Congrats Ali Potasky! What a well-deserved award. Way to shine. ☀️

Congratulations, Ali! 🎉

The Dressage Foundation is pleased to announce that Ali Potasky (KY) is the latest recipient of The Dressage Foundation’s $2,500 Patsy Albers Award. The award was presented at the recent USEF Heritage competition and World Cup Qualifier, Dressage at Devon.

Patsy Albers was a longtime supporter and Chef d'Equipe of the FEI North American Youth Championship (NAYC) Region 1 team. She was also very involved with the prestigious Dressage at Devon, where she served for many years as the FEI Event Director. The Patsy Albers Award is presented to the highest-placing Grand Prix rider who previously competed for the U.S. at NAYC. The goal of the Patsy Albers Award is to highlight riders who transitioned from NAYC to competing successfully in the CDI ring.

Ali is an FEI-level rider, trainer, and USDF bronze, silver, and gold medalist. She competed at NAYC at the Young Riders level in 2011, where she was a member of the bronze-medal-winning team. Her current Grand Prix horse, INXS, is owned by both Kathy and Ali, and is the first horse that she has developed up to the Grand Prix.

Ali said, “I’m honored to be recognized with TDF’s Patsy Albers Award at Dressage at Devon. INXS and I received the 2023 Carol Lavell Advanced Dressage Prize from TDF, so I know firsthand how helpful funding and recognition can be. The path to becoming a seasoned CDI competitor looks different for everyone, and I’m lucky mine included competing at NAYC. I’m grateful to INXS for being such a willing partner as we’ve grown together, and to everyone who supported us along the way in large and small ways. Thank you to TDF and the donors who keep Patsy’s legacy alive by investing in riders’ education. I hope to honor that by continuing to grow as a trainer and competitor.”

"I can’t always control whether pressure arises," she said, "but I can decide how much space I give it. The more consciously I remind myself of that, the more I realise that pressure does not control me. I decide how I deal with it."

There is NO WAY we can replicate the once-in-a -lifetime experience that we had in Portugal last year so... we are dreaming & scheming to make it even better this year. It will be smaller, more intimate, more customized to your needs as an athlete, a rider, and as a human.

The retreat was sold out but two last minute spots have opened up for October 24-31. (If you can call three months out last minute!)
You might know I am on a mission to make the very most out of my one wild and precious life, no matter what the world throws my way. And that the mission of Cadence Coaching is to help as many other people as we can do the same. That's what Cadence Coaching retreats are all about.

Here is all the info on the Portugal Reset Retreat 2026: https://courses.jenverharen.com/cadence-coaching-portugal-retreats?cid=c2bd0a00-f10c-46f8-91fb-70fbf1def6a3

Sometimes the best ideas come from realizing you need something yourself.

Jen Verharen shares how the idea for the Reset for Riders Wellness Retreat in Portugal was born — from her own realization that stepping away, slowing down, and reconnecting with nature isn’t a luxury… it’s necessary.

Sometimes we all need a retreat. https://courses.jenverharen.com/cadence-coaching-portugal-retreats

Huge Congrats to Cadence Coaching client and newly minted third level slayer, Angela Marie and her trainer, Lauren Chumley!

Angela put it so well: "Before this year, I believed that there was no room for nervousness or fear. They were feelings to be shoved down or invalidated. Now, I see them as proof that my nervous system is doing its job to try and protect me. But, that doesn’t mean that it has to stop me from doing what I love."

I love my job!
