Scott Hassler brings a wealth of knowledge and experience
to the Dressage at Devon Forum. President and Director of
Training for Hassler Dressage, Scott began his career in show jumping
and eventing. As a teenager he rode for a Holsteiner organization
in Virginia preparing horses for auction and sale. As a young
adult Hassler turned his talents, passion and energies to the discipline
of dressage and sport horse breeding. In Germany, training
with the late Herbert Rehbein, he began to understand more deeply
the connection between breeding and sport. Returning to the
United States, Hassler built the breeding program at Hilltop Farm
in Maryland.
Hassler created the Young Dressage Horse Trainers Symposium in
2005, is a member of the USEF Dressage Committee and the USEF Breeding
Committee, and has chaired the USDF Sport Horse Committee since
2001, His leadership has helped bring about such developments
as the sport/breeding related record-keeping system now used by
USDF and USEF. He is the Dressage representative for the
USEF Strategic Planning Committe, assisting in the long term planning
for the c national sport horse organization, as well as being USEF
Young Horse Coach.
After the presentation, as time permits, Scott will answer questions
from the audience.
