Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Hand waving frantically in air ... I just got confirmation from the clinic's organizer that I am definitely "in" the Susanne von Dietze clinic this October. In case you don't recognize her name, or if you do but can't quite place her, this might help! Yep. That's right. Susanne von Dietze is currently writing "The Clinic" column in Dressage Today. How lucky am I to get to ride with her? And, to make the deal even sweeter, it's a two-day event!
I don't have anything interesting to say right now, of course, but rest assured that there will be a full write up after the fact. If you want more information, like where and when, send me an email, and I'll give you the low down. Seriously excited!

You would be surprised, Sandra. There are many clinicians out there will to work with us lower level riders. Start checking around. I have found that clinics are my absolute favorite part of dressage. They're like going to a show without the drama. You get to go someplace with a group of people, your pony gets to look pretty, you get a great lesson, and you don't get kicked out of the arena 5 minutes later. Money well spent!

I haven't read her book, but I love her supportive comments in DT. My Tehachapi trainer says she is super kind in person. I am really looking forward to it. Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse. After helping me earn a USDF Bronze medal in the summer of 2020, he is now semi-retired. Speedy is a 2004, 15'1 hand, purebred Arabian gelding. His Arabian Horse Registry name is G Ima Starr FA.
About IzzyIzzy was started as a four-year old and then spent the next 18 months in pasture growing up. I bought him as a six-year old, and together, we are showing at the lower levels. He is a 2008, 16'3 hand warmblood gelding. His Rheinland Pfalz-saar International (RPSI) name is Imperioso.
