I joined the team in 2012 as the co-editor of the NODA News and the Advertising/Classifies editor and after a short break became the lead editor in 2018. I volunteer in other capacities for NODA including formatting the recognized show program, the banquet program, formatting ads and writing articles, as well as taking photos and helping out at various events. My dressage partner is a 2008 Welsh cross pony, Aleksandr Robyn (aka Alaska) who lives at home at Spruce Narrows Farm in Seville. We train with NODA Professional Liaison, Emily Gill. In 2024 we I enjoyed watching Emily ride in a Recognized Working Equitation show, showing off Alaska at his finest! Alaska and I also did a few schooling shows and and working equitation clinics which was quite a bit of fun and always a learning experience. Supported in all things equestrian by my husband, Denis, we also have our Friesian mare, Sietske, and two standard poodles, Supai and Piegan at home. When I'm not riding, I treasures time with family, grandchildren, hiking, volunteering, and gardening.

Becky Nielsen

From Becky: Hello all! I have been involved with horses in one fashion or another since I was about 9 years old. It has been a love affair ever since! I own a Thoroughbred Mare named Arc de Nua (barn name Mona and affectionately referred to as The Princess or Barbie). I adopted Mona from New Vocations (race horse adoption organization who I can’t say enough good about). I was an art major in college and will work with Mosie and NODA with their needs in advertising and promoting our USDF Group Member Organization and our programs!
