Elizabeth J. Chilcott commented on William Micklem's blog post 'William Micklem says WILL WE FACE FACTS REGARDING DRESSAGE AND JUMPING?'
Jack was more concerned with the ability of upper level Event horses galloping, not jumping per se. I know that some golfers will not use swimming as an exercise as the muscles used in each act differently.
Elizabeth J. Chilcott commented on Catherine Chamberlain's group 'DRESSAGE FANATICS!!!'
Years ago here in the USA in what was then called Combined Training (Eventing) the recognized competitions started at what is now Training level. Unrecognized competitions began offering PreTraining for those not quite up to that level yet.…

Was at the WEG and although Totilas was amazing I do not think he deserved a 91% considering he broke on an extension.
Elizabeth J. Chilcott replied to Barbara F.'s discussion 'Very sad news in the eventing world' in the group Everything Eventing!!
Horrible news to be sure. Unfortunately there is no way to make what in inherently a dangerous sport and these type of accidents will always be in the background waiting to happen. I applaud the sport for all the strides it has taken in especially…
Elizabeth J. Chilcott commented on Patti at OMEGA ALPHA's video
Years ago Michael Handler (his father was Hans Handler late Director of the Spanish Riding School) used to do a very informative and amusing lecture on the position of the horse's back using a coat hanger.

I have less issue with the one on the gray as the reins were loose much of the time and the horse did not appear to be uncomfortable, but the bay with the double bridle made me somewhat sick.
Elizabeth J. Chilcott replied to Hope Walden's discussion 'Games Ponies' in the group The Eventers
go to USPC site and look up the Games rules as there are rules about size compatibility.

Not true....there is medical evidence of the damage this type of riding does. Check out the material by Dr. Gerd Hueschmann and also take a look at Jean Luc Cornille's blog here on Barn Mice. Makes my neck hurt just thinking about it.

Interestingly, i saw the same thing with the flying changes in the Sydney Olympics. It was the first time that flying changes were in the advanced test in Eventing and several people, whose horses were not ready(one assumes), opted to do a simple…

I was chatting with an "I" judge at the annual USEA meeting and I asked how Anky could get even a 4 for the final halt/salute when the horse never once stood still. Answer: ......she saluted.

I also have to agree that the judging is a main source of the problem. You can use all kinds of tricks to create "leg movers". If the judge cannot (or will not) see that the movement is not coming from the use of the horse's back and…
Elizabeth J. Chilcott replied to Catherine Chamberlain's discussion 'Your Favorite Clinician' in the group DRESSAGE FANATICS!!!
Dr. Van Schaik was indeed one of the great classical trainers years ago. Two others from that era I would like to mention are Franz Rochovanski who had been Head Rider of the Spanish Riding School. Hilda Gurney credits Roch with her ability to get…

Interestingly enough what Rollkur does physically to the horse has already been defined. Check Jean Luc Cornille's blog.

Better late than never. Now if they would start judging the way the stated purposes of the tests as stated. As others have mentioned on other topics, there are lots of despicable training that goes on behind the barn. But when the proponents of such…
Elizabeth J. Chilcott replied to mary swanson's discussion 'Good books for beginning dressage rider'
I would recommend any of the Alois Podhajsky books......"My horses , my teachers" is one. He was one of the last riding Directors of the Spanish Riding School and the one the Walt Disney Movie was about.
Elizabeth J. Chilcott replied to Laura Coffey's discussion 'Ride with an Ipod?' in the group DRESSAGE FANATICS!!!
Years ago before there was a USDF there was an organization called the American Dressage Institute founded by Migi Serrell. For a month each summer she had two sessions in Saratoga Springts, NY with instructors all connected to the Spanish Riding…
