USEA Developing RidersUSA Olympic Eventing Team Coach David O’Conner working Jordán through show jumping exercises in her second Developing Riders training session. The education is invaluable to the pair while the friendships formed with the US’s top aspiring riders will continue throughout Jordán’s career.

ROAD  TO  PRESTIGIOUS  ROLEX  KENTUCKY  THREE  DAY  EVENTTraining  with  US  Olympic  Even6ng  Team  Coach  David  O’Conner  and  the  USEA  Developing  Riders  Prepare  Jordán  and  Her  Mounts  for  the  US’s  Most  Pres6gious  Three  Day  Event

Just  days  a)er  her  2013  Fundraiser  and  Silent  Auc8on  in  January,  Jordán  Linstedt  le)  her  home  in  Redmond,  Wash.  for  California  beginning  her  journey  to  the  renowned  2013  Rolex  Kentucky  Three  Day  Event.  Rolex  is  the  only  CCI****  interna8onal  level  event  in  the  United  States,  and  Jordán  debuted  last  year  with  a  brilliant  top  30  finish.  Joining  her  are  her  mounts  Tullibards  Hawkwind  (barn  name  Jack)  and  RevitaVet  Capato  along  with  a  horse  in  training  named  Eva  (owned  by  Kris8e  Zierwick,  Jordán’s  assistant).

Jordán  headed  to  Flying  Tail  Farm  in  Gilroy,  Calif.  for  her  first  training  session  with  US  Olympic  Even8ng  Team  Coach  David  O’Conner  as  part  of  the  USEA  Developing  Riders  Program.  Riding  Capato,  Jordán  and  David  focused  on  show  jumping  in  this  first  

training  session.  According  to  Jordán,  “Capato  was  fantas8c  although  energe8c  and  a  bit  full  of  himself.”  David’s  compliments  for  Capato  surrounded  his  skill  in  show  jumping  no8ng  that  the  pair’s  training  should  focus  on  improving  his  rideability  on  the  flat.  

Jordán  enjoyed  the  Developing  Riders  training  and  is  looking  forward  to  working  with  David  and  the  other  riders  for  years  to  come.

Training  with  Tamra  Smith  and  Next  Level  EvenCng

From  Gilroy,  Jordán  headed  to  Tucalota  Creek  Ranch  in  Temecula,  Calif.  to  train  with  Tamra  Smith  and  Next  Level  Even8ng.  Jordán  is  helping  Tamra  ride  and  teach  while  preparing  for  Rolex.  Tucalota  Creek  is  a  beau8ful  40-­‐acre  facility  located  10  minutes  from  Galway  Downs.  The  horses  sebled  in  well,  and  Jordán  has  enjoyed  seeing  her  good  friends  in  the  area.

Galway  Downs  Winter  Horse  TrialsOn  February  1-­‐3,  2013,  Jordán  competed  Jack  and  Capato  

at  the  Galway  Downs  Winter  Horse  Trials.  Both  horses  competed  in  the  Preliminary  division  and  preformed  well.  Jack  was  a  bit  tough  to  ride  in  the  small  dressage  court  and  an8cipated  more  advanced  movements  during  the  test.  Show  jumping  went  well,  and  cross-­‐country  was  excep8onal  going  double  clear.  “Jack  felt  great  –  it  was  the  first  8me  he  has  ever  galloped  the  en8re  Galway  course  while  pulling  me  around.”  

Capato  preformed  beau8fully  in  dressage  placing  second  with  a  score  of  25.5.  He  show  jumped  well  but  was  extremely  strong  as  the  smaller  fences  weren’t  backing  him  off.  Jordán  incurred  8me  penal8es  caused  by  schooling  him  on  the  course.  

In  the  end,  both  horses  had  iden8cal  final  scores  of  39.50  puhng  Jack  in  fourth  place  and  Capato  in  fi)h  place.

Twin  Rivers  Horse  Trails                                          March  1-­‐3,  2014

Following  Galway,  Jordán  took  Jack  and  Eva  cross  country  schooling  at  the  65-­‐acre  Copper  Meadows  Even8ng  facility  in  Ramona,  Calif.  in  prepara8on  for  the  Twin  Rivers  Horse  Trials.    Copper  Meadows’  Intermediate  and  Advanced  level  jumps  and  water  obstacles  challenged  Jack  as  he  prepared  to  run  Advanced  at  Twin  Rivers.  Twin  Rivers  was  Eva’s  first  event,  and  her  prepara8on  on  Copper’s  beginning  novice  obstacles  put  completely  new  ques8ons  in  front  of  her.  Although  extremely  curious  of  everything  on  the  course,  she  jumped  well  and  was  an  enjoyable  ride.  

Jordán  headed  out  to  compete  at  the  Twin  Rivers  Winter  Horse  Trails  on  March  1-­‐3,  2013  in  Paso  Robles,  Calif.    Jack’s  finesse  in  the  dressage  ring  shined  with  an  almost  perfect  Advanced  level  test  puhng  him  in  second  place  only  0.7  points  behind  Kris8  Nunnick  and  R-­‐Star.  “Dressage  was  remarkable,  but  show  jumping  proved  challenging,”  said  Jordán.    “I  had  an  off  day,  and  we  both  felt  rusty.  I’ve  focused  much  of  Jack’s  recent  training  on  flatwork  which  benefited  his  dressage  round  greatly  but  le)  us  behind  in  the  jump  arena.”  

Jack  ran  one  of  his  best  cross  country  courses  going  clear  at  Twin  Rivers.  Linstedt  inten8onally  tackled  the  Advanced  course  

with  care  out  of  the  start  box  as  this  was  Jack’s  most  compe88ve  event  following  Rolex  and  Woodside  in  2012.  The  pair  incurred  8me  penal8es,  but  Jack  ran  the  advanced  course  with  ease.  “His  joy  for  cross  country  showed  throughout  Twin’s  en8re  course,”  said  Jordán.  “Jack’s  breathing  felt  amazing.  He  has  changed  tremendously  following  his  8eback  surgery  last  summer.  Jack  now  pulls  me  around  the  course,  and  I  no  longer  have  to  create  his  engine  for  him.  I  almost  feel  as  though  I  need  to  relearn  how  to  ride  the  new  Jack!”

 Jordán  also  competed  Kris8e  Zierwick’s  mount  Eva  in  Open  Beginner  Novice  at  Twin  Rivers  as  her  first  event  ever.  Eva  was  green  in  the  dressage  ring  puhng  the  pair  in  the  second  half  of  the  division  following  the  test.  She  regained  her  focus  and  demonstrated  her  ap8tude  for  show  jumping.  Eva  had  only  one  rail  down  due  to  a  miscommunica8on  before  jump  three.  In  her  first  cross-­‐country  compe88ve  run  ever,  Eva  showed  her  curiosity  around  the  course  but  handled  the  obstacles  well.  Jordán  kept  her  calm  out  of  the  start  box  

and  trobed  the  first  few  fences  before  going  double  clear.  “I  was  extremely  impressed  with  how  Eva  handled  cross-­‐country,”  said  Jordán.  “All  in  all  Eva  was  brave,  athle8c  and  a  blast  to  ride  all  weekend.  Thank  you  Kris8e  for  giving  me  the  opportunity  to  ride  such  a  promising  young  horse.”  Eva  finished  in  sixth  place  with  a  score  of  46.50.
