Parker, CO-June 2, 2013-High Prairie Dressage III at the Colorado Horse Park held a series of Markel/USEF Young Horse Qualifying classes Sunday, part of a program using special dressage tests for 4-, 5-, and 6-year-old horses to help scout out potential outstanding talent for future careers at the FEI level or participation in U.S. High Performance Teams. A key component of the classes is personalized feedback from the judges. Immediately after the test, the judges discuss the test with the rider to help with training goals. Ann Buchanan rode Sky Hit to win the Markel/USEF 4-Year-Old Qualifier. “He was really good,” she said. “There’s a lot going on in there and he really kept it together.” She said the judges liked his walk and thought he was very submissive, especially with all the activity at the show. She added that she specifically purchased the horse in order to participate in the Young Horse Qualifier and appreciated the feedback from the judges to help her continue her horse’s training. “I’m learning a lot,” she said.

Petra Warlimont and Lorenzo in the Markel USEF/ Young Horse 5-Year-Old QualifierPetra Warlimont rode Laurenzo for a first place finish and Diva MCF for the second-place spot in the Markel/USEF Young Horse 5-Year-Old Qualifier. She said Laurenzo was tired after two days of showing. “In the walk we wandered all over the place, but he’s super and this was his first horse show.” Warlimont said the judges scored the horse favorably. “The general impression was an 8.2, so he’s in the Top 15,” she said. “With this stuff going on, I could feel him getting pretty tense in there, but he kept it together.” Laurenzo’s breeder, Cindy Feirn, said she breeds Holsteiners on Colorado’s Western Slope and added she has another 4-year-old that will soon be trying to qualify in the Markel/USEF program. Warlimont laughed, “I told her to make 10 more of those. He’s super!” Warlimont also enjoyed her ride on Diva MCF and said the mare just keeps surprising her by getting better and better but is not quite ready for the big time. “She can’t really hold the collection in the trot but otherwise I’m really happy with where she is,” Warlimont explained.

Petra Warlimont and Diva MCG take second place in the Markel USEF/ Young Horse 5-Year-Old Qualifier She added that, although the judges really liked the mare’s canter, they thought her rhythm in the collected trot was inconsistent. “I’m happy with the score,” she said. “I didn’t even think she would be able to handle the test and she did really well.” Allen Swafford and Fiderstep HW also participated in the Young Horse 5-Year-Old Qualifier and came away with third place. He said he received good feedback from the judges on the horse. “He’s super,” he said. “It’s his first test and his first horse show and we weren’t as expressive as we can be. We were trying to be conservative and just do a nice test and then next time we can go for expression.”

Allen Swafford and Fiderstep HW in the Markel/USEF Young Rider 5-Year-Old Qualifier Swafford agreed with the other competitors that the feedback from the judges helps him plan a roadmap for his horse’s future training. “I love all the encouraging words,” he said. “They tell you all the things you need to work on and go forward with that. It’s very good.” Today concluded a weekend of exciting dressage in a comfortably friendly atmosphere at an unparalleled facility, the Colorado Horse Park. High Prairie Dressage I, II and IIl offered a full range of classes for every level of competitor in a picturesque setting overlooking the Rocky Mountains. For more information, log onto www.coloradohorsepark.com.

Parker, CO – June 1, 2013 - Shannon Dahmer rocked it with Rock On in the FEI Freestyle Test of Choice to score a 68.000% in today’s High Prairie Dressage II at the Colorado Horse Park. The pair could swing “Dancing With the Stars” with their Grand Prix Freestyle featuring double pirouettes and spot-on one-tempis to “Eye of the Tiger” and other music from the iconic movie, “Rocky.”Dahmer said the freestyle score was chosen because Rock On’s barn name is Rocky, but more germane to the Rocky theme woven throughout today’s winning freestyle is the 16-year-old Oldenburg’s history as a fighter who beat the odds to triumph in the dressage arena.

In 2009, Rocky nearly died from founder. Dahmer and Rocky’s owner, Mary Allyn, were the ones who brought the gelding back to health to help him claim his heavyweight crown. “Isn’t that amazing that he’s doing the Grand Prix?,” Allyn asked. “It was a labor of love and he’s such a special horse. It’s amazing to get a horse to Grand Prix anyway and especially one who foundered. He’s special.”

Dahmer agreed. “This is his second year doing Grand Prix and this is kind of a big deal.” The pair placed fifth with a 65.875% in the Grand Prix Freestyle in the CDI3* in San Juan Capistrano, CA, in March and, just last week, they competed in the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Special in Del Mar, CA.

“Shannon has obviously done an amazing job,” Allyn said of Rocky’s rider. “She’s the one who brought him to Grand Prix.”

Dahmer is one proud trainer whose fondness for the knock-out horse is obvious. “He’s rideable now,” she beamed.

Another horse and rider pair who rocked the freestyle were Jane Ann Lake and Tecolate who scored a 63.333% in the USDF Freestyle Test of Choice at second level.

“I was happy with him but he was a little tense,” Lake said. “This was his first class of the show season and it’s kind of cold and it’s kind of windy, so he just got a little amped-up.”She continued, “You do your best and that’s all you can ask for. So, hopefully, by this afternoon for his second class, he’ll be much calmer.” The pair earned a 63.05% in the Second Level Test 3 – Masters’ class later in the day.

Another exciting series of classes at High Prairie Dressage include the $750.00-plus add back Rising Star Challenge offered for 4-,5-, and 6-year old horses.  Frederick Magazzeni Rode two horses in the Rising Star Training Level Test 2 class, Rheiny Day Woman and Razz Ma Tazz, Shannon Dahmer and The King of Rock N’Roll took the blue with a 69.643% while Magazzeni scored a 68.036% with Rheiney Day Woman to secure second place and a 65.179% with Razz Ma Tazz to take the third slot in the class.

Magazzeni said Rheiney Day Woman, a 4-year-old mare, competed in only the second test of her career in the class. “She’s been wonderful and very quiet,” he said. “She seems to have just been born with an understanding that she’s here to be a show horse.”

Dressage Canada has announced an exciting new program designed to encourage participation and provide a fun, non-competitive, stress free environment to experience Dressage and to support the development of Canadian athletes and certified coaches across Canada.

Give it a Go Days are defined as non-competitive education development clinics for riders and certified coaches of all ages and skill levels. Participants register for the clinic directly with their club and ride a Dressage Canada test of their choice with a judge providing feedback on how to improve their performance in the ring. Riders will then have an opportunity to work with their personal coach to improve their performance based on the feedback received from the judge and another opportunity to ride the same test again to measure improvement. No prizes, placing or scores will be ranked during Give it a Go Days.

The Atlantic Provinces, Manitoba and the Yukon, will be the first areas to run the pilot program from June – November 1st 2013. During this inaugural phase Dressage Canada and the PTSO’s will test the interest in the program, the process and will work to streamline the reporting requirements. It will be run under the direction of the DC Development Committee. Once the pilot is successfully implemented in these regions the opportunity will be extended to the remainder of the PTSO’s.

World Class Dressage Programme Manager, Richard Waygood commented;

“We’re all very excited to be going to Rotterdam; it gives an extra dynamic to the competition with Aachen and Rotterdam being back to back. It is exciting for British dressage that we have top class horses and are able to field two teams [at Rotterdam and Aachen], which will give more people the chance to compete at this level and brings with it a wonderful opportunity for them to gain experience at a 5* competition within a team environment”.
