor and faculty member Bailey Cook from Carrboro, NC. Bailey is a USDF Silver medalist and Training through 4th level Certified Instructor. She began our weekend with a lecture and overview of the weekend expectations. Hopefully everyone completed the pre-session reading and e-Trak coursework to prepare for the required oral questions and discussion to demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge and ability to explain complex dressage theory. Do you know the difference between absolute vs. relative elevation in a horse? Or, perhaps you use the terms rhythm and tempo interchangeably! (Rhythm is the sequencing of the footfalls and tempo is the rate of repetition of the rhythm.) This is just a hint of the proficiency and exactness required to prepare for the ultimate USDF Certification process!
Bailey told us this “grass roots” educational opportunity appeals to three types of people. The first are those professionals who are eager to take the examination and become certified in Training through First Level, Second Level or Third and 4th Level. (USDF is currently creating an FEI Certification program.) The second group are young individuals hoping to build a professional training business and wishing to build their credentials. The third group are those Adult Amateurs who wish to expand their classical knowledge and riding and use this forum as an “uber” learning experience. Our workshop group was a mixture of the above with five Professionals and three Adult
Amateurs. Also in attendance were a dedicated group of Auditors anxious to absorb the information and experiences of this unique and affordable educational experience.
In order to ride and therefore “train” a horse, it is essential to be able to make an accurate assessment of the horse’s current level of training, strengths and weaknesses. Knowing the Pyramid of Training Scale is essential for proper assessment and creation of a training plan. The first riding day we were able to ride a familiar horse of our choosing. Most people rode their own regular
mounts. However, more than just a “ride” was required. There is an initial impression of the horse prior to riding which includes the horse’s history, past training, soundness, fitness, etc. As a trainer, you must also evaluate conformation of top line, balance and symmetry. Even before the first “Warm-Up” riding phase, the trainer must perform a safety check of all the tack. Is the saddle and bit fitted properly? Are the boots or wraps placed correctly? After this safety check, the warm up then includes walk, trot and canter in both directions, using straight and curved lines, school figures and transitions. From this warm-up, one should be able to assess all aspects of the imperative Training Scale.
In the next “Working Phase” the rider must determine major areas needing improvement; identifying problems and causes. Then one must select appropriate exercises for improvement. For example, leg-yielding is a great suppling exercise and leads to two-track lateral work which aids collection. Breaks and rewards for the horse are essential for physical and mental reward and relaxation.
The “Cool Down” phase allows the horse to chew the reins out of the hands to stretch and elongate the topline. Care must be made to maintain balance and connection.
After this riding session, the PI’s were required to articulate to the examiner, PI’s and auditors, what was successful and why and possibly “why not!” What is the long-term training plan for the horse in the future?
Riding and Much More!Riding and Much More!

If this seems daunting, add to it the complexity of riding and evaluating an unfamiliar horse on day #2 and repeating all of the above after an hour lecture and discussion of homework questions. A few sample homework questions include the explanation of the principles of collection or the cause and fix for a four-beat canter.
Over the two days, auditors enjoyed wonderful hospitality and the ability to soak up knowledge from Bailey and each PI’s ride and interaction.
Bailey clearly was friendly, confident in her approach, and insistent upon correctness and exactness. This is the only way to insure that the achievement of Certification is translated into a common approach vernacular for our dressage training in the United States. This USDF program is replete with knowledge and has been created for the proliferation of classical dressage knowledge and the assurance that there is a consistent and proven approach
to training, now and in the future.
At the end of riding day #2 each PI received a formal written evaluation which will also be forwarded to USDF. This will help to validate our own strengths and highlight where each PI should focus for future improvement.
I came into the USDF Certification Program quite by accident (as a fill in for a cancellation) but eagerly signed up for Workshop #2.
Now I am completely excited to prepare for the third and final Workshop #3 - Teaching. Whether you plan to teach or not, each time you sit on a horse you are “teaching” and the ability to verbalize and demonstrate the capabilities is the hallmark of knowledge and skills. You cannot teach what you do not know! It is said, “True riding mastery can only be reached by the person who, for years and years, has each day kept her mind open to new ideas, and even she should always be prepared to admit that there is still more to be learned.”
Please consider auditing the next and final Workshop #3 (October 26 – 27) and obtaining USDF Lungeing, Training, and Teaching Manuals to further your own knowledge to impact your horses in developmental ways.
Never forget that the object of dressage is the harmonious development of the physique and ability of the horse.
Happy harmony!

USDF Faculty Member Bailey Cook (left) comments Barb Soukup acts as the workshop scribe. These insights
are used for the final evaluation.
On behalf of my co-chair and myself, I would like to thank USDF Certified Instructor and Faculty member Bailey Cook for her instruction, guidance and advice during the NODA sponsored USDF Instructor/Trainer Workshop #2-Riding, which was held the first weekend of August. Bailey provided insights into the certification testing process, homework questions, and put PI’s on the spot to vocalize their training plan and reasons behind them.
Thank you to our Participating Instructors: Mary Armstrong, Christina Cardenas, Meghan Kelley, Janeen Langowski-Grava, Anne McClintock, Julie McElhaney, Regina Sacha-Ujczo and Carly Trimble. Christina and her groom, Lauren, traveled from Kentucky as a last minute replacement. Thank you Christina! The expectations and complexities of the certification process become more clear to all of us as we progress thru each workshop. As riders/trainers who rely on intuition and feel, the PI’s were put in the hot seat and asked to verbalize their feelings and training plan. Kudos to them for putting themselves out there, in front of auditors and peers, as “pioneers” of the certification program in our community.
Special thanks to Janeen who was the hostess at her training facility, Topline Stables at Walden, as well as a PI. We appreciate the use of her beautiful facility and the extra work she did each day to accommodate us.
Continuing appreciation and gratitude to Barb Soukup who has been our scribe for the workshop series. Her integrity as well as judge’s perspective have been an asset to our program.
Thank you to our Volunteers: Kathy Kirchner, Patti Valencic, Lauren Hunter and Dee Liebenthal. They were on hand throughout the weekend for any help that was needed.
The Instructor/Trainer Workshops are beneficial to all riders, giving us tools to become “thinking” riders and trainers. I would encourage everyone from professional to junior to attend the next workshop, “Training”, to be held at the Lake Erie College, George M. Humphrey Equestrian Learning Center on October 26 and 27. You can register using the form on page 17 of this issue.
Thank you!

Call to Order: Dee Liebenthal, president, called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
Minutes from June Board Meeting: Patti Valencic Amended minutes with a few minor word changes were accepted. (newsletter minutes reflected changes.)
Treasurer's Report: Jennifer Kick No report at this time.
Membership & Handbook: Fran Cverna
Members: Total of 316 members: 213 AA, 62 Professionals, 41 Youth. (83 are new) 73 members from last year have not yet renewed.
Handbook: Fran is mailing to members as they join. Suggests that next year we only mail to those who have joined by April or May 1. It will be stated on membership form.
Fran received letter from Shannon O’Hara requesting status change from Professional to Adult Amateur on her NODA membership, as she is no longer paid to ride horses (as she was last year). Patti Valencic moved to allow Shannon O’Hara to change status to AA. Kathy seconded, vote taken, motion approved.
Newsletter: Elizabeth Bross & Mosie Welch
Mosie looked into cost of going with different printers, but found it to not be as cost effective as what we have now.
June newsletter: 71 % costs covered from advertising revenue.
July newsletter: 68% costs covered from advertising revenues
Lots of positive feedback on hard copies.
Discussed distributing money from sponsors a little differently, so some of the monies can go into newsletter costs.
Website and newsletter needs to spotlight some of the most generous sponsors.
Education: Marcia Doyle & Berni Moauro
Update on Instructor Workshop #2, Applications for Grants – Dressage Foundation awarded NODA $1000 grant for workshop # 3.
Discussion about having pre-registered auditors only. Walk in auditors presented a huge organizational problem in the past in terms of trying to start the program on time, and having enough seating. Schedule is very tight. Instructors are focus
Lectures will be evening prior to rides. Will post lecture times on the website when available.
Need to suggest dates and locations for review and testing.
Board approved Heidi Kohl’s offer to use her facility for a half day the weekend of August 1-3, 2014 Clinic, with Janet Foy. Subject will be “How to Create a Freestyle.” Riders will need to qualify by having 2 scores of 63% or higher in the highest
test of their level at Recognized Shows. NODA will have a selection panel.
Schooling Shows: Kara Maruszak
Board voted to recommend the pinning of Introductory and Training level classes separately. (Junior in NODA is defined as 18 and under). “For the rest of the season, in Novice and Open Introductory and Training levels class, Juniors should be pinned separately from Adults. Classes should be split so that Juniors are separate, even if class size is small”. Board will make recommendation to Schooling Show staff to pin them separately.
Robyn Ambrose shared that July 7 NODA SS at Grand Haven went well. She stated that Jennifer Tulleners and Gail Patton did a great job!
Recognized Show: Niki Sackman, Robyn Ambrose & Mary Lou Gallagher
Robyn Ambrose thanked Niki Sackman for handling the Dressage Foundation class.
Kudos to Robyn Ambrose who wrote to US Airways asking them to honor NODA’s unused ticket from Carter Bass’s ticket cancellation from Championships last year. They agreed to do so. Some fees still charged.
Betsy Juliano to support Competitor’s Social. Thank you Betsy!
Kudo’s to Mary Lou Gallagher as she worked through the process of doing the first year of online entries.
Mary Lou recommended that we combine mailing lists with WPDA and Grand Haven. This would be for money saving reasons, as NODA did not make a profit from last year’s show. Will table discussion on this until next year, as well as discussion about online (computer generated Fox Village Program) tabulation for next year so competitors can have access to scores. Could eliminate some tabulator errors as well.
Niki Sackman reported for Mary Armstrong: She has sponsors in place.
