Hope Cooper and her manager, Josie Zeeb, recently traveled to with Verden, Germany with O Romeo S (Ollie) to compete in the FEI WBFSH Dressage World Breeding Championship for Young Horses. They scored 83.40% on the first day, putting them in 12th place out of 40 entrants and qualified them for Saturday’s large final—a rare accomplishment for a U.S. pair at the world young horse championships. At the finals they finished 12th on a score of 82.40%, and the girls will join us to share the prep and management needed to bringing this young horse overseas to such success.
Josie's love for horses became clear at an early age and that drove her to join 4H where she expanded her knowledge and made many great friends. Her interest in horses brought her to Bear Spot Farm where she is passionate about her work caring for the horses and hopes to gain more knowledge and experience. “Ive loved horses all my life and being at Bear Spot has really opened my eyes to how unique every horse is and how it takes a little listening to really understand these amazing animals”. When not at Bear spot she enjoys spending her time hanging out with her cat Beckett, going on bike rides and working on projects for the Guatemala aid fund where she is the Vice President.
The NEDA Know How webinar series runs every Thursday evening from 7:30pm-8:30pm in January, February, and March. NEDA members can access previously recorded sessions under the "multimedia" dropdown in their member portal.
The goal of the webinar is to bring our membership a variety of prolific speakers aiming to increase:
- knowledge of best practices and opportunities in the dressage industry,
- opportunities to query those working in the dressage industry regarding cutting-edge advancements or best-quality educational standards, and
- knowledge of how their aspirations are impacted by others' work in the dressage community or the equine industry.
