−Scott Hassler
will be the speaker at the Dressage at Devon Forum on Wednesday,

“We are very excited to have Scott Hassler at Dressage at Devon,” says
Melanie Sloyer, Board Member of Dressage at Devon. “Education is an
important piece of this event and Scott brings a wealth of knowledge
to the forum.”
Hassler, President and Director of Training for Hassler Dressage,
brings a wealth of experience to the Dressage at Devon Forum. A
veteran of eventing and open show jumping competition, Hassler rode
for the early Holsteiner organization in the U.S. as a teenager,
preparing horses for auction and sale out of the Holsteiner
headquarters in Virginia. As a young adult, Hassler turned his
talents, passion and energies to the sport of dressage and warmblood
breeding. In Germany, training with the late Herbert Rehbein, he
began to understand more deeply the connection between breeding and
sport. Returning to the US, Hassler built the breeding program at
Hilltop Farm, simultaneously training and developing a dozen horses to
Grand Prix. He was listed on the USET's Short List, and was a finalist
for the Pan American Games Selection in 1995.
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 Sporthorse Committee since 2001.
His leadership has helped bring about such developments as the
sport/breeding related record-keeping system now used in the USDF and
USEF. He is the dressage representative for the USEF Strategic
Planning Committee, assisting in the long-term planning for the
country's national horse sport organization, as well as the USEF Young
Horse Coach.
The Breeding and Development of the Young Dressage
Horse Forum will be held in the Devon Room at the 33rd Annual
Dressage at Devon Horse Show, on the Devon Horse Show Grounds in
Devon, PA. The Forum will begin at 7:00 (doors open at 6:00 pm.).
Tickets are $35. For information or to purchase tickets, contact Anne

Pennsylvania.
