WELCOME FROM GEG
Welcome to the 2023 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival! The team at Global Equestrian Group and Wellington International is thrilled to be able to welcome back the AGDF exhibitors, sponsors, owners, trainers, vendors, and spectators to the 12th year of this spectacular event! We believe that we will again have another incredible year of top dressage sport at all levels of competition.
PLACE YOUR BRAND AT THE HEART OF THE EQUESTRIAN SPORT!
This year, Global Equestrian Group had the pleasure of participating in the 2022 FEI World Championships for Dressage and Para Dressage in Denmark. Many top dressage athletes and enthusiasts travelled from around the world to see the best horses and riders compete. The feeling of excitement in the venue was unmatched, and it was special to know that many of these same athletes would be with us, competing at our own dressage horse show in 2023. As an athlete, professional, and enthusiast, nothing makes me prouder than to be able to participate in the sport in this way. This year’s schedule includes three CDI-W competition, two CDI4* competitions, the five-star event, and the FEI Nations Cup Series CDIO3*, offering the very best of competition opportunities for international-level riders. We will also continue to offer a wide range of classes for Amateurs and young horses, with the hopes of offering opportunities for participation at any level and supporting the future of the sport. Fans of the sport will be excited to see the return of the $15,000 Lövsta Future Challenge/Young Horse Grand Prix series for horses eight to ten years of age and the $10,000 Future Challenge/Young Horse Prix St. Georges series for horses aged seven to nine years old. Future stars in the saddle can also be seen throughout AGDF in the FEI Pony, Children’s, Junior, Young Rider, and Under 25 divisions.
From left: Ludger Beerbaum and Andreas Helgstrand. We encourage fans to support their favorite country during week 7 in the FEI Nations Cup Series for both senior and Under 25 riders. We hope to welcome new countries to the Nations Cup experience once again in 2023. The “Friday Night Stars” series will return to its regular schedule as well, with Grand Prix Freestyle performances during weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11. We look forward to seeing you at AGDF and thank you for your continued support!

While many of our international-level riders prepared for last year’s FEI World Championships in Denmark, this year we will see riders coming to Wellington for the opportunity to ride in front of the best judges in the world as they try to join teams for the Pan American Games and European Championships, as well as Olympic qualifiers. This year’s schedule includes three World Cup qualifying shows — those who qualify will go on to compete at the FEI World Cup Dressage Finals in Omaha, Nebraska, in April — two CDI4* competitions, the five-star event where riders will compete in the International Arena at Wellington International, and the FEI Nations Cup Series CDIO3*, where we hope to add more flags from new countries competing at AGDF. The $15,000 Lövsta Future Challenge for young grand prix horses returns once again this year and we will once again see some of the best up-and-coming horses in the world as they start their careers. The $10,000 Future Challenge/Young Horse Prix St. Georges series is for horses aged seven to nine years old and is another wonderful opportunity for those preparing for the big stage. Qualifiers will be held throughout the circuit and the finals are during week 11. While the “Friday Night Stars” Grand Prix Freestyles will continue to be a spectator draw throughout the circuit, AGDF hosts classes for riders and horses at every level, including pony, children’s, junior, young rider, under 25, and amateurs.

A captive insurance program tailored to the unique needs of your business can help take that stress away – by not only protecting you during the bad years but by helping you grow during the good ones.
Beach Dressage Derby Week 8 features knockout competition where riders compete on unfamiliar horses — see who will be able to win this year! If you can’t make it to Equestrian Village this winter, please follow along on our livestream events at GlobalDressageFestival.com and on our social media channels. We look forward to seeing you this winter at the 2023 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival. Be well and best of luck this year,

Lövsta Future Challenge Jumping Continues in 2023
January 24-28 2023 • Wellington, FL
Lövsta Future Challenge Jumping US is a development tour for seven-year-old horses, with a vision to provide the best possible conditions for future stars in jumping. The tour will host seven qualifiers throughout the Winter Equestrian Festival circuit. At the end of the circuit, the qualified horses will compete in a prestigious final in the International Arena at Wellington International with the total prize money of $25,000 being offered. “We were thrilled about the outcome of last year’s season,” said Sophie Mörner, founder of Lövsta Future Challenge Jumping US and fifth generation of the owner family. “With more than 200 entries from more than 10 nationalities throughout the season, one could really see how important it is to put our future stars into the spotlight. By giving them the opportunity to compete in an arena like Wellington International, we hope to give them valuable experience for the future.” From the very beginning, Lövsta Future Challenge has focused on other aspects of competition development, including sustainability and more profound respect for horses through our philosophy of horsemanship. We share our beliefs and commitment in various forums in which we invite riders and their trainers from both dressage and jumping to participate in and learn from. Lövsta Future Challenge is about seeking knowledge and striving for perfection, embracing the joy of the partnership between the horse and rider, and leaving a sustainable footprint within equestrian sport. Since the inception of Lövsta Future Challenge US, a donation of 100 USD per entry has been made to a charitable organization. During the first two seasons, donations were made to Friends of Palm Beach, and most recently during the 2022 season, 22,400 USD was raised for Brooke USA. “For each participant in Lövsta Future Challenge, jumping and dressage, Lövsta is donating $100 to the cause,” concluded Ax:son Johnson.

For the 2023 season, Lövsta Future Challenge has partnered with Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center. Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center has been serving people with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities of all ages in Palm Beach County since 1982. Today, six programs are offered, providing the benefits of equineassisted activities and therapies.

Lövsta Future Challenge is about seeking knowledge and striving for perfection, embracing the joy of the partnership between the horse and rider, and leaving a sustainable footprint within equestrian sport. Since the inception of Lövsta Future Challenge US, a donation of 100 USD per entry has been made to a charitable organization. During the first two seasons, donations were made to Friends of Palm Beach, and most recently during the 2022 season, 22,400 USD was raised for Brooke USA. “For each participant in Lövsta Future Challenge, jumping and dressage, Lövsta is donating $100 to the cause,” concluded Ax:son Johnson.

SPECTATOR'S GUIDE
THE SPECTATOR’S GUIDE to Equestrian Competition DRESSAGE Dressage is a competitive equestrian sport, defined by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) as “the highest expression of horse training.” The rider will be relaxed and appear effort-free while the horse willingly performs the requested movement. In modern dressage competition, successful training at the various levels is demonstrated through the performance of “tests,” prescribed series of movements ridden within a standard arena. Dressage is considered the most artistic of the equestrian sports and can be traced back centuries. The Freestyle is choreographed and performed to music.
For the finest European tack, equipment, clothing and boots rely on the expert team at C U at X Tack. Both owners are dressage competitors themselves and test every item they carry. And the X-Factor Design Studio is the place to create a look that is uniquely your own. Get your X-Factor on with the brands you love at C U at X Tack.
PARA DRESSAGE Para Dressage is the sport of Dressage, the highest expression of horse training, for Athletes with an impairment. Conducted under the same basic rules, but with Athletes classified according to the level of their impairment, the horse has to perform at a walk, trot, and canter, and all tests are ridden from memory and follow a prescribed pattern of movements. The only exception is the Freestyle which is specifically choreographed for each horse and is performed to music. Para Dressage is the only Equestrian discipline included in the Paralympic Games, where it has been a regular fixture since 1996. The Paralympic Games are the second largest sporting event in the world after the Olympic Games, and are contested immediately after the Olympic Games in the same city and at the same venue.
CONCOURS DRESSAGE INTERNATIONAL: CDI An acronym for Concours Dressage International, a dressage competition recognized by the FEI. As CDI-W, there are World Cup qualifying or World Cup classes at the show, as CDIO there are Olympic qualifying or Olympic classes at the show.

SPECTATOR'S GUIDE
GRAND PRIX SHOW JUMPING Jumping is one of the three Olympic equestrian sports, along with Dressage and Eventing. As in all equestrian sports, men and women compete on equal terms. The Olympic sport of Grand Prix show jumping is the highest and most challenging level of jumping competition. Men and women compete over a set course of obstacles that can be as tall as 1.60 meters (5.25 feet) in height. They must clear all of the fences without knocking down a pole in order to return for the second round, also known as the “jump-off,” and be the fastest with the least faults to win.
Guide to Scoring in Show Jumping Penalties in show jumping competitions are referred to as “faults.” Knocking down a rail or a pole on a jump is 4 faults, as is putting a foot in the water jump or the first refusal. In all jumper classes, falls and going off-course result in elimination, as does a second refusal.
Show Jumping Faults and Penalties • Knocking over a jump:. . . . . . . . . • Refusing a jump:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Two refusals:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Rider falls off:. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Over the time allowed: . . . . . . . .
4 faults 4 faults Eliminated Eliminated faults for every second over the time
HUNTERS Hunt seat competitions are based upon elegant traditions arising from the foxhunt. Hunters differ from jumpers because they are judged on the style, movement, and technical proficiency of the horse and rider within the constraints of the set course design. Hunters should display jumping ability, manners, style, an even pace, and quality.
PASSION IN MOTION
EQUITATION Equitation competition is offered for junior and amateur riders and is judged based on the style and form of the rider. Horses are not judged in this discipline, but successful riders will ensure that their horses are well behaved. Riders can be judged over fences or on the flat.

The significance of FDA approval FDA approval is important to all the veterinarians who participated in a recent roundtable discussion hosted by American Regent Animal Health. For example, Dr. Christopher E. Kawcak, director of Equine Clinical Services at Colorado State University, said he values FDA approval. “I think most people are unaware of what the FDA actually does to protect the consumer,” Dr. Kawcak said, “and once they realize that, a lot of times they start to realize that [products] are approved for a reason.” Medications regulated and approved by the FDA must be studied rigorously and monitored continuously. To be specific, FDA-approved products must be backed by scientific studies proving that they’re safe and effective. They must be made in facilities that follow Good Manufacturing Practice to ensure proper handling to preserve safety, effectiveness and the integrity of their ingredients. Manufacturers of FDA-approved products must also track and report any problems they become aware of, and they must submit their marketing materials to the FDA.
Supplements and medical devices are regulated by the FDA, most are not required to follow the same stringent approval processes as prescription drugs. Unlike with FDA-approved drugs, medical device manufacturers are not required to provide clinical data about their products and supplement manufacturers are not required to prove their products’ safety, effectiveness, ingredient makeup or manufacturing processes.
The veterinarian’s role Many FDA-approved equine joint medications require a prescription so the veterinarian can ensure that the medication is appropriate to use for an individual horse and that the correct dose is given in the proper way. That’s why involving a veterinarian in your horse’s joint care is so important. By completing regular soundness exams and a detailed diagnosis in the face of lameness, your veterinarian will recommend the therapies that are best for your horse’s individual situation. When your horse is being evaluated for lameness, your veterinarian will ask you a number of

When your horse is being evaluated for lameness, your veterinarian will ask you a number of

questions ranging from your horse’s routine exercise to diet and supplement use to changes in housing to other therapies your horse is receiving. All this information is critical to ensuring the products and therapies work together appropriately and can effectively treat lameness.
When DJD develops DJD, also called arthritis, is often to blame for lameness. In fact, DJD causes up to 60% of lameness in horses.3 DJD is characterized by progressive deterioration of articular cartilage, along with changes in the bone and soft tissues of the joint.4 If left untreated, DJD continues to get worse. Diagnosing DJD allows you and your veterinarian to begin treatment early, because once cartilage wears away completely, it cannot be restored. As an FDA-approved product, Adequan® i.m. has been proven to reduce inflammation, restore synovial joint lubrication, repair joint cartilage and reverse the disease cycle.1, 2 Dr. Robin Dabareiner, who worked at Texas A&M University for 23 years before working at Waller Equine Hospital in Texas, appreciates that Adequan i.m. is backed by FDA approval. “I try to talk to clients, telling them I feel it’s a bigger bang for your buck if you go with the intramuscular Adequan [than unproven supplements],” Dr. Dabareiner said. As the only FDA-approved equine polysulfated glycosaminoglycan for DJD in horses, Adequan i.m. actually treats the disease of DJD, not just the clinical signs.1, 2 1
Successfully managing joint issues often requires a combination of therapies. While the goal of every therapy is to support a horse’s mobility, some products are more effective at preserving and extending mobility because they’re targeted to certain issues. This is especially true when it comes to slowing the effects of arthritis or DJD.

Understanding the different types of joint products, how they’re made and monitored, and whether they’re proven to be safe and effective is important. After all, keeping your horse’s joints healthy is one of the keys to a long life of riding—together. And that’s the ultimate goal. INDICATIONS Adequan® i.m. (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan) is recommended for the intramuscular treatment of non-infectious degenerative and/or traumatic joint dysfunction and associated lameness of the carpal and hock joints in horses. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION There are no known contraindications to the use of intramuscular Polysulfated Glycosaminoglycan. Studies have not been conducted to establish safety in breeding horses. WARNING: Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Not for use in humans. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. For full prescribing information, visit adequan.com.

An Interview with Rising Star
CHRISTIAN SIMONSON T
wenty-year-old Christian Simonson of Ventura, California, has made the transition from a successful young rider to the professional ranks. Having won triple gold at the 2021 FEI North American Youth Championships (NAYC) with Zeaball Diawind, Christian will move up to contest against some of the best riders in the world. His accomplishments include team gold and individual silver medals at the 2016 NAYC and another individual silver in 2017. Also in 2021, he was chosen to represent the United States at the Future Champions Nations Cup in Hagen, Germany, where the team took home bronze. Last summer, he and Son of a Lady had a third-place podium finish in the Grand Prix Freestyle Young Rider division at CHIO Aachen in Germany. He trained with Olympian Jan Ebeling and now works with U.S. Olympic team silver medalist Adrienne Lyle and makes Wellington his home in the winters. He is studying business online through the University of Texas – Austin and has dual citizenship through the U.S. and the Netherlands. In addition to his equestrian success, Christian obtained his student’s pilot license at the age of 16 and is an avid mountain biker, downhill skier, and is certified in scuba diving.

difficult and technical, even as a kid. If there was anything I could perfect to a percent and that was really difficult, I absolutely loved it. That’s kind of how I got hooked on dressage. You’re able to technically make something so perfect. That, and competition — that rush of competition and being able to have the fruits of your labor come out with a possible medal or ribbon. What have you learned in working with Adrienne Lyle? I think with Adrienne and especially the whole team, it’s a team environment. Being at Adrienne’s barn, we have the top-notch vets, chiropractors, saddle fitters, anything you can imagine. Everyone really wants to work to help each other, but also progress themselves, and I think being in that elite team environment has really helped me. That’s a big appeal, the team environment and the culture that they’ve been able to cultivate at Team River Grove.
How did you start riding? My sister and I started riding when I was about six. We grew up in more of a rural area, and we started riding Quarter Horses and then it progressed to jumping for a little bit and then I met an amazing trainer named Gail Hoff Carmona. She is the one that really introduced dressage to me and made it so much fun. I started focusing on dressage when I was 11 and competed in my first NAYC when I was 13.

in the United States, and I think that’s kind of the biggest appeal, and so many shows back-to-back. It is constant competition, and you can school anything from your grand prix horse to your five-year-old, and it makes it so special that everyone wants to go to Wellington.
with scores of 73% and 70%. He’s definitely, quirky, I would say. He has very, very specific things that he likes to be done in a particular way, but he’s also extremely honest. He’ll never do anything malicious or out of his character; he’s always consistent.
What horses will you have this winter and what will they compete in? This winter I’ll have Son of a Lady. I’ll compete him on the small tour and then Zeaball Diawind, who I previously competed at the young rider level who will also compete at small tour. I’m also riding Adrienne Lyle’s previous grand prix horse, Harmony’s Duval, who I’ll ride in the Under 25 division.
What are some of the short-term goals for this year and long-term career goals? The short-term goals are hopefully do really well at the small tour level. Of course, you’re competing with all the adults and a higher level than what I’ve competed at so we’ll have to see how that goes. With Duval, it’s competing in the Under 25. I’d like to make the European tour, the same in the young riders with Son of a Lady. Hopefully my scores hold up to make another European tour and maybe go to Aachen. In the long term, my goals are to make senior teams and compete more internationally at a higher level.
What is it like riding Harmony’s Duval, such an accomplished horse? I started riding him four months ago, and we competed in the December show in Wellington. It went really, really well

RIDERS TO WATCH
2023 AGDF: Dressage Riders To Watch
For me, this is a very hard question because I think something that makes a horse so special is the relationship it has with its rider. That being said, if I could sit on any horse in my dreams, it would be Totilas or Glamourdale!
If you were to choose one superpower, what would it be and why? I would love to be able to teleport with any of my horses and my dog! That would make everything so much easier, and I would be able to see my friends and family so much more.
Do you have any pre-show rituals or good luck charms when getting ready to compete? My pre-show rituals include taking some down time before going to the show to focus and analyze my test. I am very superstitious; I need to have certain gloves and my lucky stock tie! Is there a famous horse, either currently competing or in the past, that you would love to ride? If I could ride any horse, I would have loved to ride Valegro. If you were to choose one superpower, what would it be and why? Superpower would have to be teleportation! Having two young kids and a business can be challenging at times. I could get so much more done in a day if I could get teleported!
CHARLOTTE JORST (USA)
BRITTANY FRASER (CAN)
KATIE DUERRHAMMER (USA)
When did you start riding and why? My mom is a dressage trainer and to quote her, “Katie has been riding since before she was born!” My mom rode up until two weeks before she had me. I love anything that deals with training animals. The relationships we build with our horses and the challenge of training them while keeping them happy and healthy inspires me daily! What do you like most about competing at AGDF? I love the atmosphere in the AGDF Stadium; it has as much if not more electric feel of any stadium or big ring I have been in! The short distance between our home farm and Global is a great benefit for both our horses and staff. After all, there’s no place like home. Do you have any pre-show rituals or good luck charms when getting ready to compete? I love to braid my horses myself! I am pretty religious about it. I put headphones in and have my favorite play list. I really enjoy that quiet time with my horse to just be together and feel like we are both on the same page. I want them to feel relaxed and focused. As far as good luck charms, you can ask anybody that has ever been in the barn with me before I get on. I HAVE to have a banana. I actually don’t like bananas, but it’s something I started a long time ago. I know it will never upset my stomach, and it always gives me that little extra boost to be ready physically and mentally for the ring. So, a banana 10 minutes before I get on, no matter what time of day I show! Is there a famous horse, either currently competing or in the past, that you would love to ride? 46
2023 ADEQUAN ® GLOBAL DRESSAGE FESTIVAL
When did you start riding and why? I started riding at the age of four and loved horses from the very beginning. My family was involved in horses; we had a riding school at my father’s farm. All I wanted to do was be in the barn – riding, grooming, barn chores – I loved it all.
SARAH TUBMAN (USA)
When did you start riding and why? I started riding before I could walk and at the age of three was put on my first horse, a one-eyed, 32-year-old Quarter Horse pony that my father bought from a penny saver magazine for $500 that came with all its Western tack. It was all history after that. I was on or with my horses 24/7 and when I was 10, I told my first trainer that I was “going to be a horse trainer, and I was going to the Olympics.” Ever since then, I have been working to make my childhood dreams a reality!
What do you like most about competing at AGDF? ADGF is an amazing place to compete because not only is it five minutes away from my barn but it also has shows almost every weekend throughout the season. You can pick and choose what weekend works best with the training schedule, and it’s amazing to have those kind of options! I am also a huge fan on the Friday night freestyles. It’s great exposure for the horses that plan to go to complete in Europe to get a taste of a big atmosphere and be able to practice on home turf before heading overseas. Do you have any pre-show rituals or good luck charms when getting ready to compete? My husband/coach is my good luck charm! But honestly, I always repeat a meditation routine to ground myself and become aware of my body and mind before getting on the horse. We have a busy barn with lots of clients and horses so this is very important for me to be able to get on to compete with a clear and calm mind.
What do you like most about competing at AGDF? I have been competing at AGDF for many years now, and each year I am excited to get competing. I so look forward to riding under the lights at AGDF. The crowd, atmosphere, and being up against many top combinations is something I really look forward to.
When did you start riding and why? I rode ponies when I was very little. I started jumping when I was 35, and at 49 years old, I started riding dressage. What do you like most about competing at AGDF? I love the people the most – the staff, the stewards. I love the fact that they have known me forever. They are almost like family. Do you have any pre-show rituals or good luck charms when getting ready to compete? I’m not superstitious at all. I always do the flossing dance before I go though! Is there a famous horse, either currently competing or in the past, that you would love to ride? I would love to ride Valegro. I think he should ride a lot like my horse Nintendo. If you were to choose one superpower, what would it be and why? There’s nothing I want to do that I don’t do already. I don’t need a super power; I just do it!
Is there a famous horse, either currently competing or in the past, that you would love to ride? I would love to ride any of Catherine Dufour’s horses! It was so inspiring to watch her ride this last summer when we were in Europe. If you were to choose one superpower, what would it be and why? If I was going to choose one superpower, mine would be the ability to speak to animals. I know that’s what we are attempting to do on a daily basis, but it would be so special to be able to speak to them and know what they are saying.

Having two young kids and a business can be challenging at times. I could get so much more done in a day if I could get teleported!
CHARLOTTE JORST (USA)
BRITTANY FRASER (CAN)
KATIE DUERRHAMMER (USA)
When did you start riding and why? My mom is a dressage trainer and to quote her, “Katie has been riding since before she was born!” My mom rode up until two weeks before she had me. I love anything that deals with training animals. The relationships we build with our horses and the challenge of training them while keeping them happy and healthy inspires me daily! What do you like most about competing at AGDF? I love the atmosphere in the AGDF Stadium; it has as much if not more electric feel of any stadium or big ring I have been in! The short distance between our home farm and Global is a great benefit for both our horses and staff. After all, there’s no place like home. Do you have any pre-show rituals or good luck charms when getting ready to compete? I love to braid my horses myself! I am pretty religious about it. I put headphones in and have my favorite play list. I really enjoy that quiet time with my horse to just be together and feel like we are both on the same page. I want them to feel relaxed and focused. As far as good luck charms, you can ask anybody that has ever been in the barn with me before I get on. I HAVE to have a banana. I actually don’t like bananas, but it’s something I started a long time ago. I know it will never upset my stomach, and it always gives me that little extra boost to be ready physically and mentally for the ring. So, a banana 10 minutes before I get on, no matter what time of day I show! Is there a famous horse, either currently competing or in the past, that you would love to ride? 46
2023 ADEQUAN ® GLOBAL DRESSAGE FESTIVAL
When did you start riding and why? I started riding at the age of four and loved horses from the very beginning. My family was involved in horses; we had a riding school at my father’s farm. All I wanted to do was be in the barn – riding, grooming, barn chores – I loved it all.
SARAH TUBMAN (USA)
When did you start riding and why? I started riding before I could walk and at the age of three was put on my first horse, a one-eyed, 32-year-old Quarter Horse pony that my father bought from a penny saver magazine for $500 that came with all its Western tack. It was all history after that. I was on or with my horses 24/7 and when I was 10, I told my first trainer that I was “going to be a horse trainer, and I was going to the Olympics.” Ever since then, I have been working to make my childhood dreams a reality!
What do you like most about competing at AGDF? ADGF is an amazing place to compete because not only is it five minutes away from my barn but it also has shows almost every weekend throughout the season. You can pick and choose what weekend works best with the training schedule, and it’s amazing to have those kind of options! I am also a huge fan on the Friday night freestyles. It’s great exposure for the horses that plan to go to complete in Europe to get a taste of a big atmosphere and be able to practice on home turf before heading overseas. Do you have any pre-show rituals or good luck charms when getting ready to compete? My husband/coach is my good luck charm! But honestly, I always repeat a meditation routine to ground myself and become aware of my body and mind before getting on the horse. We have a busy barn with lots of clients and horses so this is very important for me to be able to get on to compete with a clear and calm mind.
What do you like most about competing at AGDF? I have been competing at AGDF for many years now, and each year I am excited to get competing. I so look forward to riding under the lights at AGDF. The crowd, atmosphere, and being up against many top combinations is something I really look forward to.
When did you start riding and why? I rode ponies when I was very little. I started jumping when I was 35, and at 49 years old, I started riding dressage. What do you like most about competing at AGDF? I love the people the most – the staff, the stewards. I love the fact that they have known me forever. They are almost like family. Do you have any pre-show rituals or good luck charms when getting ready to compete? I’m not superstitious at all. I always do the flossing dance before I go though! Is there a famous horse, either currently competing or in the past, that you would love to ride? I would love to ride Valegro. I think he should ride a lot like my horse Nintendo. If you were to choose one superpower, what would it be and why? There’s nothing I want to do that I don’t do already. I don’t need a super power; I just do it!
Is there a famous horse, either currently competing or in the past, that you would love to ride? I would love to ride any of Catherine Dufour’s horses! It was so inspiring to watch her ride this last summer when we were in Europe. If you were to choose one superpower, what would it be and why? If I was going to choose one superpower, mine would be the ability to speak to animals. I know that’s what we are attempting to do on a daily basis, but it would be so special to be able to speak to them and know what they are saying.

IDA Development’s success didn’t happen overnight. Harry Knopp purchased IDA Farm in 2014 and oversaw a major renovation, which included increasing the stalls from 65 to 135. It has since expanded to nearly double its original size and includes everything needed for dressage and jumpers to train with success. “When I bought IDA Farm, I tore it all down and rebuilt everything in four-and-a-half months,” said Knopp, who has two children with his wife, Teresa. “IDA Farm always had a rich history; it had a very good reputation but needed capital and improvement.” Construction started on June 1 and was completed by Thanksgiving, according to Knopp. “People come here (to IDA Farm) from all over the world,” said Knopp, who is originally from the Pittsburgh area where he was the Executive Vice President of Sales and Operations for BolttechMannings, a large Energy Service company for 30 years, focusing on critical maintenance for oil refineries, fossil and nuclear power plants, off-shore rigs, and steel mills. “They instantly feel the culture here and the sense of community, and the horses also feel no stress,” said Knopp. “They like the way things are built and laid out. They would say, ‘Who built that ring? Who built that covered arena?’ and I would tell them I built it. Everybody has a friend and a friend of a friend. And that’s how IDA (Development) was started. The birth of IDA Development was because of what I did at IDA Farm.” After departing the energy services industry, Knopp pivoted and started IDA Development on May 1, 2017, partnering with Adam Pazzaglia, a well-respected builder in Wellington for decades. It’s been a busy and rewarding five years for the hard-working pair. IDA Development now provides a comprehensive portfolio of services. In addition to building custom barns and 54

Knopp and Pazzaglia share a simple business philosophy. “One job at a time. One day at a time. We’re a company of integrity,” said Knopp. “It’s pretty exciting to think about where the business is today from conception only five years ago. It’s pretty incredible, actually. The first two-and-a-half years, it was me and Adam and a handful of people. We have so much momentum now. The last two-and-a-half years, we’ve been able to develop the team. I feel like I’m professionalizing the equestrian services business. It’s pretty incredible to think where it’s going to be five years from now.”

IDA Development also donated their services to build a ring for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Mounted Police.
Knopp and Pazzaglia share a simple business philosophy. “One job at a time. One day at a time. We’re a company of integrity,” said Knopp. “It’s pretty exciting to think about where the business is today from conception only five years ago. It’s pretty incredible, actually. The first two-and-a-half years, it was me and Adam and a handful of people. We have so much momentum now. The last two-and-a-half years, we’ve been able to develop the team. I feel like I’m professionalizing the equestrian services business. It’s pretty incredible to think where it’s going to be five years from now.”

RIDER SPOTLIGHT: FREDERIC WANDRES
CROSSING THE POND
T
he 2023 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) will mark the third time that German dressage rider Frederic Wandres crosses the Atlantic to compete in Wellington, Florida. The decorated athlete first came to compete at AGDF when the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered all of the indoor winter shows in Europe in 2021. Finding a welcoming show, fantastic weather, and a competitive environment, Wandres and his team continue to make their winter plans in Wellington. Wandres, who is originally from Kehl am Rhein, a town across the French border from Strasbourg, started riding at the age of nine when a group of his friends started weekly lessons at the local riding school. After 10 lessons, Wandres was the only one who stayed and continued riding. “From that day on, I was in the stable almost every day and with the horses every afternoon. All of my teenage years were spent in the stable,” he remembered. Wandres started in both jumping and dressage and purchased a three-year-old that he brought along the young horse levels. “The first time I jumped a little bit higher at a show, I crashed directly in the first fence,” he recalled. “We were fine, but from then on, I was a little bit afraid. I said, ‘Okay, the decision is made.’ I ended up with dressage which was completely fine for me.” Wandres started riding at the renowned dressage training and breeding facility, Hof Kasselman, in Hagen, Germany, at the age of 20, where he was given the opportunity to ride top horses and compete internationally. Now 35 years old, he is still grateful for their support. “The Kasselman family supports me very well and always is behind me,” he said. “They give me the best possibilities,
64

horses, and mental support that I could dream of. They opened the door for me and allowed me to start competing on an international level.” Wandres made his first team appearance in a championship at the 2022 FEI World Championships in Herning, Denmark, where the Germans took home the bronze medal. Wandres and Duke of Britain FRH finished ninth individually. “Being on a team for Germany is not so easy because there are so many good combinations, and there are always new ones coming up,” said Wandres. “You always have to show again that you are strong and consistent.
“All of the horses that I brought to Wellington developed in a very good way, and I was very happy to take them back to Europe and continue there with the success that we started to create in Wellington. I think it’s good because most of the international judges are in Wellington during the season. AGDF is very good to prepare the horses for the upcoming season.” When Wandres looks back at the past few years, he thinks about how he can keep that consistency, but knows that it will continue to take the hard work and the hours he puts in at the barn. Wandres is always in the stable and does not expect someone on his team to do something that he wouldn’t, including feeding, mucking stalls, or handwalking horses. He feels that this work is also what provides a strong connection to his horses, which shows in the dressage arena. That strong connection will be on display again when Wandres returns to Wellington with one of his top horses, Bluetooth OLD, along with students and sales horses. For the first time, Wandres and
his team will be based on their own farm where they have 19 stalls just 15 minutes away from the AGDF showgrounds. He will focus on showing and teaching, helping students progress in international sport and develop horses. “I’m counting the days for warm weather,” he laughed. “And another big thing is I love to compete Friday under the lights with the spectators. Last year it was so full, and the atmosphere is really amazing. People support you if you have a good or a bad test. I could see this with a lot of other riders, and that’s what I like there in that arena.” In addition to the weather, atmosphere, and proximity of his barn to the showgrounds, Wandres appreciates the opportunity to compete in a CDI with three-star, four-star, five-star, and Nations Cup opportunities — Wandres has been a part of the winning German team for the last two years at AGDF. Wandres will bring his passion for horses and the sport of dressage to AGDF, where he will be watching other horse-and-rider combinations for inspiration. “I want to create a partnership with my horses,” he said. “When I see other riders and good combinations growing and growing, that also inspires me and gives me new input to see how I can do it better and to make it better for myself.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a gold, bronze, or silver medal,” he continued. “For Germany this is always something special. It was my dream as a kid to compete in a championship one day for Germany. This medal was everything that we worked for together over my whole riding life, for myself and also all the others around me. It is a very special memory.” In addition to the championship medal, Wandres has been the German national champion twice and won the team gold medal at CHIO Aachen in Germany in 2021. His 2022 season was incredible, as he won 27 FEI classes with seven different horses, including three second places at CHIO Aachen with Duke of Britain FRH and classes in the CDI4* in Aachen with Quizmaster FRH and Bluetooth OLD. Most recently, Duke of Britain FRH won the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Freestyle CDI-W in Madrid, Spain. The competition at AGDF is one component that Wandres believes helped him maintain his ranking as one of the best dressage athletes in the world – at the time of printing, he was ranked number nine. 2023 ADEQUAN ® GLOBAL DRESSAGE FESTIVAL

the official saddle choice of dressage world champion, Lottie Fry aviarsaddles.com
T
all, dark, and handsome – when Salvino enters the ring, he cuts a striking figure. The 17.1 hand, dark bay, 15-year-old Hanoverian stallion by Sandro Hit out of Dynastie, a Donnerhall daughter, has risen to the top of the international dressage world under the saddle of U.S. athlete Adrienne Lyle for the past seven years. Bred by Joachim Essink and owned by Betsy Juliano since 2018, Salvino has a way of attracting the attention of fans and judges alike. Read on to learn more about this dressage superstar! Salvino started his international career in young horse classes as a five-year-old with Spanish rider Susana Vazquez Mostaza, with fellow Spanish rider Antonio Diaz Porras taking over the ride in the following year. “Based on video clips I was able to track down online, Salvino was actually started as a jumper,” revealed Lyle, “and he was quite good at jumping! Even as a very young horse he appeared to have the confidence and work ethic that he does now. He was then purchased as a dressage horse.” Lyle had brought together a syndicate of owners to acquire an internationally-competitive prospect to be on U.S. teams. She found Salvino in Spain in 2015, and in 2017, they made their FEI debut together at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival in the Grand Prix and won their second class together, the Grand Prix Special CDI3*, with
66
2023 ADEQUAN ® GLOBAL DRESSAGE FESTIVAL
a score of 73.510%. After that first season, Juliano, who was a member of the syndicate, assumed sole ownership of Salvino. The pair has gone on to win another 23 classes together, and their personal best score of 85.580% came from a win in the Grand Prix Freestyle CDI4* in March 2022. They finished seventh in the 2019 FEI Dressage World Cup Final, won the team silver medal at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, and helped the U.S. team qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games at the 2022 FEI World Championships in Herning, Denmark. “Helping our team win the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics has been Salvino’s greatest accomplishment,” said Lyle. “It was such an amazing team effort, and I was so incredibly proud of him for what he did for his country.” Lyle’s first impression of Salvino was one of “a noble presence and such great character.” On her first ride, Lyle said, “He had a lot of power and suppleness to ride, although it did take a while to get all his long legs under control.” While he was purchased as a horse that was expected to go to the grand prix level and be a team prospect, Lyle knew that there would be “no guarantees, and that many things must align perfectly to make a team.” She added, “We are beyond thankful that the partnership has ended up being as successful as it has been!”

BACK AT THE BARN WITH SALVINO
Throughout their years together, Lyle worked to harness Salvino’s power and big range of motion and make his body strong enough to maintain movements. Lyle noted that as Salvino became stronger, it was rewarding to see his scores climb slowly while his enthusiasm for the job remains apparent. “I think his ability to piaffe/passage is just incredible,” said Lyle of his best dressage movement. “He has such a classical, correct technique in the piaffe and so much power but he is still light in the bridle. It’s taken a lot of years to develop it to where it is today because he had so much power to learn to balance and get strong enough.” Salvino is a stallion, but he is “the ultimate gentleman,” said Lyle. “He is the most kind and generous soul you can imagine. I have never known a horse to try so hard for their rider, 100% of the time. We call him our ‘warrior’ because you can truly feel him fighting for you every time he goes down centerline. I am humbled to be able to ride such a special horse.” Salvino, who is known as “Vinny” in the barn, is yet to participate in any breeding program, but plans are in the works for when he retires from the sport. If Salvino’s napping schedule is any indication, he may be well suited for retirement.
WATERFRONT EQUESTRIAN ESTATE WITH ENDLESS POTENTIAL everything was good then he gobbles them down. He holds himself to a very high standard, even though I tell him that any and all mistakes are always my fault, never his.” While Salvino may have years left in his sport career, Lyle, Juliano, and their team will listen carefully to him and know when it’s time to stop. For now, fans of dressage and Salvino will be able to see him compete in Wellington.
“Every day at 10 a.m. — no matter where in the world we are — he lies down and takes a nap,” described Lyle. “We now even schedule his riding times and all other activities around his napping schedule.”
“Right now, he feels in great form and is so enthusiastic for work,” said Lyle. “The minute he shows us signs that it’s time to slow down, we will. He has already accomplished more than we could have dreamed of.
Salvino enjoys getting sugar cubes in schooling sessions, but takes any mistakes to heart. “A very funny thing about him is that if he thinks he made mistakes in the schooling session, such as we missed some flying changes or we had a hard time with something, he won’t eat the sugar at the end,” said Lyle. “However, when he knows
“I would like people to know that he is so much more than just a horse,” she continued. “His ability to understand the whole concept of competition is just incredible. He is the best teammate I could ever imagine and always has my back when I need him the most. It sounds cliché, but he is truly a best friend to me.”

Throughout their years together, Lyle worked to harness Salvino’s power and big range of motion and make his body strong enough to maintain movements. Lyle noted that as Salvino became stronger, it was rewarding to see his scores climb slowly while his enthusiasm for the job remains apparent. “I think his ability to piaffe/passage is just incredible,” said Lyle of his best dressage movement. “He has such a classical, correct technique in the piaffe and so much power but he is still light in the bridle.

PALM BEACH DRESSAGE DERBY
Palm Beach Dressage Derby
CROWNS NEW VICTOR
By Alice Collins
A
fter a five-year stranglehold on the Adequan® Palm Beach Derby, Germany’s Christoph Koschel has finally passed the baton — to his student Benjamin Ebeling. The Derby Prix St. Georges final took place under lights during the Grand Prix Freestyle during AGDF 8 in 2022, with a head-to-head between Ebeling (USA) and Germany’s Frederic Wandres, who had both emerged victorious from the semi-final knock-out rounds. In the Derby, riders perform a Prix St. Georges test on an unfamiliar horse, with just five minutes to warm up. For the final, both Ebeling and Wandres rode Harold Denton’s eight-year-old Atterupgaards Belafonte. The Danish gelding is a sale horse at Helgstrand Dressage, where he is ridden by Amanda Perkowski. Second to go, Ebeling conjured up a 71.838% out of the son of Bellissimo M, eclipsing the 70.698% laid down by Wandres, who rode with a large heart in the colors of the Ukrainian flag pinned to his back. Ebeling, who at 23 is the youngest-ever participant in the Derby, enthused: “It was really cool. Honestly, I was dreaming of doing this for years, since I first came to Wellington. I saw Christoph win it so many times, and I’ve been training with him for just as long. And it was really cool to kind of keep it in the family.” On the appeal of riding a strange horse in front of an audience after only a few minutes of familiarization, he added: “I think it’s about showing your mastership of the skills of dressage. I was confident, but of course I had some really good competitors, not to mention Freddie, who has literally beaten me 20 times in a row. So it was nice to finally beat him.”

2023 ADEQUAN ® GLOBAL DRESSAGE FESTIVAL
Both riders praised the horse, and the light-hearted nature of a Derby competition. “The horse offered a nice feeling and a good contact,” said Wandres. “The Derby thing should always be fun. For sure we are all competitors, and everyone wants to win, but my message today was this flag on my back for Ukraine. “We are having a good time here, but for other people and other horses, it’s very difficult at the moment. Especially for us in Germany, we are way closer to that whole thing, and the whole world needs to support them. For me it was important,” concluded Wandres, who is donating his prize money to support Ukraine. Don’t miss this year’s Palm Beach Dressage Derby, held during AGDF 8 on March 1-5.

arianne Helgstrand is the founder of the elegant jewellery designs commonly known under the brand name Helgstrand Jewellery, that represents conceptual designs of superior quality based on traditions of solid craftsmanship. Helgstrand Jewellery features unique designs that are highly demanded by quality-conscious buyers all over the globe. Marianne has always admired her grandmother’s brooch, which later held a functional and aesthetic meaning for the clothing worn at dressage shows. This idea led Marianne to act on her entrepreneurial thoughts and the dream about creating a piece of jewellery that could be used for riding competitions, which at the same time could appear stylish for
everyday and party wear. The seed of this idea turned out to be the beginning of Marianne’s jewellery firm.
Fiontini earrings 18K gold with brilliant cut diamonds.
As a sprouting seed, Marianne started dreaming about creating a collection of her own designs, inspired by the unique shapes of equestrian equipment. To Marianne, it was of the utmost importance to create something elegant, timeless, and unique, and even though many of the creative designs aspired to become a reality, it took some courage to make the leap to become an entrepreneur. To some, the process of transforming a creative thought to an exclusive piece of jewellery might be everlasting, but to Marianne it was more the art of limitation. In 2014 more of the unique designs became a reality, and the first complete collection was launched in December 2015.

or American athletes with aspirations to compete at the elite level, there is a long journey from competing at the national level to representing the U.S. at international championships. The US Equestrian (USEF) development pathways for each Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) discipline, supported by the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation, help bring promising athletes along each step of the way, ensuring the best opportunities for success. What’s more, these pathway programs are key to building a robust pipeline of talent and therefore our country’s competitive equestrian excellence on the greatest international stages now and in the future. In dressage, programs like the Robert Dover USEF Horsemastership Clinic Week (RDHCW), the North American Youth Championships (NAYC), the Under 25 (U25) division, prepare junior and up-and-coming riders for the higher levels, many of whom will compete at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival. International team outings, such as developing European tours with Nations Cup events, also help dressage athletes gain the experience needed to excel on senior Nations Cup Teams in the future.

NAYC provides juniors and young riders with a unique team experience and atmosphere while the annual RDHCW hosts 20 skilled riders, via invite only, to participate in lectures and lessons from renowned clinicians designed to assist in the development the next generation of U.S. dressage team talent. The U25 division has also become an increasingly important way for athletes between the ages of 16 and 25 (FEI age) to bridge the gap between the Young Rider and Grand Prix levels and provides access to USEF Dressage staff and coaches. Several of the athletes that participated in the RDHCW in January 2022 went on to have great achievements in team and individual classes at NAYC held in August 2022 in Traverse City, Michigan. The consistency of young dressage athletes across competitions and from year to year currently speaks to the success of the pathway programs and the caliber of talent in the high performance pipeline. For example, in an impressive feat, Lexie Kment and Montagny von der Heide and Kylee Kment with Honor — both of whom participated in RDHCW in January 2022 — earned the distinction of being two-time NAYC team gold medalists after winning the Junior Team Final in 2021 and

or American athletes with aspirations to compete at the elite level, there is a long journey from competing at the national level to representing the U.S. at international championships. The US Equestrian (USEF) development pathways for each Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) discipline, supported by the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation, help bring promising athletes along each step of the way, ensuring the best opportunities for success. What’s more, these pathway programs are key to building a robust pipeline of talent and therefore our country’s competitive equestrian excellence on the greatest international stages now and in the future. In dressage, programs like the Robert Dover USEF Horsemastership Clinic Week (RDHCW), the North American Youth Championships (NAYC), the Under 25 (U25) division, prepare junior and up-and-coming riders for the higher levels, many of whom will compete at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival. International team outings, such as developing European tours with Nations Cup events, also help dressage athletes gain the experience needed to excel on senior Nations Cup Teams in the future.

2022. Their Region 4 teammate Ella Fruchterman aboard Holts Le’mans was also on the gold-medal winning NAYC team with the Kments in 2021 and 2022. In March 2022, a team of three horse-and-rider combinations made their U.S. team debut in the FEI Intermediate II Test during the FEI Dressage Nations Cup Wellington CDIOU25 competition presented by Diamante Farms in Wellington, Florida. Quinn Iverson aboard Beckham 19, Nicole Scarpino and Lambada 224, and Kaylee Christensen and Chateau 28 were led by Chef d’Equipe Charlotte Bredahl. The team finished second with a final team score of 129.50 behind the team from Canada which claimed the top spot with a score of 133.323. Bredahl explained the importance of providing team opportunities for riders progressing up the high performance pathway. “The team did really well, given that we faced some adversity with the heat and first-time team jitters, which is why these experiences are so important for our up-and-coming athletes,” she detailed. “These combinations have such potential and always want to improve, which is exactly what we’re looking for from them.” While North American team experience is critical, competing abroad is equally if not more important as athletes progress along the high performance pathway. Three U.S. Young Riders concluded their month-long European tour with an eighth-place finish at Hagen CDIOY held at Future Champions in Hagen, Germany, from June 14–19, 2022. The CDIOY division included 26 talented horse-and-rider combinations from 10 different countries. The team was led by Chef d’Equipe George Williams. Over

the course of the competition, Williams was pleased to see improved rides from Erin Nichols, Mackenzie Peer, and Christian Simonson. “After a bit of a rocky start in the Team Test, I was proud and happy with how our riders came back with strong performances for the Individual Test,” explained Williams. “It was exciting to see Christian prove how competitive we can be by improving on last year’s performance, earning the highest scores ever for a U.S. rider in this show, and placing fifth in the Individual and fourth in the Freestyle.” Williams continued on to describe the event’s significance along the pathway. “Future Champions has become an important part of our program,” he explained. “It is such a great experience for our young athletes. Not only do they go head to head against the other top countries, but they also do it on the Europeans’ home turf.” The first dressage pathway program in 2023 will be the Robert Dover USEF Horsemastership Clinic Week presented by Zen Elite Equestrian Center running January 3-8 at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival in Wellington, Florida.
