Fun in Olympic proportions! A few weeks prior to the
Olympics,
ShowChic
hosted an Olympic predictions night with
Olympic dressage riders
Bent Jensen
and
Lars Petersen
.
Bent and Lars made predictions on which horse and rider
combinations might win individual medals, as well as which
countries might take home the team medals and shared their
own Olympic experiences. Guests were able to make their
own predictions and submitted them for a chance to win a
$100 gift certifcate to ShowChic. Look for an announcement
of the winners on the Sidelines Facebook page.
Congratulations to
Nicolas Torres Rodriguez
on getting
to see the Columbian fag wave at NAJYRC! Nicolas, of
Columbia, who rides with Dr. Cesar Parra, rode
Silver Label
to win the FEI Junior Team Test with a 70.027% toping the
feld of 36 riders at the North American Junior Young Riders
Championships in Lexington Kentucky. Cesar rode for
Columbia before becoming a U.S. citizen and riding for the
U.S. on the Pan Am Gold Team.
PR guru
Johnny Robb
has a new sweetheart! During a
trip to Brazil to visit Interagro Lusitanos, Johnny fell in love
with a gorgeous Lusitano named
Delicioso Interagro
. He
has arrived at Johnny’s farm in Florida and Johnny is looking
forward to riding off into the sunset with her new fellow.
Hats off to Super Mom
Carol Cohen
who amassed a slew of
sponsors for the
Region 3 Junior Young Riders
team. Thanks to
Carol’s canvassing, the Region 3 Team headed off to Kentucky for
the NAJYRC in style. Thanks goes out to the team rider’s families,
Ralph Lauren, International Polo Club, Polo Gear USA, The
Tackeria, Stillpoint Farm, Owls Roost Farm, Two Swans Farm,
Larsen Farms, Guardian Bedding and the ShowChic Dressage
Boutique for their support.
Travel seems to be the key word this summer as everyone is
coming and going.
Shannon Dueck
was out in California hosting
clinics at the Western States Horse Expo on behalf of her sponsors
Vita Flex. Word is that
Lily Zilo
is heading to the Netherlands
with LionShare trainer,
Endel Ots
for a horse shopping spree.
Meanwhile
Cesar Parra
was rumored to have visited Europe earlier
this summer and has two exciting new prospects fying back to the
US soon. And we also know that Choice of Champion’s,
Allyn
Maix
is packing her bags and heading to the Dublin Horseshow
in Ireland.
Stateside, we heard that trainer/judge,
Lisa Hyslop’s
husband,
Beck
(Red Barn)
Hyslop
took her to a real dive for her birthday
in July. Actually the couple went scuba diving to celebrate!
Meanwhile
Tuny Page
spent her 4th of July birthday with family
in Washington state, while her homies watched the sky light up at
International Polo Club with
Marty and Marcy Freedman
(Owls
Roost Farm),
Tim and
Kim Williamson
(Five Star),
Carol and
Rebecca Cohen
(Two Swans Farm),
Michele and Doug Hundt
(Show Chic) and
Christine and Erol Pinto
name just a few!
Speaking of Birthday’s Equine Attorney
Barbara Richardson
was the victim of a surprise birthday party at Dance Hall Farm
- the culprits were her son
Justin
and friend
Sue Sands
. Her
birthday soirée ended late into the evening with
Shannon and
Lorne Dueck
and Third Level dressage diva
Deb Hilton
the very
last to leave!
