Working Equitation Canadian Cross National Cup (CNC) - High River, Alberta August 12- 18, 2019
Four glorious days of being submerged in the language of Working Equitation was amazing to be part of. Instructors from Australia, New Zealand, U.S.A. and Canada gave their time to teach and support this new and growing equine sport. There were many comments on how the Judges, from Australia and the United States, gave much of themselves to help and support horse and rider. It certainly does take a village to put on something as big as the Cross Nationals. There were so many behind the scene organizers and the amount of hours put in before, during and after the event was staggering. Without these selfless people this event would never have taken place.
My partner Escudo, greeted me every morning with eagerness. It felt special to be there with him, learning and growing - being part of something unique. My husband Rick was there to support me, and make breakfast each morning while I took Escudo out to graze and walk the track. During the four day camp, Rick went golfing, so we both got to do what we love.
Before each days lessons, Yoga classes were offered, as well as In-Hand work with the horses. I was one of the volunteers that taught the In- Hand. We then were assigned to an Instructor and for the next hour we learned dressage, and in the afternoon EOH.
By the fourth day of camp, we were eager to test out what we had learned. The next three days consisted of Dressage, EOH, and Speed tests, in that order.
There were a few thunder storms, wind and run for the stall moments all throughout the week and into the dressage day of testing. This did not dampen our spirits or even allow us to feel sorry for ourselves when some of us realized we didn’t bring enough warm rain proof clothing.
Escudo did amazing over the three days of trial tests. I will brag a little. This was his second test of his career. In the Open Division he was Reserve Champion in Dressage with a score of 69% and Reserve Champion in EOH with a score of 71%. Our speed test although clean, was quite slow. At the entrance to the course, he spooked at the timers sitting at the table next to the start. This set him up for being cautious. Our slower time brought us from second place overall to fourth overall.
I've learned test scores are a fabulous way to monitor progress. Another way to see progress is through a photographs lens. We were fortunate to have a couple of professional photographers and participants who were handy with a camera take photos of the trials. It's amazing what a photo will tell you. To see Escudo reach further under him and flex and bend was undeniable encouraging. To see him look relaxed in each photo, yet alert and respectful was heart warming. He is a true partner ;)
It seems both Escudo and I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. We're delighted to be part of a sport that offers a fun challenge with opportunities to use our minds, and stretch our emotions. We both are better for it!
The first Cross Nationals took place in Eugene, Oregon in July, 2018. Organized by Julie Alonzo, who by the way is an amazing organizer, generous, helpful and all around fabulous human being. It was an amazing four day camp and three day show. I went down to Eugene with my mare Kloee to compete and have never turned back - I was hooked. Julie helped the Canadians organize the High River event - 2019, and in 2020, the Australians are excited to host. Many Canadians and Americans are already saving their pennies to attend the 2020 event.

SANDY LANG HORSEMANSHIP PRESENTS
SUCCESS ON LINE LEADS TO SUCCESS IN THE SADDLE WORKING EQUITATION CLINIC
Oregon U.S.- Cross Nationals - Ease of Handling - 2018
WE CLINIC WITH SANDY LANG
SATURDAY, APRIL 6TH, 2019
SATURDAY, MAY 4TH, 2019
On-Line - Morning / Riding - Afternoon
When I watch Pedro Torres and his horse, Oxidado (the worlds best WE team) and other well schooled WE horses and riders, my heart skips a beat. When I think of preparing my horse for WE, I know foundation training is going to play a major role in my daily arena work.
Sandy's WE Clinic will focus on, ease of handling with obstacles. Obstacles can be intimating for both horse and rider, but with strategies, techniques, and patterns that help you help your horse achieve acceptance and relaxation, you will start your horse off on the right hoof.
The goal is to encourage your horse to become braver, think through a problem rather than react, and associate obstacles with sweet spots. The best way to offer this is first from the ground with halter and lead line, where we can give support without bumping him or her in the mouth accidentally or intentionally with a bit when trying to maneuver an obstacle. Success On-line leads to success in the saddle.
Sandy has two clinics -Saturday April, 6th and May, 4th.
You may sign up for one or both. The clinics will be the same format, building on creating sweet spots with obstacles and learning how to approach each obstacle, flow through and exit an obstacle. For those who take the April 6th clinic and wonder if the May 4th clinic will be worth taking, I say YES! You will love the progression of what you learned on April 6th, and the variety of new obstacles offered on May 4th. Those that are new to WE will learn the process of how to teach a horse to enjoy his new job of Ease of Handling in Working Equitation. Two hours 0n-line / two hours Riding.
10:00 - 12:00 - ON- LINE WITH OBSTACLES.
- You will learn to break each obstacle down into little pieces.
- You will achieve little victories with your horse that eventually will give you big victories.
- Your horse will start to see each obstacle as a ‘sweet spot’.
- You will learn exercises and patterns that will support biomechanics.
- We'll talk about what you need to do to be successful at Ease of Handling course.
LUNCH
1:00 - 3:00 - RIDING THE OBSTACLES.
After lunch, your horse will be more relaxed and mentally engaged, ready to learn more about the obstacles while you guide him in the saddle.
- Each obstacle has an approach, flow through, and exit. You will build on creating obstacles as ‘sweet spots’ as you learn about the requirements for each obstacle.
- You will learn exercises and patterns that will support biomechanics.

Working Equitation Comes To The Mane Event In Chilliwack, BC
October 19-21, 2018
Jill Barron Clinician - demonstrating the Jug obstacle.
Three days of WE clinics were offered for the first time at the Mane Event. This fast growing sport is being lead by inspirational Clinicians such as Jill Barron from Turner Valley, Alberta. Jill showed seven participants how to help their horses get used to the Ease of handling obstacles, how to approach, do and exit each obstacle with finesse and savvy. WE BC had a booth maned by Trish Hyatt- BC Director, Lynne Jupp WECan's Secretary/ Treasurer and myself who is also a BC Director. It was so much fun catching up with students I hadn't seen in a while and meet new faces who are eager to get started in this fascinating sport.

Five Day Camp - Three Day Show
Eugene Oregon, U.S.A. July 8-15, 2018
Eugene Horse Centre in Oregon was the site for the first Cross National Working Equitation five day camp and three day show. There were Americans, Canadians, Australians, and Portuguese attending the cup. The camp exceeded my expectations. High level Instructors gave their time teaching WE dressage and Ease Of Handling - every day was amazing! My gratitude goes out to Julie Alonzo from the U.S. who organized this event and all the Volunteers and Instructors who selfishly gave their time and effort to make this event a success. I also want to thank my husband who came along to take photos and cheer me on. The three day show was a first for Kloee and I. We participated in Novice A Dressage, Ease Of Handling, and the Speed Test. We have homework to work on, in preparation for next year in Alberta, Canada where the Cross Nationals will be held, and in 2020 Australia!

Kloee and I did the Speed Test slow and steady. My goal was to have a clean run and we did.
Once she can do a test with more relaxation, we'll add in more speed.
