3 President s PERSPECTIVE By Molly Fine The month of October is a busy one for. The club is getting ready for elections, organizing the annual awards banquet, tabulating year end awards, preparing for the upcoming Kristie Wysocki Clinic, and looking forward to the start of our new calendar year (beginning December 1). In October, you will be getting an electronic ballot to cast your vote for board members. The ballot will come as a survey with voting instructions at the top. The survey will go to members only, and I encourage you to vote when you get it. The board members who are running have submitted bios which appear in this month s Scribe. Please take a few minutes to read the bios, and be sure to vote when you receive the ballot. If you are submitting forms for this year s end of year rankings, they are due on October 31 and need to be submitted along with your Volunteer Hours Report form, or your $50 donation to in lieu of the required volunteer hours. All end of year report forms are included in this month s Scribe, and can also be found at idcta.org/awards/year-end-awards/. Plans for the awards banquet are firming up, and we are looking forward to a wonderful evening of socializing, dining and honoring those who have qualified for year end awards. It will be held on January 21, 2017, so please mark your calendars. Invitations will go out electronically in November, and will be followed by the traditional, mailed invitation. We will provide a link to sign up and pay electronically, both on the website and in the November Scribe. You will also receive a request for Raffle items in November. The proceeds of the raffle cover our banquet expenses and educational programs, so please consider donating goods and/or services. We will also be seeking photos to include in a slide show during the banquet, so start gathering your show pictures! The Kristi Wysocki Clinic will be held on November 18-20, 2016 at Sunflower Farms. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about selecting your next Dressage horse. Kristi will present a lecture on Friday night, followed by riding on Saturday and Sunday. Kristi presented this clinic at the USDF Dressage Convention this year to a standing-room-only crowd, and was so well-received that it lasted much longer than its scheduled time. Her skill in presenting this rather complicated subject helps demystify the process. I was lucky enough to attend the lecture and I recommend it to everyone. Mark your calendars for this awesome event! In 2017, we are already planning many clinics and activities. Lilo Fore will be visiting us again for another clinic, and we are working to get George Williams back, as well. Olympian Debbie McDonald will coming to in the fall, and we are working on a couple of other clinicians, too. The eventing committee is planning many new activities, and possibly an event. It appears the coming year will be rich with riding opportunities and educational possibilities. These activities don t happen by themselves; p lease remember we are looking for new Dressage, Eventing and Schooling Show Committees members to help us expand our thinking and planning. Suggestions are always welcome. Until next month, Happy and Safe Riding!

18 Presents a clinic with Kristi Wysocki November 18-20, 2016 Fields & Fences, Wadsworth, IL Clinic format: Friday night lecture: How to buy a dressage horse for under $15,000 Saturday/Sunday rides Rider cost for lecture and 2 rides: $420 for members $470 for non-members Stabling available at $40 per night Auditor cost: members: $15-$20 for lecture; $25-$30/day to watch rides non-members: $20-$25 for lecture; $30-$35/day to watch rides Kristi Wysocki is from Colorado, where she and her husband own and run Somewhere Farms and Eagle s Wing Equine Therapy and Rehab Center. The center is designed to help horses recovering from surgeries and injuries to heal more quickly and successfully. Ms. Wysocki earned her degree in Metallurgical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines and has worked as an engineer for fifteen years prior to returning her focus to riding and training of dressage horses. She has competed several horses to the FEI levels, winning many regional and local championships through Grand Prix level including her USDF Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. She has also successfully competed in the CDI arena with multiple horses. Kristi is a USEF licensed S Dressage Judge, R Dressage Sport Horse Judge and an FEI 3* PARA Dressage Judge. Her students have also competed successfully through the Grand Prix Level. Several students also have their bronze, silver, and/or gold medals. She has judged many USDF Regional Championships and Breeder Series Finals including Dressage at Devon, NEDA, CDS Region 7 Lamplight Region 3 and the new Global Dressage in Florida. She serves as the USDF Sport Horse Committee chair, is a member of the USDF Sport Horse Seminal Faculty, the USEF Dressage Committee, the USEF PARA Equestrian FEI PARA Equestrian FEI and National Affiliates Committee, and has been a member of the United States PARA Dressage Selection Committee. She takes a unique perspective when teaching, using both her engineering background and sport horse expertise to help her students understand the horse bio-mechanically. This can often simplify the concept for the rider and make it easier for them to understand and attempt the task at hand. She tries to help her students understand what is happening bio-mechanically so they in turn can communicate with the horse with more logical, clarified aids.
