LILO FORE
International Masters of Dressage – The Stepping Stones to Collection
Dressage WA and DWA Judges Taskforce are proud to be hosting Lilo Fore, FEI 5*Dressage Judge - FEI 3* PE Judge - FEI YH Judge
for a series of events to be held at the SEC from the 30th January to the 5th February 2019.
Suitable for all dressage enthusiasts, supporters, riders and trainers to attend
Lilo has been an important part of the development of dressage around the world and has served as an International judge since 1990, officiating at major events throughout the world including the Olympic Games, World Cup Finals, World Young Horse Championships, Pan American Games and World Equestrian Games.
Lilo a FEI competitor, trainer, instructor and Sport Horse Breeder. Her farm, Sportshorse America, is based in Santa Rosa CA, where she has lived since moving from her native, Germany. Lilo’s involvement with USDF and USEF has proven instrumental in the development and promotion of dressage education in the United States. Those who read Dressage Today and other equestrian magazines will have seen her training articles in print, which give just a glimpse of her amazing knowledge and experience.
Lilo is committed to teaching riders the correct training principles, from the early days of training the young horse to the educated Grand Prix horse. Some of you may remember Lilo’s perspective of an instructor on the DVD 'On the Levels’, giving training tips for each movement of the dressage tests introduced to Australia in 2014. We hope to introduce some of our new tests during Lilo’s visit to benefit from her insight again.
Lilo has now retired from FEI judging but has maintained her Dressage, Young Horse and Sport Horse Breeding Judging in the US.
Lilo has a vast amount of experience as an international rider, coach and a judge which WA will benefit from. Take the opportunity to learn from someone who works with the overall development of the dressage horse and rider combination to create an optimum performance.
There is something for all dressage enthusiasts to get involved with whilst Lilo is here. You may want to take up one of the rider clinic packages; attend the EA Elementary level seminar - developing the first stages of collection, introducing lateral work, simple changes, counter canter; take a look at the EA FEI levels workshop - development of collection to GP; EA Coaches and Judges are invited to join the rider coaches educational clinic; or sit back and enjoy a special Masterclass with Lilo Fore. If you’re lucky maybe Santa will bring you a VIP ticket.
Come and meet Lilo, it’s an opportunity not to be missed. Her enthusiasm to help the sport and sense of humour is refreshing.
