"The Happy Athlete"


During last October 25th and 26th, in the family Bartels´s Horse Academy held in the duch village Hooge Mierde,in Holland, was this year Global Dressage Forum edition.
(www.globaldressageforum.com)

As last two years, this international meeting brings together the best riders, trainers, judges and dressage supporters all over the world.
Also the annual Assembly of the International Dressage Rider Club and the International Dressage Trainer Club was celebrated there and as a Spanish representatives we had Beatriz Ferrer-Salat and Luis Lucio.

Out of the enormeus interest of the ideas and opinions exchanging about the thecnical matters trought the theorical and practical sessions, this year meeting has brought to the discussion the FEI interest about the concept of the "happy athlete".

This new phrasing "Happy Athlete" in the new FEI rules, has brought about many discussions.

Concepts as athlete and dancer, effort and satisfaction, calme and tension, wellfare and sport activities are going to bring lots of discussions, opinions and also some confussions.
Dressage world should think in a deep and serius way about it and try to establish a clear and unanimous interpretation.

We hope that expert judges, riders and trainers, following the directives of the FEI, will together find the right aplication of the "Happy athlete" philosophie in the daily lives of our horses and also in the competitions.

The care of the mental and emotional wellbeing of the horse will be always something accepted by everybody of the horseworld and without any doubtes about its interest and oportunity.

The top competition in the last years has clear showed that for the big results we need good trained and also willing horses, not only to achieve the succes in the shows, also to be sure of the futur acceptance and promotion of the equestrian sports.

Could be is the right time to invite to this meetings to a experts in the horse mental and emotional behaviours as Pat Parelli from USA to help us.
There is an incredible amount of knowhow, information and experiences that could make us more experts in the horses minds, it seems that we are already experts about the horses bodys..!

Congratulations to the FEI for this initiative.
Now is time for us to try, day by day, to change our horse into a "happy athlete" or, at list, into a "happy friend".
