California Competitions
The USEF Dressage Department is re-authorizing the use of alternative saddlery inspection procedures (as noted in USEF DR126) in California due to recent EHV-1 outbreaks.
The USEF Dressage Department recommends that ring stewards conduct a visual check of the horses, with no touching of the horse or any equipment. Shortly after their ride and after horses are returned to the stables and bridles removed, a steward should conduct a visual examination of bits for the required number of horses in each class without physical contact with any saddlery or the horses. It is recommended that a steward be posted in the stable area at designated times so that competitors can bring their bridles for inspection.
Please note horses from the affected state that travel to other states for competition should also be included in this category of visual inspections described above.
The USEF Dressage Department will notify competitions and officials when normal protocol for saddlery inspections must be resumed.
Please let us know if you have any questions. hgriffin@usef.org

SHANNON
CORRECT POSITION FOR HORSE AND RIDER THROUGH THE LEVELS
A Lifetime of Passion - “I love my work, but this is more than a job for me. I love the sport of dressage. I’ve learned over the years that competition horses are complex athletes who need more than talent and good training”. This is more than just position, it is creating a team; it is matching the horse and rider aids for greater teamwork.
ALFREDO

He is currently working with Steffen Peters, also Hilda Gurney for 20 years, and many other top riders on the West Coast including Jan Ebeling,and Leslie Morse.
KEVIN
SPORT HORSES IN HAND
At the age of fifteen, I got a job as a groom for the auction at Glenwood Farms in Wilton, California. I was able to stay on and learned all aspects of working on a breeding farm. In 2003, my wife Erika and I started our own breeding, training, and sales business in conjunction with Lucchetti Ranch in Wilton. There we run our training and sales program, KEFA Performance Horses, and manage the
Lucchetti Ranch breeding program.
