29 Dec 20 Days in Rio
By Parrish Frisbee Hello hello to all of my SEDA friends and readers! I’m writing this from my new base in Northern Illinois, where winter will be upon us much too soon. But for now, I’m going to give a recap of warmer travels I made in August, to volunteer at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games for our beloved equestrian sport.
05 Jul Dances with Horses
By Nicole Landreneau
In April, SEDA hosted a freestyle clinic with Cynthia Collins of Luna Tunes Freestyles at Equi-Best Equestrian Center in Covington, LA. There were a decent number of participants (always room for more!) and several auditors who took advantage of the opportunity to learn how to do a musical freestyle. I didn’t participate, but I did audit and sat in on the education session, too. It was an enlightening experience!

Scholarship Recipient Isabella Rodwig
When I was 12 years old, I attended my first dressage show (as a spectator), and I saw Mrs. Vicky Busch riding a beautiful rendition of a Fourth Level test.

2015 USDF Convention in Las Vegas by Nicole Landreneau
It was an honor to represent SEDA at the USDF Convention in Las Vegas in December. Convention is always an interesting experience: somewhat predictable, but always a few surprises. As the delegate for SEDA, I am required to attend the two Region 9 meetings held at Convention. The first day is always a long meeting, with much to cover and, typically, a few visitors come in. This time, the visitor was a representative from The Dressage Foundation. This worthy organization does a lot to provide money for dressage education at all levels.
