Newsletter of the Fort Worth Dressage Club— February, March and April, 2005
Presidents Message
by Barb Harty
Barbara is in Las Vegas as I write this, attending
the World Cup. She worked so hard organizing
the show that I didn’t want to ask her for a column so, you are getting me, your editor instead.
Our show was a huge success! Thanks to a lot of
hard work by our dedicated volunteers. You all
came through with flying colors again. All the
slots were manned and every duty taken care of.
Best of all, you did those jobs with smiles and
don’t think for a minute that goes unnoticed. Our
judges told us over and over what a nice group of
people we are…. how well organized and efficient
and how we work together so seamlessly and we
all get along so well! From the Susan our show
secretary to Ed the show manager to Sarah Jane
Martin the show TD, we got great reviews. All of
them including our judges, Natalie Lamping from
Illinois and Kem Barbosa from Maryland, said
they would LOVE to work with us on another
show! I don’t know how you can do better than
that.
Unlike some past years, the weather cooperated
wonderfully. The temperatures were just right and
no rain to blow in under the
covered arena.
The crew at Glen Rose worked hard to make
sure that the footing was just right in the arenas.
It had to be conditioned several times before it
was right for dressage.
The hospitality table in the barn was a big hit as
it has been in the past. Many dozen cookies, a
cake or two and chocolates by the bag seemed
to disappear as soon as they were set out. The
club purchased a new large coffee pot as the old
one had ceased to work. We made two big pots
of coffee each day and the first one of the day
was gone rather quickly. Thanks to the ladies
who donated baked goodies. We didn’t have a
single rider faint from hunger!
With uneven amounts of time for judges
lunches, we needed something fast and nearby. I
suggested Sonic….neither of the judges had ever
eaten at a Sonic! They loved it!! They even requested to go back on Sunday for lunch there. I
wound up taking orders and bringing it back to
the facility on Sunday because there was so little
time in the schedule for lunch. I even got a note
from Kem Barbosa a few days later thanking me
for introducing her to Sonic’s food. Gee, we
kind of take it for granted around here.
We had some nice vendors this year. Beyond the
Barn and Bridal Suite both were selling a lot of
clothes both days. Tom Little was our ever congenial farrier
We will have a treasurer’s report at the next
meeting that will tell us just how well we did this
time. I have heard that the chances are looking
really good for a new trailer for the club as well
as more money to do some of the projects we
have been talking about for some time. Come
here Barb talk about the World Cup and find out
the details.

Sites and Sounds
If you have never checked on The Horse website,
I highly recommend it. They have some of the
best information available on the web on diseases
and wound care. They also seem to have their
thumb on the pulse of the horse world and what
is going on around the country. If you sign up
with them, it’s free, they will send an email with
articles to you on a regular basis. At the end of
the ezine each time, there is an adoptable horse.
Just in case…..
I am receiving a ton of stuff from the USDF. I
would be interested to know if all of our members
are getting this. If you are, then there is no need
for me to put it into the newsletter. If not, I will
make a digest of it for you and insert a page for it
in a recurring spot in this newsletter. Just drop me
an email at [email protected] and let me know.
Ok, I couldn’t resist…..the bluebonnets are just
so pretty this year that I had to take a picture of
my horses in them….Irish is probably wondering
what all the fuss is about.
Don’t forget to smell the flowers this spring!

On Dreams:
“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then,
when we summon the will, they soon become
inevitable..”
Christopher Reeve
Our People and Places—
News For & About Our Members
You have been a busy bunch of people lately!
Teresa Deeter has been taking her big, black
Fresian gelding, Lladro, to some schooling shows.
They went to the DDC schooling show in March
and came away with two first places out of two
classes. He received a 64% in Tr I and 70% in Tr.
II. When they left he had the top two scores of
the day…..way to go there!
And then, the weekend after our show, Teresa and
Lladro went to the schooling show at Curragh and
did another super ride, scoring 64% on Tr I and
then as they were warming up for their second
test, Lladro slipped on wet grass and fell at the
canter, dumping Teresa onto her arm with her
hands twisted in the reins. Lladro got up and
shook like a dog and stood and waited for Teresa
to get to her feet. What a good boy! They rode the
second test and scored a 58% but Teresa couldn’t
close her fingers on the reins as they were already
swollen. I am happy to report that she is recovered with only a bruise and completely operative
fingers once more. Husband Jim took this photo
of the pair right before the accident.
World Cup Draws Many Area Riders
President Barb Harty, Kathy Alexander and Diane
Richey are only a few of the folks from this area
who are attending the World Cup competition in
Las Vegas this week. I expect that some world
class shopping opportunities are there also. We
will want to get a full report when they return.
Tack For Iraq
Recently the club voted to send a $50 check to the
group working to save the Arabian horses in Iraq.
I received a very nice letter from them. It follows:
Hi Dyanna,
Thank you and your club and please pass that to
them--we mean it and deeply.
Since Dr. Kathy, (CPT Knake) is back from the
further reaches of Iraq, we are shipping supplies
and tack almost on a daily basis. The first things
going over, of course, are the more critical vet.
drugs, vax and supplies. The drugs that must be
kept cold are going over via FedEx Next Day Priority, and though they are giving us a pretty good
discount, it is still not cheap—but it is the only
way we have to be sure the drugs stay refrigerated.
For what it’s worth, VetWrap makes great packing
for fragile items.
Again, Dyanna, we appreciate your efforts to help
the INH Horses; your own and everyone associated with the FWDC. Hug your horses for us and
we wish you a great season this year.
Thanks,
Ed Littlefox Copeland
Director, Tack For Iraq
Editors Note:
In previous emails, Ed mentioned that one of the
major news channels had been to Iraq and interviewed him and the others involved with the program. I turned on the television on a Saturday evening recently a few minutes before six p.m. and
there it was. It was a nice show with before and
after shots of the herd. Soldiers were riding some
of the horses. A lady veterinarian explained how
they were recovering daily with the care and generosity of horse people from other countries. The
photos of the new foals romping with their moms
gave an indication of a bright future for the herd.
Quadrille Group Having a Great Time!
Eckart Meyners and Hannes Muller Seat
Symposium & Trainers Clinic
Some of our members attended as riders and other
were auditors and grooms. All that have reported to
me about this learning opportunity had rave reviews.
Donna and John Wright are to be commended for
continuing to bring this level of expertise to our area.
We are really lucky to have such dedicated and willing
dressage enthusiasts among us. We will be getting a
report on this soon and Carrie Ferrer has offered to
give the club a clinic on these methods in return for
our sponsorship of her lessons. Don’t miss this one!
News From USDF
From left to right:
Libby Aflerbach on Doc, Teresa Deeter on Lladro,
Barb Harty on Lobo and Terry Olsen on Arwen.
On this particular Sunday at Wills Ranch, there were
several of the regulars absent but this four went
through their paces and is getting better every practice.
Meg Flemming will be working with the group this
next practice. All of the participants have said that this
is a great deal of fun and the horses seem to enjoy doing something different too. There are still openings if
you are interested. Contact one of the members to find
out where and when they will practice next.
Give A Dog A Home?
Nettie Olsen wrote that a friend is looking for a good
home for a 13 month old registered Austrailian
Shepard. The dog belongs to a friend’s daughter in law,
who works all the time, so the friend has ended up taking care of him. His is housebroken and believed to
hve been to doggy training. He is very sweet and well
bred. Netties’ friend owns the sister of this dog.
If you are interested or know someone who is, contact
Nettie and she can put you in touch with the friend.
Call Nettie at 817-929-0052, 817-313-0981 or email her
at [email protected]
Illness Among Us
Donna Ray had volunteered to scribe at our show but
was unable to because she had developed pneumonia
and was confined to bed. Hopefully, she is recovered
by now.
Vicky Ferrer is still pretty much housebound with her
illness. She now has an email address…
[email protected] and I bet that she would
love to get something cheerful in her inbox. She is able
to get out some but not for long or far.
The national organization sends out emails almost
daily and these are some that have recently crossed my
screen. If you need further information, contact the
USDF directly. They are very good about answering
emails.

It takes a lot of work to put on a recognized show. Ours wouldn’t happen without the work of our dedicated

of the volunteers who worked our show. The drawing will be held at the next meeting. Special thanks to those
volunteers who drove a long way to work for us. Amy Talley scribed both days and she drove from Austin.
