Anita Howe Gaited Horses
Gaited horse expert Anita Howe was
so impressed with the 2011 Maryland Horse World Expo that she is returning this year. “I found from last year’s Expo that there is signifi cant interest and sup- port for natural gait training by the audi- ence at this expo; the number of people wanting to fi nd a better way to relate to their gaited horses was quite impressive,” she said, adding, “I fi nd the audiences at this Maryland Expo to be very receptive to what I have to share.” Anita, based in Missouri, made a commitment many years ago to never train gaited horses in anything heavier than keg shoes. T is allowed her to take away the usual crutches others fall back on and created a foundation for her natural training methods. “I strive to demonstrate and help people understand that the gait is already bred into their gaited horses. Gaited horses are horses fi rst and foremost and should be ridden and trained as any other horse; with natural and classical horsemanship,” Anita stated. With over 14 years of experience, Anita brings to Expo demonstrations that will help riders seek better partnerships with their horses, saying she wants riders “to help their horses fi nd the naturally correct and brilliant gaits within them.” T e end result is to produce horses that are soft in the bridle, more consistent with their gaits, and happier and more correct in their movements.
Appearance Schedule Saturday, noon-1 pm, Main Seminar Hall A; 2-3 pm, Exhibition Hall Arena Sunday, 10-11 am, Cow Palace Arena; noon-1 pm, Cow Palace Education Corral

Colleen Kelly
Rider Biomechanics Australian Colleen Kelly has always been fascinated by the mechanics of movement and started her career in exercise physiolo- gy, working in rehabilitation gymnasiums. Over the last 30 years, Colleen has melded this knowledge with her equestrian knowl- edge, which includes experiences with en- durance riding, polocrosse, hunters, dres- sage, trick training and vaulting, to create a program that specializes in the biome- chanics of the horse and rider, helping both to better communicate in a way that improves their performance as a pair. She received a 100% on her offi cial Dressage Judge’s Examination and is a spokeswoman for the WorkCover Authority of New South Wales. She has also received several awards for her work with disabled riders. Colleen is now one of the world’s most sought-after clinicians and spends her entire year traveling the globe. In 2011, Colleen taught all over the continental U.S., Australia, Hawaii, China, and many European countries, with over 2,000 people attending. Her clinics help riders bet- ter understand and improve their overall seat, posture and balance. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a pleasure rider or a Grand Prix show jumper, it’s all the same with seat and posture,” she explained. Returning to Expo for the fourth year in a row, Colleen wants the au- dience to see how to best get the most safe and secure position as riders and how that position will lead to a sound and happy horse. Once this is achieved, riders can then move in more advanced ways of sitting in the saddle to better improve engagement, straightness and balance, thus also improving the paces and elasticity of the horse. “All so that we have a wonderful harmonious relationships with our equine friend,” she added.

Gigi Nutter
Dressage Gigi Nutter began her successful com- petition career 46 years ago while show- ing on the Northeast Jumper Circuit as a junior rider. She switched over to dressage in 1976, moving up the levels and compet- ing at the FEI level starting in 1986. Since then, she has received her USDF Gold Medal, was long-listed for the USET team in 1988, and has earned several Horse of the Year awards, USDF Regional Cham- pionships and High Point Score awards. T rough the years, she has passed on her wealth of knowledge to many students, several of whom have gone on to riding at the top levels of dressage and hunters and become trainers themselves. “I always focus on solid basics and correctness,” she said, adding that at Expo, her goal is to have the audience see how perfecting the basics for each level of the training scale will allow them to move up the competition levels in a cor- continued...
