News from NDA

A survey for our Youth members—from UNL

7/25/2016

Please participate at your discretion...

​Our friends at UNL's Animal Science program have contacted NDA to ask if our youth members might be interested in participating in a study that examines the positive effects horses have on youth. If you are comfortable doing so, please see below and click the link to have your child take the survey.

Hello,
​
Thank you for having your child be involved with horses. I am Carol Thompson, a Master’s student in Animal Science. One of my graduate projects is to look at how horse programs influence youth. I would like to ask if you would have your child complete a survey about their experiences with their horse.

We want to look at how working with their horse has impacted them as a person. The survey should take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and will not ask for any information about who they are so they should feel comfortable being honest in their answers. We hope to use the data we collect to improve horse and youth programs in Nebraska. You have the right to decide if they will complete the survey and no penalty will occur to you or your child if you choose not to have your child complete the survey. The entire informed consent letter as approved by the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Institutional Review Board is located here for your review prior to completing the survey.

Thank you for your time. We appreciate your support. If you have additional questions please contact me, Carol Thompson at carol.thompson@huskers.unl.edu or 402-472-0545.

​August 12-13, 2016 at HETRA in Gretna, NE.

What's this all about?

NDA is excited to host this 2-day clinic with Lynn Palm, renowned Western Dressage horsewoman and founder of Palm Partnership Training.

A pioneer among women in the equine industry, Lynn Palm Pittion-Rossillon has long had a passion for teaching. Lynn’s many accomplishments include:
  • 34 AQHA Reserve and World Championships
  • 4 AQHA “Superhorse” Championships
  • A Record 7 Western Dressage World Championships
  • Judged AQHA World Championship Show 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2011
  • Named 2000 AQHA Female Equestrian of the Year by the Women’s Sports Foundation
  • 2003 Equine Affaire Exceptional Equestrian Educator Award winner
  • 2006 AQHA Professional Horsewoman of the Year
  • ...and more!

​Impressive as her performance record is, Palm says that her primary goal is to educate others on forming correct riding skills and building knowledge to increase the riding longevity of their horses. Lynn and her husband, Cyril Pittion-Rossillon, have created Palm Partnership Training with the mission of improving the rider first and foremost. The pair conducts clinics at Fox Grove Farm in Ocala, FL and Ride Well clinics across the United States and abroad.

What will we be doing?
This is not just a "one ride per day" clinic—this is two full days of instruction on various topics, with lots of riding!​

While Lynn teaches all clinics using dressage principles, this 2 day program has a dual purpose. Riders new to the discipline will learn the fundamentals that apply to all levels, the benefits of riding with correctness and accuracy through dressage figures and the control from precise transitions and rhythmical gaits. For riders who want to reach a new level in the discipline, let Lynn’s years of experience competing & coaching in Dressage offer simple and practical solutions to overcome challenges and achieve those goals.

The clinic will run from 9:00-5:00 on Friday and Saturday at HETRA in Gretna, NE. Participants will be scheduled for two full days of instruction, not just “a ride per day.” Friday’s schedule will include an hour discussion, followed by a two-hour evaluation and exercise of all the rider’s position and aids, a break for lunch, and then two group riding sessions. Saturday’s schedule will include an hour discussion, followed by an educational session about the “math” of dressage, reading (and calling) a dressage test, and utilizing dressage figures. After lunch, each rider will ride a test, with a caller, critiques and scoring.

Check out the full clinic schedule here.

Interested in participating in the clinic?
Get two full days of clinic instruction for $550/weekend from this renowned expert!

Lunch is available each day of the clinic for $11/day, with all lunch proceeds going directly to benefit HETRA. Stalls will be available to participants at HETRA for $25 (includes both days).

Space is limited! If you'd like to apply to participate in the clinic, or if you have any questions, please contact Kathy Lewis. Applications must be postmarked by August 1st. First come, first served basis.

There's lots of auditing space!
