St. Andrews has qualified riders for three National Intercollegiate Championships this spring. These competitions are the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) at the Kentucky Horse Park, May 5 -8 for hunter seat and western and the Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) National Championships at Canterbury Show Place in Florida April 30 – May 1.
Hunter Seat Team members are Audrey Bolte, Rob Jacobs, Katie Hansen, Kali Cram, Sami Cram, Jennifer Callahan, Miranda Wright and Blake Liljestrand. Rob Jacobs will also be competing for the Cacchione Cup and Katie Hansen will be representing St. Andrews as an individual in the Open Fences division. Coach Ashley Duda said that the team’s goal at the beginning of the year was to place in the top five at Nationals. She believes this is possible. “This is a much stronger team than I had at Nationals five years ago when I coached for Kansas State. These students really want to win, they are self-motivated and I don’t have to tell them to work hard. If all the riders are “on” and everything falls into place we can bring everything home. We have placed second and third at two National tournaments and like I said they really want to win,” then she added with a laugh, “and the coach is more knowledgeable than five years ago!”
Coach Duda will continue with the regime of no stirrup work, lunge lessons and continual improvement of the rider’s positions in the saddle. “I am working with eight different personalities and each one needs something different. Some need more pumping up than others.” Coach Duda said that confidence in one’s ability to perform well at Nationals is really important. “This group has competed together all year and should feel very confident but it can be hard convincing people at this level that they can win. At the end of the day our riders will be much stronger because of this experience. Once they are in the ring all I can do is trust that our practices have given them the tools to react to whatever comes up with the horse they are riding. It is totally up to them, I find it hard to watch the over fences and usually watch the horse’s footprints to see if they are straight on course and have a good distance to the fence.”
Rob Jacobs is competing in the Cacchione Cup which is awarded to the National Individual Hunter Seat High Point Rider. “Most of the riders in the Cacchione Cup have a background in the 3’6” medal classes prior to coming to college,” said Coach Duda. “Rob’s background prior to college was jumping 2’6” courses on well trained horses and his position was not solid. He has come a long way in four years! He has the ability to lay down a beautiful over fences ride.” Coach Duda’s final comment was that given all the preparation the competition has an element of luck because you draw for the horse you ride.
Coach Carla Wennburg has two riders headed to IHSA Nationals to represent St. Andrews as individuals in western. They are senior Leah Davison in Beginning Walk/Jog and Brittany Powell in Intermediate Horsemanship. Coach Wennburg’s strategy is similar to Coach Duda’s when it comes to preparing her riders. “We have been working on body position, strengthening and correct design of position all year. Confidence is important at this point, winning is more about your mental approach than your physical approach. The horses can be good or bad and you have to be ready to deal with every situation. The patterns will be more intricate at Nationals plus the riders must convince the judge that they have a beautiful position and can ride softly. For Leah especially being 6’1” she stands out in the ring so that first impression is really important. The riders have to draw a horse that they can ride well, have a consistent performance on the rail and demonstrate an excellent pattern while exhibiting poise and confidence.”
Coach Wennburg is also a judge and she said that when she is watching her riders compete she thinks and reacts like a judge. “I analyze everything and know what is going on. It gets to be emotional too when you have worked so hard to get to this point and then the element of luck from the horse draw might help you or not. It sets you up for a lot of turmoil. I have to keep it in perspective and remind myself that neither my rider or I trained the horse.”
The IDA National Championships hosted by the University of Florida are where sophomore Lindsey Agaliotis and coach Jackie Dwelle are headed at the end of April. “I really thought we would qualify our team this year,” said Coach Dwelle. “When Averett University beat us by a tiny margin for the team title I was really disappointed because I believed we were strong enough to come out on top. They showed me! I am really excited to be travelling to Nationals with Lindsey representing SAPC in the Upper Training division. She has worked really hard to develop her horsemanship on all levels and has been a true leader for our team. Lindsey has been riding every day on as many different horses as possible to refine and hone her skills. Probably the biggest unknown for us is how Lindsey will cope with the pressures of competing at Nationals. It is different than a regular show and she has never been under that kind of pressure before. We have talked about it and discussed ways I can help her on competition day to stay calm and focused on her riding. Once she is in the competition ring I will be riding along with her and holding my breath! That is the hardest part of coaching because there is nothing I can do if things go wrong it is all up to the rider.”
Coach Dwelle went on to talk about her plans for the 2012 National competition. “When our regular season was over before spring break I started to look forward to 2012 and tried to figure out how we could be better next year. I came up with the Secret Squirrel Training Squad (there is a story behind the name) which required team members to submit applications for admission into the squad. I accepted eight riders and with the help of my two graduating seniors we have met consistently on Fridays and Saturdays to do lunge lessons and ride in halters bareback. The squad was also required to compete at Showing Under the Stars and several of them also competed at Antares to get more time in the competitive arena. It has been very successful, not only have the riders improved but we have developed several of the dressage horses into solid lunge horses.”
All three coaches agree that National Championships create a goal for a team to work towards. In addition this type of competition helps riders become more comfortable in a pressure situation and ultimately develops them to be effective stylish horsemen.

ANRC Results and Rider Comments
It took a while to tabulate the final ANRC results but here they are. Riders Jen Callahan and Allie McGraw share their experience. This is what Jen said about the weekend.
ANRC is more than an intercollegiate horse show. It was hours of work, dedication, sweat, and tears, but every minute was worth it in the end. Over the course of a semester it has broadened my horsemanship skills, improved my riding, and created undeniable bonds with my teammates and my horse. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience and a fabulous way to conclude my senior year at SAPC.
Here are Allie's comments.
The ANRC experience was an eye opener for me to a National Competition, and finally all of the hard work we put forward boiled down to three events in the ring in a two day span. It was nerve- racking but I felt very confident going into the ring after all the help from my trainer Lindsey Crowther and my teammates, placing 8th overall individually in the Junior Varsity division was a great accomplishment, but what was even more rewarding was to see how far my horse Rodin and I had come, and how much of an improvement we had made together from day one.

Local Horse Farm Destroyed by Tornado
The Pellitier family lost everything in the tornado that wiped out Misty Creek Ranch in Sanford Saturday. Dany, Tania and their two small boys are fine but they lost everything, their home, ranch, and many wonderful reining horses. Other horses have been transported to NCSU Veterinary School for treatment and care. The tornado left nothing standing.

ANRC 2011
Eight riders, nine horses, one chef d’equip, three coaches, one Veterinarian, numerous parents and one surprise visitor made the trip to Savannah College of Art and Design to compete in the American National Riding Commission (ANRC) National Intercollegiate Equitation Championships April 13 – 17. “The Ronald C. Waranch Equestrian Center is absolutely beautiful.” said Coach Ashley Duda.
As with most intercollegiate competition the coaches meet to discuss logistics etc. for the event prior to the start of competition. This meeting ran until about 7:15 on Friday evening after which the coaches returned to the barn to meet up with the riders and check on the horses. They found Rob tending to Ozzie who had ripped open his right bottom eyelid. Fortunately with SAPC’s Veterinarian Dr. Kellam in attendance the injury was quickly sutured. The SCAD staff even allowed Ozzie to stay in the main barn which was described by Coach McElveen as the horse Taj Mahal with luxury horse suites.
This is the first year that ANRC has offered two divisions. The Novice division competes at 2’6” and the National division at 3’. All competitors are allotted schooling time for the three phases giving the riders and coaches the opportunity to plan their strategies for each of the three ridden phases. The competition starts with a theory test. In the novice division Jennifer Callahan won this phase with a score of 96%. In the National division senior Audrey Hayden scored 97.1% to earn third place and senior Rob Jacobs placed 7th with a score of 93.1%.
Long time friend of the St. Andrews equestrian program and frequent clinician for hunter seat riders Scot Evans made a surprise visit to the competition. “I was talking to Scot on the phone Friday and asking about his plans for the weekend,” said Coach McElveen. “He said, I thought I’d spend the weekend in Savannah! What a wonderful surprise! He was so helpful with the riders. Rob has ridden with Scot for four years and Katie, Kim, Audrey and Jenn the last two years. Scot was able to give Coach Duda some great advice and gave all our competitors a great pep talk.”
The dressage sportif phase is ridden in a large arena with dressage letters, a trot fence and a canter fence. Junior Kim Graves riding her own horse for the National team had an absolutely stunning ride which would have probably been in the top placings in the division had she not made a walk transition in the wrong place in the ring and lost her counter canter lead. For the Novice division Alexandra Fullerton had a challenging ride on Glenn “who was in the grumpiest mood I have ever seen” said Coach McElveen. “Alexandra had to be conservative and tactful so as not to make him angry.”
The hunter trials equitation phase started early Sunday morning followed by the hunter seat equitation medal course in the afternoon. Kim Graves earned the highest St. Andrews score in the hunter trials equitation putting her in the top five for that phase, she also earned a top ten placing in the medal phase. “Stage fright” was an unexpected problem for Rob who has represented St. Andrews many times in competition. While Rob and Katie each had some issues in the hunter trials phase, they came back strong in the Medal phase and this competition is a great primer for IHSA Nationals the first week of May where Rob will compete as part of the St. Andrews hunter seat team and ride for the prestigious Cacchione Cup and Katie will compete in the Individual Open Fences.”
Many of the rider’s families came to the competition including Alie’s parents, Katie’s parents and brother, Rob’s parents, Audrey Bolte’s Mom and Audrey Hayden’s Mom who was excited to let Coach McElveen know that she was willing to serve as the IHSA Awards Coordinator in 2012 when St. Andrews hosts IHSA Nationals. “I am so grateful for the support of the parents, staff, and Scot.” said Coach McElveen. “I also want to thank Karen Gruninger who is here as our Chef d’Equip. She has worked 12 – 14 hour days and done a fantastic job. She was the backbone of the team, planning horse feedings around competitive ride times, getting all the barn management done on time and knowing the rules of the competition to make sure everyone was in compliance. She was fabulous.”
Coach McElveen must have done a pretty good job too as she was awarded the United States Hunter Jumper Association Affiliate ANRC Instructor of the Year Award. This award recognizes an outstanding riding instructor who is dedicated to teaching the Forward Riding System, a dedicated teacher who has spent time “in the ring” encouraging love and growth of forward riding to entry level riders, primarily at unrecognized competition level. Not expecting to receive an award Coach McElveen was caught with a plate of food in her hand at the awards luncheon. Ever resourceful she used the silver tray that she was awarded to carry the food back to her table.
Calculating the final results can be a complicated process which led to some mix-ups at the end of the competition when errors occurred with the calculation. However, even this challenge did not diminish the wonderful competition. The St. Andrews novice team of Jen Callahan, Alie McGraw and Alexandra Fullerton placed 4th in their division, the Nationals team Rob Jacobs, Kim Graves and Katie Hansen placed 6th along with Nationals individual riders Audrey Hayden and Audrey Bolte.

Weekend Update
We were fortunate that the devastating storms that hit North Carolina yesterday did relatively little damage in Scotland County. Our prayers go out to those who lost their homes and the families of the people killed in the Fayetteville, Raleigh and Sanford areas.
The ANRC Squad competing at the Savannah College or Art and Design were lucky with the weather mostly bypassing the event. After the dressage sportif phase of the competition the Novice team is standing in 3rd and the National team is standing in 6th with only a 10 point difference between them and SCAD who stands in first. Sounds like the competition is wide open going into the outside and medal courses today. On Thursday senior Jennifer Callahan scored 96% on the written test leading the Novice team to win the written phase of the competition.
Today, the competition begins at 8:18 with Allie McGraw and Rodin on the outside course. The competition will wrap up this afternoon with the medal course.
At home we also had to reschedule the Ride-Like-A-Knight therapeutic horsemanship show for today. The fun starts at 12:00 with demos from the Natural Horsemanship class, the dressage team and reiner Kelsey Moody. The change in schedule allowed Lenny and I to finish up a project Max and I had been working on. You can view Max’s Guided Tour of the SAPC Equestrian Center at,

What is ANRC and Why Does it Matter?
Every year St. Andrews fields a team at the ANRC National Championships. Historically, we have been very successful at this competition yet outside of college circles only the most dedicated horsemen understand what ANRC is all about. As we prepare to send our eight representatives to Savannah this weekend for this year’s competition it is a great time to share with the greater community what ANRC is and why we take it so seriously.
ANRC stands for The American National Riding Commission. ANRC has a rich history reaching back more than 60 years and undergoing various name changes but never losing its strong focus on correct hunter seat equitation. The theories and techniques that are taught reflect the teaching on one very determined Russian Calvary officer who came to America in the 1920s with literally nothing including no understanding of the English language. Captain Vladimir Littaur developed a riding system focusing on position, control and schooling. His system became known as the forward system of riding and at the three levels he defined offers a system of riding and training to everyone from the casual recreational rider up to the serious professional trainer. Horsehold names such as George Morris, Joe Fargis and Lendon Gray embrace the forward system for its simplicity and effectiveness.
The Forward System of Riding focuses on cooperation between horse and rider developed through a systematic approach to riding and training. The system starts with communication between horse and rider that focuses on gross motor skills and clear aids such as a tapping leg. As the horse and rider progress they learn refined aids for example the squeezing leg. With the development of the aids comes improved balance, timing and coordination leading to the appearance of horse and rider moving as one.
ANRC has developed a rider certification system to allow riders to track their progress starting with an Introductory level through nine progressive levels to National Judge. The certification process offers participants professional credentials as well as a clearly defined progression. Events called Equitrials are held for evaluation purposes and riders competing in the National Championships can earn a rating if they sufficient scores.
Why is this important to the instructional program at St. Andrews? Simply put it provides a logical framework for teaching. As riders progress from the elementary level of control into the intermediate level of control they develop refinement and grace in the saddle as well as becoming effective on a variety of horses. The system develops horsemen not just riders. At St. Andrews we teach the forward system to all riders including those in our western and dressage programs. The students that take this training to heart often graduate to become successful trainers or instructors. Daniel Geitner, SAPC alum, is an example in the competitive world of show jumping who came through the system.
The ANRC National Championships are hosted every year by different colleges. The strongest riders in the SAPC program are selected to represent their peers in this challenging competition. They must complete a written test on theory and stable management. The riding phases of the competition consist of a dressage sportif test (similar to a dressage test but including a trot and a canter fence), an outdoor course (think hunter trails) and a medal course (stadium). All riding phases are judged on equitation (defined as the art or act of riding a horse –we judge artistry or style). The quality of the horse certainly does come into the judging which can be advantageous for students with deep pockets who can afford a high quality equine. A couple of our riders have their own horse but the others are competing on school owned horses.
So it is a big deal! This is what we teach every day not just in the riding ring but in the classroom too. It is a system that we embrace to develop our riders into horsemen and our horses into solid equine professors that do the brunt of the teaching for us!
Tomorrow the 2011 squad leaves for Savannah College of Art and Design for this year’s competition. Good luck to all!

Showing Under the Stars: “Firsts” & “Lasts” (Also known as “We Will Miss Our Seniors”)
Showing Under the Stars is different every time and is often a place of “firsts.” First over fences class for someone, first western horsemanship class etc. This Friday evening the show was also a place of “lasts” being the last S.U.S. for many seniors. Event organizer Heather Wile recognized the Seniors listing them in the program and handing each one a flower as they exited the ring. The theme for the evening was baseball and several horses showed with baseballs drawn on their rumps.
The evening kicked off with the community lesson class. The riders decorated their horses for Easter with eggs on the rider’s shoes and the horse’s tails braided with rabbit tails. This class was followed by a series of freestyle dressage rides performed to music. Senior Donna Fowble paired with junior Andrea Tito to do a fun ride to music from Beauty and the Beast. Leah Davison left everyone very emotional with a bareback western ride on Tony that was dedicated to the instructors and coaches which she called her “Goodbye Ride”. She rode to a Carrie Underwood tune using elements from a reining pattern to involve the crowd. Kate Sorgenfrei rode in her last S.U.S doing her first dressage test on Sockie. Next weekend Kate pairs with Sockie again for a Natural Horsemanship demonstration at the Ride-Like-A-Knight horse show.
In the western horsemanship classes Nationals qualifier Brittany Powell competed in her cowboy hat (for practice) standing out among the standard riding helmets. The hunter seat classes included ANRC riders preparing for next weekend. Senior Marissa Romaniello completed the over fences class earning second place on Quincy to fulfill her dream of competing over fences at SAPC. The evening ended with the Ride-A-Buck class which has become a favorite with everyone. Ride-Like-A-Knight program director Megan Ellis riding Timmie beat senior Leah Davison after a long session of posting trot.
The evening was very “St. Andrews” with alum Gwen Titus judging, alum Mike Kryszak announcing, and staff and faculty in attendance to cheer the riders on. Gwen helped start the western program several years ago as part of an internship and Mike teaches in the local school system. The audience included Lorrie Renker who started the Therapeutic Horsemanship Program at SAPC and just happened to be visiting the program this weekend.

IHSA Hunter Seat Regionals
In addition to representing the region as a team at zones next weekend Coach Ashley Duda qualified several individuals at the Regional finals hosted today at SAPC. The Equestrian center was buzzing for the final IHSA home show of the year. We also had a large gathering for open house which coincided with the regional finals. Students and their parents were able to observe the SAPC team in action both in the ring and as a group working together to host a top rate horse show.
At the awards luncheon ribbons and trophies for the year were awarded. Rob Jacobs took first place in the Cacchione Cup followed by Katie Hansen in second and Audrey Bolte in sixth place. SAPC’s horse Glenn was awarded the Horse of the Year trophy an honor voted on by the regional coaches.
The IHSA team had a great year with much success. I asked Coach Duda what was the hardest part of being an IHSA coach. She laughed and said, “Having no control! Once they are in the ring you have to have confidence that your preparation will pay off. The rider has to be prepared to answer any questions that arise during the class.” A good illustration of one definition of “luck” – where hard work meets opportunity!
Individual riders moving onto zones - Audrey Bolte, Audrey Hayden, Rob Jacobs, Katie Hansen, Kali Cram, Jessica Bitz-Richards, Kim Graves, Sami Cram, Jodi Brinn – Congratulations!
