Clinician Chris Ryan, Susan and FEH Co-chair Robin Walker |
While in Florida, the big project was the Young Horse
Symposium held in Ocala from February 20th thru 22nd. This symposium was a combination of efforts
from the USEA’s Instructor
Certification Program (ICP) along with the Future Event Horse (FEH) and Young Event Horse (YEH)
Programs. The symposium featured some of the world’s best clinicians including
Chris Burton, Chris Ryan, and Leslie Law, along with FEH/YEH committee chairs
Robin Walker, Marilyn Payne and Susan. To read summaries of the symposium,
click on these great articles by the USEA:
SGW Dressage students continue to thrive even in the off
season! We received word that Nan
Schumaker will be receiving the Touch of Class Award presented by the Maryland Horse
Industry Board to honor her and Kozi’s (aka La Cosa Nostra) 2016
achievements. We haven’t received word as to when Nan will be receiving her
award, but we hope to share photos from the ceremony in a future blog!
The other big news on the horse front is that there are plans
to do an embryo transfer from Quinn, and using Rev as the carrier. Diamond Stud,
a Canadian stallion by Diamond Hit, is the first choice of stallions. So
hopefully all the stars align to make this happen.
While Susan has been in Florida, her horses have been
staying Domino Equestrian
in Maryland. Susan was delighted when her student Kat Sepka stopped by to see
them and sent her these photos to make her laugh:

While Susan is always available for lessons at her farm, she
often travels for clinics as well. Below is a quick list of upcoming clinic
dates … be sure to email the organizers if you’d like to join in!
Susan will also be at the FEI Judges Seminar at Galway Downs in California from March 29th
thru April 2nd, and judging at the Chattahoochee Hills CIC in Georgia
from April 6th thru 9th. If you’re at either event, be
sure to say hi!
