meeting her deadlines on a
local paper in the Ashville,
NC area).
Danika Rice has an eye

and this month interviewed
Russell Stimmel, just back

So once again, whatever
your discipline, you’ll fnd
someone sharing your
passion in these pages.
Enjoy – and Merry
Christmas and Happy New
Year. Happy Hanukah too!
Until next month,

Letter from the Editor
What a fun issue this is! With the holidays fast
approaching, it seemed like a good time to query a bunch
of riders as to what they’d like to fnd in their stockings,
under the tree or in that empty stall. Our cover girl, Daniela
Stransky seems to have a yen for a puppy…
My former next door neighbors, BJ Meeks and Pablo
Perez, have been doing good work very quietly and without
any fanfare for over 25 years, and we are thrilled to learn
that their efforts on behalf of migrant workers’ children are
being recognized. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Lauren Giannini writes about Nona Garson in this
issue. Wonderwoman Nona has represented the US in 20
countries and has shown hunters in every top class ring
in North America. She’s been very competitive; but she
considers it an honor and a privilege to be with horses. No
wonder we all love her so!
Fred McWane continues writing about horses in the
Civil War and his excellent photos taken at reenactments
beautifully illustrate his prose.
