Welcome Competitors!
As we get closer to our opening in October, I can’t help but still feel incredibly
energized by the dressage events in Tokyo. Congratulations all around!
We can’t wait to welcome you back to the desert for our second year of dressage
shows at the Desert International Horse Park. We certainly learned a lot in our first
year of hosting dressage shows and are optimistic that you’ll find the horse park an
even better place to compete and enjoy the sport. We are again hosting three weeks
of dressage events – in October we host our first FEI World Cup Qualifier/CDI3*/
CDI1* along with the Spooktacular, which has moved from San Diego, in November
we host our second FEI World Cup Qualifier/CDI3*/CDI1*, and in February we will
host a national competition and our first CPEDI3*, having been selected by the USEF
to provide the opportunity to WEG hopefuls.
We have been hard at work on improving every aspect of our horse show experience
– the physical facility, the competition, and our hospitality. The good news is we think
you and your horses will enjoy the desert even more! The challenge is that many things
will, once again, be new and different this season. Here is a summary of the exciting
changes that you will see and benefit from this fall and winter. While some of these
changes will only impact hunter/jumper competitions, many of them apply equally to
exhibitors and trainers coming for our dressage competitions.
WHAT’S NEW AT THE DESERT INTERNATIONAL
HORSE PARK
1. EXPANDED BRIDLE PATH – We have continued the bridle path
along the Southern boundary of the property, nearly tripling the length
of the pathway. The path is typically 20 feet wide and now consists of
sand footing the entire length.
2. IMPROVED HUNTER RINGS – We have done extensive work to
the hunter rings. New footing has been installed in Hunter 2, 3, and
4, as well as the main hunter schooling area which will be used for the
national dressage classes. New landscaping has been completed in all
seven hunter rings. A new viewing area and shade structure has been
added between Hunter 3 and 4.

7. NEW FEI STABLE AREA – We have moved the FEI
stabling area next to the FEI Schooling ring. The new
area will have four new clear span tents with 12x12
stalls. We have reduced the number of stalls in each
tent and changed the layout to allow for more room in
the aisleways. Locating the tents next to the schooling
ring will make the jog more convenient and easier for
athletes to school their horses.
8. IMPROVED WIFI – Finally, fiber comes to the horse
park! We are fortunate that Spectrum has installed
fiber along Airport Boulevard so that we can replace
our microwave system with a dedicated fiber line. We
hope to have this work complete by the start of the
season.
SAFETY AND HYGEINE AT THE
3. NEW GRAND PRIX ARENA – We have completed DESERT INTERNATIONAL HORSE
an upgrade to the footing in the GP arena and
GP Schooling, which includes a new ebb and flow PARK
watering system, the installation of OTTO mats which Safety, security, and health are top of mind at the horse
add considerable cushioning, and a new sand/footing park every day. The fact is, during a busy week with
material combination. We believe this investment over 2,000 horses, it feels more like I am a mayor of a

5. REDESIGNED VENDOR ROW – We have
lengthened vendor row and integrated the food trucks
in the midst of the stores. We have also added new
seating for viewing Jumper 2.
6. ADDITIONAL PARKING – We have expanded
the parking lot on the South side of the property
and moved the golf cart vendor to a different
area. This greatly expands the number
of parking spaces close to the
barns and tents.
REVISED AUGU ST 30, 2021 |3
2. ADDITIONAL BIOSECURITY – EHV-1 is always a
threat. The recent experience in Northern California is a
great reminder. The USDA/USEF have recommended
hygiene procedures, including avoiding sharing tack
and feed/water buckets. We appreciate if everyone
would familiarize themselves with these guidelines
and do their best to implement them. We work very
closely with the CDFA, and should a situation warrant
it, we will aggressively implement their recommended
actions.
3. CURRENT COVID-19 PROTOCOLS – We are ever
so hopeful that COVID-19 continues to become a
smaller and smaller risk to everyone. We’ll continue
to publish and enforce the protocols that are required
by relevant authorities of the State of California, the
County of Riverside, and FEI and USEF.
4. NEW SECURITY/CREDENTIALS – This year we will
be installing a new credential and security system.
We are fortunate in that most of the traffic entering
and exiting the facility is at one entrance. We will be
issuing unique photo IDs and will scan every person
inbound and outbound. We will also be installing
security cameras at the entrance that will coordinate
with the scanning system.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon and enjoying the
desert this season. If you have any questions or concerns,
please reach out to us. We’re always available.
Steve Hankin,
President and CEO

The years 2020 and 2021 have certainly brought much
change to the equestrian community and beyond between
Covid-19 along with the closure (albeit temporary?) of our
beloved Del Mar Horse Park!
Change often begets growth and that couldn’t be more true
in this case. Friends of Lisa is grateful to have found a home
for the Spooktacular Halloween Dressage Show at Desert
International Horse Park where it will run alongside the Desert
Dressage I CDI-W3*
This world class facility has opened its arms to us, allowing
this beloved and fun community-centered event to continue
on in Lisa Blaufuss’s memory. It also allows us to keep the
mission of putting her beautiful daughter Ciera Kelly through
college alive.
After finishing her GE classes at Mira Costa College in
Oceanside and living with her Dad for the past years since
her Mom’s passing, Ciera has transferred to UC DAVIS this
Fall for her last two years of study! She currently holds a
3.85 GPA and will be studying International Agriculture
Development with a focus on soil science. Ciera continues
to show such grace and strength through the adversity she
has encountered, and we are all so very impressed with her
compassion and engagement with the world around her.
Ciera is an accomplished artist, and she loves gardening and
cooking. DIHP has most graciously agreed to support Ciera in
offsetting her college expenses- just as FOL has done through
Spooktacular each year. We hope to see Ciera at the show
where she will receive a check for $5,000.00!
If there is any interest in making an additional donation
to benefit Ciera, please feel free to reach out to me- Kim
Stordahl @spooktacularfol@gmail.com
We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Kim Stordahl,
Friends of Lisa

USDF Statement on Animal Welfare
The United States Dressage Federation, Inc. (USDF), a federation of over 125 independent organizations throughout the United States with a membership
in excess of 33,000 members, supports the concept of ethical treatment of animals.
Dressage is a classical method of training horses, based upon the horse’s natural responses, as carried out in a gradual, planned program during which
the horse’s athletic abilities are improved in a systematic manner. As a result, the horse becomes capable, comfortable, and responsive in partnership with
the rider without the use of force. Dressage competition at various levels of achievement is the ultimate test of the training program to determine whether
the desired harmony between horse and rider has been achieved.
The rules pertaining to dressage competition prohibit the use of artificial appliances, training aids, and drugs, which would force the horse to submit.
Instead, the emphasis is upon training and a cooperative partnership with the rider. Major competitions are carefully monitored to assure that there is no
unnecessary force or harshness displayed.
Unlike other horse sports in which horses enter training at a relatively immature state, dressage training is usually not seriously begun until the horse is
three or four. The top levels of achievement require five or more years of progressive training and it is not unusual to see horses in international competition
in their late teens. This, in itself, places a premium on good care and soundness throughout the horse’s life.
While supporting the concept of animal welfare in its broadest form, the United States Dressage Federation, Inc., also recognizes that it is unrealistic
to ascribe human emotions and responses to the horse which in its wild state is a creature of flight, living a hard and precarious existence. Under
domestication, the horse is assured of ample food, water, and shelter, as well as protection against infectious diseases and damaging parasites, thus
leading a longer and healthier life with a high rate of survival.
As an educational organization, USDF has numerous programs, which teach people how to pursue the accepted, humane training methods. A program of
certifying instructors also emphasizes protecting the horse’s welfare in pursuit of dressage training.
