Catherine Haddad represented the USA in the 2007 Rolex World Cup in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2006, as a member of the US Team she was named reserve rider for the USEF at the World Equestrian Games...she has lived and trained in Germany for the last 10 years, out of barn in Vechta.

New Video-5 yr. old, 3rd/M Level
This video is focused on lifting the neck and elevating the topline without getting the neck to curl. Catherine explains her use of the double bridle on this young horse as a tool to help train the flying changes. Catherine explains how she used the double to help keep the horse from jumping too far up in the change, coming down onto the forehand with the croup high. The double allowed her to use less hand by not having to use the bridle to get him back up after landing on the bit after the change. They also focus on elevating the topline, getting the counter canter you "really" want and schooling a bigger more expressive trot.

New Video- 7 yr. old, Level S/PSG
Bundeschampionate qualified mare. This is a nice video for those focusing on canter pirouettes and half steps. Katrin uses a very relaxed warm up moving quickly to canter which Katrin believes is most important in the training, explaining that everything else is much easier once the control and brilliance is accessed in the canter. Watch Katrin as she schools the half passes, which she uses to engage the hind leg so she can go immediately into half steps and passage work. She uses her voice, does not sit heavy and works for a very short time in a very relaxed and playful manner to get her horse she willingly work for her.

Tried and True Product Review (What is this?):

RevitavetBeing the skeptic that I am....and perhaps many of us are, I put the use of this product in the hands of the professional trainer at my local barn and then an additional trainer at a barn nearby. I watched as they used this device on multiple horses. Two of the horses had some soft tissue concerns in the legs, one was the recipient more as an attempt to alleviate some minor but constant sore back issues. As it is hard to directly ascertain if improvements were solely due to the use of the RediVet device, the trainer did say and I did observe that the healing process was much shorter than normal and the soreness of the back seemed to have gone away. These horses were consistently improving per the vet, with zero setbacks or hold patterns. We all know, recovery of these issues is rarely streamlined without a set back so these facts were particularly inspiring. I personally used the device on my horse, when I knew he was apt to be cold backed, usually due to his not being ridden for 2 days in a row. Upon use of this, the cold back issue was much less, as evidenced by his willing attitude, allowing the rider to sit his very boingy trot very early in the session rather than the the end of the session. I feel this is a solid product that definitely works, and is especially appropriate for a professional with multiple horses who systematically can apply this product correctly to the horse for the required period of time.

Lastly I would also mention, I allowed my mother to use the product on her back as well since she has a history of sciatica and it had flared up. She applied it 3 x per days for 2 days, and found that the pain was significantly reduced. She has had additional flare ups, however, she says that it relieved the pain dramatically enough that she was able to go without using muscle relaxers on day two, which is of course healthier for our mind and bodies.
