The Orion Cup has been established to pay tribute to Pia Fortmuller’s KWPN Grand Prix partner. Orion was an Olympic Team horse for Canada, trained to the Advanced level by Pia’s former coach, Leslie Reid, who represented Canada with Orion at the 2008 Olympic Games in Hong Kong.

In the fall of 2009 Orion was sent to Europe to be sold, during that same time Pia, a 2006 NAJYRC Gold Medalist, also moved to Europe.

It was during this time the two began a partnership, and Pia subsequently purchased Orion. At the age of 25, Pia rode in her first Grand Prix with Orion, and they went on to compete very successfully at the International Grand Prix level in Europe.

Orion took Pia all the way to the Canadian Senior Team, and their career together culminated when they were named the reserve combination for the 2012 Olympic Dressage Team in London.

Sadly, Orion died in January, 2014. His passing was not only a loss to Canadian dressage, but a devastating personal loss to Pia and her family.

“I never truly lost Orion for he will always live on in my heart, and it brings me an incredible amount of joy to know that Orion will also live on in the legacy of the Orion Cup,” says Pia Fortmuller.

THE ORION CUPThe Orion Cup’s purpose is to encourage and support young Canadian athletes with transitioning from the Young Rider level to the Grand Prix level. It is geared for athletes between the ages of 16-25 years old. The Orion Cup not only encourages young athletes to focus on training and planning, but also provides them with a tangible goal.

AWARDThe recipient of the Orion Cup will receive a commemorative jacket and cooler plus a $1,000 cash prize. In addition, the recipient will be recognized as the Orion Cup National Champion.

Dressage Competition Handbook 2020 23

PURPOSE: To promote, reward and evaluate the dressage rider’s correct position, seat and use of aids. The performance of the horse is important only as it relates to the rider’s seat and aids. The quality of the horse should have no influence -the focus is on the rider. Given this priority, the Rising Stars team has created this innovative score sheet to assess equitation skills.

1. POSITIONAlignment, posture, stability, & weight placement in the walk, trot and canter. Ears/shoulder/hip/heel vertically aligned; heels level or slightly down, the front and back of the rider’s trunk should be of equal length; straight line from elbow to horse’s mouth. Contact to be independent from rider’s seat, with hands carried steadily close together, the thumbs as highest point and straight line from elbow to horse’s mouth. Relaxed and supple position.

Walk /10 Trot /10 Canter /10

2. TRANSITIONSGeneral transitions between and within the gaits. All halts. Transitions should be well prepared, tactful and smooth and not abrupt. The horse should remain light in hand, calm and maintain a correct position. Calm transitions, willing, straight, attentive halt, immobile (3 sec.)

In /10 x 2 Walk/Trot/Canter

3. EFFECTIVENESSThe use, timing and coordination of the rider’s aids. Ability to ride forward & maintain contact through all paces and movements. Ability to ride the required movements of the test maintaining tempo and rhythm. Clarity, subtlety, independence, & accuracy of test. The effectiveness of the rider’s aids determines the precise fulfilment of the required movements of the tests.

In /10 x 2 Walk/Trot/Canter

4. OVERALL HARMONY AND GENERAL IMPRESSIONRider’s rhythm, balance and harmony with horse in following the mechanics of the gaits. Fluidity and partnership of the rider/horse combination in executing the test. There should always be the impression of a harmonious partnership between horse and rider.

THE BROSDA OLYMPIC BURSARY The Brosda Olympic Bursary is offered in memory of the late Élisabeth Brosda of Gatineau, QC. A passionate young equestrian and an accomplished dressage athlete, Élisabeth was tragically killed in a head on car collision in September of 2016. Élisabeth’s goal was to reach the Grand Prix level and represent Canada at the 2024 Olympic Games.

On behalf of the Brosda family, Equestrian Canada (EC) is honoured to facilitate support for

the Élisabeth Brosda Memorial Fund through the Horsepower Foundation - a fundraising program created by EC, in partnership with the Canadian Olympic Foundation, to inspire and support Canadians to embrace lifelong participation in equestrian activities.

As a lasting legacy in memory of Élisabeth Brosda, funds donated to the Élisabeth Brosda Memorial Fund are directed specifically to the annual Brosda Olympic Bursary.

Donations to the Élisabeth Brosda Memorial Fund can be made online at www.equestrian.ca/about/horse-power-foundation, or by cheque. Please make cheques out to the Canadian Olympic Foundation and include Élisabeth Brosda Memorial Fund in the memo area of the cheque. Cheques can be mailed to: Canadian Olympic Foundation, 250 Yonge St, Suite 3000, PO Box #19, Toronto, ON Canada M5B 2L7.

The Brosda Olympic Bursary is designed to assist aspiring athletes reach their full potential and support the development efforts of athletes showing the skill and determination to represent Canada at the 2020 and/or 2024 Olympic Games. The Bursary will provide up to $10,000 annually toward financial support for international competition, sport science, training, equipment and sport education.

Successful candidates will embody the dream and goal shared with Élisabeth, of representing the Canadian Dressage Team at the Olympic Games, and will become ambassadors for the Bursary. They will promote the Olympic values of excellence, teamwork, leadership and fair play. This will include public speaking engagements, appearances and sharing stories about their experience in the sport publically and through social media.

THIRD LEVELPurpose: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and having

begun to develop an uphill balance at Second Level, now demon-strates increased engagement, especially in the extended gaits. Transitions between collected, medium and extended gaits should be well defined and performed with engagement. The horse should be reliably on the bit and show a greater degree of straightness, bending, suppleness, throughness, balance and self-carriage than at Second Level.

AM I READY SERIES

Equestrian Canada (EC) is pleased to offer the Am I Ready Series, created as a tool to receive feedback from certified officials without leaving the comfort of their your stable. All for free.

Am I Ready features an online portal that allows riders to submit their performances of EC Dressage Tests. As this is a training and feedback tool, 20 x 60 m ring is not required, however, all movements should be shown as best as possible.

Upload your videos for review and evaluation by an EC certified dressage judge. Tests of all levels can be uploaded, from introduction to FEI.

Available exclusively to 2020 sport license holders who have indicated dressage as their primary discipline, Am I Ready is a user-friendly, free and convenient development resource for Canadian dressage enthusiasts from coast-to-coast - or anywhere in the world! A digital video recorder (or even simply a smartphone or tablet) and internet access is all that is needed to take advantage of the following benefits:

• Real-World Feedback: Athletes and their personal coaches can review test feedback from EC certified dressage judges and identify areas for improvement.

• Competition Preparation: Those looking to enter EC sanctioned competitions for the first time, or advance to a higher level of competition, can get a leg-up on preparation by implementing judge feedback at home before entering the ring.

• Development Opportunities: Those who don’t have access to competitions in their geographic area, can receive formal evaluations from EC sanctioned dressage judges without leaving their stable.

To get started, please contact Celine Hutchison Majerus, Program Coordinator –Dressage, [email protected] 613-287-1515 x 142

FOURTH LEVEL Purpose: To confirm that the horse demonstrates correct basics, and has de-

veloped sufficient suppleness, impulsion and throughness to per-form the Fourth Level tests which have a medium degree of difficulty. The horse remains reliably on the bit, showing a clear uphill balance and lightness as a result of improved engagement and collection. The movements are performed with greater straightness, energy and cadence than at Third Level.

Dressage Competition Handbook 2020 75

In 1996, the FEI introduced Dressage Tests for Five and Six Year Old Horses at International Level.

In 2006, the FEI introduced the Dressage Tests for Four Year Old Horses, a test which is to be used at EC competitions only.

Basic Ideas: The handiness, basic paces and general impression of the horse as a dressage horse will be judged. Judges should ask whether or not the performance of the horse corresponds to the general idea of a dressage horse; whether the horse is on the correct training path; and whether the horse has the ability to perform dressage at a high level.

Special emphasis has to be made on soft and constant contact, the satisfactory activity of the mouth, and elastic poll in the three basic gaits and in the transitions. The steps and strides must be in rhythm and without tension. Flexion and bending, the harmonious development on both hands and suppleness are important.There must be impulsion, which has to be developed through the hindquarters, leading into a swinging back and a soft and steady contact.

Dressage Tests for Young Horses are as follows:

FEI Dressage Test for 4 Year Old Horses (2005, updated 2017)

(EC-sanctioned competitions only)

FEI Preliminary Dressage Test for 5 Year Old Horses (2004, updated 2017)

In order to receive classification, athletes must meet the minimal impairment criteria as outlined in the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) classification manual and be actively competing in Equestrian Canada (EC) sanctioned Bronze competitions with a goal for competing at the Silver and Gold level in the immediate future.

Classification provides athletes with a physical and visual impairment the opportunity to compete against other athletes with similar abilities. Testing is conducted by an EC Classifier who evaluates athletes for their either muscle strength, coordination, or a combination thereof throughout the athlete’s body using a standardized classification system.

Athletes are classified and given a “Grade” based on their functional ability, and are judged on their riding skill against other athletes of the same grade. Athletes are assessed by EC Classifiers and are given a “Grade” based on their functional abilities in areas such as: muscle power, joint range, and coordination. There are five Grades of competitions in Para-Dressage, with Grade I representing the more severely impaired riders, and Grade V representing the least severely impaired riders.

EC classifies/assesses athletes in accordance with the methods and standards of the FEI (as outlined in the FEI classification manual).

At each Grade athletes may receive approval to use specific compensatory aids during competition, which would be listed on the athlete’s classification card. The purpose of compensatory aids (sometimes known as adaptive tack or specialized equipment) is to level the competitive playing field. Examples of compensatory aids include: rubber bands on stirrups, voice commands, two whips, etc. While compensatory aids are varied and can be unique to a rider, they should never provide an advantage to the athlete.

Many Para-Dressage athletes also compete alongside able-bodied competitors in EC competitions. At the grass-roots level, Para-Dressage encompasses a number of different disciplines, while the international stream focuses only on Para-Dressage.

If you would like additional information classification, please do not hesitate to contact -Equestrian Canada at 1-866-282-8395 Ext. 146 or e-mail: [email protected]

NOTICE: EQUESTRIAN CANADA PARA-DRESSAGE CLASSIFICATION CARDS REPLACED BY NATIONAL

CLASSIFICATION MASTER LISTS FOR 2020

Please note that as of Jan. 1, 2019, Equestrian Canada (EC) Para-Dressage Classification Cards have been replaced with the National Classification Master Lists in an effort to correspond with processes used by the FEI. Para-Dressage Classification Cards are no longer valid.

Athletes with a physical or visual impairment who use compensating aids and compete at EC sanctioned competitions must be listed on the National Classification Master List that identifies which compensating aids are permitted in competition. These lists include the EC Classification Master List and the EC Para-Dressage Dispensation Certificate List.

The EC Para-Dressage Classification Master List will include athlete name, profile grade, compensating aids, and classification status and review date if required.

The EC Dressage / Para-Dressage Dispensation Certificate Master List will be used for Bronze level competitions only, and will include athlete name, compensating aids and expiration date.

The lists will be updated monthly or as required.

Both lists will be available on the EC website at www.equestrian.ca/sport/para-dressage/programs for access by athletes, competition organizers, and officials.
