2011 - 2012 Sunlight Horse Show Series
This year,
Dressage at Devon
, in conjunction
with the Devon Horse Show, is embarking on
a joint effort to raise the funds necessary to
excavate, improve the drainage and replace the
existing footing in the warm-up arena with the
same euro-felt about which competitors around
the world have raved. The improvements made
at Devon will take this historic facility one step
closer to being an international-caliber facility,
attracting competitors of the highest quality
from all over the USA and other countries.
Bumps and bruises
: Our buddy
Linda
Murphy
says she’s recovering nicely with
her new right hip. We know she’s going to be
horseback (and pain free) real soon!
Condolences to
Lisa Doker,
of Aiken, South
Carolina, on the loss of her dressage horse,
Flying Dutchman
, better known as Oree, who
was inadvertently shot by a deer hunter. The
hunter was in a deer stand on a neighbor’s
property and reportedly fred at a buck, hitting
her horse instead. South Carolina has one of
the nation’s longest deer seasons, stretching
from mid-August to January 1.
Engagements: Arianne Weiss
got a ring
from
Thomas Prestia
in November. They
will be married next December in Wellington
and Jill Townsend is hosting the reception.
Honeymoon planned for Italy, Egypt, Turkey
and Greece (perhaps that will help some of
those economies!) Best to you both.
Heather Bender, of Treasure Coast Dressage in Palm City, Florida, won
the Schneiders Saddlery Tack Room Award for her tack room setup at the
show grounds during the Wellington Classic Holiday Challenge. Schneiders
Saddlery is sponsoring the Tack Room Award during the 2012 dressage
season in South Florida
