Collective Remarks Dec-Jan 2010
Collective Volume 2009, Issue 6 H remarkS N e w s l e t t e r M Dear DDA Members, It’s hard to believe that Christmas is almost here! 2009 has flown by fast and we will soon be in 2010! Hard to believe, isn’t it? DDA has had a very busy year, holding 4 USDF rated shows, 3 schooling shows and 2 educational clinics! All venues were well attended, and I hope you were able to participate in many of them. E The Maryal Barnett Clinic was a big hit with all riders and auditors B reporting that it was extremely helpful and enjoyable. And the In Hand Clinic/AWS Inspection was well attended and fun for auditors to watch! A Special THANKS to our organizers Jane Crane, Tracy Arnett and Dana Bishop, and thanks to the owners of the two barns that hosted the clinics, the Rice’s and the Losorwith’s! We are looking for ideas for clinics for 2010. Kim Gentry has offered to teach a clinic on proper lunging techniques. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. Perhaps in 2010 each boarding facility/ trainer could host an educational venue for the members. Trainers, barn owners, let me know if you would be willing to host or plan an event for the club. Although our shows this year were fairly well attended, the number of entries K were down and we took a loss on most (if not all) shows. We found a few small ways to increase some of our show fees, and we will be discussing and voting on them at the December meeting. Our next board meeting is Thursday, December 17 time and place TBD. This will be a regular board meeting, but any/all DDA members are invited and encouraged to attend. F Plans for the DDA Year End Awards Party are underway. Mark and Sara Matz have offered to host the party again and it is tentatively scheduled for January 16th. Be sure to get your scores in for year end awards post marked by Nov. 30th.

There seems to be so little interest in the club that it has been suggested that we consider shutting it down.

Needs 4 more rides. Melissa will send the schedule to our Middle TN neighbors. $25/ day and $45 for the weekend. FINANCIALS Tina made the last payment to USDF Capital Campaign. Blues City - $1030.95 profit Fall Colors - $32.16 profit (w/o awards) Melissa reports the awards cost will just about break us even on this show. Bank Balance - $15,002.93 SHOW ISSUES Jayne moved that all riders under 21 are to wear protective headgear (ASTM approved) and adults are to refer to USEF rules for proper headgear for DDA sponsored schooling shows. If the Farm has a stricter policy, those rules will apply. Melissa seconded the motion and the motion passed by acclamation. This rule becomes effective starting with the 2010 Spring Fling Schooling Show. AWARDS Melissa reports that we have added several breed awards. Year End Awards suggestion is embroidered quarter sheets. The Awards committee is under budget this year so it may be possible to spend a little more on the Year End Awards.

Often the logistics of long-distance travel is an unforeseen roadblock in the path to equine events. This tool allows equine enthusiasts and competitors to post information about open trailer spots, as well as inquire about rides. Information such as where a trailer is leaving from, open trailer space and potential lay-overs will be readily available. S Check out the Ride Share Program at www.clubequestrian.com/tools/rideshare. R USDF Executive Board Statement on Animal Welfare In response to a recent incident at an international competition, the USDF Executive Board has issued the following official statement: V The USDF does not approve of training techniques such as hyperflexion especially when taken to an extreme. While we recognize that we can not control how riders train at home, excessive techniques should not be tolerated at competitions. The USDF feels that it is very important that as a sport we police ourselves and encourage the USEF and FEI to call upon their licensed officials to ensure that cruel and abusive riding does not happen at our competitions. The USDF agrees with and strongly supports the FEI position as stated in the November 17 press release and in particular the statement: "The FEI acknowledges and welcome public opinion and will continue to ensure that the welfare of the horse, which has been central to this debate, will remain its absolute priority." P USDF Historical Award Reports Now Available USDF Historical Award Reports are now available online for the rider, horse and/or owner. The fee for each report is 20.00 for current USDF members and 35.00 for nonmembers. D e l t a D r e s s a g e A s s o c i a t i o n! ! !

As a competing member, you are eligible to participate at all USEF Licensed Competitions, receive "equestrian" magazine at no additional charge, a milliondollar personal excess liability policy for horse-related accidents that cause bodily injury or property damage to third parties, and the added benefits of USEF MemberPerks —a members-only discount program with unbeatable deals from companies like John Deere, Hertz, Sherwin Williams, USRider, FarmVet, LifeLock, Moxie and others.
