MSEDA Dressage in the Park
The Midsouth Eventing and Dressage Association (MSEDA) presented Dressage in the Park at the Kentucky Horse Park, September 4-6, 2015. This is a 3-day dressage show that draws around 100 to 150 horses and competitors from Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana, Georgia, and Florida. The National Dressage Pony Cup is also held during this show, with ponies of all breeds participating. The levels offered are Training thru Grand Prix.
Kathy Massey’s granddaughter Caitlyn Massey, age 11 of Arlington, TN, rode Zassafrass in first level. Nicole Ardito Ng (at Massar Farm and ALR Dressage in Arlington, TN) is her trainer. All championship classes were test 2 and 3 of the particular levels. She finished third in her class. “This was a great show with so much to watch and an eye opener to how many ponies are now successfully competing in dressage. Jenny and Fara finished with a championship in training level, 74.091%, Melanie and Florette had mid 60s scores in training level at their first big show and Caitlyn and her pony Zassafrass finished with a 64.559% at first level test 3 and placed 3rd in their Pony Cup championship class,” Kathy Massey said.
“Caitlyn Massey rode in her very first rated show, going down centerline at first level for a third place finish in the Jr/Yr Pony division. Jennifer VanDeLoo showed her young mare Filigree for the first time, earning both her Training Level qualifying scores for Regionals in one weekend and Amateur High Point with a 74%. Congrats to all!” said Ally Rogers. Jennifer VanDeLoo also rode her mare in the MSEDA portion of the show and won high point for Training Level.
“From watching all the great ponies that competed in Lexington I was glad that we have Nicole Ardito-Ng as the trainer of Caitlyn and her pony since Nicole is petite and the pony is not confused by a child's aides, as compared to the trainer’s aides,” said Kathy Massey. “Prize money was given in the Pony Cup portion of the show, including three riders who won $500 each for scoring over 65 percent in a FEI test. Management said that this show has grown bigger each of the eight years that it has been held.”
