Dressage Disaster: The Evolution Of Bad Horsemanship In The Grand Prix Dressage Ring DressageHub 2021-12-02 | I did it! I went down the rabbit hole of dressage disasters. I wanted to know if there is more dressage disasters today than there were historically or if we are just seeing more of them due to the availability of video streaming.I didn't have to look too far back to find this dressage disaster with Belinda Trussel and Anton at Fritzens in 2011. What today would not make the Dressage Hub Dressage Disaster list was once considered a horrific enough event in the grand prix dressage ring to make Belinda Trussell realize that it was best to respectfully retire instead of carrying on. Have we made winning so important in the last 10 years that we are creating a community of ride or die riders instead of riders who are masters at horsemanship?For access to more awesome videos, subscribe to Dressage Hub on Patreon patreon.com/user?u=2722353 Check out our Amazon store for awesome things for equestrians! amazon.com/shop/dressagehub For more great videos on keeping your horse safe, happy and healthy, subscribe to Dressage Hub. http://www.youtube.com/dressagehub Connect with us: www.facebook.com/dressagehub TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@dressagehub_o...

Adrienne Lyle Tack Malfunction: PSA To Check Your Tack Before A Show DressageHub 2024-09-23 | Adrienne Lyle had run through the test in her head, received her last words of advice from her coach, and was just waiting for the bell to ring for the Grand Prix Special in the FEI Nations Cup at the CHIO Rotterdam (the Netherlands) on June 23, when things abruptly went pear-shaped.Upon entering the Rotterdam Arena, Salvino’s noseband broke.“I was trotting down the outside, and he felt really good,” said Lyle. “All of a sudden he threw his head in the air, and I looked down and realized the noseband was flapping around. I immediately turned and ran back to the in-gate.”It was all hands-on deck from there, with Lyle’s groom Morgan Klingensmith and members of the Dutta Corp. U.S. Dressage Team scrambling to fix the faulty tack.“My groom always has extras of everything; anything you might need in case of emergency,” said Lyle. “[The noseband] wasn’t the right size for him; it was just an extra we had in the bag, so we had to make some quick adjustments to get it on in time for them to let me go back in.“We have such a great team; they didn’t hesitate at all to rush in and help me,” Lyle continued. “I trotted [to the in-gate] like, ‘What do I do? I guess I have to excuse myself; I can’t go in with a broken bridle,’ and then all of a sudden they’re whipping out nosebands from backpacks.”With the pressure already on—the competition doubled as an observation event for a team spot for the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games (North Carolina)—the 11-year-old Hanoverian stallion (Sandro Hit—Dynastie, Donnerhall) managed to hold it together for a final score of 71.91 percent.“It wasn’t his strongest showing,” admitted Lyle. “At the beginning of the test he was very tense; I could feel it in his back and in the connection. We put the noseband on in a rush, so I don’t think things were fitting comfortably, and he didn’t feel very comfortable [in his mouth], so I just tried to finesse our way through the test. We got through it, which was all we were trying to do at that point.”At the end of her test, Lyle, 33, Ketchum, Idaho, gave Salvino a pat on the neck, a rub of the ear and a kiss to reward him for his cooperation.“I [didn’t] want him to have a terrible experience, so I just [tried] to keep him calm,” said Lyle. “I was really impressed that for being a stallion, never having been in that big ring before and having all this commotion, that he was able to get it together as fast as he did. At least he didn’t say, ‘I can’t do it.’ ”The Dutta Corp. U.S. Dressage Team, comprised of Lyle on Salvino, Olivia LaGoy-Weltz on Lonoir, Kasey Perry-Glass on Goerklintgaards Dublet, and Steffen Peters on Rosamunde, finished in third place in the Nations Cup competition.For access to more awesome videos, subscribe to Dressage Hub on Patreon patreon.com/user?u=2722353 Check out our Amazon store for awesome things for equestrians! amazon.com/shop/dressagehub For more great videos on keeping your horse safe, happy and healthy, subscribe to Dressage Hub. http://www.youtube.com/dressagehubConnect with us: www.facebook.com/dressagehub TikTok tiktok.com/@dressagehub_officialTwitter @dressagehub Instagram @dressagehub Tumblr Dressage hub
Hidden Footage By The FEI From The Pan American Games Team Dressage - Dressage DIsaster DressageHub 2024-01-19 | The FEI tried to bury this dressage ride from the live stream at the Pan American Games in 2023. In trying to watch why Ecuadorian rider Carolina Espinosa was eliminated in the prix st george test the screen was blank. The FEI did their best but failed to recognize that we are in the day and age of cameras. They also underestimated that we have the best fans in the world here at Dressage Hub. This rider looks like they were put on a schoolmaster two weeks before the Pan Am Games and told to go compete for their country. This ride is beyond a disaster it should have never happened in the first place. The horse is so overwhelmed by the aids being all over the place that it looks for an exit strategy from life when she heads into the walk pirouettes.

Dressage Fail X 3: Triple Trouble In The Grand Prix Dressage Week 1 @ The Global Dressage Festival DressageHub 2024-01-17 | The Global Dressage Festival has officially kicked off another season. Week 1 was cold and rainy which meant the horses were hot and sassy as the riders came down centerline for the grand prix and the grand prix special dressage tests. This led to 3 different riders having a bit of a dressage fail when it came to their dressage test. While these each of these dressage fails is not a disaster we are putting them on the dressage disaster list because there are 3 of them.

Everdale Waves Tongue at the Dressage Judges In The Grand Prix Freestyle With Charlotte Fry DressageHub 2024-01-01 | This week we talked about Charlotte Fry and Everdale with regard to the stallions tail and the braid in it causing imobility but the blue tongue video needed a longer edit. In the Grand Prix dressage freestyle at the world cup in Mechelen, the tail did have slightly more movement than we noticed in the grand prix, however the horses tongue was waving at the judges at several points during the dressage test. I pulled one short clip to discuss the blue tongue so that we could start the conversation about judging.

What Happened To Everdales Tail? Ridden By Charlotte Fry In The Grand Prix Dressage Test DressageHub 2023-12-28 | Calling all experts! We noticed something a little different on the grand prix dressage stallion Everdale so we decided to take a deeper look. I don't have the answers but I know that you do. Why does a horse stop swishing its tail? Does it become better balance? Is it braided too tight? Botox? Nerve damage? What causes such a dramatic change? Also ... is braiding tails about to become a new trend in #dressage?

Dressage Disaster: Famoso Fails Benjamin Werndl In The Grand Prix Dressage Test DressageHub 2023-12-26 | Famosos failed Benjamin Werndl not once but twice in the grand prix dressage test last week. What I like about this is the horse does not look trigger stacked the way most horses do when they make it into this section of Dressage Hub. He quietly reassures Famoso and gets him refocused quickly. Benjamin Werndl is working hard to develop a trusting relationship with his dressage horse.

Abuse Allegations For Canadian Olympian & Youth Coach Evi Strasser Appear On Euro Dressage DressageHub 2023-12-01 | In the wake of the media outcry around the Operation X expose on Andreas Helgstrand, people are starting to name and shame the people who are abusing horses. While reading the comments section on EuroDressage this week I found these comments and photos that allege that Evi Strasser has abused her dressage horses. The abuse in dressage is widespread at the top of the sport and as many equestrians gather the courage to name and shame the top grand prix riders in the sport, dressage had better be ready for the fall.

5 Ways To Fix The Corruption In The Dressage Ring - In Light of The OpX Helgstrand Expose DressageHub 2023-11-30 | Here at Dressage Hub I have had a lot of time to look at all of the angles of how corrupt dressage has become and a lot of time to ponder solutions. I do not have all of the answers but I do think that these 5 simple things can be implemented to make a step in the right direction. In light of the Operation X documentary on TV2 in Denmark, showcasing the amount of abuse going on at his dressage stable, there was public outcry for change within the sport of dressage. While Andreas Helgstrand is one example of the abuse in dressage it is certainly not in isolation.

How Dressage Trainers Cover Up The Abuse At The Riding Stable - Real World Examples DressageHub 2023-11-28 | In light of Operation x on TV2 last week, a lot of people are wondering how he got away with it. More importantly how is it so widespread throughout the dressage community at the top and nobody talks about it. The short answer is that they abuse people as much as they abuse horses. I have the worlds greatest fans here at Dressage Hub, and about once a month I have someone send me something to publish. Abuse is a tricky space to navigate. While Astrid over at Euro Dressage is mostly concerned about lawsuits and refrains from publising the abuse, I generally want to ensure that all of the whistle blowers are going to remain safe. SafeSport does not protect working students and grooms from the hidden world of abuse in the sport of dressage. So let's get into it. If you have been following the scandal around Operation X where TV2 in Denmark sent a groom undercover into the Helgstrand Dressage sales barn, you are going to want to watch this. Andreas Helgstrand responded to the media to defend his practices. He makes a lot of claims to the television reported but she catches him in his lies.

Dressage Rider Heather Blitz Defends - Helgstrand After Operation X Expose - FB Post In Description DressageHub 2023-11-26 | Heather Blitz has been shown over and over again here on Dressage Hub destroying the horses she rides with abuse, so it would make sense for her to defend Andreas Helgstrand in light of the Operation X animal abuse expose by TV2 in Denmark. Here is what she had to say on Facebook. How many of you critics of horse trainers out there have experience enough to really back up what you are complaining about? Seriously? And do you confirm it’s actual abuse before you jump on the bandwagon of hating? When you see blood in the mouth, have you found out for sure whether it was an innocent mistake that the horse just pinched their own lip before you acuse the trainer of ABUSE? If you hate that a horse is behind the vertical, have you asked whether that rider would like as much as anyone to keep the nose out and poll up but the horse naturally goes too deep and isn’t strong enough yet to hold that advanced balance before you decide to HATE? One of my horses runs free in her pasture waaay behind the vertical because that’s natural for her. Who will you hate for that? Just curious. There is no shortage of abusive riding, ego and greed in the training business for sure. I don’t need reminders about that so save your comments. 🙄 I’m actually not even talking about the opX debacle. Just responding to where so many online critics are taking this. No one should train with anger, or lack of awareness of what they’re trying to get across to their horse and must be able to recognize when they have made their point and stop there. Abusive riding most often is involving emotion and anger and when there’s no recognition of the right answer from the horse and the rider goes on past that point. The other most common, insidious abusiveness is lack of correct rider biomechanics together with aids totally conflicting what the rider’s body is inherently telling the horse to do. But I do have to stand to for my fellow, skilled and mentally balanced, compassionate and body aware trainers out there who now fear if you so much as brush your horse wrong you will be banned and blamed for everything. I mean trainers who take the responsibility of being balanced, non emotional, consistent and aware of the correctness of their own bodies as #1 priority! We are not to blame when horses are born with kissing spines and can’t stand up to normal healthy riding, or have genetic OCDs that eventually become their demise even with the most correct and passionate program in the horse’s best interest, or twist a gut because horses have a tricky digestive set up and it just happens. One person writes how it’s so terrible that the average age of horses in a certain country is 7. While that is a depressing fact, be careful about blaming that all on over pushing training or bad riding. I had one in particular with 3 problem limbs before he was even in training at all and had to be retired before he even started. Warmbloods in general are more than ever being bred for big movement and good looks rather than health and substance and are born with myriad health issues or insufficiencies. Of course there are some breeders who prioritize the right things!! But many don’t. Horses often come out of the womb with issues from tongue habits to nervousness and over reactivity. If you haven’t been around alot of breeding and foals to young horses, you can’t comment on that. If you have, you’ve seen it yourself. If we’re very lucky, we get one that truly is just a middle of the road, blank slate with no weak areas. Horses that have behavioral issues from birth that aren’t given the right kind of leadership and boundaries and training will live their lives suffering from their own demons. I can’t tell you how many horses I’ve helped get over their fears and insecurities by making sure training gives them life skills and confidence in me and themselves. Without guidance, so many horses would remain terrified of their own weaknesses and remain or become dangerous to handlers and riders and end up in much worse situations or hurting someone. In many cases, it can be dramatic what they get themselves into. And our job as trainers is to somehow magically get them through it without any stress? Sometimes just getting through a session without any drama is impossible because of what they bring to it. Just staying calm in a room with a crazy person is a skill in itself! I really didn’t want to get involved in this online maelstrom but i feel it’s necessary to protect those of us who are out there putting our lives on the line to give horses a good, healthy education. It’s a very tough job that is impossible to perfect and now we’re going to be looking over our shoulder constantly for the next secret camera and overzealous critic. If you want to change the trainers, change what the judges reward and how the horses are bred!

Danish Dressage Federation Attempts To Cover Up Their Negligence With a Temporary Ban For Helgstrand DressageHub 2023-11-23 | The big problem with abuse in the sport of dressage is that it is surrounded by money and systemic in its support for how it all happens. Today the Danish Dressage Federation got caught with their pants down so to speak. Operation X aired on TV2 last night and showcased the abuse that is taking place at Helgstrand Dressage. In response the Danish Dressage Federation made an attempt to look like they are doing something they have offered up a temporary ban until the dust settles and people move on. This is a short-term solution to help make them look like they are being proactive in the eyes of the public. They were informed about the abusive practices happening at Helgstrand Dressage and against the advice of a vet, they turned a blind eye. The problem is systemic.

Johann Hinnemann: You Must be Able to Ride ALL Grand Prix Dressage Movements Well DressageHub 2023-08-28 | In this Grand Prix dressage lesson with dressage legend Johann Hinnemann, he talk about riding the details. There was a point in time were you could have a horse with nice changes or a horse with nice pirouettes and still win the Grand Prix. Today, the sport has evolved to the point where you must strive for perfection of all of the grand prix dressage movements. So many of the horses are capable of doing all of the movements well that it is required to win. As Johann Hinnemann works through every last detail of training filmed at the USDF Trainers conference we are reminded that every single moment counts during a dressage test. And this is what has made him the great master that he is today.

Dressage Fail: The Canadian Young Riders Dressage Lame Horse Saga DressageHub 2023-08-14 | Last week I posted a short clip of a Canadian Young Rider being eliminated due to her dressage horse being lame in the individual dressage test. In that video, I wanted to hold the team around her accountable for sending her down the centerline on a lame horse. One of her friends reached out to me to remove the video to say that the horse became lame once the test started. SInce I don;t take kindly to being gaslit I decided to look into it further and this is what I found. Her young rider's dressage horse was definitely lame in the team dressage test however not as bad as it was in the individual test.

Why DId This Dressage Rider Get Elminated From the Grand Prix? DressageHub 2023-08-09 | Last weekend at the World Young Horse Championships in Dressage there was also a Grand Prix dressage class. The judges were hot to trot on the bell to ring riders out and here is one example of that elmination. I am sure someone in our fan base knows the whole situation but I was not able to pin down a reason for elmination on any media outlet. So.... The question of the day is, Why did this dressage rider get elminated from the Grand Prix dressage test in Ermelo?For access to more awesome videos, subscribe to Dressage Hub on Patreon patreon.com/user?u=2722353 Check out our Amazon store for awesome things for equestrians! amazon.com/shop/dressagehub For more great videos on keeping your horse safe, happy and healthy, subscribe to Dressage Hub. http://www.youtube.com/dressagehub Connect with us: www.facebook.com/dressagehub TikTok tiktok.com/@dressagehub_official Twitter @dressagehub Instagram @dressagehub Tumblr Dressage hub

The Dressage Judge Is Blind - Lameness Goes Unoticed By Judge In The Grand Prix Dressage Test DressageHub 2023-04-02 | If you have ever been quested if dressage judges are as blind as a football referee we finally have actual evidence that dressage judges can in fact be blind. This horse started out looking good in the grand prix dressage test, then suddenly half way through the extended trot the horse takes several uneven steps. The rider (who is awesome) pulls up and excuses herself from the test. The judge who should have had one of the best views of the sudden lameness had no idea what just happened and had to ask the rider why she retired. What that play out. Last week we showed you a series of riders who continued to ride their horses through the grand prix while lame. It is refreshing to see a talented rider that is able to feel that her horse is taking uneven steps and retires immediately.Check out our Amazon store for awesome things for equestrians! amazon.com/shop/dressagehubFor more great videos on keeping your horse safe, happy and healthy, subscribe to Dressage Hub.http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...Connect with us:www.facebook.com/dressagehubTwitter @dressagehubInstagram @dressagehubTumblr Dressage hubThe Dressage Judge Is Blind - Lameness Goes Unoticed By Judge In The Grand Prix Dressage Test

Dressage Fail: Lame FEI Grand Prix Dressage Horse Compilation DressageHub 2023-03-27 | When you tell me that grand prix dressage riders are the best in the world and this is what is coming down centerline I not only judge them I judge you. By allowing grand prix dressage riders to have free reign and only be held accountable by "those who have done it" you end up with a complete and total failure of accountability in the sport of dressage. This is not the first time we have called out dressage riders for taking lame horses down the centerline in the grand prix, you can watch Jill Irving finish the grand prix on DH, but it is the most that we have ever seen in one weekend. You cannot watch this and tell me that not one single person that is part of any of these team did not stop for a single moment to say, maybe today is not your day to ride the grand prix dressage test. This is a complete and total dressage fail and is why we feature so many dressage disasters here at Dressage Hub. This an absolute fail not only by what should be some of the top riders in the sport but the top vets, grooms and stewards that should be monitoring the warm-up ring. *Note for Karen: I should not be able to make this video is the world's best dressage riders were in fact doing what they do well.

Dressage Disaster + Disaster + Disaster + Disaster = Canada Sets The Bar For The Elite Team Low DressageHub 2023-03-08 | When we first started the dressage disaster series there is always 1 or 2 Canadian dressage riders from the elite team in the mix. Those riders are set to leave a legacy as we watch the entire elite Canadian dressage roster fail in the dressage ring. Young and old alike, dressage in Canada needs to make better choices and start choosing talent over money. This year has been exceptional for Canada in terms of dressage disasters, 3 dressage riders have actually fallen off at the Global Dressage Festival. If there ever was an argument against helmets the Canadian riders have ensured that dressage will never return to top hats. In this video we watch Evi Strasser, Brooke Mancusi, Ally Dunlop and more have an epic equestrian fail one after another. The bar is so low you can fall off and be on a team as long as you have money.*Note for Karen - Instead of being mad that I posted, be mad that it happened. No need to worry about my skill level as I have ridden at a higher level than all but one of these riders. I trust that means you think I am qualified to have the opinions that I do and will accept them because of that.For access to more awesome videos, subscribe to Dressage Hub on Patreonpatreon.com/user?u=2722353Check out our Amazon store for awesome things for equestrians! amazon.com/shop/dressagehubFor more great videos on keeping your horse safe, happy and healthy, subscribe to Dressage Hub.http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=dressagehubConnect with us:www.facebook.com/dressagehubTwitter @dressagehubInstagram @dressagehubTumblr Dressage hub

Dressage Disaster: Record Breaking 4 Minute Meltdown DressageHub 2023-02-13 | We have seen a lot of dressage disasters here at Dressage Hub and the Global Dressage Festival has provided us will a lot of drama this week with some of the biggest disasters we have ever seen. In this video we watch what seems like a record breaking dressage disaster when the dressage horse enters the ring and proceeds to have a meltdown by the in-gate. This meltdown lasts almost a full two minutes. Once the FEI Dressage horse enters the ring the rider navigates through some of the tension and is met with several more meltdowns. In reality, I think the rider went in to give this horse the opportunity to end this ride on a good note. As soon as the test is going well the rider excuses herself from the dressage ring. *Note for Karen: I know you are here looking for the name of the rider, however, since you asked that I removed the names of the riders from the videos, I am doing so .... just for you.

Dressage Disaster: Catastrophic Crash For Carrie Schopf In The Grand Prix Dressage Ring DressageHub 2023-02-10 | When the helmet rule came into effect for FEI Dressage riders a few years ago the argument was that none of these elite riders ever fall off at horse shows. Here we are in 2023 and we have two FEI riders come crashing off twice in one week. Someone needs to coin the marketing slogan "Helmets, For when you can't fix bad horsemanship." Dressage riders have jacked up and trigger-stacked the FEI dressage horses so much that they are literally no longer capable of being a harmonious or even submissive partner in the dressage ring. The inception of bigger thigh rolls allows riders to be capable of riding higher levels of dressage than they are physically capable of. Riders are over horsed and it is not a good look for dressage. Carrie Schopf is 65 years old and probably as invincible as the young rider we saw crash in yesterday's video. But at what point do we hold the team around these riders accountable for their safety. There is a coach, trainer, groom or someone along the line that probably could have said this horse is a bit hot today. Or is it because there was a trigger-stacked warm-up that set the horse up for failure. Yesterday's crash: youtu.be/2KZHfncD0d0These crashes are not just a dressage disaster for each of these riders it is a complete disaster for the sport. As it continues in the direction that I have been talking about over the past few years. My videos garner a lot of hate but I am not wrong. Dressage has evolved and so have the disasters. It is time to bring back safety and animal welfare into the sport before we lose it forever. Steps off soapboxNotes For Karen: Something did not just happen in that corner. This horse has ridden at this venue for years. It is also a Grand Prix Dressage horse that should be able to fly around the world from venue to venue without any problems. Training is the point of dressage.

Dressage Disaster: Canadian Rider Causes Complete Chaos In The CDI Dressage Warm-Up In Wellington DressageHub 2023-02-09 | We are off to a slow start this season in Florida at the Global Dressage Festival, however the Canadian dressage riders never seem to disappoint. We are headed into week 5 and captured this warm-up footage of Canadian dressage rider Aubrie Miller causing complete chaos in the CDI dressage warm-up arena. We have seen some pretty crafty tactics to win around here at Dressage Hub but we haven't seen a dressage rider try to take out all of the competition at once like a bowling ball in the warm-up. That is, at least until now. Well played. *Note for karen: horse and rider are fine.For access to more awesome videos, subscribe to Dressage Hub on Patreon patreon.com/user?u=2722353 Check out our Amazon store for awesome things for equestrians! amazon.com/shop/dressagehub For more great videos on keeping your horse safe, happy and healthy, subscribe to Dressage Hub. youtube.com/dressagehubConnect with us: www.facebook.com/dressagehub Twitter @dressagehub Instagram @dressagehub Tumblr Dressage hub
Dressage Disaster: BLOOD Elimination For Andreas Helgstrand DressageHub 2023-01-28 | Andreas Helgstrand has made his legacy in dressage a household name. From symposiums, horse sales and horse show acquisitions he is a name that garners a lot of attention in the circles of dressage. At the FEI World Cup Grand Prix in Amsterdam, the commentary went from gushing about Queensparks Wendy to gushing blood in just a matter of a few minutes. Andreas Helgstrand was eliminated half way through his grand prix dressage test resulting in this dressage disaster. The worst part of this dressage disaster is Natasha Baker trying to gaslight fans into believing that this is a totally normal and acceptable part of the sport. I disagree. I suspect with the elimination of marshmallow fluff, known here at Dressage Hub as Fluffgate, we will see many more blood eliminations in the dressage ring.
Dressage Disaster: Judy Reynolds Debuts Different In The Grand Prix Dressage Freestyle DressageHub 2023-01-21 | Judy Reynolds Debut a new Grand Prix dressage horse and we are thrilled to see her back in the show ring! Every grand prix debut comes with unique challenges and this one was no different for Olympian Judy Reynolds. While I tend to keep my opinions to myself on the dressage disasters I did want to take the opportunity to walk you through this one.A few years ago we had a guest do several videos in which we explained trigger stacking and what it looks like in a dressage disaster. The series also talks about why horses ridden in rolkur are more likely to enter the dressage ring trigger stacked. You can watch those videos here: To help people understand what we here at Dressage Hub see is happening in this test we posted a few additional videos. One is a veterinarian talking about Anoxia and fear is triggered in horses that are trained using rolkur. You can watch that video titled - That Horse Is Not Spooking, He Thinks He Is Dying here: youtu.be/zO8_F5bQMPwThe second video we published discussed trigger stacking and how to understand the elements of fear in horses and how this test is not a simple spook but rather a combination of triggers to send this horse into a state of fear and flight. You can watch the video on the basics of trigger stacking here: youtu.be/OU2tE-cCzloJudy Reynolds shows the dessage community what it looks like to have a healthy training partnership with your dressage horse and how a dressage disaster can easily be averted when you use solid training principles in your program. While this ride is far from perfect it is representative of how a true horseperson and a well-seasoned professional handles a dressage disaster.For access to more awesome videos, subscribe to Dressage Hub on Patreon patreon.com/user?u=2722353 Check out our Amazon store for awesome things for equestrians! amazon.com/shop/dressagehub For more great videos on keeping your horse safe, happy and healthy, subscribe to Dressage Hub. youtube.com/dressagehubConnect with us: www.facebook.com/dressagehub Twitter @dressagehub Instagram @dressagehub Tumblr Dressage hub
