KCDS University Program Finishing
First Year, Gearing Up for 2015
By Janet Blauvelt
As the leaves change color and the
temps drop and the horses get frisky,
the premier year for the KCDS University program is drawing to a close,
and it has proved to be a great success. Twenty-three members of
KCDS took the challenge and committed to their Dressage education
this year; that’s more than ten percent of our membership! Many KCDS
members attended the educational
programs offered in connection with
the University, even if they were not
ready to commit to the University
this year.
Many thanks go out to the members who hosted programs and DVD
d is cu ss ion s, in clu din g: Lind a
Landers, Brandi Plummer, Angie
Cumberford, Alexis Losey, Kim Hawkins, Stephanie Abbott, Laurie
Virkstis, Martha Nowak, and Linda
McCormick. Kathy Childs and Deb
Davenport conducted a training ses-
sion on scribing. Deb Johnson gave us
a Pilates Mat Class. Julie McCrady
and Linda Landers donated their facilities for “Ride a Test” events, and
Miki Christopherson and Linda
Landers donated their time to judge
and critique the tests. A bunch of us
hung out on the Plaza last spring to
eat, (drink a little) and discuss The
USDF Guide to Dressage. We had a
great time and learned a lot!
It’s not too late to catch one of
the programs scheduled for this fall.
The Pilates class filled up, but if you
c on t a c t D eb via e ma il a t
([email protected]), she is
willing to run another class. DVD
discussions will be held on October
19 and November 8 and 16, (and maybe more) so check out the KCDS
website and the calendar in this issue
for contact information on those programs. We eat well and have fun!
The great thing is that we are
already gearing up for the 2015
“school” year, so watch for the announcement that enrollment time has
arrived. We are looking at modifying
the various levels slightly to create a
path for those members who are avid
about improving their knowledge
and riding and training skills, but
may not be in a position to participate in showing. Right now it looks
like the levels will remain the same,
but a participant may elect a “non(Con nued on page 3)

showing” option. She will then be
asked to complete some other task
(or two) to substitute for the shows.
Suggested tasks are still being developed, but may include things like:
Master a new training skill, e.g.
groundwork, scribing, some horse
care skill; participate in a clinic rather than just audit one; serve additional volunteer hours at a show;
write an article for the Extension; or
act as the “eyes on the ground” for a
fellow rider on a regular basis. Send
any other suggestions you may have
to [email protected].
We have chosen the book for
next year, so you can get a head start
on the reading. It will be Betsy Steiner’s A Gymnastic Riding Program. We’ll
be meeting at the Grand Street Café
at 5:30 on the third Monday of January, February and March to digest
this tome and imbibe (if we choose)
and just talk horses. Hope you will
join us, even if you are not interested
in the University commitment as a
whole.
One of the primary missions of
the Kansas City Dressage Society is
to provide education to our members
and the general public. The University is an excellent method for fulfilling this mission, but more than
that, it is a place where we all can
meet others who are as passionate
about our sport as we are and where
we can continue to grow in our
knowledge and connections. Don’t
miss this opportunity in 2015!
KCDS University Fall Schedule
All programs are open to all KCDS members, regardless of whether enrolled in the KCDS University.

KCDS Board
Approves New
Membership
Benefit
After considering information from a
variety of sources, the KCDS Board
approved AFLAC as the carrier to
provide supplemental insurance to
members who chose to sign up for
supplemental insurance coverage. As
a member of KCDS the monthly premium you pay will be at a lower rate.
The designated agent for this coverage is Paul Carrigan, 15829 Indian
Creek Parkway, Olathe, KS and his
number is 913-837-0434. You may
also contact him via email at
[email protected]. Obviously, whether to sign up for this insurance will be an individual choice
based on your needs and budget, and
each member will be responsible for
the premiums for the insurance. But,
the advantage to KCDS members is
that the premium would be significantly reduced as the result of being a
member of a covered group. The ultimate goal is that following an accident your worries about expenses
related to any injuries you sustained
will be eased and you can instead
focus on getting healthy again.
Why sign up for supplemental
insurance? What we learned is that
this type of supplemental insurance
can help pay for things your health
insurance plan may not fully cover.
Coverage begins immediately and is
paid directly to the person who is
insured. Not only does it offer coverage for the visit to the ER and procedures done at that time, but it pays
benefits for hospitalization, followup treatments like physical therapy,
transportation costs, etc. Mind you
this is not a replacement for primary
health insurance but it can work in
combination with existing insurance
to help fill the gaps to help a person
deal with the extra costs associated
with injuries arising out an accident.
Further, although we as horse people
are very aware of the risk of accidents
associated with working around
horses, this type of insurance would
provide coverage for any accident. So
if you break a leg as a result of an au-
tomobile accident, or you slip on the
ice and tear the rotator cuff in your
shoulder, you could benefit from this
insurance.
See the AFLAC ad in this issue
for more information or call Paul Carrigan for more information to determine if this kind of coverage is something you should consider.

Amateurs Like Us: Amy Stuhr
Paterson Has Found Perspective
By: Kimberly Loushin
Undergoing breast cancer treatment
forced Amy Stuhr Paterson to reevaluate her priorities; now she’s
learned to take a step back to enjoy
riding her mare Wies V/D Klumpert
and spending time with her husband
Doug. Photo courtesy of Amy Stuhr
Paterson
Amy Stuhr Paterson has always
been a self-described workaholic. She
brings her laptop to horse shows and
works on a mortgage agreement right
up until it’s time for her to get tacked
up. Her longtime clients know that if
they hear horses in the background,
she’s probably at a show.
“The last time I turned in my laptop to our IT department, I was trying to get all the hay out of the keys,”
she joked. “I was afraid they were
going to be like ‘What? Where did
you have this?’ ”
As a mortgage loan officer with
the National Bank of Kansas City
who works solely on commission, she
can’t afford to take too much time
away. Her workday fluctuates with
the housing market and interest
rates, so once her day starts she
doesn’t know when she might go
home. She specializes in Veteran Affairs mortgages, so her clients are located across the United States and
throughout the world.
“Once I get [to work], I have to
be committed and ready,” she said.
“In commission sales, you’ve got to
make hay while the sun shines so if
the phone is ringing, I have to make
sure I’m here.”
To ensure she gets to ride her
mare Wies V/D Klumpert, Paterson
is up at 5:45 a.m. daily and makes the
short drive to her parents’ nearby
farm, where she keeps the Hanoverian mare (Future—Sarina V D Klumpert, Havidoff). Afterward, she has
time to take a quick shower, throw
her wet hair into a bun and get started on the day at the office.

Amy Stuhr Paterson to re-evaluate her priorities; now she’s learned to take a step back to

While her schedule works out
well in the sweltering summer
months, the frigid winter morning
temperatures often limit how much
she gets to ride. She considers herself
lucky to have an indoor at her parents’ farm, but even that doesn’t
guarantee a morning ride.
“Those mornings get cold, cold,
cold in the wintertime,” said Paterson. “I love it when the days are long,
and I don’t care that it’s hot because
it’s always rideable at 6 o’clock in the
morning.”
The Car That Started It All
Paterson can’t remember a time when
she didn’t love horses. “My mom likes
to tell the stories of the late ‘60s
when they had a [Ford] Mustang and
I loved that car,” Paterson recalled. “I
cried when they sold it and my mom
was like ‘Why are you so upset that
we are selling this car?’ And I said,
‘Because it has a horse on the door!’ ”
Once her grandmother signed her
up for lessons at age 9, there was no
going back. Every Wednesday she’d
sit in class staring out the window
hoping that the weather would stay
pleasant enough for her weekly lesson.
Like many teenagers who participated in the U.S. Pony Club, Paterson
found her way to eventing, though it
was soon clear that it would never be
her calling.
“I’d win the dressage and then on
cross-country I would either get lost
or have a million refusals,” she joked,
“then I would see how many fences I
could knock down in stadium.
“The first rally I went to, my
mom was at a fence with her camera
to take a picture of me and I came
through the bushes behind her because I was lost,” she continued.
“That was pretty typical for me and
jumping.”
A detail-oriented person, Paterson was drawn to the systematic
training system of dressage. She
thrived in focusing on the pieces of a
test and finding how minute changes
to her ride would positively affect the
horse.
“Running and jumping sounded
like a lot of fun in theory, but I would
really like to get back to my little arena with a fence around it,” she said. “I
actually enjoyed it and the puzzle of
trying to figure out what works for a
horse and what makes its balance
better.”
Alongside her trainer Melissa
Allen, Paterson has worked through
the challenges of bringing up her
mare from third level to Intermediaire. The pair has attended the
Great American Insurance Group/
USDF Region 4 Dressage Championships and won their respective divisions every year they’ve entered.

Klumpert, at the FEI levels of dressage keeps Amy Stuhr Paterson getting out of bed in the wee hours every
day. Photo by Jesse Franks
“[‘Wie’] can be a bit of a hot tamale, but she’s very talented. It’s been
a really exciting journey for me,” said
Paterson, 47. “We are now entering
into unchartered territory. I’ve never
competed above Intermediaire I before this year, so getting in the ring
and doing one-tempi changes and
piaffe, passage has been a big learning
curve for someone who has done this
sport for a long time.
“I thought I knew how to do this
sport and now it’s like ‘whoa, nope, I
don’t know anything!’ ” she continued. “It was really frustrating for a
while but now it’s starting to click
and make sense. It’s pretty cool to
teach this old dog some new tricks.
Gaining Perspective
While she’s always been happy with
her full-speed-ahead lifestyle her perspective changed when she was diag-
11
nosed with breast cancer last year.
Even when doctors warned her that
radiation treatments would tire her
out, she refused to let the cancer define her schedule.
She took a day off of work to
have a lumpectomy performed and
was back at work the following day.
A week later she was back in the saddle. Throughout her radiation treatments, she’d mark down a horse
show every month and book her hotel, but when it came close to the
date she’d have to back off.
“I’d school and be like ‘Gosh,
darn it! I can’t sit the trot. I’ve been
riding since I was 9 and I can’t sit the
trot! What is going on?’ she said. “It
was very frustrating to me. Finally I
was like ‘Stop picking horse shows
and just ride. You’ll know when
you’re ready.’ ”
She finally made it back in the
show ring in October, but nearly a
year away from the ring meant she
would miss the Greater American
Insurance Group/USDF Region 4
Dressage Championship, something
that she hated to skip.
“That was the hardest part, acknowledging that I may not be superwoman for a while and it’s OK,”
she said.
“[Cancer] made me realize and
look at my priorities and make sure
that I remember that the good part of
the day isn’t the working part of the
day; it’s everything else that work
makes possible for me,” she said.
“That was a bit of a gut check to remember what’s really important in
life.”
With the intricacies of mortgages, Paterson was determined to be
there for her customers every step of
the way. “I always want to let them
know that I’m not going to let it fall
apart in underwriting. Every day it’s
like whack-a-mole trying to put out
fires between lenders and underwriters.”
Since her breast cancer treatment, she’s been working on delegating to others so that she can take
time to enjoy her horse shows or take
time off to be with her husband of
two years, Doug.
The couple met when she was
arranging a mortgage agreement for
him while he was stationed at the
Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue,
Neb., and she was living in Lee’s
Summit, Mo.
Since Doug was a pilot, they
made a deal that if he flew out to give
her a ride in his plane, she’d let him
ride one of her horses. But it didn’t
happen quite as planned. He held up
his end of the deal, but she later realized she didn’t have anything suitable for him to ride. To this day, that
detail remains a bone of contention.
“He always tells people, ‘Oh yeah,
she’s ridden in by plane, but I still
haven’t ridden any of the horses,’ ”
Amy said. “He loves to give me a hard
time about that.”
Though he doesn’t ride, Doug
quickly stepped in to be Amy’s biggest supporter alongside her parents
Bob and Angela Stuhr. He attends
every horse show he can with his
grooming bucket and video camera
on hand.
“[Doug is] super supportive; he’ll
do everything possible to be there,
which I think is awesome,” she said.

The Thoughtful Rider
Positive Training: Creating the spark and
enthusiasm from within your horse
By Hector Carmona Jr.
Courtesy Dorie Vlatten-Schmitz
Many times in retraining a horse ultimately it is the ingredient of enthusiasm that is missing and the only way
to attain it is with forward riding.
Get away from the exercises you are
performing and get back to them
once you have attained the spark.
Then the exercises will have the true
purpose of development.
During the stage of forward riding reduce the length of the ride to
roughly the 15-20 minutes with the
goal being a little cluck cluck from
the voice and to have all the eagerness that is available. In order to do
this first we must get the balance so
he is not on the forehand. It is not
hard to do. The neck needs to be with
the poll as the highest point. You
need to feel his center of gravity be-
come located more under you and
more to the quarters. For this to be
successful both the rider and the
horse must be awake. Horses will
respond; they are good souls. This
attitude should be there from the onset; otherwise we only warm-up inefficiently without preparing the horse
for the possibilities. And so between
you and your horse it is building the
fire.
Energy: without it what is there?
The goal needs to be finding where
the edge is and going beyond it. Once
you know where the edge is then all
you need to do is back off a little bit.
The horse’s mind will guide you. All
this needs to be done in short bursts
and not sustained ones. Think and
act as if you are training him for the
thoroughbred races and put dressage
on the backburner. Excitement from
you and him is the task at hand.
Work 15-20 minutes with the
breaks included with no segment
lasting more than 5 minutes more or
less. Praise him plenty as he begins to
awaken up and takes the bit from his
quarters. This is done with light seat
positioning from the rider and positively no sitting trot. But remember
this will not work if he is on the forehand so you must change his center
of gravity first before going only more
forward.
When the spark and enthusiasm
is within the horse and you can feel it
even before mounting then it’s time
for the next phase of education in
positive training. Your horse will be
grateful and happy for the joy you are
presenting him. Without joy there is
no real dressage and there never will
be true beauty.

Over Anxious and Nervous Horses Develop
Confidence through Compassionate Riding
By Hector Carmona Jr.
Courtesy Dorie Vlatten-Schmitz
This is the second part of of the previous
article
In last month’s article we used positive training to create the spark and
enthusiasm from within the sometimes unenthusiastic or sluggish
horse. With positive training in mind
let’s focus on the overly anxious or
nervous horse. While a short article
does not allow me to get into the detail as deeply as I would like, I can
give an overview.
The nervous or anxious horse is
lacking from confidence from a myriad of reasons and comes in all forms.
It is the rider’s responsibility to give
this horse confidence. This confidence comes from the rider in a compassionate manner. The rider needs
to be able to dissect and understand
the origins of such behavior. With
some horses it may be innate within
their character and something that
needs to be dealt with on a daily basis. I do not believe the Natural
Horsemanship's answer is the final
answer for these types of horses although some of the techniques may be
helpful.
First and foremost punishment is
not the answer, and will only make
the horse more nervous to the point
of being fearful. One must remain
calm and not in a hurry. This will
create trust, understanding of your
care for him, and would not force
your horse into questionable situation. These type of horses will and
can walk through fire for you, because they know of your love for
them, and that becomes more important than their own Life. Think
about the horse and its history, and
what we have put them through, and
you will get the proper perspective.
The rider’s aids are the way of
communication as we all know. With
the nervous horse, the beauty is that,
ultimately the dialogue needs only to
be at a whisper. But to get to that
point first there needs to be the thorough understanding that your aids
are never for punishment.
With this horse I do what I call a
period of Indian riding, when they
are ready for it. That means my legs,
arms and body encompass all of the
horses body in all dressage exercises,
and they realize there is nothing to
fear. With each of horse, the sluggish
horse and the nervous horse, we need
to develop the positive characteristics of both into each type of horse.
The beauty then lies in the middle
ground.

disposition which would make her quite
suitable for an AA rider. Francesca has 3 very
rhythmic and ground covering gaits with a
good swing in her back which will make her
easy to sit. Francesca is ready to continue her
training in Dressage, but I can also see her in
