Craig Stanley Named Newest USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forum Faculty Member
Lexington, KY (June 12, 2020) -
The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) is pleased to announce Craig
Stanley as the newest member of the USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forum
Faculty. Craig will be joining the ranks of Willy Arts, Michael Bragdell, and
Scott Hassler. This forum aims to bridge the gap between in-hand competition,
and the start of a dressage horse's under-saddle competition career, making
instructor expertise in the development and training of young dressage sport
horses integral. Each faculty member brings a knowledge of in-hand work,
breaking, training, and development to impart on the demo riders and auditor
audience members.
USDF Sport Horse Committee
Co-Chairs Kristi Wysocki and Natalie DiBerardinis stated, “We're very excited
to welcome Craig Stanley as a new faculty member for the USDF Sport Horse
Prospect Development Forum. Like our other faculty, Craig's experience
encompasses the entire sport horse development process, from breeding to
training into the FEI levels. We've really enjoyed watching him develop
Caliente DG from the Young Horse Championships to Grand Prix, and now we see
him bringing along her offspring, including Habanero CWS with whom he won both
the USEF Four-Year Old & Six-Year Old National Championships. As a
guest presenter during our 2020 Sport Horse Prospect Forum, Craig's sympathetic
approach to the horses resonated strongly with the riders and spectators.”
Upon being notified of his
inclusion as a faculty member, Craig responded, “I am pleased and humbled to
accept USDF's offer to serve as a full member of the USDF Sport Horse Prospect
Development Forum faculty and look forward to working with USDF and the other
faculty members for future events!”
