U.S. Para-Dressage Looks Ahead to the WEG (From US Equestrian)
Serving as the test event in preparation for the WEG, the Tryon Para-Dressage Test Event CPEDI3* gave the U.S. para-equestrian dressage athletes the opportunity to familiarize themselves with not just the arena, but the pathways, barns, and facility as a whole.
As the U.S. para-equestrian dressage team looks forward to the WEG, they will host a training camp in the beginning of July that will focus on a top group of potential athletes for the Games. At this camp, they will potentially ride a mock-event and the selectors will closely examine the performance of the combinations. In the meantime, Handt and Assouline, as well as their support staff, will continue to be in contact with the trainers and coaches of the para-equestrian dressage athletes, assisting them in their preparation.
“Right now, we are conferring with the trainers and coaches a lot,” continues Handt. “There is also a lot of feedback from this show on their rides happening here so that it instantly sets in. But there is constant contact with the individual coaches, and we are doing more seminars to help get these riders trained.”
“It is not all about international shows, but focusing on their progress and training at home,” said Assouline. “From now on, it is focusing on what we have learned. Coming here, it was focusing on learning the differences between the horses and seeing the pros and cons of each horse, and then learning from that and adjusting.”
