D ear Noda Members,
DON’T BE JUST A PASSENGER - BE A PART OF THE CREW!!!!
2015 is my last year as President of Northern Ohio Dressage Association. It is also Niki Sackman’s last year as Vice President. On September 27th, NODA will hold an open meeting at Fieldstone Farm Therapeutic Riding Center in Chagrin Falls from 5PM to 8PM. At that meeting we will take nominations from the floor for the Executive Board. WE NEED MEMBERS TO STEP UP IF NODA IS TO SURVIVE SUCCESSFULLY INTO THE FUTURE.
Both Niki and I want to express our gratitude and appreciation to the NODA Board and membership for their support over the last 4 years. It has been a great experience for both of us. If we didn’t think it was time for a change, we would run again. But as we all know, change is good and necessary in any organization. It is time for new people to step up and step in to guide NODA. New people bring fresh ideas that will add energy to the organization. NODA really needs to be energized. The hope is that new officers will spark more interest and involvement to carry the organization into the future.
THE PROBLEM: The number of members who are actually involved is too small to successfully run an organization our size. We need leaders who have the ability to energize the masses and entice them to bring their expertise, ideas and time to the organization. Leaders who will express to the membership the importance and need for more individual involvement. I know that most members don’t want to see NODA slowly disappear, and I also feel
confident that NODA’s membership will come together to assure the continuance of our organization and its educational mission.
What is NODA’s MISSION?
……”to promote and further interest in the understanding of dressage through education, active participation and support of local, regional, and national dressage activities”, By supporting the education of the rider we support the welfare of the horse. I am certain that each of you agree with this mission and just need to know and understand that your help is needed.
Both Niki and I will remain active as members of the board and/or committees and we will continue to work hard. We are both committed to NODA and to producing great Recognized Shows next year and beyond, as well as updating our schooling show series. We also are interested in putting together a USDF “L” Program in the near future. (Please note the current survey on the subject is available on the website and in this issue of the NODA News.) Niki and I, as well as the rest of the experienced board will be available to help and support new officers, so don’t let inexperience with the NODA board keep you from making a difference. You may also help NODA in one of the committee openings we have: Silent Auction Chair, Recognized Shows Assistant Volunteer Coordinator, Schooling Show Volunteer Coordinator or Schooling Show Committee Chair, to name just a few.
It’s a fact that every single one of us is busy beyond words. It is also a fact that an energized and more active membership spreads the time commitment over more individuals, ultimately producing a more balanced organization able to meet the needs and desires of the membership.

~ Important message from your NODA President ~
Nominations OPEN for the Executive Board
We Need Candidates! We Need You!
New NODA President, [Your Name Here], Begins 2-Year Term January 1, 2016
Dear NODA Members,
This is an election year and NODA members must put together a slate of officer candidates in September that will be voted on by the membership. Those elected will serve for two years beginning in 2016. Members will be electing President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, along with five Directors at Large (DAL).
This is my last year as President. I will continue to work very hard for NODA and its goals and interests, but it is time to give someone else an opportunity to give NODA new energy, to help NODA figure out how to stand out in the crowd of competition for each member’s time.
It is absolutely necessary that there be some turnover of board members in any organization. Without turnover, there is stagnation. To build a better future, we must learn from the past, but not live in it. NODA must be progressive and figure out how to appeal to members in a way that will encourage involvement in educational events and schooling shows, as well as at the committee and board levels.
No one has stepped up to run for President, so we need your help. You do not have to be a current or past board member to be eligible to run for President or any other office.
Do you want to see and/or be a part of NODA’s successful progress into the future?
Do you ever wish that NODA did “X” or more “Y”?
Are you unhappy with the current focus/emphasis of the organization?
Do you find that you have more complaints about NODA than praise?
If you have answered “yes” to any of the questions above, then please consider becoming more involved with NODA. NODA needs your help to become all it can be.
NODA’s Annual Open Meeting September 27, 2015 Fieldstone Farms TRC 5 to 8 pm
Agenda: dinner, short business meeting, election nominations from the floor, and equine presentation
Need more information about running for office? Contact me at [email protected] or NODA’s Parliamentarian, Dale Lappert at [email protected]
Thank you for your attention,
Dee Liebenthal, President Northern Ohio Dressage Association www.nodarider.org

I recently had the last minute pleasure of riding in a clinic with Jan Ebeling at Topline Stables at Walden. Janeen has always put on great clinics, and I am grateful for her passion
for bringing talented clinicians to the Northeast Ohio area! The horse I brought to my one-day session was my 11 year old Swedish gelding, Viggo, who I have only had for a few months. Although he is schooling much of the Grand Prix, we have been competing at 4th level and the Prix St. George in order to slowly bring him up to the big tour. Jan gave us some wonderful pieces of advice for our daily work sessions. Below are a few that stood out.
It is very important to work the horse’s walk. From the minute you swing your leg over to the minute you hop off, schooling the
walk is going to help you in the ring. When warming up and cooling down, allow ample time for the horse to walk around, and encourage him to stretch into a very long rein, but with a brisk marching pace. He should not be running away, but shouldn’t be lollygagging around. When you pick up the reins, spend lots of time moving the horse off the leg, but not necessarily manipulating the neck.
Speaking of the neck, Jan also said a lot about not over-
bending the neck. I am really strong on my right side, and have a tendency to overbend the horse to the right. Jan said not only do I need to be conscientious of too much bend, but don’t necessarily correct it by counter-bending. Try to keep the horse exactly straight. For Viggo, this is especially important in the changes, which can get crooked (usually because I have him bent to the right). For the half passes, point the nose at the wall, but then ride the half pass with the legs as much as possible and don’t readjust the neck.
The last great piece of advice was for working the piaffe. Everyone has a different style for teaching piaffe, but Jan wanted to “trick” the horse into making the steps, by halting and asking him to square the hind legs with a light tapping leg. What started as a shuffle quickly became more active behind until the horse was able to stay relatively in place. After this, of course, Viggo was rewarded with a pat and long rein. J
I have found that clinics are only as valuable as you make them. If you can come with a plan of what to work on, an open mind, and a positive work attitude, you will ALWAYS come away with something useful. Having never ridden with Jan before, I was impressed and pleased with his wonderful demeanor, and non-intimidating teaching style. I highly recommend him!
THANK YOU to our hardworking and dedicated
Recognized Show Committee.
Moving the our Recognized Shows to Chagrin Valley Farms couldn't have happened without this
wonderful group of volunteer committee members. Thank you is not enough!!!
Tips from Jan Ebeling by Cassandra Hummert
Joan Harris Passes Away
We are sad to say that Joan Harris, former riding coach and Director of Lake Erie College’s Equestrian Center during the 1980’s, passed away on August 13th at the age of 85. She was living in Dereham, Norfolk, UK. Many local equestrians and former Lake Erie College students have fond memories of her and her influence. We are told that she was still teaching in the UK into 2014. If anyone would like to send a card, we have provided the name and address of Joan’s daughter and a link to the obituary.

USDF “L” Program – Survey
Hello!
Northern Ohio Dressage Association is doing research on the potential interest and feasibility of offering the USDF “L” Program in
NE Ohio. Noda’s last “L” program was held in late 2002/2003 and was well attended by both participants and auditors. We need
your help to determine if it’s time for another.
Program information as well as participant requirements can be found on the USDF Website at: http://www.usdf.org/docs/
education/judge-training/lprogram/ParticipantInformation.pdf
Requirements change on April 15th 2016. It is important that you are aware of the changes if you are interested in being a
participant.
If there is enough interest and a venue available, NODA would like to plan on doing the program in 2017. Depending on how things
work out, there is a possibility we could start in the 2nd half of 2016.
If you are interested in being a participant or an auditor, please fill out the form below and email by September 30, 2015, to: Marcia

MEMBER PERK! Classified ADs
Classified ads are one of the many “perks” of NODA membership. As a member you can run an ad (60 words or less) in our newsletter and web-site for FREE! An ad will run for two issues and then, if you’d like, you can run another ad! If you’d like to add a photo, it’s only $5/issue. So far this year, NODA classified ads have helped our members sell horses, tack, apparel, and trail-ers. Ads have also helped trainers find more stu-dents and barns to fill more stalls. You can also use ads to help you find something you’ve been searching for– such as the perfect horse to lease or a specific type of used saddle. It’s easy to place an ad – just email the wording to our classified editor Jill Voigt at [email protected]
and we will take it from there!
