The theme for our banquet this year is “Spring Forward,” and I don’t know about the rest of you but I am ready for spring weather, riding, and shows. First of all I would like to introduce you to our current KDA board: President Vice-President — Bill Kraatz Treasurer — Glenn Reed Secretary — Joan Gariboldi Membership — Megan Carr I Show Chair — Sheila Woerth Jr/Yr Members — Alexa Azar and Rebekah Mingari Education Chair — Kristi Fly Area Representatives: Bonnie Becht Susan Posner Lauren Doyle Vicki Warren Jeri Methany Dean Jarboe Laura Corsentino I would like to thank all of you for your hard work and dedication and I look forward to working with you in 2015. I also would like to acknowledge Julie Cook, Cindy Smith, Kelly Azar, and Allison Deaton for putting on this lovely banquet and silent auction. 2014 was another busy and successful year for KDA. One accomplishment I am very proud to announce is we reached and exceeded our membership goal of 230 members and ended up with a record number 244. We also had a financially profitable year with our shows thanks to Regionals in October. KDA has been fortunate to host two Regional championships in the past, but we are not guaranteed Regionals in the future. It is all up to the USDF Regional Selection Committee. We have applied for 2016 and hope we are chosen, but KDA must be able to meet our yearly financial obligations with profits from our shows. In reviewing our budget for 2015 it became apparent we needed to rethink holding a CDI3* and CDI* this year because the qualifying dates for the Pan Am games are before our show and sponsorships did not come through, making the CDI too costly. Taking the CDI out of the mix, we looked at ways to improve our May shows. Here are a few of the changes: First, the KDA Spring Warm-Up Show will be Friday and Saturday and the 29th Annual KDA Dressage Show will be on Sunday, making it a three-day show and allowing competitors to ride in two recognized shows over the weekend. We also have restructured our prize money and increased it by $2,000, which includes $500 in pony prize money for the first time. As before, we are rewarding KDA members and offering them the potential to win most of the prize pot. We feel these changes will have a positive affect on entries in May and I suggest if you are planning on showing enter on time so you don’t miss out. In addition to our May shows over Memorial Day Weekend, we will have two schooling shows: the first one will be in August at Masterson Station Park and the second one will be in November at Stone Place Farm in Prospect, Ky. Plus the KDA Fall Classic I & II will be in October at the KHP. According to USDF, many GMOs are not growing, but fortunately we are and in 2014 we broke our own membership record, as I mentioned earlier. To keep KDA growing we must always look and listen to the needs and desires of our current members and potential members or new customers. One idea that came from member Cindy Smith was the need for a breed show in this area. Cindy’s pre-work included obtaining over $3,000 in sponsorships and fueling interest with breeders in our region, resulting in the upcoming KDA Sport Horse Breed Shows August 15-16 at Lakeside Arena. We have been getting a lot of good feedback and support from the breeders in our region and we hope these shows will turn into a yearly event. Another section of the dressage community looking to KDA for support are the ever-growing western dressage riders, so to welcome these riders to KDA we have added western dressage classes to both of our schooling shows and will be adding a western dressage section to our year-end awards ceremony next year. A third dressage community KDA is supporting are those riding ponies. As I mentioned earlier, we added $500 in pony prize money to our May show, and this year all of our recognized shows will be pony partner shows. As our membership grows, we have more shows, more clinics, and with the prospect of holding a show like Regionals in the future our volunteer needs have increased. To thank volunteering members the board developed a new program for you called “KDA Bucks.” These bucks can be earned by volunteering at any KDA event during the year, and you will receive $1 for every two hours volunteered. These bucks can be redeemed for up to $35 toward a stall fee at a KDA show or toward 2016 clinic fees. I feel these new developments make KDA a stronger GMO and will attract new members to our organization, but remember — we are a volunteer organization and it takes all of us to make KDA work. We need are members to stay involved and help us to improve and grow. The yearly operating budget for KDA currently stands at $30,000 and we are anticipating our show profits will exceed this amount for 2015. There are ways you can help KDA earn extra money with no cost and little effort. First is the Southern States proof of purchase labels program: Just cut off all proof of purchase labels from Legends, Triple Crown, or any Southern States feed bag and turn them into KDA to be redeemed. A second way you can earn money for KDA is the new Kroger Community Reward Program. Just link your current Kroger card to KDA and we earn money every time you swipe your Kroger card. I have printed the information sheets for the Kroger program and will pass them out to everyone and ask all of you who shop at Kroger to sign up and help KDA earn some extra money. As you all know KDA has partnered with the KHP and the KHP Foundation to improve the Dressage Complex. Our first renovation project was last May: the updating of the Dressage Pavilion, which was greatly needed. The next step is to raise enough capital to build a new ring and warm-up pad, and things are moving in the right direction. We have gained support from the new leadership at the park, MSEDA is on board, and we are making contacts with potential large sponsors, but all of the donations and support from our members have been fantastic. The board wants to thank Rich and Debbie Banas and the Talley family for their continued financial support in this endeavor by making them honorary KDA members. Thank you and thanks to all those who have helped with this project. We are not finished, but there is more light at the end of the tunnel. Three years ago Bill Kraatz presented the board with an idea of a development grant for KDA junior young riders. This $5,000 grant is to assist a worthy junior member with training, showing, and show-related fees. At this time I would like to acknowledge the junior members who have received the first two grants — Rebekah Mingari and Madison Deaton — and introduce this year’s grant winner, Allison Shields. Congratulations, young ladies, and thank you for being such good representative for KDA Sincerely, Michelle Morehead President updates & events 3 KDA BOARD President: Michelle Morehead [email protected] Vice President: Bill Kraatz [email protected] Treasurer: Glenn Reed [email protected] KDA Spring Warm Up show May 22-24 Opening Date April 1 | Closing Date May 1 Prize list at www.kentuckydressageassociation.com under shows tab $12,700 in prize money Secretary: Joan Gariboldi [email protected] Education Chair: Kristi Fly [email protected] Show Chair: Sheila Woerth [email protected] Membership: Megan Carr [email protected] Central Area Representative: Bonnie Becht [email protected] Director, Central Area: Vicki Warren [email protected] Eastern Area Representative: Jeri Metheny [email protected] Northern Area Representative: Susan Posner [email protected] Southern Area Representataive: Dean Jarboe [email protected] Southwestern Area Representative: Lauren Doyle [email protected] Western Area Representative: Laura Corsentino [email protected] Junior/Young Rider Representative: Alexa Azar [email protected] Gymnastics for Dressage Susan BeeBee, Instructor June 13-14, 2015 Dressage Symposium Caroline Roffman, Instructor June 27-28, 2015 KDA 6th annual schooling show Aug. 2, 2015 KDA breed shows Aug. 15-16, 2015 KDA fall classic I & II Oct. 10-11, 2015 More information for all events can be found on our website www.kentuckydressageassociation.com as it becomes available. committees Awards: Julie Cook Business and Finance: Glenn Reed Bylaws/Policies and Procedures: Bill Kraatz Education: Kristi Fly Junior/Young Rider: Alexa Azar Marketing and Communications: Lauren Doyle Web Design: Lauren Doyle Newsletter: Karen Taylor Show: Sheila Woerth If you would like to participate in one of these committees, please contact Michelle Morehead. Dean Anthony Jarboe, 63, of Stanford, KY passed away on March 27, 2015. He retired after 35 years from being a Union Sprinkler Fitter and was a member of Kentucky Dressage Association (KDA) and Union 669. Dean was born on February 24, 1952, in North Pekin, IL. He is preceded in death by his wife, Vickie Lynn Jarboe; grandparents, Gracy & Cliffy Ham, and his aunt, Shirley Ham. Dean is survived by his daughter, Kassy Cooper (Bradley); parents, Lee & Lillian Jarboe; siblings, Lana Pardon, Candie Wheatley (Joe), and Rhonda Burch (Joey); and many loving nieces and nephews. Memorial contributions may be made to American Cancer Society. 4 member profile Joan Gariboldi: the learning is endless How did you become a dressage rider? As a child I was absolutely fascinated by the Lipizzaner performances at Temple Farms. After 25-plus years of countless hours and dollars, I’m flattered that you are calling me a “dressage rider.” Tell us about your dressage partner I have a few; everything on my farm is required to do some dressage. My most advanced horse is a very small PSG Bavarian warmblood named Elwood who was given to me because he was too short, too spooky, and too sour. He has taught me patience and humility like none other. I never dreamed he would be my Silver Medal horse. We started at 1st level four years ago, and whatever we do from here is strictly bonus. What are the benefits of being a member of KDA? The camaraderie, the clinics, and the prize money — for starters. What are your greatest challenges as a rider? The physical and mental strength and endurance to keep moving forward overall. It seems just when you have mentally checked a box, then you find out you need to return to that movement or exercise to improve the quality of what is next. It never ceases to amaze me how the learning is endless at any level. What do you hope to accomplish in the future? Happy horses that enjoy the show as well as the training to get there. If you could ride any horse, who would you choose? Them all, of course. But if Blu Hors Matine was living, she would top my list.

One 14-year-old dalmation/husky mix and two goldens that are 16 months old known as the “golden girls”. Prior to moving to Lexington, my career was in education. I taught second grade for a few years and then went on to become an elementary school counselor in Michigan. When we moved to Kentucky, I did not return to education. I always had a love and passion for horses but did not have the opportunity to learn to ride until I moved to Kentucky. I started with lessons first. After a couple of years of lessons, my husband bought me my first horse ( who was a school horse) for Christmas! Eventually we moved out of the city and bought 20 acres to build our home and 4-stall barn. I have three horses (two still show and one is a retired event horse). Of course, we cannot leave out the dependable two barn cats who reside in the tack room. I love to show, but I equally LOVE to take my home-bred horse, Emmanuel (E-man), out and about for long trail rides. He and I both love and enjoy our one-on-one time. It is a way to clear our minds and renew our souls and I am grateful that I have a horse that is able and willing to do both. Joan Gariboldi My interest in dressage started when I was a teenager, and has continued to intensify over time. I am from a large family and grew up in Lockport IL on the back of a wonderful pony that my parents bought for $50 from a neighbor. I have spent the rest of my riding life riding as much as possible. As a youngster I started picking up some extra riding on horses that had serious behavior issues, and continue to enjoy working with complicated horses to this day I left Illinois after college to pursue a career in ecology research which landed me in Aiken SC. After 6 years at The Savannah River Ecology Lab, I applied to and was accepted into University of Georgia, and received my DVM in 2003. I returned to Aiken where I practiced at Aiken Equine PA. At that time I explored as many equestrian disciplines as time would allow. These included eventing, foxhunting, driving and most seriously, dressage. My post-vet school budget kept me riding challenging (mentally or physically) horses, but gave me a great appreciation for how dressage lends itself to improving any horses confidence and physical ability to do any discipline. From Aiken, I moved to Ocala FL where I owned my own practice and my riding focused primarily on dressage and some low level eventing. Judy Oliver, a great young instructor, helped me solidify my lower level work, and set me up to be able to move up through the levels with my now PSG horse, Elwood. Together we have earned both bronze and silver medals and are hoping to keep on progressing. My husband, Dr. Barry David and I moved to Lexington 2013, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the shows and clinics available in this area. KDA is by far the most impressive local dressage organization that I have had the pleasure of participating in, and I am looking forward to being a more contributing member by serving on the board. Jeri Fuller-Matheny Jeri FullerMatheny owns and operates Wind Ridge Farm, LLC in Campbellsburg, Ky. located between Louisville, Ky. and Cincinnati, Oh. Wind Ridge Farm LLC resides on over 100 undulating acres and the business is founded on Christian principles and maintains a positive encouraging environment. Jeri specializes in breeding and training sport horses for dressage and three day eventing. Formerly from central Ohio, Jeri grew up riding Quarter Horses in western pleasure, halter, hunt seat equitation, and the lower levels of dressage. She doesn’t remember learning to ride. “My youngest memories, you know, the very first things one can recall of life, always involved horses.” Jeri competes and trains at the upper levels in both dressage and eventing on her current horses, Master Oliver and Whimzical Princess. She began eventing in 1986, and has competed thru the one star level. Whimzical Princess is Jeri’s current dressage mount and was acquired just a few years ago. In her first year of showing Whim, Jeri earned her USDF. Bronze Medal. Whimzical Princess also holds the title of 2013 and 2014 U.S.D.F. Region 2 Sport Horse Mare in Hand Champion. Jeri is an “r” licensed Eventing Technical Delegate. Besides the horses, Jeri holds a B.S. in Political Science with a minor in History. Prior to starting her family, Jeri worked as a veterinary technician for Kentucky area equine veterinarians and was involved in politics at the grass roots. Jeri is married to her favorite farrier Andy and between them they have 4 children; Riley, Gretchen, Colbi and Grant. Together, Jeri and Andy enjoy rehabilitating sporthorses of all breeds at Wind Ridge Farm LLC.
